Because the US taxpayer profited SO MUCH from the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan.

Someone/Some groups made a lot of money on those wars. A wild guess tells me it wasn't the majority of taxpayers. 

RTUS will ‘make a ton of money’ from Iran war – senator.

Lindsey Graham has described the ongoing conflict in the Middle East as “a good investment” 

To quote Sporanos' character Paulie Walnuts regarding Graham, "[he's]  a wormy co᧑ksucker." 

Of course if you're rah-rah bomb Iran pom-pom girls, when not long ago Graham was on your sh/t list because of his commitment for "everything for Ukraine/Zelensky", it's amusing to see you pivot so damned fast. TF is wrong with you?

Three years today: Biden's disastrous Afghanistan exit.

Breitbart: Trump Honors 13 Fallen Heroes from Afghanistan Withdrawal at Arlington.

Former President Donald Trump honored 13 fallen American service members from the Biden Administration’s disastrous Afghanistan withdrawal during a wreath-laying ceremony Monday at the Arlington Cemetery.

Trump laid the wreath and placed his hand over his heart as a bugler played Taps in honor of those lost on August 26, 2021, during a Kabul airport attack.
[.]
Trump also slammed Biden and Harris for “gross incompetence” in a statement posted on his Truth Social account. He said:

    This is the third anniversary of the BOTCHED Afghanistan withdrawal, the most EMBARRASSING moment in the history of our Country. Gross Incompetence – 13 DEAD American soldiers, hundreds of people wounded and dead, AMERICANS and BILLIONS OF DOLLARS OF MILITARY EQUIPMENT LEFT BEHIND. You don’t take our soldiers out first, you take them out LAST, when all else is successfully done. Russia then invaded Ukraine, Israel was attacked, and the USA became, and is, a laughing stock all over the World.

MSN: Taliban parades American weapons 3 years after chaotic withdrawal from Afghanistan.

The Taliban commemorated the third anniversary of the chaotic withdrawal from Afghanistan by parading through a former U.S. air base with American weapons and vehicles.

USA MacPaper: On the anniversary of US withdrawal in Afghanistan, President Biden made the right call.

Far from being a blunder, the US withdrawal from Afghanistan delivered an important counterterrorism win for America.

"...an important counterterrorism win for America."  🙄

Meanwhile, the dementia-ridden diaper wearing, 5-time draft dodging pants shitter remains in hiding. 

NY Post: Biden taking second-straight week of vacation despite insisting he'd finish presidency strong.

President Biden began his second consecutive week of vacation Monday with nothing on his public schedule for the next seven days.

Forward march, right into World War 3. Israel strikes Lebanon.

ABC (MSN): Israel-Gaza updates: Israel strikes 'deep inside' Lebanon after deadly attack.

Israel hit several Hezbollah targets in Lebanon[.]

That strike on Israel done by Hezbollah, according to others, was actually an errant and failed (or maybe intentional, who knows?) Israeli missile. I'll try to get to that story later tonight.

Any "world leaders" talking cease-fire or peace? Can't find any. Where's John "We have to meet and talk with the enemies and war provocateurs" Kerry? Probably heading to his underground bunker.

War! War! War! 



This genocidal maniac really does want to rule the world.

Who the hell does Netanyahu think he is to unilaterally call for NATO to expel Turkey? The hubris. The Chutzpah. The arrogance. A war criminal who, along wth his Knesset and military supporters, should be apprehended and tried by The Hague.

Where is the anti-war crowd? They never stopped protesting during W. Bush-Cheney tenure. Then they STFU during Obama-Biden as drone after drone killed civilians. 

Erdogan doesn't say things he doesn't mean. People in power should pause and listen to him, but they won't. Their agenda is WW3 at any and all costs. Diplomacy be damned.

Meanwhile, cuck Blinken is busy threatening China. That's some admirable foreign policy, isn't it?

De-escalation? It's an unfamiliar and forgotten concept by the Neocons, RINOs and UniParty all of whom are hellbent on WW3.

Where are these people now? Did they disappear?

Why are they silent on the U.S. funding WAR in Ukraine? Where are the protests? Where is the "no-sanctions" crowd? They never failed to show up in the past. What's different this time? 

Silence = complicity. The Left always loved war, they're just now brave enough to openly admit it. War during a Dem Admin is fine. Can't happen during a Repub Admin, though.

Biden to deploy troops to Somalia.

Politico: Biden escalates the forever war in Somalia.

Joe Biden plans to deploy 500 troops to Somalia to fight al-Shabab, escalating America’s long-term counterterrorism mission in the East African nation without defining a clear exit plan.

Two hours after The New York Times’ CHARLIE SAVAGE and ERIC SCHMITT reported on the decision, a senior administration official told journalists the troops will help train Somali forces and offer intelligence support, but the ultimate goal is “to try to dislodge Shabab from what is a significant amount of territory that it at least purports to govern and hold.”

Financial Times (Archived): US to establish ‘persistent’ military presence in Somalia.

Peter Pham, a former senior US official in Africa and distinguished fellow at the Atlantic Council, said he was not convinced of the case for a US military presence in Somalia. He cautioned against an open-ended commitment, saying the country was not a reliable partner.

The US, Pham added, must have clear objectives and a thorough plan to meet them. “Just because the Somalis have had an election process over the weekend marred by lack of popular participation and with a great deal of vote-buying and have replaced a leader utterly unacceptable to the western community with one who is marginally better, doesn’t mean the conditions exist to have a successful partnership,” he said.

U.S. Troops are there to just "help train" Somali forces. Uh huh. Because this style of strategy worked out so well for the U.S. in Afghanistan and Iraq.

The "No More Forever Wars" crowd is, unsurprisingly, silent. I don't see them occupying freeway bridges or marching through cities with their usual unfurled "NO MORE WARS" signs.
