Every day we have more and more reasons to stop financing states and to start keeping our money, real money, away from them.
Israel is a huge arms buyer šŸ¤·šŸ¼ā€ā™‚ļø plus they also give the US a ton of tech as well it’s a huge win for the US especially cause they aren’t putting US boots on the ground

Two mafia groups doing business, funding all this war and suffering through their fiat.

That’s not how a mafia works but sure if that makes you feel better. It’s interesting to ignore the well paying manufacturing jobs that are created by this. Then you throw in the engineers and the innovation and sure you can ignore the clear and easy facts to get to your narrow view
reply
Coercion, taxation, use of force, shady deals, violence… it all sounds a lot like how a mafia operates to me. The difference is that the state mafia swallows up the smaller ones.
My view isn’t narrow, it’s objective. I don’t want — and I never authorized — any system to steal the fruits of my labor to fund wars that keep the theft machine running. That’s why I’m on the path to getting out of this madness.

Use of force? Violence? Coercion? From a defense company? I’m not seeing that in DC unless it’s the homeless. Taxation from a defense company? So your argument does right off the bat with the rules you set up šŸ˜‚

When did the topic become defense companies if from the beginning the post and my response were about governments at war?
While we’re at it, defense companies that fight these wars are nothing more than henchmen.
A phrase I really like to say whenever I see a laughing emoji: ā€œMocking laughter is a bitch’s argument.ā€
Indeed

Plus they buy off massive numbers of US political figures...

And if they can't buy them off, they blackmail them.

Israel? Man China is so so so much worse it’s insane. They recruit active people in offices no one does that
reply
Seriously? You have to be aware. I'm not saying they are worse or better just that they influence politicians. They primary people. I know other groups do the same stuff including China. But China isn't attacking another country right now. Israel is.
They recruit active people in offices no one does that
lol, sure. They are the only ones...

Super PAC money is one thing and honestly the fact you can identify Israeli influence tells you how they are not hiding it. The Saudi’s who you never hear of is a much more concerning thing because… you don’t hear about them.
Last Congress a Scheduler for a Dem member was identified and arrested for being recruited by the Chinese and trying to turn additional staff to the Chinese. It was a huge issue and an enormous mess on staffers like myself who never met the person.

Israel has massive support from conservative Christians but the Super PAC pressure is massive. I don't care how open they are about it as you say. Most people have no clue even so. Every time I mention to people I know they are surprised.
Like I said, I am not saying they are worse, they just have massive influence and many Americans have no clue. They also don't know about the influences you describe.
