“There are only two things we should fight for. One is the defense of our homes and the other is the Bill of Rights. War for any other reason is simply a racket. The trouble with America is that when the dollar only earns 6 percent over here, then it gets restless and goes overseas to get 100 percent. Then the flag follows the dollar and the soldiers follow the flag."
- U.S. Marine Major General Smedley Butler (1935)No disrespect to the fine soldiers who serve NATO but their mission is actually to protect the interests of the Petroleum industry. If it was about protecting civilians we would have been in many other African countries where hundreds of thousands have been murdered by tyrants and thugs. I wish they would just call it like it is since only complete idiots don't understand this for what it is. Most would respect us more if we just came out and said the west needs to keep those oil contracts secure and out of the hands of the Russians and Chinese who could have gained the inside track if the "protesters" had overcome the regime without Western assistance.
