War

As the settlement of the war in Ukraine becomes a possibility it is time to look ahead to the potential war in Iran. A brief look back in time is warranted. Recall the lies that Johnson told about Vietnam especially as were revealed in the Pentagon Papers. Follow this up with the WMD reason for going to war in Iraq. Next is why did the war in Ukraine start. Understand that Russia wanted a peaceful existence with the West after the fall of the Soviet Union but the US refused. When you see another $10 billion released to support Ukraine understand that means a $10 billion dollar purchase of military equipment from US defense contractors. Be mindful of the Act passed in 1998. The Act declared that it was the Policy of the United States to support "regime change." The Act was passed 360–38 in the U.S. House of Representatives and by unanimous consent in the Senate. US President Bill Clinton signed the bill into law on October 31, 1998. The law's stated purpose was: "to establish a program to support a transition to democracy in Iraq." Just change the name Iraq to Iran and the government has permission to go.
