And that’s why we walked on by straight to Iraq.

yet we left Iraq and are still in Afghanistan. We knew there was no oil there when we launched the war.
I know specific oligarchs benefited from the war like Cheney through Haliburton.. but specifically how did we benefit from the oil? We left it in the hands of the Iraq govt. Hence why ISIS managed to seize parts of it when they started taking over. |

I've been saying it for years. Human beings are not capable of emotionally or intellectually understanding a world of 7 billion people and how they all interact. There's no moral mountain to climb with all of this ****. There's simply too much to understand for the human brain and nihilism is the only result.

We're all savages. We're just hiding it better with turtlenecks and rules of war. It wasn't third world savages who killed six million Jews in death factories.

What you're describing is universal. Very few people are principled enough to sacrifice themselves for the greater good
But we are better at least than our former selves in that we aren't carpet bombing cities. We actually consider collateral damage a bad thing. This is actually not the norm for humans. We've been waging total war since Cain and Abel. And most societies today are quite behind on the times. The ones that aren't are usually being protected by the united States.

Genocide is very present in the third world. And the Nazis weren't exactly big believers in the "rules of war" |
