For decades, U.S. military interventions have left deep scars and lasting resentment across the world. In 1953, the CIA helped overthrow Iran’s democratically elected Prime Minister Mohammad Mossadegh, installing the Shah and sowing the seeds of the 1979 revolution. In Iraq, the 2003 invasion—based on false claims of weapons of mass destruction—destroyed the state, killed hundreds of thousands, and unleashed sectarian chaos that later gave rise to ISIS.
In Afghanistan (2001–2021), America’s longest war ended with the Taliban back in power after trillions spent and countless lives lost. Libya (2011) was reduced to a failed state after NATO intervention toppled Gaddafi, leaving militias, slavery markets, and permanent instability. Repeated U.S. actions in Latin America and the Middle East have followed the same pattern: intervention, collapse, resentment.
Yet today, the Trump-aligned agenda demands $1.5 trillion for an ever-expanding military budget—while U.S. citizens struggle with poverty, healthcare crises, crumbling infrastructure, and homelessness. This is not security; it is squandering national wealth while exporting suffering abroad and neglect at home.
