MOAB Dropped in Afghanistan

[SuburbanFarmer]

There are no targets required, other than China, Russia, Iran and North Korea, and the money is not in bandages, there's no pork in the districts keeping the bases open, based on the number of beans the US military buys, it's all about the bases, and the bases are all about the big ticket items, and the big ticket items are all about the Near Peer, not COIN.

COIN is not a profit center for the MIC, COIN is not enough pork to justify the bases in the districts, COIN actually cuts into all that, the MIC is not particularly intersted in COIN, in fact they'd be quite happy to be rid of it, so they could get back to what they really like, which is technogically based Full Spectrum Dominance in a permanent Cold War against a Sino-Russo Near Pear and associated proxies.

Nonsense. You need your stuff to get blown up, in order to replace it faster. We aren't suddenly going to get all full-spectrum budget without something to distract the proles. Iraqistan is necessary to eat up headlines and justify insane spending levels in the first place. Without that, you have people thinking dangerous things like 'peace' or realizing that we can blow up the world in 30 minutes, so it really might not make sense to spend more than the rest of the world combined on "defense".

You clearly don't need anything to be blown up to justify the MIC; as the largest MIC and associated military and base build up since the Second World War, was under Ronald Reagan from 1981-1988, and the only military operations conducted at the time, was Grenada, and one bombing raid on Libya.

That was before the Trailer Parliament got online, and some buildings fell down. Now we need 'splosions and flags. Lots of fucking flags.

Your internet America bashing talking points are about a decade out of date, the MIC has moved on, back to the Cold War future, while your Democrat/Liberal narrative seems to be stuck where it was back in 2003. /shrugs

meh. I love my country, but we have an incredible surplus of Stupid down here. I'm starting to lean towards StA's civil war narrative as a needed culling.
You really cannot believe it, until you see it up close. You think our politics are insane? hooooo-boy.

But you are a key contributor to the stupid, your intellectually lazy and at this point absurdly stale 2003 liberal talking points are as effectively stupid as anything Jerry Springer Nation ever comes up with; ergo; physician, heal thyself.

"Blah, blah, blah, Lockheed, Exxon, Trailer Park, derp, derp, derp!"; Meh. Blah-blah talking points are blah-blah talking points, just because you prefer the liberal branded blah-blah talking points, doesn't mean you're not being a useful idiot, it's just a question of which ideological camp in the American stupid are you being a usefull idiot for?

Your brand of stupid, the disaffected liberal Democrat cynic brand, is a huge component on the American stupid, who you trying to kid?
