Money and sovereign state don't ever go hand in hand in Washington for the industrial military apparatus

This terrible conflict would end the first 24 hours the US administration stops shipping lethal weapons to Israel. Over $20 billions (officially) since January 2024. The same country, an ally of Japan, which accuses China of "bullying" and "threats" in Asia.

Blinken telling Rutte to rump up cash before signing off as the worst SoS in the last 100 years. This what America can offer

Another US ally down, and South Korean seem to celebrate big time. No surprises there

Washington's lobbies are already in a panic mode about the last weapons order they placed couple of weeks ago in Seul for $6,2 billions of weapons. Will it be still valid?

Not surprising the guy was the best friend of the current US administration.

Last time I’ve checked he was singing American Pie at a US state dinner with Joe Biden:

At the end of the day who will (try) to make the final decision is the big US military industrial complex, as usual. Too many interests for the usual Wall Street lobbies. They are the ones who started this conflict, and until they procure another regular stream of income (Ukraine was around $102 billions supply of weapons), they will not allow President elect Trump to go anywhere. And don’t forget the $6,2 billions order in South Korea for F-15K which now is a question mark. Washington is a panic mode already.

China is too smart for the current and future US administration.

Hopefully Trump will do exactly what is says: build a wall all around his own country, and we will see less American informants outside instigating conflicts and wars.

Asia welcomes China because China is part of Asia, that would be the starting point of any conversation.

Hey where are all the JT regular posters…

They are trying to regroup. Need to hear from the Pentagon the official stance. You don’t want to mess with the US lobbies, check the Boeing stock after the potential sale to South Korea of F-15K aircrafts upgrade for $6,2 billions. That explains a lot about the role of Washington in the conflicts of Eastern Europe and Middle East

Once again the warmongering of US military industrial complex trying to destabilize another area. 

Funny that the article refers to the controversial US military base in Syria, Al-Tanf as a “gas field in the area”

So typical of Netanyahu's regime,  Israel has breached its ceasefire agreement and now they want to convince the world of the opposite.

We are watching a genocide in real time, with children and women being shredded. A war of annihilation against the Palestinians after 76 years of apartheid, colonialism, and mass killing.

Nearly 70% of Gaza war dead are women and children, UN says, and yet the US administration find it difficult to stop the present shipping campaign to Israel, with almost $20 billion in arm sales this year alone

I bet Army Generals in Washington are alarmed about the last order they placed in Seul for $6,2 billions of weapons. Will it be still valid?

The whole vicissitude shows the depth of American politics

We have been hearing this story of Russian economy collapsing, and still is stronger than ever, as opposed to US real war economy. Funny how some people still try to associate morality to Washington. 

There is nothing moral about Wall  Street records while hundred thousand people are dying in Gaza and Ukraine

The population of Gaza grew 2% in 2023.

This statement tells you a lot about the depth of the contest. This is how Netanyahu’s regime is recruiting people, to feed the Israeli propaganda. People with no knowledge spreading what the military tells them to write. No dignity, no morals

What is going on in Gaza is the most documented genocide in history, conducted by the Israel IDF with the support of the US administration providing billions of dollars of weapons. 

And Wall Street, with the S&P 500 and the Nasdaq Composite yesterday rose to new records.

The heart and soul of American politics driven by the usual US lobbies

What is going on in Gaza is the most documented genocide in history, conducted by the Israel IDF with the support of the US administration providing billions of dollars of weapons. 

Palestinians are being intentionally massacred, starved, and stripped of everything needed to sustain human life. 

And Wall Street, with the S&P 500 and the Nasdaq Composite rose to new records.

The heart and soul of American politics driven by the usual US lobbies

We need to show strength

This is what we have shown so far, what you call deterrence: over $110 billions worth of weapons in Ukraine and Israel, provided by US, and few dozens more to Japan, South Korea, Taiwan. And look where we are now. We need dialogue and diplomacy, not warmongering by Washington

Yawn..,

You are right, let’s talk about Shohei Ohtani or Captain Marvel :)

There are people dying in Gaza and Lebanon through the same use of US war airplanes employed by Israel and bought by Japan, at the expenses of perhaps your employer tax contributions. Money which could go to daily care and assistance to needy people. And instead goes to Wall Street and the US hedge funds

The definition of US mercenaries, gloating on the death and violence they caused in Middle East and Ukraine as we speak. 

The top 5 weapons manufacturers in the world, all American :

Lockheed Martin Corp

Raytheon Technologies

Northrop Grumman Corp

Boeing

General Dynamics Corp

CPowell

You're right: they need nukes. Let's see you get behind that.

