That’s basically EXACTLY what Hasan Piker said.

Every dollar spend on a bomb is a dollar not going to your healthcare or child’s education.

Joe Plenzler's avatar

That is precisely correct. Look at how China invests in their infrastructure compared to the US. And the DOD want's $1.5T for defense in next year's budget? Insane.

Brian Russ's avatar

It’s important to remember that the DOD has never once passed an audit. We have no idea where that money is going. It is a cesspool of corruption. That can’t properly house feed or pay our soldiers, sailors, and marines.

Please tell me why are we supporting a country that is committing genocide. Are we reliving Germany?

Terry's avatar

I don't support the USA, even though I live here. That's all the trump regime does, commit genocide. Off the coast of Venezuela, Iran, Yemen, Somalia, Iraq, Syria, Nigeria....and other countries the DoD doesn't tell us about. He wants to forcibly take over Greenland, Cuba.

Elect them all out. Money in politics has caused all of this insanity.

Seems as though we are doing exactly that doesn't it.

“We the people” are being held hostage by a Trumpian choice of war without the consent of Congress. Making this worse, Hegseth is directing war crimes. If we were part of ICC, they would be prosecuted for war crimes in the Caribbean as well as in Iran. I agree that Trump analogized Iran being like Venezuela.

Dismantle, publisize the 2025 Doctrine.

Probably too late. Much of it is already embedded in U.S. policy and it will be nearly impossible to reverse without a significant regime change. "Significant" means almost no Republicans in Congress. Not likely...

Thank you both for a very important and useful show!

Thank you so much for watching.

The far more important war is behind the scenes. It's the war for the de facto international currency, and we're losing the position we've held for decades. My colleagues in Switzerland, who handle investments for "high rollers," are gradually moving investments made in U.S. dollars into investments made in Chinese Yen because the U.S. can no longer be trusted. If international trade abandons the dollar, the interest on our accumulated national debt will destroy the country. Yes, the oligarchs will survive, but the rest of us will starve to death. Sometime before we reach that point, some form of revolution is likely. We are no match for our own military, so the revolution will take some other form, probably following the Ukraine and utilizing drones to attack from a distance. Canada is increasingly looking like a very pleasant refuge, but will probably be drawn into the chaos.

Will our armed forces fire on our own citizens?

Roger Loeb's avatar

Good question! With an idiot like Hegseth in charge, possibly. A lot would depend upon how the "revolution" is described in the press and on TV. In the current confusion, if the citizens were called "antifa," quite possibly. If an organization such as the Proud Boys was recruited to make the initial forays, the possibility goes way up.

Robert Stiehl's avatar

yes

Dawn's avatar

The basic problem is that the Hegseth/Trump foreign policy lacks any real form of diplomacy. They fired all of the knowledgeable diplomats. Imho, it is a deplorable foreign policy based upon the inappropriate use of our military and very expensive bombs. This Trumpian administration that LIKES war; Trump even outed Hegseth as a war monger.

Mike Hager's avatar

Why no media coverage of US continuing support of Israel’s genocide in Gaza?

Liga H's avatar

BECAUSE we have a narcissistic, vengeful, man baby, (who failed in his first term) in charge and he wants revemge for HIS FAILURE the first time through.

Let me add to this dystopian possibility: the water. Unchecked Data centers using, polluting and destroying water systems for millions beyond on the verge of .

The Iranians are watching our oil market. They know what's going on. Our reserves are going to be depleted very shown and starting the end of next week we may start hearing about some changes we will hear about.

I Love You Cheeto!: A Case For Disbarment

Todd Blanche has worked overtime to get into Cheeto’s good graces. He’s been loyal to him all the way through his civil trials, felonies and rape charges defended unsuccessfully. After Cheeto got rid of Bondi, he put his loyalist Blanche into Bondi’s position as acting AG. Cheeto told Blanche in nominating him, “Don’t fuck this up like Bondi did”. So Blanche has his marching orders.

Unfortunately for Blanche, he has to be confirmed now with 18m of legal baggage as Deputy AG doing Bondi’s bidding. From the lack of public interviews with Maxwell to the hiding of half of the Epstein files to creating the “slush fund” for Cheeto to pay off the J6 rioters.

What gives cover for all of this corruption in Cheeto’s regime including the AG and all his secretaries, is that Cheeto more than likely either told them privately or by action, that there will be a blanket pardon for all those in the regime. Fortunately for WE the People if WE want expressed retribution Todd Blanche even if pardoned doesn’t prevent him from being disbarred, like infamous loyalists Rudy Guiliani, Ken Chesebro, John Eastman, Michael Cohen, and Jenna Ellis(https://bit.ly/4dSBb5u)

Will Todd Blanche join the above elite list with a group of DOJ lawyers? Let’s hope.

When are you folks gonna get it, the word woke doesn’t apply to you because you haven’t awakened yet. This is a race war with frightened racists.

Roger Loeb's avatar

It's much more than a race war. It's a war for the control of our government. Citizens United, which was decided based on a false premise, sold our government to the highest bidder. Getting it back may not be possible. The "race war" is just a distraction so that we don't notice who stole our government.

Dawn's avatar

It is a federal government controlled by PIRATES that want to rape and pillage to their stone cold hearts delight.
