CV,
That's not what I said. Not even close.
You have stated quite clearly in
this post that you're willing to risk nuclear war, which could result in your death and that of all your family and friends - merely in order to achieve what you regard as a desirable ideological change and
"territorial integrity" - not in your own country - but in other countries whose regimes have minimal - if not zero - impact on your life and well being. That, in anyone's book, is an having an ultra, ultra extreme view which many would consider as insane.
If you regard nuclear war which - I say again - could result in the death and destruction of just about everyone and everything as
"a minimal risk", then there's the confirmation for those that need it that you've completely lost the plot!
Well, everyone other than dictators with nukes will agree with that! However, the reality is that there are dictators and there are nukes, so we have to address the situation we find ourselves in and cast aside what we want, wish and hope for.
Wrong about Ukrainians, right about the bills.
The U.S. is overseeing the deliberate destruction of Ukraine and the death of tens of thousands - if not hundreds of thousands of its people - for three main reasons:
1. To maintain its hegemony on the world stage and to keep the $USD as the world's reserve currency.
2. To maintain and enlarge NATO which has become increasingly irrelevant following the break up of the former Soviet Union.
3. To make $billions upon billions via the military industrial complex and the oil and gas industry. Self evidently, the former needs wars and the latter can be achieved by driving a wedge between Europe and Russia so that we (Europe) are dependant upon the U.S. for our gas and not Russia. Needless to say, this feeds back into points one and two.
These are the real reasons why the Biden administration want this war and, to be fair to them, they've played a blinder, because they've largely achieved their goals while, at the same time, duped almost everyone into thinking their motives are to defend Ukraine's sovereignty
"territorial integrity", democracy and freedom. That's total bollox. To believe that the U.S. cares two hoots about a country that most of its citizens couldn't even locate on a map is naive beyond belief. That you can't see past this crude and obvious ruse - even when I and others spell it out in black and white - is beyond depressing.
