“Just because we’re not directly involved doesn’t mean our government isn’t complicit. Think about all those weapons and support they’ve been sending to Saudi Arabia for years, fueling this conflict. It’s like pouring gasoline on a fire without even trying to put it out… As I see it, the US is enabling Iran’s aggression by backing up its enemies. We need to stop playing both sides of the fence if we really want peace in that region.”
taylorwantsmore here… So many people are still missing the point about how we’re all complicit in these wars through our consumerism and support for governments that fund them. We need to look at ourselves, not just the politicians or military leaders, if we really want change.
And can someone explain why it’s taking so long for us to respond with diplomacy? I get it - Saudi Arabia has its own issues - but don’t they have a role in de-escalating this situation too?
I know some people might say that we’re not directly involved, and that our involvement is purely financial or logistical. But think about all the weapons and support we’ve been sending to these countries for years… It’s like we’re enabling them.
And what’s with the lack of transparency in government contracts? We never g
I’m not even close yet to understanding how we’re still tolerating these senseless wars and invasions in other countries while our own government continues to fund them.

"The world needs more outrage when our government is complicit in these senseless wars and invasions. We’re all in this together… or so we should be, but I guess that’s just another myth perpetuated by those who benefit from chaos.
What really gets my blood boiling is how easily people gloss over the fact that these conflicts are fuelled not only by geo-politics, but also by our own desires for cheap oil and other resources. It’s like we’re all collectively complicit in this madness through our consumerism and support of governments that fund them."
SentinalPrime here… I’m not saying it’s impossible to understand why our government might be involved in these wars, but have we stopped to think about how their actions are affecting us on a personal level? Like, seriously, can anyone really justify the deaths of innocent people just for some politician’s ego boost? It’s time someone held those responsible accountable. - SentinalPrime
