The U.S. doesn't invade other countries to "own" their lands. We invade them to install governments that are willing to do business with the same global corporations that buy our own government.
Lindsey Graham and Nikki Haley capture the essence of this perfectly. Does anyone ever wonder what the hell the voters of South Carolina care about the war-mongering globalism that defines these two stooges? They don't. Graham and Haley don't represent the voters of South Carolina. Rather, their rise on the U.S. political scene coincides with the decision of Boeing Corporation to invest a fortune in new aircraft production facilities in South Carolina. Graham and Haley are employed by Boeing, not the people of the United States.
Why is Lindsey Graham pushing so hard to have the U.S. military protect Ukraine, even while he's one of the worst in Washington when it comes to protecting our own borders? It's because Ukraine International Airlines was the first company from a former Soviet republic to buy Boeing aircraft for its fleet.
Lindsey Graham doesn't give a sh!t about democracy in Ukraine. If Vladimir Putin purchased Boeing aircraft for Aeroflot and that Zelensky dude was buying Airbus aircraft, the U.S. would be supporting the Russians in this one. In fact, the Russians wouldn't even need to invade Ukraine because the U.S. would have done it for them.
“the war-mongering globalism”
This phrase is defeated in reality. Peace through Strength is good old Reagan conservatism. When Russia acts as it has done in Georgia and Ukraine, three times now, it shows that the reality is that there is evil out there.
“This isn’t 1850, people. You don’t establish an empire by invading countries and annexing their territory anymore.”
The irony is thick today!!!
