A report says that Iraq and Afghanistan are being left to mercenaries, as the number of private contractors in both countries has risen by over a quarter - all with the approval of the White House.
It is so hard to try and explain to my family and friends what is really going on in this " war on terror ". For propaganda to work , you only need to convince about 30 % of the population that something is true . Blind patriotism is the friend of propaganda . Confusion is another friend . Americans need to educate themselves about how their government sponsored and funded the Taliban during the Russian / Afghanistan War . The American Defense Industry needs enemies to kill in order to sell more weapons . The state of Illinois has over 2,500 war contractors - that is just one state ! This bogus "war" is all about power and control . It is about oil , money , weapons and opium ! America is pretending to be friends with Russia while establishing many military bases around her borders . America wants to play China and Russia off each other , thinking that America will destroy the winner and rule the world. Many empires have tried to rule the world - they all failed !
I consider RT one of the best sources of information available today. Any thinking person, once he has viewed RT and the propaganda, excuse me, "news" available in America with an open mind, could only come to the same conclusion. It is inherent in people to seek the pravada/truth. Even the worst of us want it. RT is fighting a war for peoples minds. God bless you for your efforts.
