Everyday i hear of the world getting worse and worse, and yet i still don't feel the effects of it. It's as if i'm shielded away from it by a thin veil that i can see through, yet it is easily tearable at any moment.

For me that veil is a wooden wall and Seneca is within a hand's reach.

The comments about the world getting worse exist only to make the person who's saying it feel better. I applaud them sarcastically and say "Congratulations. You have figured out and you proceed to drive that point home multiple times... for over 10 years in a row." Is Deleuze right about Capitalism being a process that goes in a circle without a goal? Does that mirror the way we think?

The party engaging in the action of sanctioning delineates the specificity of the pronoun, "they", in the succeeding sentence. Clarifying the who is superfluous.
You failed to recognize this because your IQ is low as evidenced by your conclusion that the US is "always" war hungry. You assume the US is anxious for a war at all times without regard for the party but this isn't true and is just a reddit-tier "IS OIL THERE" meme; in other words, a gross over simplification. In actuality, the US has no jingoistic vae victis foreign policy, and its foreign policy interventions have zero gross benefit for its citizens. It's nothing more than a moralistic Frankenstein driven by competing "ideals" in a broad sense and in a specific sense, parties within the US seeking the exert the war machine for very specific reasons (such as a casus belli against Iran solely arrived at due to Israeli lobbying). If the US was truly intent on opportunistic war, Saudi Arabia could be mostly eradicated and plundered in a matter of weeks and it's oil resources nationalized for US use only. I'm actually astonished at how grossly incompetent the US is at utilizing it's war chest, and whenever it is deployed (at least the past 70+ years), it never benefits the nation.

And of those invasions, which ones were successful or done for a purely self-interested reason? Very little. When did the US loot and plunder a nation instead of wasting her resources engaging in nation building.
The post isn't saying to invade Iran either, idiot. Retorting and and offering Iran as juxtaposition, is non-sequitur here. The point was that the US is not does not opportunisticly attack weak countries to it's own benefit as it sees fit. If that was the case, Iraq would be mostly depopulated and gasoline less than 50 cents a gallon.

>do you know how many nations it is?
Straw man. Simpleton appeal to quantity which was not contested. It doesn't change the fact that most of these conflicts were lost or even if won, failed to yield any spoils of war.
>you think america drops bombs on children because the military has a big heart and not interests at stake?
Straw man and appeal to emotion.
>how many military bases does america have again? its the new rome...you are blind and trying to defend it because its the nation you live in
Where did I defend the actions taken? If the US was truly interested in empire building, they're doing a terrible job at it. Rome forced its client states to pay tribute. The US does not. The US provides defense and billions of dollars of aid to countries where they hold a military presence, again to no self-benefit.

>>12024965
Of benefit to small specific parties, not the nation, How did picking a fight with a tin-pot dictator (in both instances) benefit the US said for a small amount of industries and actors within the US who personally benefited. It didn't.

>us has military based in every country
Only of benefit to military logistics in the event of war. Having a physical presence without enforcing tribute or getting some other benefit out of it is meaningless and hardly a perk.
And yes, some companies profit; and again, not the nation.
>there is no 'strawman'. america has invaded countless of countries. you look stupid arguing that each case was because of america's big heart.
No. Each case is because of the the stupidity of America's politicians. Regardless, I wasn't discussing "each case", you are, and you are again turning this into a numbers game.

Conflicts where the corporate entities provoking it stand to gain seldom result in price decreases, but rather price increases. Case in point, oil prices.
Foreign policy is not waged in the US for the benefit of the nation at large. If it were, the defeated nations would be ransacked and their industries taken over, and that's going easy. The foreign theater of the US is an incompetent mess driven by competing interests, for various reasons. Most 'parliamentarians' of the US are total hacks and most presidents mere puppets and stooges for other interests. None of them have ever used the massive organ of the US military for purely opportunistic and jingoistic national self-interest in the past 100 years.
