Submitted by Michael Snyder via The End of The American Dream blog,

Major retailers in the United States are shutting down hundreds of stores, and shoppers are reporting alarmingly bare shelves in many retail locations that are still open all over the country.  It appears that the retail apocalypse that made so many headlines in 2015 has gone to an entirely new level as we enter 2016.

This war is humanitarian disaster and a strategic failure; ending our support for it should be a no-brainer.
