Wow. I am shocked the Yemeni military were not able to sink a US aircraft carrier moving with a group of military ships but were able to strike and cause fires on singular trade ships, shocked.

In both cases they were acting in opposition to genocide, so I hope they have better luck in the future.

I don’t need bullets; I need a CIA funded retirement in a US client state.

Yeah they made a really great game in the end. I bought it a couple years after release and loved it. I will be drooling over this one too but will be waiting for post release reviews.

I don’t think it’s quite so simple as war is good for the economy in any term. War can have loads of positive and negative effects on an economy. It seems to me the war is good for the economy idea is an American construction as military spending is the only jobs program our ruling class likes to support, and military intervention is necessary to defend western economic hegemony.

We should also be aware those effects will be experienced differently by the ruling and working classes. War can shift economic focus away from satisfying domestic needs and allow certain industries and their owners to flourish and gain influence while workers see increased austerity and reduction in rights.

Good, fuck the Canadian mineral capitalists. Does anyone know if there is pressure to nationalize Panama’s extraction industry? I didn’t see it mentioned in the article.
