tcr. War also breeds support for the government among proles, and serves as a distraction. Ex-government types often go into MIC jobs, so this basically ensures that those will be there when they're out.

Of all the enemies to public liberty war is, perhaps, the most to be dreaded, because it comprises and develops the germ of every other. War is the parent of armies; from these proceed debts and taxes; and armies, and debts, and taxes are the known instruments for bringing the many under the domination of the few. In war, too, the discretionary power of the Executive is extended; its influence in dealing out offices, honors, and emoluments is multiplied; and all the means of seducing the minds, are added to those of subduing the force, of the people. The same malignant aspect in republicanism may be traced in the inequality of fortunes, and the opportunities of fraud, growing out of a state of war, and in the degeneracy of manners and of morals engendered by both. No nation could preserve its freedom in the midst of continual warfare.

–James Madison, Political Observations, Apr. 20, 1795 in: Letters and Other Writings of James Madison, vol. 4, p. 491 (1865)

So it's just a naked ploy for money by defense contractors and their boosters? I can see that's a contributor, but I kinda doubt that applies to most members of the foreign policy blob.

Most of these people are career bureaucrats and diplomats. What do they gain by having a rabid compulsion to go to war?

Sclerotic old faggots who want to feel 'important', have no other outlet; also money.

When ppl have prestige/ego tied up in some function, they want to exercise that function.

Same reason cops love to shoot their little tazars/guns at anything that moves.

The gross hypocrisy is that they never put themselves in harm's way.

a lot of the kristol-style neocons are of a certain age - their education/early careers were in the 70's, while their initial rise to prominence came under reagan. and this is where their views crystallized - it is always 1981, and america's enemies are always some species of USSR.

it's important to understand that they have basically NO CONCEPTION of what the US looks like or its social mood or its demographic composition today - they aren't concerned with that. they want to implement their grand strategies at any cost.

it's also important to understand that these people DO NOT see the 2003 iraq war as a failure. they see it as a stage within a larger war. syria is another stage; iran will be another. perhaps lebanon if the IDF gets tangled up in there again.

they also belong, for the most part, to the "money is fake bullshit numbers in computers" school of economics, which is why they feel no compunction about spending trillions on these grand projects. and to the extent that money is more than that, they are willing to gut domestic spending to keep their plans financed.

basically, they don't care about "america" per se; they mostly just want to use it like a cumrag, and they become very agitated and upset when their cumrag tries to protest its usage.

they are exceedingly cynical. i will bet you that when trump won, despite their misgivings, they were very excited about the possibilities for getting white people/trump voters back on-board with foreign wars, which they had been more reluctant to support under obama.

i don't think it's going to work like that THIS time, due to simple exhaustion and a demand for domestic reforms rather than yet more foreign adventuring, but the neocons are not concerned with that - to them, that's trump's problem, and they will gleefully sacrifice him and move on to the next target if their programs expend all his political capital.

it's one of the very basic lessons that any observer should be able to take from a quick glance at bush's demise - the neocons view everyone around them as tools or potential tools. if you're not a tool, you're an enemy.

but if you ARE a tool, they will abuse you until you break, and then they will yell at you for breaking.

Yes.

I honestly hope the angry Trumpists/dissidents -- whose support of Trump marked a revolt against this neocon nonsense -- now turn and violently revolt against Trump himself.

More and more, I'm seeing Trump an abortive 'dry run', leading to the coming of the TRUE Nationalist messiah.

The sooner we get ABSOLUTE CLARITY on this issue, the better.

if trump is legitimately dumb/manipulable enough to start enacting neocon plans, then there's not a lot of hope for him, since those plans are so abjectly adverse to america's national priorities/well-being that there is simply no reason they should even be under consideration.

if - we still have to see what actually happens.

Entropy principle- in order for there to be domestic order international chaos is the policy- goes for any country, man, woman or child. Where there is a hurricane implies calm on another part of the earth. Hairy ball theorem yw

From the greed side, it's the MIC.

This thread has ignored the international political power motivation. There is a constant positioning for hegemony among the great powers. Bros like Cheney weren't pushing to overthrow Saddam to help Halliburton's stock price. They were doing it because they thought it was a crucial piece of long-term strategic US power to have a US-friendly oil rich regime in that part of the world and eliminate one who might otherwise eventually ally with Russia or China.

It's why diplomats give two shits about a shithold like Syria ... If the US walks away, we cede control to Russia of a country with a shitload of strategic value (borders with Turkey, Iraq, and Israel, access to Mediterranean, oil, etc)

it's so cute when you guys try to distill a topic with so many layers into a nice, neat sentence or two. i mean sure we can blame it on neocons. but has every American administration been a neocon one? no. and yet we've continually been engaged in conflicts all over the world since our country's inception. btw, how do you think we became the wealthiest nation in the world? bootstraps? lol

I honestly think it's because of how the subject is discussed academically. Every piece of shit INTERNATIONAL RELATIONS major I know is either a right wing hawk or a left wing hawk who is a sneaky piece of shit about it. Also, all of these people believe democracy is flawed and milquetoast UMC jerkoffs should be the only people allowed to vote.

"Also, all of these people believe democracy is flawed and we should be ruled by Asian Jews."

try asking them if we should have IQ requirements to vote.

Have you seen how much money we spend on our military? You think we're gonna have the nicest, shiniest, baddest motherfuckin military the world has ever seen, one big enough to fight wars on multiple fronts, a military that is so big and bad that it could hold its own against the militaries of every other country, friend and foe, at the same time. You think we're not gonna make use of that?
