Imagine if all the money spent on wars over the decades was instead spent on curing cancer?

When one thinks of this it just has to bother them. Even the efforts of designing military advancements instead of health advancement.

It is depressing really.

Imagine if it was left in the pockets of those who earned it in the first place.

Almost "all" nations have a military that requires upkeep, for good reason. As for curing cancer. The problem is that doctors don't want cures for cancer and heart disease. If those conditions would be cured, they would lose a lot of business (money), so it's in their own interest to not solve the problem.

Yes and no. Do you have any idea what kind of shit show the Middle East would be if Saddam and his psycho sons were still alive? We should have pulled out the moment that we found him though. No more nation building. Let the Iraqis rebuild their nation themselves. Leave them with rubble.

Hell, I say we even have 1 drone squadron in Afghanistan just to fuck with the Taliban. A permanent thorn in their side. We need to remind the world that you dont fuck with the US, and I would bring the pain on the stupid fuckin Houthis. I'd be hitting them with cruise missiles.

Im not down with long drawn-out wars, but im bringing fiery death on anyone who fucks with the US, our allies, or any other of our interests.

Just imagine all the money spent on the poor that instead put towards the efforts of medicine, where the human race would be today.

The War on Poverty After 50 Years

This week, the U.S. Census Bureau is scheduled to release its annual poverty report. The report will be notable because this year marks the 50th anniversary of the launch of President Lyndon Johnson’s War on Poverty. In his January 1964 State of the Union address, Johnson proclaimed, “This...

Yeah, when doctors finally find the cure, the research money no longer is available.

Only for a few years, and when no one gets cancer anymore, the funds dry up.

What pisses me off, is that Lyndon Baines Johnson, rounded up all the black people that he could, and stuck them in a 1 mile area called the projects, destroying the nuclear family of the blacks, by giving them just enough money, from Uncle Sugar, to keep the woman pregnant and the man on the lamb. So much wasted money that could of gone to much better purpose, but then the Democrat Party would not have a plantation of slaves that kept voting for them. The wars of the United States, doesnt even compare to the waste that went to keeping black in chains of poverty..

ALL wars are avoidable. No one says a nation must start them.

The people most likely to gain power and money are people with few morals and less empathy. It's a big problem for this world.

We have cancer cures. Peoples poor diet is by far the main cause.

Clean up your diet and eat the following:

Leafy greens
Mushrooms
Cooked tomatoes
Garlic
Turmeric
Green tea
Berries
Broccoli

Re-read what I typed. NO country (and leader) has to start a war. Germany is a country, yes?
