The dollar isn't backed by gold anymore—it's backed by America's ability to wage war. This sobering reality forms the foundation of our deep dive into what we've termed "America's fetish with war" and how it shapes our economy, society, and global standing.
Taking you through America's near-constant state of conflict since World War II, we trace how our national identity has become inextricably linked to military power. From Korea to Vietnam, the Middle East and beyond, America has spent far more time at war than at peace. But why? The answer lies in the uncomfortable reality of how our economy functions—war is profitable for those at the top while ordinary Americans struggle.
We explore the military-industrial complex as not just a warning from Eisenhower but as the fundamental business model of modern America. When we send "aid" to countries like Ukraine, that money largely flows to American defense contractors who then donate to political campaigns, creating a self-perpetuating cycle that demands perpetual conflict. Meanwhile, approximately 17% of Americans report not having enough food to eat.
The influence of foreign lobbying groups raises further questions about American sovereignty. When politicians receive substantial donations from organizations like AIPAC, whose interests are they truly serving? And why are these legitimate questions so often met with character attacks rather than substantive debate?
As you listen, consider the words of Smedley Butler: "War is a racket." Whether you're a veteran, a patriot, or simply someone concerned about America's future, this episode challenges you to question whether our national addiction to conflict serves the American people or merely enriches those who profit from bloodshed. Subscribe now and join the conversation about what America could be if we redirected our immense resources toward prosperity rather than perpetual war.
