No surprised here that's how the bank made it's money promote war

Imagine, we capture our own energy, and stop having wars over oil. ⛽️ is the new 🚬.

That's why Americans keep creating wars.

Dayum. War is profitable, isn't it. Wow!

Now you know why we are constantly at war.

The United states may not be 1 in life expectancy, Health care, Education, Happiness or Equality of opportunity; but we are unquestionably the 1 arms dealer. P.S. Big shout out to per capita incarceration, Much love to the Prision Industrial Complex from ya boys at the MIC!!

China and Russia together have a total of 2 aircrafts carriers, the US not including their closest friends have 26 alone, then with our lapdogs UK , Australia, South Korea and Japan we have another 19.

War and weapons means jobs so we must keep it up.

Wars pay. Ask any politician, Republican or Democrat. They call it “AID”.
