American hawks are pushing for a big war in the Middle East, again
Biden’s foreign policy plans to stop regional war have fallen apart. For some, that means an old wish is returning: bombing Iran.
You're viewing a single thread.
Maybe Harris and Biden want to start a war so they can benefit from a spike in approval just before the election.
Not in modern America. Americans, for good reason, have a kneejerk negative reaction to the words "war in the middle east". A war with Iran before November would seal Harris's fate.
The rally 'round the flag effect isn't dependent on people agreeing with what the president is doing.
Not sure why you would think that..
The Iraq war gave W. a 20 point boost in his approval rating, it lasted for over half a year.
But that boost came because people were still feeling the need for revenge for 9/11 three years earlier. Also there was a hell of a lot of fear mongering and out right lies about Iraq that was being reported as facts from all the media at the time. So the American citizens had been primed for war and most wanted it.
There is always a lot of fear mongering and outright lies about everywhere the US doesn't like. Congress just passed a $1.6 billion of taxpayer money bill to push anti-China propaganda. I bet you didn't read about that via, your unbiased media
Are you paying attention to the media lately? Its filled with outright lies, warmongering, and bloodthirst.
Just like the lead up to the Iraq war.
Gee, maybe something happened in the 20 years since then that changed people's opinions on endless wars in the Middle East.
i think it is more likely that the opposite would happen. Anyone with two brain cells understands that there is nothing to gain for the US from it. Maybe for the MIC but certainly not for the average American who will have to deal with high oil prices, recession and possibly his son coming back in a coffin.
US MIC getting plenty of dollars to counterweigh china's military spending. Look they probably don't mind more, but they are having hard enough trouble filling orders as it is.
You think they care about the average American?
i would hope the average American cares about himself
