The New York congresswoman said most Americans have no interest in foreign wars but have been dragged along by a 'powerful and concentrated class' that controls U.S. politics.
Democratic congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez has likened President Donald Trump's Iran strategy to white supremacy, and said his conduct speaks to the wider problem of how American leaders think and talk about foreign wars.
Trump came under fire at home and abroad earlier this month after threatening to launch airstrikes against 52 targets in Iran, including some of cultural significance. International experts have argued, as would the"disproportionate" military response the president promised in the case of Iranian provocation.
"I think it is the priority of a powerful and concentrated class in the United States that happens to have a grip of control over our government." "We don't talk about the actual people who experience violence. And it is almost portrayed in media and in culture as people who didn't have a society anyway, as though they are people that were just kind of out in the desert somewhere."
