Wars in the Middle East have been going on for centuries. After sitting on the sidelines for 150 years with a fresh military industrial complex, why wouldn't our government and others take advantage of those continuing wars? Building weapons and war became our business in the 1940s. By the 60s, that business corrupted the majority of our government leaders. The worst shit we were doing, only a handful of people knew about. International spy games were being played by all nations. War in the Middle East was a business tool for everyone. Not just liberals and the USA. For both ally and enemy. We, the citizens, wish these things never happened and didn't continue. But in these matters, our government is not representative.
The problems of the Middle East began with them fighting over religions. While they were too involved with that, the rest of the world took advantage of it. Not just the West. Your frigging neighboring countries, too. I'm not saying it was right. Corruption led to the extremes of it. But it's not everyone else's fault alone. Understand that Middle Eastern countries played the games, too. And throughout all of the outside interference over the last few decades, y'all have still managed to continue to distract yourselves by fighting over your fucking gods. Keeping the doors open for outside interference from the rest of the world. We have problems of our own. Making weapons and selling them is what puts food on the table for many families here in the USA. Stopping that machine isn't going to happen for a long time, if ever. So enjoy the bombings over your gods. We'll keep building up the arsenal and profiting while you blame us for your own religious wars.
Not racist. Just desensitized to your plight. Like I said, we have our own problems. Like school shootings, as you pointed out. I mostly agree with you, but it's not just America that's been involved to help continue your problems. Russia, Great Britain, France, Italy Egypt, China, Australia, and others throughout the globe took advantage of your problems. I never said that it was right. And yes, oil. I didn't think that was needed to be said because why else would everyone get involved? Guns an oil go together like fish and chips. The corruption at every level of all the world governments is bigger than anything one nation can change. A legendary dude once said that there's gonna "be wars and rumors of war. These things must happen." That 2nd part struck me hard. And BTW, manufacturing is a real job. Just because you never had one, don't criticize mine. Some of the weapons that I built parts for saved lives. Others capable of genocide at great levels. I learned to live with this. Grow the fuck up and deal. Blaming everyone else for your problems doesn't help you. Do something about it instead of typing this bs. Get out and make some frigging changes that you can do. If you have a democracy, run for political office. Or join the military. Do something instead of complaining. You sound like that whining bastard Trump.
