are Israel our allies and if so why are we allied to facism
Because America is also fascist
what many people dont understand is that foreign policy isn't about morals, it's about power. capitalism too isn't about capital, its about power. that's why the capitalist class' interests often aligns with interests of fascists. when money stops securing power, the capitalists will try to maintain it by any means necessary
Lemmy just loves to use the word socialism even when it doesn’t really fit.
My duvet cover is socialism.
Your? You mean ours

I don't think you understand how war driven America is. There is a 2020 article that recorded data to show that over 244 years, only 15 of those years were spent not being in a war.

It's not the Americans that want the war. It's the American politicians that know they can't get re-elected without it.
I was more suggesting that America inserts itself into other countries conflicts sometimes with benevolent intentions, other times not so much.
Either way America never seems to see a war it doesn’t like.
It's kind of how the DoD defense plan works. Bases all over every continent so that the US can fight Russia and China from someone else's yard. It also incidentally protects those other countries.
The US never has benevolent intentions when it comes to war.
You have to find a way to finance the restocking of the ammunition depots.
Are we talking a world war, or just a war somewhere in the world?
Because one of those things we won't have a choice over. I can not want a war while still preparing for one.
I don't believe the US would be left alone in a world War, simple from all the shit we stuck our noses in in the 50s-90s, to say nothing of the last 23 years.
Nobody will attack the US first if the US does nothing.
And for oil and other natural resources too
