The message is: We're assholes you should hate, so hate us.

Not a particularly useful message.

First line is very true, it's exactly that

However I disagree with the second line; it is useful, it helps keeping the wars and conflicts going, and in turn it's good for the "defense" industry... It creates a demand

Racket

War is a racket, remember? There isn't only the looting aspect of war, when the winner takes all

You have the protection aspect, the protection racket; pay us or you'll get bombed, by us or somebody else... That we just happen to have pissed off to no end...

Are we declared at war with Syria? Why the actual fuck can we not control the overt aggression of our military and supporting industrial complex from such actions? The military should have 2 jobs, defense of the county it belongs to, and offense against countries attacking our country.

Officially, that's called "kinetic actions"

It's not war unless congress says so

"Funny how that works, uh?"

Hmmm, soldiers or guided weapons into a different sovereign country. Yup, that’s war. The tribe and their constant changing of definitions needs to be held accountable for their shananigans.

Oh, if we start holding politicians accountable then nothing is ever going to get done... You know...

Well, "maybe" that's exactly what's required, so they stop doing anything... I think that, would at least, be a good start, and certainly an improvement
