Russell Brand Tears Apart Obama’s Reasons for Starting Another War in Iraq
In a recent episode of "The Trews" titled "Will Obama's Bombs Stop Beheadings?" comedian Russell Brand ponders what President Obama really means when he says the U.S. is attacking Islamic State in Syria and Iraq in order to protect "America's core interests."In a recent episode of “The Trews” titled “Will Obama’s Bombs Stop Beheadings?” comedian Russell Brand ponders what President Obama really means when he says the U.S. is attacking Islamic State in Syria and Iraq in order to protect “America’s core interests.” Hint: These so-called interests have a lot more to do with the 1 percent than the average American Obama supposedly is waging war to defend.
The host also draws a comparison between Obama and George W.
