American wars of choice

Marco Rubio complains that Iran spends money on weapons rather than on building roads, even though the U.S. does the same but for use on the other side of the world, not to defend itself or to protect U.S. interests. Does the American audience notice this? 

“Every dollar and every penny that that regime gets, they don’t spend it on roads or bridges or helping improve the lives of the Iranian people. They spend that money on Hezbollah and Hamas and militias that fire rockets out of Iraq and the Houthis. They should have spent their money on their people, and instead they spend their money on terrorism and on weapons."

Meanwhile here's Brian Berletic.

"And in case there is any doubt, the US admits 100s of its advisers are involved in facilitating the war on Yemen, which is obvious even without the admission as Saudi Arabia itself lacks the capabilities to wage such a war.

"It is a US war in all but name. 

"The US is an over-extended empire increasingly draining its own proxies to compensate for its own growing limitations.

"This recent development is just another symptom of this process."
