Guidelines:
In Congress today, the war criminal who has starved, killed and maimed tens of thousands of Palestinians was given standing ovations and 70 applause breaks.
It wasn't the only thing that happened. Over 100 Democrats boycotted the address and thousands protested outside. Still, I think this cartoon captures the spectacle of what happened inside the building.
The US is a capitalist state, its government exists solely to serve the interests of its corporate class, and its defense industry is one of its most powerful. Look at its defense budgets, those spending bills are almost congress's main reason for existing.
Not for the US state and the corporations it serves. For them it was mission accomplished / everything is working correctly as intended.
This is probably pointless, since I already linked articles that show how many hundreds of billions in profit the US defense companies make.
US would lose a vital base for projecting its power in the middle east, so no, it doesn't want to close it down any more than it wants to shut down its other external 800+ military bases.
