Comments by "Animal Farm" (@animalfarm7467) on "From Ukraine to Yemen, US arms industry reaps the spoils of war" video.
And never forget those corporations that "supported" the military on a "cost plus" basis; where Halliburton and others (e.g. KBR) extracted around $380 billion dollars from the US taxpayer in the Iraq War since 2004. And those construction companies paid to "rebuild" the infrastructure just pocketed the money and walk away leaving a devastated nation. How the US sent $12 billion in cash to Iraq to pay contractors and just watched it vanished. Sure, most of the extortion of the American people happens through corporate subsidies (e.g. $100 billion - Oil& Gas), and the Congressional Military Industrial And Intelligence Complex, but there are a lot of other games on the side stripping wealth from the taxpayer. It won't be too long till most Americans will wake up and find themselves slaves of plutocrats in their own country; and that same military (Obama & Posse Comitatus) will be bought onto the streets to keep them in line should they complain.

@L98fiero :Correct; there is no difference: Same plutocrats that own the US and all branches of government - same strategies to achieve their imperial goals - but different faces on the puppets to sell the idea you live a democracy and you have a choice.

L98FIERO: The political parties (DNC, RNC) are corporations owned by the plutocrats and the politicians are just the puppets of the plutocrats used to cryptically convey their master's intent to the people. To maintain the illusion of democracy, each election cycle the people get to choose between fascist and fascist-lite. The mainstream media is one homogeneous propaganda machine and the whole political scene is just one big stage act with each actor (politician) playing their part. And the script being written by the plutocrats and their minions (e.g. Kissinger) and the minders of the politicians. It appears with Biden they were scraping the bottom of the barrel; couldn't they at least find a puppet whose history wasn't all lies and deception; someone that could hold a thought for more than a minute? The average voter is as dumb as toast and many still believe (Can I have a drink of water) Obama was working for their interests; but with incompetent actors like Biden, even the greater fool must eventually wake to this scam.
