The military-industrial complex is hungry. Those two are working hard to line their pockets by feeding it.

this answer is the most logical

​

greed corruption fear anxiety

all forms of human nature

this is simply just humans being humans

the humans that are caring,giving, show empathy and overall want all to live happy only react when they need to

this creates a cycle of allowing X humans to do Y and the actual humans that will keep us alive react to do Z

its not an equal or bigger force then humans that are not for humanity but for self preservation

thus the scales remain tipped

This may be a hot take for some, but I consider Eisenhower one of our most visionary presidents our country has ever elected into office.

I think he was last president of those who have been elected that history will consider “good.”

I had always been hesitant of former high-ranking military officers serving as president until I read more about Eisenhower

BAE, United Technologies, Portsmouth Naval Shipyard. Three “constituencies” that Kuster and Pappas protect. Even-if none are in Syria, it’s a quid pro quo for later support from other representatives.
