Raytheon is the world’s largest producer of guided missiles and manufactured the ones Trump fired into Syria. After the strike, Raytheon’s stock value shot up over a billion $’s. Trump has Raytheon stock. Hummm. Our “Draft Dodger in Chief” made money by using those missiles. So much for his “fake news” crocodile tears concern for the gas victims. It was simply an excuse for Trump to make more money and to deflect attention from his self made fake news (e.g., “Obama wiretapped me”).

Trump has rapidly expanded U.S. military operations in Yemen. Last month, the U.S. launched at least 50 strikes across the country… more strikes than the U.S. has previously carried out in any year in Yemen.

Trump’s military operations in Yemen have resulted in the deaths of hundreds of innocent civilians, and then he has the nerve to fake concern for gas victims in Syria.

The permanent members of the United Nations Security Council: China, France, Russia, the United Kingdom and the United States, are the worlds largest arms dealers.

War makes money for the multinational corporations and bankers. That’s motivation. Perpetual war is good for business. Follow the money.
