It's about oil and weapons

and the formula is a familiar one:

1. Demanding more money from NATO nations=more purchases of US weapons/systems=more profits for weapons manufacturers=more money for GQP donors=more money donated to the fascist GQP/more grift for Crumb The 1st and his cronies.

2. Attacking Venezuela=control of oil/need to restock weapons=more profits for weapons manufacturers/more oil profits=more money for GQP donors=more money donated to the fascist GQP/more grift for Crumb The 1st and his cronies.

3. Attacking Iran...................................Does anybody think the basic formula is any different?

Yes it's also about Epstein distraction etc. but the basic formula has been obvious for a long time.

So the cash register keeps ringing and the slaughter is excused away.

How did that happen? Benjamin Netanyahu is a psychopath who should be in prison for genocide.
