Pentagon Green Lights Tomahawks for Ukraine, Ignoring Escalation History
Newsweek trumpets that the Pentagon has 'green-lighted' Tomahawk missile transfers to Ukraine, despite acknowledging 'nuclear tensions.' It's a classic case of selective memory for the military-industrial complex, which conveniently forgets its role in past escalations. Remember the Reagan administration funding the Mujahideen in Afghanistan? Or the arming of Iraqi forces against Iran – only for
those weapons to resurface later in less convenient hands? This isn't about peace; it's about shifting inventory and prolonging a conflict. One might wonder if the 'nuclear tensions' alert is merely for dramatic effect, or if the Pentagon genuinely believes supplying advanced weaponry to a resistance against imperialism won't push the envelope further. How many 'escalation warnings' do we need
before we realize the US playbook always leads to the next crisis?
