US President's Nobel Snub: A Perfect Excuse for More War
The question isn't if a US president will become a 'war president,' but which war they'll choose to escalate or initiate next. Trump, after all, ramped up drone strikes, withdrew from the Iran nuclear deal, and authorized missile strikes in Syria. Biden, the supposed antithesis, is now arming and funding a genocide, quietly pushing through record weapons sales to Israel, including an additional
$14.5 billion package currently in Congress. (Lest we forget, OpenSecrets.org shows AIPAC spent $4.5 million in 2022 lobbying Congress). This isn't about a Nobel snub; it's about a consistent, bipartisan policy of perpetual conflict. The awards are irrelevant. The US has been in a near-constant state of war since, well, forever. It's almost as if the military-industrial complex doesn't need
personal slights as motivation when there's profit to be made. How many more 'peace prizes' must be denied before we notice the pattern?
