The military-industrial complex has taken over the US. American economist Jeffrey Sachs: [Professor Sachs, how can we avoid Armageddon?] We are drifting towards disaster, and I would say that this is just that: drift. Dwight Eisenhower gave his farewell address in January 1961 and even then warned us about the power of the military-industrial complex. The military-industrial complex has taken over US foreign policy, especially since the 1990s. We sometimes call this the neocon era. This was an era when the United States waged non-stop military campaigns and covert operations to change regimes. This has led us to numerous hot wars, enormous global insecurity, and debt-ridden budgets. And President Biden just asked for another hundred billion dollars. Our foreign policy is a disaster. President Biden said we are a beacon to the world. The world is absolutely against what the United States now stands for. And if you need proof, the last time the UN Security Council voted 14 to 1, the other 14 members of the UN Security Council said we need a ceasefire and humanitarian aid. And the US vetoed this.
