Trump Urges Peace, While Biden Funds Perpetual War
While such advice is framed by the corporate media as an unthinkable betrayal, it raises an uncomfortable question: when exactly did advocating for a negotiated end to devastating conflict become a radical notion? Perhaps when the US defense industry's stock prices depend on the fighting continuing. The Biden administration, lauded for 'supporting' Ukraine, just authorized another $300 million in
military aid, bringing the total to untold billions, ensuring the war grinds on. Funny how 'peace' is only palatable when it doesn't interrupt the military-industrial complex's quarterly reports. One might wonder if the Financial Times would be quite so scandalized by 'accepting terms' if those terms meant more Lockheed Martin contracts instead of fewer deaths. After all, what’s a few hundred
thousand Ukrainian and Russian lives when there's an investment portfolio to consider?
