Last week, millions of Americans were busy ‘flagsturbating’ to the latest American war porn, American Sniper. While they were distracted, the federal government was busy bolstering the war machinery that the film helps to glorify.
According to a new estimate published by the Congressional Budget Office last week, it will cost $348 billion over a decade for the United States to update its nuclear weapons. Should they do it, they will continue a stranglehold on one of the world’s biggest arsenals.
The report, entitled “Projected Costs of U.S. Nuclear Forces, 2015 to 2024,” says the cost for 2015 to 2024 dropped from the 2014-2023 $355 billion estimate–that makes this year’s a bargain at $7 billion off!
Why don’t we just blow the whole lot of us to smithereens. We are not capable of sustaining this planet because capitalism is in control, instead of common sense, so we must not have any common sense. The Human race does not deserve to live on this “Once Beautiful” planet, because of our lack of respect for it. I think once the humans are eliminated, the Earth may recover itself in time. Humans are a biological infestation that needs to be eliminated.
