@Nonilex How many dead or disabled troops are the USA families prepared to accept in this illegal war that’s destroying much more than The USA? Does Netenyahu act as POTUS? Is Trump and are his advisors that stupid they don’t remember the mess of Afghanistan or Iraq? None of the intended goals were met. Just more death, destruction and hate was created.
@HarriettMB @Nonilex I am not sure we will get to the point of troops although it looks like they’re thinking about it. The refineries oil fields and ports that have been destroyed so far have created and inevitable disruption to the global economy just energy and all the feed stocks that go into mineral extraction of resources used everywhere in the economy.
US weaponry is totally dependent on China it resource resources exported from guess where!

Trump is like Putin. He doesn’t care about the troops or the people. “Suckers & losers”
