[QUOTE="Frank Underwood, post: 420158, member: 35"] Yes. The US sunk hundreds of billions in weaponry during the war, and now we expect to be "paid back" in minerals and lucrative redevelopment deals. Trump took a lot of flak for saying we were in Iraq to steal the oil. However, Neera Tanden, a former adviser to Hillary Clinton and Joe Biden, was caught in a leaked email saying the same thing about Libya in 2011. We were bombing Libya at the time when Obama was President and Hillary Clinton was Secretary of State. As it turns out, both parties serve the military industrial complex. They spend billions on weaponry during the war, and then we help ourselves to the resources of the countries we're bombing. Yes, the American government's actions rarely align with the desires of the American public. Not every American is on board with our government's imperialist agenda. I thought it was empathetic to not want Ukrainians to die, but apparently, it's only a "semblance" of empathy compared to wanting them to fight and die for eternity. [/QUOTE]
