There is a video clip making the rounds showing President Biden
speaking at a recent NATO summit about the seven billion dollars the US
government had - at that time - provided to Ukraine. Attached to that is
another clip showing the horrific state of several US major cities,
including in Pennsylvania, California, and Ohio. The video of American
cities is shocking: endless landscapes of filth, trash, homelessness,
open fires on the street, drug-addicted zombies. It doesn’t look like
the America most of us remember.
Watching Biden bragging about sending billions of dollars to corrupt
leaders overseas with American cities looking like bombed-out Iraq or
Libya is US foreign policy in a nutshell. The Washington elites tell the
rest of America that they must “promote democracy” in some far-off
land. Anyone who objects is considered in league with the appointed
enemy of the day. Once it was Saddam, then Assad and Gaddafi. Now it’s
Putin. The game is the same, only the names are changed.
What is seldom asked, is what is in this deal for those Americans who
suffer to pay for our interventionist foreign policy. Do they really
think a working American in Ohio or Pennsylvania is better off or safer
because we are supposedly protecting Ukraine’s borders? I think most
Americans would wonder why they aren’t bothering to protect our own
borders.
A reported 200,000 illegals crossed the border into the US in July
alone. You can believe they are learning quickly about the free money
provided by the US government to illegals. They’ll probably get a voting
card as well.
Last Friday the Pentagon announced that yet another $775 million would
be sent to Ukraine. As Antiwar.com reported, it was the eighteenth
weapons package to Ukraine in six months. Has there ever been a more
idiotic US intervention in history?
Supporters of this proxy war may celebrate more aid to Ukraine, but the
reality is that it is in no way aid to Ukraine. That’s not how the
system works. It is money created out of thin air by the Fed and
appropriated by Congress to be spent propping up the
politically-connected military-industrial complex. It is a big check
written by middle America to rich people who run Raytheon and Lockheed
Martin. Americans watch their budget being stretched to the limit while
the Beltway fat-cats loosen their belts to continue enjoying the gravy
train.
Bloomberg reported earlier this summer that inflation is costing the
average American household more than $5,200 this year. Inflation is a
tax on middle class and poor Americans. The wealthy – like those who run
Raytheon and Lockheed Martin – always get the new money first, before
prices go up. The rest of us watch as the dollar buys less and less.
As Washington salivates over fighting Russia in Ukraine, the rest of
America feels like we’re becoming Zimbabwe. How long until it takes a
trillion dollars for a loaf of bread? Will there be a run on
wheelbarrows?
There is a way out. It’s called “non-interventionism.” The war in
Ukraine was caused by the US regime change in 2014 and the neocon
insistence that Ukraine join NATO. The State Department and CIA thought
it was a great victory to overthrow the elected government, but
meanwhile the rest of us get the bill. No NATO and not one more penny
for Ukraine!
