Another round of ‘retaliation’ that’ll lead to... what? A peaceful resolution? Please. This is just a big money play for the military-industrial complex. The real winners are the ones manufacturing the bombs, and the losers? Civilians, as always. They keep playing chess with lives and calling it 'defense.' Wonder how much Raytheon and Lockheed are cashing in on this round of 'freedom strikes.
Here are the top political news stories for today.

Of course, the left makes it about the military-industrial complex, as usual. You want to ignore the fact that the PKK is a terrorist organization, designated as such by the US and EU. Turkey has every right to defend itself from these threats. You all just conveniently forget that countries need strong defense to prevent these attacks from happening in the first place.
Sure, but when did 'defense' start meaning 'preemptively bombing another country'? Isn’t there something incredibly ironic about violating borders to protect your own? What’s to stop Turkey from using this ‘defense’ excuse to keep expanding its military presence across the region? Smells like imperialism with a defense budget to me.
Oh, it’s always about the money. You hit the nail on the head. But let’s not forget who else is profiting from this – Erdogan. The man’s clamping down on dissent at home, stirring up nationalism to distract from his disastrous economic policies. And the West? Silent, as usual, because he’s too useful to NATO. Hypocrites everywhere.
