(#5387) The military industrial complex is needed now

      I am not a fan of the military industrial complex but there is a time and a place for such an entity and for now it is time. There is an evil tyrant, putin, on the other side of the world, and he is injecting his form of delusion on most every part of the world. He has even infiltrated enough of the republican party here in America to cause our democracy to become perilously close to being destroyed. His lackey trump and too many congressional republicans are doing his bidding, consciously or otherwise. Especially the selfish republican senator from Alabama, tuberville, who puts his own principles above our nations principles by blocking hundreds of military leadership posts at a time when putin is doing more than rattling his sabre!
     We need to protect our allies who are right now in harm's way and republicans are playing hostage taking with that protection. Demanding that we Americans give up our earned benefits and enforcement of IRS rules that hold the wealthy to account. It is absurd that the republican party would not unite enough to stop playing games and give our allies the means to withstand attacks that if not withstood will create even more chaos and cost to us in the very near future. The republican party has turned into such a mess that even the traditional goals of republicans are now seen as secondary to their insatiable thirst for power. Well be that as it may be there may well be no power left to drool over if we don't protect democracy from the tyrants of the world.
     Which is why we need to be on alert with our military industrial complex and its ability to produce the latest weapons of war in order to defeat those who would deny all that democracy affords. We did not start the wars but we sure as hell will finish them and all those who are collaborating with the enemy. Best be seen as fighting for democracy when the shit hits the fan than be caught out working to defeat democracy and be left to our small amount of mercy at this point. For freedom to reign the tyrants must be defeated. It is that simple. So the republican party had better heed my advice and relinquish their advertent/inadvertent attention to selfishness or worse and join the rest of us to defeat tyranny and fascism now!
