Trump Wants Peace, US Actions Prefer War Profits
The mainstream media covers Iran's skepticism of Trump's 'peace' rhetoric, noting Tehran's frustration with mixed signals. What they often gloss over is the consistent pattern: US policy, under various administrations, has cycled between demanding peace and imposing crippling sanctions, all while approving massive arms deals to regional players. For example, during Trump's term, his administration
approved billions in arms sales to Gulf allies, like the $23.37 billion package to the UAE in 2020 (source: Defense News), directly fueling regional tensions. It's almost as if 'diplomacy' always comes hand-in-hand with lucrative contracts for the military-industrial complex. One might call it a peculiar form of 'peace building,' where the primary beneficiaries are defense contractors and their
well-funded lobbyists in Washington. How many 'peace' overtures precede another multi-billion dollar arms shipment?
