Living in the UK I agree,
BUT.. it was really the corporate/state media that lied us into these wars.
But I agree, we are all at fault for voting these people in. Just that I think the state, whatever these people are, some deep state military industrial complex wanted this war, and the media colluded - again - with them.
That's why I do not trust the vaccines either, if the state media tells me to tell them, I don't need a degree to stay the fck away given their track record ON VACCINES..
That's why for years we have been brainwashed too about "vaccine spetics". Fully ignoring the long and deadly history of vaccines gone wrong.. and still going wrong.
THAT is the inconvenient truth and as long as the media tells me vaccines always work and are safe, I know for a fact - just by reading history - that they are lying through their goddamn teeth
Back to the war though.. what's even worse is that this was such an illegitimate war that it opens also legitimately the question of reparations.. my guess is that when all things are said and done this war ends up costing 3trillion, not 2.2T
And it brought us nothing. Zip. Even worse, it hurt the West.. at this point we have to assume a compromised government. You cannot be that incompetent, that wrong ON ALL ASPECTS, from economy to security to the wellbeing of your own people.. unless you are in some satanic death cult
