This map is not about “American” troops – the American people have no defense – all this fighting is so the billionaires can steal more of what does not belong to them.
Hello. I have seen your comment and I would like to point out that this is not entirely true. Yes, this fighting can be avoided but the men and women stationed at these locations are risking their lives to help the people back home sleep better at night. To keep their friends family and nation stay safe. This isn’t billionaires trying to steal. It’s people giving blood for the United States, because they believe in a brighter future.
Yup, the war machine is in the interest of the wealthy. Our natural resources have propped the country up for a while but its completely unsustainable and is why our infrastructure and social progress is imploding
