I mention this, because as one watches the media worldwide over the Ukraine-Russia war, people on the political Right and some on the political Left are beginning to speak similar sorts of narratives.
This is interesting as the "opponent" spoken about is not necessarily the Russian or Ukrainian peoples, but about governments acting in corrupt fashion.
In that vein, I commented with a quote from another thread and reproduce here:
"...a 2001 moratorium on the sale of land to foreigners had always represented an obstacle to unrestrained privatisation. As post-Maidan governments turned again to the IMF for financing, aid was conditioned on a series of land reforms that would finally allow foreign corporations to acquire vast tracts of the country's farmland. In 2020, Zelenskyy gave in to the IMF's demands and finally repealed the moratorium. 'Agribusiness interests and oligarchs will be the primary beneficiaries of such reform,' said Olena Borodina of the Ukrainian Rural Development Network. 'This will only further marginalise smallholder farmers and risks severing them from their most valuable resource.' But the World Bank could barely contain its excitement, gushing: 'This is, without exaggeration, a historic event.' Even though the new law isn't set to come into force until next year, US and Western European agrobusinesses have already bought up millions of hectares of Ukraine's farmland — with 10 private companies reportedly controlling most of it."If accurate as Modern Diplomacy relates it, neither the citizens of Ukraine, Russia or even the NATO nations including us, are actually winning anything from the conflict. But some intend to win, whatever the ultimate outcome.In "The whole Ukraine goes for sale -massive profit opportunities being created by the war' -- July 17, 2023

Thus your graphic speaks more perhaps than you intended.
That the Muskovite propaganda teams expend so much energy on us here on FR is flattering, I guess. But I could do without it, especially on the weekend.
True populism tends to join people of good will and peace at some point on the arc of a circle. As an example, RFK JRs schooling of Hannity on Ukraine was delightful to me. Trump's populism/nationalism has no home in traditional conservative thought and that's why I find him a delight. Out political standards are shattered and broken. Many see it, but many more are still trapped in the Reagan Republican party. Today, our city on a hill is a mess, and the neighborhood has become a slum. Don't blame me, I've been warning people since Ross Perot :)
