    “We need meaningful de-escalation and diplomacy—not a wider war,” the lawmakers added. “Nothing in current law authorizes the United States to conduct offensive military action against Iran. We risk becoming entangled in another catastrophic war that will inevitably harm innocent civilians and may cost billions of U.S. taxpayer dollars.”

    This is what the military industrial complex is hoping for.

      The fact that anyone thought otherwise is what’s ridiculous. America is directly involved in a new or old war in every decade of it’s existence. Since the war on terror they’ve been in a constant undeclared war; drone striking somewhere in Africa or the Middle East practically every week for the last 2+ decades.

        The thing that surprises people is there’s plenty of justified war to be had in Europe, enough to keep the MIC busy for several more years yet.

        This is something else imo.

          The war in Europe puts us in conflict with a Country that could actually threaten us. When we go to war in the ME, the only victims are people in the ME.
