As long as its not your house or your relative's thats being leveled by a drone strike, why should one care? This is a thread exclusive to antiwar voices.

Apathy, in this instance, can be fatal.

The words to this song fit here perfectly

Good topic Karly. 1000s of innocents die in designated countries and zero coverage
Here are slides of the 20 companies that profit most from war....
Military spending: 20 companies profiting the most from war

"The United States is home to five of the world’s 10 largest defense contractors, and American companies account for 57 percent of total arms sales by the world’s 100 largest defense contractors, based on SIPRI data."

Just realized @UnderAlienControl had already posted this info elsewhere. Good on ya UAC you are always ahead of the curve.

One such voice has been Tony Farrell, a former police intelligence analyst and whistle-blower over the bogus terror threat construct.

Blackwater's Erik Prince: Iraq, privatising wars and Trump

In this episode of Head to Head, Mehdi Hasan challenges Erik Prince, the founder and former CEO of Blackwater, on his security firm's performance during the Iraq war, the "exit strategy" he's proposing for the war in Afghanistan, and his support for US President Donald Trump.

During the early years of the Bush administration's so-called "war on terror", Blackwater grew into one of the most profitable private military contractors in the US. Over the years, it received over a billion dollars worth of government contracts to provide security to top US officials, train members of the Iraqi army and police, and support the US Drug Enforcement Agency (DEA) and Department of Defense's counternarcotics programme in Afghanistan.

We are joined by a panel of three experts:

• Sean McFate, a former private military contractor, ex-officer in the US army, and author of The New Rules of War
• Ghaith Abdul-Ahad, an award-winning journalist with the Guardian from Iraq who has covered conflicts in Iraq, Afghanistan, Yemen and beyond
• Tim Collins, a former commander in the British Army and cofounder of the private military consulting company, New Century

Mehdi Hassan doesn't disappoint. Excellent interview! For me, it reaffirmed the fact that war will never cease, especially in the ME, because it isn't in the interest of people like Erik Prince, i mean that's how they get rich.
