It is...their business model. And they have been known to do it before. The I-MIC exists because of war.I’m aware of the Military Industrial Complex and I’m no fan. I’ve been against many of our wars we’ve been on for that reason. But how would you respond when a country continues to provoke over and over to the point of leading and assault on our embassy? The same people who held our people hostage in an embassy 40 years ago.
Did those companies conspire for this to happen?
Should be give the Iranians another $180 Billion to appease them? And what do you think that money was used for?
I’m no war monger, but these are some bad characters that past administrations have allowed to run wild for too long. I do like the fact that we’ve chosen economic sanctions vs military moves in the last couple years, but we’d all be naive to think they’d just sit and take it.
There are well studied and researched causes of extremism. Imo, we could help the region through economic cooperation, resources, infrastructure, education, stability, etc. When people tend to lack these, is when they are at their most vulnerable.Problems started post WWI with Britain’s duplicitous behavior and unfortunately we inherited it. This are has been unstable for a millennia and nothing we will do will change that one bit. Thankfully we are closer than ever to energy independence to where hopefully we can walk away from that region eventually.
