(62,325 posts)on whether or not we will stop using Mercs or paying our proxy puppets as in Iraq eg, to take over the payment of their salaries, or whether we will be spending more money on Drones, to SELL TO our 'new' puppet allies, as in Iraq eg. Are we in the arms business or the war business, it's hard to tell sometimes. Both I suppose. One leads to the other it seems ....
Hey, thanks for providing this thread so we could explore all these questions. As I said above, last time we are told, we didn't ask enough questions and shouldn't have been surprised by some of the policies we were later shocked by.
This time, we will be asking, you count on that ... not that we will get answers, but if nothing else, to demonstrate how we have zero power anymore, as a people. First the acknowledgement of the problem, then maybe, a way to fix it. At least we are far, far more aware now than we were during the Bush years and that is a step in the right direction.
