U S A Hegemon

This is how it works:

The USA military destabilizes entire regions, and then sells weapons for third world people to defend themselves.

“There is an immediate military threat emerging on the Saudi periphery,” said Sabahat Khan, a defence analyst at the Institute for Near East and Gulf Military Analysis.
“The threat from ISIL has reached the Saudi border. It’s going to be a battle that will span many years. In Yemen, to the south, the [Houthi] rebels are creating problems ... that’s in addition to the long-standing threat from Iran.”
The Middle East is also the world’s fastest growing defence market, with annual spending totalling about $150bn, according to the Stockholm International Peace Research Institute (Sipri).
Global defence spending totalled about $1.75 trillion last year, says Sipri.
“When we look at the likely export-addressable opportunities at the global level for the defence industry, five of the 10 leading countries are from the Middle East,” Mr Moores said.

Here is the President who lead earlier lead the Army to victory over the Nazis. He warns of "powers sought and unsought."  Sure arms companies seek business, but right wing Christians give them powers unsought and the progressives much welcome the funding of their sinecures brought about by the revenue from arms sales.  Sounds good, except the little girls we set on fire so we can have free $#*! and the people who starve while trade is disrupted for a snuff film fest.

Before you address a problem, you must admit there is a problem, and assess its contours.  We've known about this for fifty years at least.


Sack cloth and ashes, at least.
