How long must Ukrainian Mothers weep for their dead children because The Democrat Party Organized Crime Syndicate needs to coverup their crimes?

Anyone who still supports The Democrat Party Organized Crime Syndicate has an evil and criminal heart, mind and soul.

(while the money is actually mostly spent on American and NATO preparedness and new plants and weapons)


Kazan, you finally agree with these?

Real human beings are the test subjects.

As were those real human beings targeted by the pandemic's vaccine.

Real human beings are seriously targeted every day in every way by the controllers.

The implication was that as long as the US continued to send millions and billions over there is no reason to stop.

Or start.

The only reason the proxy war lasted more than fifteen minutes is the US money-laundering operation.

So the question is... When will Putin run out of rubles? The Ukrainian’s have an endless supply of money coming their way from countries throughout the world... Putin needs to rely on Iran, China and North Korea... An none of them have any money.

Ever since the pull out of our troops from Afghanistan and $85 billion in weapons and equipment left behind,
I have had the opinion that it was done deliberately so that the MIC would make money replacing it.

I can end this in no time at all with very little if any extra funding

Conscript the blood relatives between the of 17 and 35 of every Federal Employee and All Military Contractor Employee’s. Give them 2 weeks training and send them straight to the Front Lines in Ukraine.

Sadly,

Economics is ALWAYS the true motivation for any conflict.

Only for those doing the dying are all these superficial causes invoked. Keep them motivated.

That does not mean all wars are wrong, but it is still economic interests that deep down buried somewhere are the true motivation.

“war is an extension of politics, or “a continuation of politics by other means”.” Clausowitz

If you have an issue that is extremely important, and those are normally economic in nature (for those with the power to push things into war), for one or both sides, and a compromise cannot be reached, force is the final way to settle it.

Sadly, and this is something many here do not want to acknowledge, we have become extremely quick to use force in furtherance of overt economic interests. Interests where no national security interest can be articulated (self defense of our territory or people) no benefit for the common citizen regards his safety, wealth or freedom can be articulated.

As the only unchallenged (but China/PRC has risen to the peer level) worlds super power for many years 1991 onward, we have learned to use force because it gives us quick and easy solutions without consequence. We are insulated enough (Buffer states in Pacific and Atlantic, two oceans, massive military, intel, economic might) to where what we cause in Iraq, Libya, Syria, Serbia, Ukraine... doesn't come home to haunt us much.

We tend to use those tools which work well for us, and for us that has become the DoD and our massive intel apparatus.

Long ago, we abandoned two concepts.

—Just war: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Just_war_theory
—Defensive war: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Defensive_war

The sort of junk we are doing today cannot be defended with either of these. Iraq, Ukraine, Syria, Libya... We just make stuff up or lie to make it sound like we have a moral cause. Our political leadership create idiotic sound good arguments that are so stupid they are an insult to ones intelligence.

Times have really changed from 1945 ~ 2003. We once were the good guys that actually were usually on the defense and mostly had a legit justification for most of our military campaigns post WWII. Today, we are the ones that are expansionist, we are the ones that are often offensive, expeditionary, motivated overtly by economics (Libya, Venezuela, Iraq, Syria are all oil and gas producers and that's no coincidence), escalate the use of force to try to get what we want, grossly violate many conventions on land warfare, break treaties, etc.

Many of us would still want to believe we are the US of Ronald Reagan, “peace through strength,” but that is not who we are today. We are the playground bully and the reason why so many are flocking to BRICS despite all our efforts to prevent them, is because we are seen as just that: arrogant, expansionist, militant, untrustworthy: https://moderndiplomacy.eu/wp-content/uploads/2023/05/brics-expansion.jpg This is in rebuke of us, and we do not accept that reality. There is talk in Mexico of joining BRICS!

“Economics is ALWAYS the true motivation for any conflict.”

Disagree, it’s nationalism and ethnic pride that makes most wars.

I‘m very sorry, but I do think Mr. Red6 is right.

Nationalism and ethnic pride might play a role, yes, especially when it is a war of liberation- but wars for conquest are most often for increasing a nations power. That comes with wealth in resources and people.
