Great time for someone to invade the US. Please, the people of Minnesota yearn for freedom from this authoritarian regime
Capitalism is a national security threat
the system eats itself
By the way what a hilarious picture of an junkie and a warmonger.
something something paper tiger?
though they have been moving quite a lot of military equipment around lately.
i'd bet they want to strike soon anyway, and drop ukraine/europe if they need to like the bureaucrats have been threatening.
Yup, I think this is why they've been so desperate to negotiate with Russia and find some off ramp I'm Ukraine.
it's had to discern what's happening because people like sachs say the military industrial complex is try to keep the war going, but others agree w your statement.
I'd argue both of these things are true. The people making profit off the war want to keep making money, and people who want to consolidate resources for strategic purposes like destroying Iran want to end it. You have to keep in mind that the US is not a hivemind with a common purpose. There are many different groups all pulling things in different directions based on their own interests.

the latest batch of epstein files confirms that there are other groups out there and we can infer that they don't always align.
you're ahead of the curve. lol
The US wants to go to war in Iran on behalf of Israel. Everything is secondary to that.
That seems to be the dominant faction in the US right now for sure.
More like the last 50 years
True, they've dreamt of invading Iran since their regime there was overthrown.
Good
Well they're moving a lot of Ukraine weapons making to Europe. Denmark for example. The metropoly may be struggling, but it's still an empire
if you look at the tangible numbers, there's barely anything actually being produced in Europe
Do you by chance have data on this?
There's no single report summing this up, but here are a few article discussing European dependence on US arms exports
The problem that Europe has is lack of access to cheap energy. They're now pretty entirely reliant on expensive LNG from the US, and industries things steel production, essential to the military, are incredibly expensive as a result.
