“The vast majority of us CARE about the problems in this country...”

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

Let me try to explain to you.
America’s economy can’t survive without allies. That’s why America doesn’t have the luxury to just sit by and watch its worst enemies destroy its best allies, one by one - Israel, Europe, Umkraine, Taiwan, South Korea, Japan, etc.. etc..

Let’s do a metaphor:
Imagine a cruise ship with 195 cabins.
The cruise ship represents Mother Earth.
The 195 cabins represent the 195 countries of the planet.
If we have violent passengers in cabin No. 55 (drunk Russians) who decides to go berserk and set their neighbor cabin No. 56 (occupied by an Ukrainian couple) on fire... and imagine if the other passengers from the other cabins nearby decides to ignore that fire... saying “it’s not OUR cabin burning thus not OUR business to do anything about it”. Well... what would happen??

Well... in such a scenario it would precipitate the spread of the fire to other cabins nearby, and to the next... and to the next... very quickly. When 10 cabins are burning... there is a high risk of the entire ship being compromised - sinking with all the 195 cabins of the ship going down with it.

THAT is the situation Russia has imposed to the world by simply setting fire to one (and others) of its neighbors : Ukraine.
Russia is playing with fire and risks igniting the whole ship (Mother Earth) as my metaphor explained above... - especially since they are ALSO playing the nuke-talk-threats on a near weekly basis...

Cabins / countries on Mothership Earth can’t let the fire spread unhindered from “cabin to cabin” / region to region without the risk it spreads all over, including “cabin America”.

Thats why America, Nato and the EU are putting “firewalls” against the firestorm form where it is originating from : Russia.

80% of the world has turned against because of our bullying during the proxy war in Ukraine. We've alienated former key allies like Saudi Arabia and India.

The truth is that our oligarchy has abused Europe by cutting it off from cheap Russian energy and other natural resources and forcing those countries to pay more for our oil and gas or get oil and gas from Russia and higher prices through third parties.

Here's a proper analogy:

Imagine a train full of Ukrainians. The majority are Ukrainian nationalists, a good number of neo-Nazis leanings. The rest are ethnically Russian and/or don't care for the Ukraine nationalists and neo-Nazis. These two groups dislike each intensely.

A conductor has managed to keep the peace on the train. But, the Ukrainian nationalists want the ethnic Russians and their allies off the train. So, they throw the conductor off the train, hijack it and demand the ethnic Russians and their supporters jump off the train. They refuse to do so. One of the Russians on the train has ties to the Russian government and requests its help to rescue himself and the others being threatened. The Russia government agrees to intervene and saves the lives of the passengers.
