This is the mission creep of this war. No clear objectives no exit strategy. Send more ships more troops.
Gotta have a war going so no one talks about Epstein.
No better way to distract from raping hundreds of children than by murdering a few thousand brown ones
Not all of the American children will be brown, but they're probably poor and they will be praised for their bravery so people don't feel as bad,
One of the gems of the latter simpsons episodes is grandpa mocking the complaints of an iraq war vet "It was too hot, the USO show was rob schneider, US objectives were and remain incomprehensible."
The same will apply here, except the uso show will be kid rock.
Without blowing another big hole in our budget, people might get the idea that we should start taxing the Epstein class to fund things like childcare, healthcare, education, scientific research, feeding, clothing and housing all our people, and updating/fixing our infrastructure here at home.
There is always going to be money to pay for bullshit like this in "defense" of 'merica, but anything done for actual people IN America will have to be means tested and always up for getting cut by the likes of idiots that thought "doge" was a good idea.
