After lying for over a decade about Ukraine, the Times now graces us with a pseudo-intellectual explanation of how the US elite and CIA constructed, fueled and guided this proxy war with Russia. Not a single neocon is mentioned in their shady mea culpa, nor does the Times own their part selling another Congressionally unauthorized war against a nuclear armed power. In a nutshell, this is the story of US foreign policy for over 70 years.
Congress cheers the smooth diversion of defense profiteering from Afghanistan to Ukraine, and now from Ukraine to Gaza, Yemen, and Iran. Sun Tzu may not have said “follow the money,” but he did say “there is no instance of a nation benefiting from prolonged warfare.” Government media like the Times can see this in Ukraine, but refuses to acknowledge how 70 years of non-stop conflict, war and proxy war has destroyed the Constitution and impoverished the United States.
In the business world, a loss leader is a portfolio product that is subsidized and sold below cost, in order to increase brand popularity, loyal customers, and more profit overall. After Trump deals with other planned spinoffs, efficiencies and cutbacks, Israel will remain the lone overseas loss leader for the United States – a loss leader that is failing to increase US global popularity, loyal allies, and profit. The Zionist state is an ever-expanding, apartheid, genocidal, land-stealing entity in a permanent and destructive war. The more we subsidize it, the more money, market share, and respect for the American brand we lose. As time reduces the transactional relationship between Trump the politician and his biggest pro-Israel donors, what can, and what will, Israel’s government do to avoid its performance review, and the chopping block?
Trump may be on a workable path in openly viewing the US “republic” as a US corporation. As he constructs his golden global legacy, he might wish to consider another bit of Sun Tzu wisdom. “The wheels of justice turn slowly, but grind exceedingly fine.”
