You do know, I'll assume, that without Ukraine agreeing to US Missile Bases on their land they would get little help from the USA down the pike. And for EU’s monetary assist the nation must go, like Greece, with austerity controls...meaning pensions, social services etc. cut,cut,cut...which are already on the planning board if not some fully in place already.
Worked well for the Powers that be to state “sacrifice” by the people is ‘necessary’ to equip the army defense's etc.....Too bad Nato didn't step in as Ukrainians were mislead to believe...but only possible..nothing set in stone. Rather Nato put troops on the borders of it's Member states.
Ukraine wants to play in the Big Boys League and they cannot do so with amateurs easily manipulated at the wheel....whose goal is to align themselves with the Powers that be by assuming political positions. They'll be like our Congress now...yes men.
My grief is not with the Ukrainian people, nor any other nation per say. It's with the EU/US agenda to put all nations under one roof and depriving them of their independence under a false idealism it's for the good of the whole...when in fact it's a redistribution of wealth, commerce and revenues to the nations who have the most to offer in resources etc...and this to fill the Governing coffers of the International Leadership...NONE of which were elected, rather appointed by God only knows and those who did so.
Putin, China, India, Egypt... and the Middle Eastern nations, along with India are opposing this "reach" as they desire nations remain Independant and determine their own trade deals etc. rather than under the governance of a world group ear-marked to do just that. However, because of the EU/US push, they are forced to Unite into their own Groups..Eurasia..Brics etc. to offset the EU/US/Nato advances....and thus we also have with Middle Eastern Nations grouping together as well.
I am 'for' Independant Nations to Govern themselves...and this includes my country the USA.... The World Leaders are lost in their quest for World Dominance, and this on the backs of all nations peoples, who will be fortunate to get the crumbs from their table. I've watched my country get stripped of it's manufacturing, it's revenues, to fund world nations from their economies to their wars, to rebuilding thier nations, and that at the expense of the lives of our soldiers, our incomes, and the health and wealth of our citizens. The US is now left a shell of what it was.. and do you think for one minute any other nation will remember ours when it falls? or come to it's aide? Of course not...
... so I'm done with sacrificing for nations who only turn and complain like children they didn't get enough from us....and Ukraine is already doing just that. Fight your own wars and defend your own country rather than continue to be a welfare state...and be grateful for the little Ukraine has...or move to another nation.