Says the US administration which is defending the impunity of the State of Israel. after 44.000 children and women killed by Washington. No moral authority. Keep spending time defending the indefensible.

“Every statement I make today is backed up by sources, solid sources. These are not assertions”.

The usual mercenaries inside the US administration trying to help themselves, less than two months before they check out, to the expenses of naive Japanese tax payers. The same US industrial military complex which has already caused hundreds of thousands of deaths in Ukraine and Gaza, and their big apparatus specialized in "warmongering"

As we all know the United States played a key role in generating and perpetuating this terrible conflict in Ukraine. 

The only reason the US administration intervened in Ukraine was for its sole and exclusive economic interests, not out of solidarity with the local people or spirit of generosity. The rise of US financial stock market is evidence of that. 

Their main goal was to weaken Russia, which they see as a threat, by disrupting the strong trade relations between Moscow and Berlin, and the economic links between Russia and Europe. It is obvious they miscalculated. 

To start selling LNG from Texas, produced from fracking, three times the price of Russian gas. 

Huge financial support to the arms industry, to the tune of hundreds of billions dollars, since the world's top five arms manufacturers are American. 

Laying the groundwork for the reconstruction process. Zelensky himself has already talked about deals in the making with Blackrock, Goldman Sachs and the major US companies.

If there had been no decision in April 2008 to expand Nato into Ukraine the situation in Europe today and the situation regarding the European Russia relations would look fundamentally different and we would have a peaceful Europe. The catastrophic decision by George W. Bush and Condolezza Rice to expand Nato was totally ill conceived

Putin could deflate those Wall Street bankers and save Ukraine lives*

Russia has done so time and time again. Read history books, not just the American military dispatches or Social Media narrative. 

Check the trail of George W. Bush and Condoleezza Rice, the real facts about the democratic elected President Yanukovych's and the Euomaidan protests supported by US secret agents.

We keep repeating the same things all over again.

Economic investments by American companies for centuries have always led to wars all over the globe. 

Putin today is just a pawn of Washington to achieve their results. This time they did not work out the consequences though. Asia does not need the warmongering which is the heart and soul of American spirit.

There should be no reward for animal behavior.

That’s right. All those American Wall Street bankers, hoping their government would keep foraging billions and billions of dollars in weapons orders, while hundreds of thousands Ukrainian soldiers are dying. A reminder that the top 5 arms manufacturers in the world are all Americans and US financial markets are on all time high. Lifestyles by the pool as opposed to death on the battlefield. It’s a shame it ain’t a Hollywood movie but for sure it’s made in America

I can sense a bit of panic mode here :)

All those US investors trying to spread the Washington prop about how “morally right” is to sell another bunch of weapons to Taiwan for the sake of deterrence and then a likely war down the line. Yeah right! It is like learning from Americans how to cook or eat properly. Asia does no need warmongers = America

Asia welcomes China because China is part of Asia, that would be the starting point of any conversation.

Funny how those US mercenaries, with less than two months to go, and being as irrelevant as ever, (see Austin, Blinken) trying hard to get a paycheck on those hedge funds boardroom, approving all sorts of arms orders. It does not matter the hundreds thousand deaths their decisions caused in Ukraine and Middle East already. They symbolize the heart and soul of Washington

So what was the problem?

This sentence sums up the essence and ethical values of the same individual.

There is an ongoing genocide while the US financial markets are on all time high (the White House has provided $20 billions of weapons in 2024 to flatten Gaza and kill 44.000 people, 70% of which are innocent people).

And yet the US American investor like to use their favorite word: "deterrence".

Hence the above explanation: "Since The House Is On Fire, Let Us Warm Ourselves".

I have to remind these warfare experts that Israel'IDF has completely warded off Gaza: the Netanyahu's regime does not allow any journalist of foreign media to enter Gaza. Unless you are embedded with the Israeli troops. That is unprecedented in any previous war, says Syria or Iraq.

And yet people are claiming they know the truth, the real truth of the conflict.

That's what usually happens when militants delliberately embed themselves

And there you are, the reason why, because of these usual suspects, theta is no solution to the mass killing of Palestinians. A reminder that 70% of the 44.000 deaths are innocent children and women, the UN says.

And yet the logic of Wall Street is prevailing: "Since The House Is On Fire, Let Us Warm Ourselves". US lobbies once again decide the warmongering politics of the US administration.

The US administration is so compassionate and generous with countries like Ukraine, Israel, Taiwan. All these billions of dollars of useful weapons, creating “deterrence”, no economic interest, they even give you ‘their’ history lessons
