US Officials Warn of War While Approving More Weapons
Mainstream outlets, including RT now, are echoing the drumbeat: an Iran-Israel war is 'just a matter of time.' This echoes a familiar refrain from figures like Benjamin Netanyahu, who has warned of imminent Iranian threats since at least 1992, famously presenting a cartoon bomb graphic at the UN in 2012. Meanwhile, the US continues to funnel billions in military aid, with Congress routinely
passing bills like HR 815, providing additional military funding to Israel. This cycle isn't just about 'security'; it's about escalating rhetoric paving the way for lucrative defense contracts. One might wonder if these 'inevitable' wars are less about genuine threats and more about ensuring a healthy bottom line for Lockheed Martin and Raytheon. After all, what's a little regional instability
when there's a fresh batch of F-35s to sell? The Pentagon's budget, pushed by politicians with deep ties to the defense lobby, seems less concerned with de-escalation and more with keeping the conveyor belt of conflict moving. It's a miracle how these 'unavoidable' wars always seem to coincide with quarterly earnings reports.
