After just a few short months of being propagandized, a recent poll conducted by Quinnipiac University revealed that a majority of Republicans (46% to 41%) now support a preemptive strike on North Korea.
Newsweek reports:
The poll also showed a large majority of Republicans (63% to 29%) believe that it’s more important to “take away North Korea’s nuclear weapons” than to “avoid war.” Nearly opposite views are held by people identifying as Democrats (24% to 69%).
Previously viewed as aggressive invasion, the United States has normalized preemptive war.
George W. Bush and Dick Cheney argued that Iraq was such a threat that they must be bombed and invaded to prevent a very unlikely attack “at home.” A majority fell for it.
Remember “45 minutes to a mushroom cloud?” Remember Secretary Powell disgracing himself at the UN with vials of anthrax and diagrams of “mobile chemical weapons labs?”
It’s important to remember the lies that promoted preemptive wars as they’re being rolled out once again.
The change in public policy from a supposed defensive nation to an aggressive war machine was called the “Bush Doctrine.” Obama continued the policy as if it was standard operating procedure.
When the Obama Administration argued that the US must preemptively strike Libya’s ruler Gaddafi in support of a “rebel” uprising, the majority fell for it. They told us it was a preemptive “humanitarian war.
