In reply to the discussion: The US is wrecking the Middle East again - in ways you don't even realise [View all]EdwardBernays
(3,343 posts)40. well.......
you're RIGHT, but...
These policies are a continuation of DECADES of US foreign policy, including multiple coups, endless civilian deaths, secret treaties, installed dictators, rigged elections, funding terrorist groups, theft of resources, etc., etc., etc., that most Americans know nothing about.
That ignorance is what allows people like the Neocons to have any power at all... the same goes for scum like Kagan.
Sure even Hilary herself threatened to nuke Iran at one point...
This sort of disgusting nonsense is mainstream US foreign policy.

OP
I agree that in theory this could happen but realistically I don't see it taking place.

After emphasizing the word "YOU" in your previous post, YOU have to ask who is being referred to?

Yep - money is power. Unfortunately our politicians get to pick societies winners and losers...
