The law ( the Leahy Law) requires that the US vet any foreign military receiving US arms. However, that doesn’t happen with Israel

    Like someone else said here, it funnels public money into private profits. What I do not get however is this system only furthers inequality which is going to snap the system at some point to the detriment of all, including the billionaires who will increasingly be in a hostile environment. Why shit on your own doorstep when you could make it better for all including yourself and your family. Really foolish thinking but oh well, as really, we seem absolutely committed to this dark path.

      These billionaires think they and theirs are above everything. They can kill millions without a real danger to them and theirs. Lack of fear.

      short term profits trump long term savings, none of these people can see beyond the end of the quarter

      That’s an easy answer. If you’re rich enough, you have private security and a mansion with acres of land surrounded by razor wire. You won’t feel a thing.

        Maybe if you have private security robots unconnected to the internet. Maybe they do, I don’t know.
