John,
As an active duty military veteran who served six years alongside soldiers of all backgrounds, I unequivocally condemn Trump’s extrajudicial killing of Gen. Soleimani.
This decision not only counters the president’s expressed pledge to stop sustained U.S. involvement in foreign wars, but it also directly endangers the lives of Iraqi, Iranian, and American civilians.
Our military industrial complex incentivizes profit over peace. Anyone looking for the true motives behind this action need look no further than the fact that, in the aftermath of this attack, Lockheed Martin's stock is up 2%, Raytheon’s is up 1.5%, and Northrop Grumman’s is up 5.45%.
Without any evidence to justify this killing, this act can lead to a war fought by the children of working class families and NOT those of the wealthy - whose interests fuel acts of imperialism and militarism by our government.
I support Sen. Sanders’ and Rep. Ro Khanna’s legislation to block Pentagon funding for unilateral actions the president takes to wage war against Iran without Congressional authorization.
The trillions of dollars spent on destabilization, regime changes, and war would be better spent on healthcare, education, housing, and combating climate change.
When is enough enough?
In solidarity, Anthony |
