The cry went up 'guns before butter',
aimed at a people who had ben persuaded
they they were at peace with their neigbours,
until the Commander of the Air Force told them
'Guns will make us powerful, butter will only make us fat'.
Before supporing the conditions for local civil wars,
and following them six six years of world war,
that it took the determination, of all the Allied Forces
fighting together to end, through to outright defeat.
The world took decades to recover from that war,
and even longer to learn to listen about who suffered most.
Cut to the present day and the world's richest country,
once the supporter of advanced peace time medical science
has withdrawn from the poorest countries across the world
the life giving medical science the poor could not afford
but had been given, whilst such support is being withdrawn
from even the has now withdrawn for its own the poor at home.
And even now the USA has plans for a military budget
that dwarfs all previous plans for the military industrial complex,
expanding the military budget to, wait for it....... $1,500,000,000,000.
More than the military budgets of next ten richest countries in the world, combined.
