Every gun that is made, every warship launched, every rocket fired signifies, in the final sense, a theft from those who hunger and are not fed, those who are cold and are not clothed. This world in arms is not spending money alone. It is spending the sweat of its laborers, the genius of its scientists, the hopes of its children. The cost of one modern heavy bomber is this: a modern brick school in more than 30 cities. It is two electric power plants, each serving a town of 60,000 population. It is two fine, fully equipped hospitals. It is some fifty miles of concrete pavement. We pay for a single fighter with a half-million bushels of wheat. We pay for a single destroyer with new homes that could have housed more than 8,000 people. . . . This is not a way of life at all, in any true sense. Under the cloud of threatening war, it is humanity hanging from a cross of iron.
-The Chance for Peace speech, Dwight D. Eisenhower, April 16, 1953
How far we have fallen. But . . .
Bullshit. Please tell us who ‘Biden’s own team’ is, and what plans they had to ‘bomb Iran if he won a second term’. That article was bullshit and now you’ve embellished it and made it gospel.
Adults in government say ‘all options are on the table’ as a matter of course. It doesn’t mean they’re demented and incompetent enough to get into a shooting war with no fucking plan and that they’re incapable of sitting through a big boy briefing without video game explosion videos.
Both sides same? For fuck’s sake what the fuck is wrong with you people. You not only want to boil the ocean, you think it can be done in two years. Thinking like a child. “Class struggle” at ml voting for the boot how odd.
