The MIC just picks who they want to bomb. They have our military bomb them and then President runs a PR advertising campaign to justify the bombing. After that the rest of the MIC swoops in and sells both side weapons. This is one if the reasons why they're pissed at Trump. He stopped them from going crazy during his admin. He blatantly pointed out that the MIC is using our own military for their personal gain and meanwhile our legitimate national security objectives are piling up against us. If everything was about America's security we would step things up in Africa and South America to curb Chinese expansion but instead we're still putzing around in the Middle East to raise our energy prices and give companies in the energy sectors with fat contracts more money.
