Politics
They do not care about the suffering they cause. The aim is to win. In order to do this they deliberately target civilians. If they create such misery they will break the will of the fighters.
Their tactics:
terrify
unremitting stress
starvation
disease
casualties.
misery
thirst
So they continuously shell and barrel bomb. They deliberately bomb hospitals, water pumping stations, schools and food convoys. They use chemical warfare to induce panic. They target children.
They do not care about the children, babies or women. If they make the people suffer enough they will turn against the fighters and lose their support for war. They aim to sap their will.
Economics
Whenever there is war someone is making a killing. Desperate people give all they have for the basics of life.
In Syria the warlords are stock-piling food which they are selling at 20x its value to the starving.
Someone is selling arms to both sides.
After the Afghan war US companies were making billions on regeneration programmes. They’ve done it in Vietnam, Korea, Cambodia and Iraq.
Businessmen, politicians and warlords love war. It’s good for personal gain and the economy.
What a bunch of inhumane bastards!!
In USA, all these profit figures are added to the GNP, which in turn are used for political gains.
It’s a cycle of deceit, always pre-construed with shared back-scratching in the senate.
It manifests itself in many ways and it needn’t simply be gains made through the actions of war.
It works on a profits-to-order basis – stretching all the way from public health reform through to restoration of a stricken country.
On the home front, US senior Democrat members of the senate excel in this field of duplicity, masqueraded with the face of the public puppets such as Michele Obama, hubby, current president and Hillary Clinton.
Fingers in a disgusting blood pie.
Quite – and there’s Michele – USA’s “first lady” – drenched in the blood of the poor.
And the Republicans are not guilty too?
When were they last in power?
Bush wasn’t it? The brain of America – only bettered by Dan Quayle.
