The merchants of death are frantic for a major war. They have been maneuvering for a NATO-Russian war for nearly ten years but Putin keeps out maneuvering them. So I guess Syria is to be their intermediate money maker. That BTW, to answer Tucker’s question, is the “American” interest in a war in Syria. The merchants of death make money at both ends of a war. They sell the instruments of destruction and then are the one who rebuild after the destruction. Since many of them are also social Darwinist, thinning out the herd also appeals to them. After all, they are actually doing humanity a favor by toughening up the race, right? My prayer is that this does not spill over on us.
