America is a country so dependent on its military hardware production as a staple of its economy that it seems difficult to see a way out. If sanctions were lifted on Iran and instead of fracking our countryside we bought oil from Iran and sold Iran aircraft and other goods that would go a long way to transitioning to a more peaceful future. Also if sanctions were lifted on Russia and we started trading goods rather than stagnating business the world might just make it through the next decade.

Should we forget he was named as one of the organizers of the Mikonos massacre in Berlin?
