Give us what we want.

The U.S. can’t get enough blood, death, destruction and war. We thrive on it. Can’t imagine life without it. We’ve directly and indirectly killed millions in the Middle East, caused mass destruction and misery, meddled in Ukraine and support a fascist government killing thousands of their own citizens.

There’s a plot to all this, but nobody knows what it is. But now we have a chance to up the ante to the big leagues of death and misery.

Russia, who we’re told are evil, aggressive and our main threat, is right there in Syria for the taking. We’ve been demonizing Vladimir Putin and Russia for years now, saying how they are responsible for everything bad in the world. Well, lets just go ahead and attack full force. After all, the U.S. is so righteous and good that I’m sure God will smile upon us.

At the same time, with the evil and aggressive China in the South China Sea, quit playing around with military taunts and rhetoric. Just attack them, too. Are we all talk and no action, let proxies and “rebels” do our dirty work?

Give us World War III. Give us what we want.
