Trump started calling the Department of Defense the Department of War. He had Republicans in Congress increase the “war” budget by $150 billion this year, to a total of $1 trillion.

With that budget, Trump has:
🔸Used military strikes in Somalia, Iraq, Yemen, Syria, Nigeria, and Iran.
🔸Threatened force against Panama, Greenland, and Colombia
🔸Invaded Venezuela and deposed its leader
🔸Started a war with Iran that has engulfed the Middle East in chaos and taken American lives

For next year’s budget, Trump has requested a $500 billion increase in the “war” budget that would bring it to $1.5 trillion.

At the same time, cuts were made to Medicaid, Medicare, healthcare subsidies, food assistance, education, and the Department of Veterans Affairs.

It is clear that Trump and Republicans are focused on starting conflicts across the globe while 750,000 Americans are homeless, 27 million lack healthcare, 36 million live in poverty, and almost half of all full-time workers aren’t even paid a livable wage.

So much for putting “America First”.

Military Commander Tells Troops Bombing Iran Is ‘Part Of God’s Divine Plan’

Troops are being told to prepare for armageddon.

For some U.S. military commanders, the emerging war in Iran is part of a biblical plan to bring about the end of the world as we know it, according to complaints filed by over 100 service members.

According to the complaint first reported by Larsen, the commander said President Donald Trump “has been anointed by Jesus to light the signal fire in Iran to cause Armageddon and mark his return to Earth.”

Some religious figures and their followers believe this.
