ISIS Seizes 2,300 Humvees

ISIS Seized 2,300 U.S. Armored Humvees, Possibly Worth 1 Billion Dollars



The US foreign policy solution?  Send 1,000 more at the additional cost of $579 million.

Either we're absolutely ignorant, or this is the ulterior plan to arm and build ISIS, where one day we can justify the use of our full  military might.

We have the most powerful mililtary on earth.  Where if you have a hammer, ever problem looks like a nail.

We might as well just open Humvee dealerships in Iraq and offer employee pricing for every ISIS members.  Window sticker MSRP $579,000 US*, ISIS member discount $579,000.  ISIS members $0 down, $0 do at signing, and $0 payments.

It is just further proof we need to get out of a country that won't defend itself. Iraq makes France look good.

Were giving ISIS the good stuff and the old stuff to the Kurds. Just doesn't make sense.

People need to start questioning which side our "President" is on.

He backs the Muslim Brotherhood too.

Takes a lot more people than the President alone to pull off these schemes.  As if a new President waltzes in, and this all goes away.  The CIA, USAID is loaded up to their ears in this stuff.  So are the private security contractors and the front NGO's under the state department who are complicit.  Military "advisers" have put all over these areas.  On the Jordan border, with Iraqi military, Kurds.  Least that's what we're "told".

Matter of fact everywhere we've bombed and killed a bunch of people, has gone to hell in a handbasket. We have a zero success record on nation building.

Everywhere we stick our nose into the middle east is worse off than before we got involved. Enough is enough. But that's not the plan. The government wants a strong enemy, even if we need to make them strong. Then we have an excuse to use some more bombs. Gotta keep the cash flow into the war machine going. In peace, cash flow, revenue, and bonuses are down.

Don't forget the 40 M1A1 main battle tanks and few hundred Howitzers.

After WW2 and total German and Japanese destruction of their countries we helped them build back up. Now they are some of our strongest allies with some of the best economies in the world. Since then though our nation building efforts have focused on people who just don't have the same drive we do. Afghanistan, Iraq, Libya, etc.. all the countries we have tried to help only look for the next handout and how they can skim off the top from international donations. Our two cultures dont mesh!

The prerequisite is that a bunch of people die in our conquest of nation building, millions.  The US also goes broke in the process.  We're so arrogant that we can build our empire around the world.  Empires tend to fail at some point, history indicates this time and time again. They can't be sustained.

That's why the 1% is cashing out as hard as they can. And the politicians too.

They know it won't last another generation, this is it.

Check out just how many died in a dramatic visualization HERE. Opened my eyes!

Yep history can be learned from time and time again.  Unless they try to rewrite it, of which is a continuous effort.  Over a million brown people are now dead with our efforts in the middle east with no signs of letting off the gas.  The under-reported story of the last decade, is the total of war dead, both fighters and civilians.  It's horrific.

Like no time in our history have the American people been so removed to view the death of war.  We're not better off for not seeing or experiencing this horrible reality. It's so easily espoused today to "kill them all".
