"The Trillion Dollar War Machine": William Hartung on DoD Funding, Israel, Tariffs & More

Democracy Now! speaks to William Hartung about his new book "The Trillion Dollar War Machine” and who profits from the United States’ runaway military spending that fuels foreign wars. Hartung says that U.S. policy is “based on profit” and calls for a rethinking of our foreign entanglements. “We haven't won a war in this century. We've caused immense harm. We've spent $8 trillion,” he says.

That's why all the hit and run whining while you never actually post any substantive criticism of Democracy Now's coverage on any story, article or issue because you can't.

You just don't want other people exposed to the truth, and I believe that's because it's only "Israel First" with you.

That mentality has really worked out well, that's why current U.S "leadership" leader of the free world backs cold blooded murder on International waters, while kidnapping people here at home with no due process and sending them off to be tortured in El Salvador.

The values that we we support abroad will inevitably come home.
