American military interventionism and the maintenance of a world empire have historically led to unnecessary wars and instability rather than peace.

“I'm not seeing the peace through strength. I'm saying permanent militarism and permanent war through strength.”

U.S. officials advocating for the war, such as Marco Rubio and Lindsey Graham, aim to permanently neutralize Iran as a regional power.

“The expectation is that it no longer exists permanently so that America continues to have freedom of operation in the street of war moves in the Persian Gulf.”

A potential ground invasion or protracted war in Iran would be a disastrous conflict for the United States.

“and it's a country of 90 million people. I mean, you know, Iraq was much is is much smaller was much smaller in 2003 and and is just a completely and and and was a complete debacle.”

Endless military intervention and wars serve the interests of corporate donors rather than the American people.

“When was the last time we used the military or the CIA to defend America as opposed to go get oil profits, go help Israel with their wars? Anything but us. Everything for the donors.”
