The “crippling actions” US Secretary of State Clinton warned of may actually be Israel and the U.S. mobilizing for and instigating a war, instead of showing an unwillingness to fight. Together, they spend more money on their national defense than the top twenty-five countries in the world. (This includes China, Russia, Saudi Arabia, France, Great Britain, and Iran.) Proportionally, they have more individuals under arms. Therefore, it seems odd when they call on other countries to completely disarm. And are military expenditures, including the ongoing U.S.-Israeli Defense Forces training exercises that are simulating missile attacks from Iran, really for defense or keeping a population in perpetual fear?
