Why We Really Go To War

[SpearsBritney]

Sorry for the repost, I really felt it deserved it's own thread.



All wars are fought over resources and/or territory. Ideological "reasons" are just ascribed to insight hate, and inspire support and resolve. We need certain resources (oil for example) for sustenance and economic growth. Without it, civilization as we know it would decline and eventually collapse.

The middle east is one of the most oil-dense regions in the world, and strategically stationing troops and bases there is advantageous for two reasons:
1. to secure and control oil and gas reserves
2. to prevent others from securing and controlling oil and gas reserves

Most people do not understand how essential oil is to our survival, and will not be easily persuaded into sending their sons and daughters into slaughter for it. Thus an eminent threat must be created to rally support (and more importantly, funding) for any war/operation/military draft that serves the agenda.

Enemies, threats, and attacks are then manufactured, and carried out on the unsuspecting population. Then, as the dust settles, an enemy quickly emerges to provide us with quick and sweeping "retaliation".

Our "leaders", via the stage of the corporate media, constantly provide us with an elaborate puppet show, to control and dictate what we believe, support, fear, hate, etc.

In the past, the enemy was usually a clear, definable country/population, but because of the sheer volume of territory, a new indefinable threat must be created (Al Qaeda/Islamic Extremists) to broaden the scope of this “war on terror” into any area deemed necessary (Afghanistan, Iraq, Iran, Syria, etc.).

And no, I don’t expect anyone to believe a word of this, but you never know.
