People who think that they're getting anything out of wars for 'resources' are delusional. First off even if that were the case it's a morally reprehensible thing to do. If you support that than you're no different than a criminal who robs & kills people for a living. But actually wars for resources allow corporations to hoard control over the supply resources & boost the price. The war in Iraq is supposedly for oil & gas is 2-3 times higher than it was at the start of the war. Also the American economy is in the worst state it's been in in decades largely due to the hundreds of billions of dollars spent each year on the war. By design it's costing us money & only financially benefitting a select few: weapons manufacturers, oil companies, etc.

I find it strange that so many people at a cannabis forum have imperialistic views on foreign policy.
