I’m not sure what those who keep themselves in charge see as our economic interests anymore. We are self-destructing at an alarming pace.
Do they really want the USA to be a pile of rubble with us waiting for a solar panel or a windmill to turn on the heat?
Is this somehow all part of The Great Reset - which i call The Great Steal - in which people like me really do own nothing and people like the Bidens own it all?
Lots of this make no sense to me.
Russia has vast oil and gas reserves as well as strategic metals which is seen as a threat to the US, both because it can finance their military but primarily there is the fear that Europe will soon become energy dependent on them and therefore less inclined to side with US interests in the future. Ukraine is being used as a pawn in this gambit to perpetuate antagonism between Russia and Europe so they stay at arms length and never get too cozy with them economically.
