I guess I just don't get the passion about this war and tend to avoid the fanboys.

Personally, I've followed news since my teenaged years, in the 70's and it seems the same amoral cretins have been lying us into attacking various countries, basically to line their own pockets, for decades. So is Ukraine actually different? They were literally saying before the war, they wanted to turn it into another Afghanistan, referring the problems created for the Soviets, back in the late 70's and 80's. How did that work out for Afghanistan!

So my question is, do you actually believe there were none of the usual color revolutions, CIA dirty tricks, etc, ? If you actually think Zelensky=Churchill, Putin=Hitler, I guess my next question is whether you were born yesterday? If not, I would tend to conclude you have some monetary interest in these wars.

I'd hate to inform you of the reality, but the MIC is really just the trophy wife of the banks.

You see, with public government and private banking, the banks rule. Not only is there less oversight and they don't have to plan around election cycles, but they control the finances of anyone daring to run for office.

So the only thing the banks really need from government is all that debt. Which they need to back the asset side of the ledger.

The federal debt has been growing since the New Deal, so not only was Roosevelt putting unemployed labor back to work, but unemployed capital, as well. Then WW2 came along, as the biggest public works project in US history and the die was cast.

Basically the real, foundational purpose of these wars is as a burn pit for the borrowed money, so more can be borrowed.

If you do have any historical knowledge, can you think of another time in history when this amount monumental military ineptitude wouldn't have had those responsible taken out and shot? If so, name it.

That's because they are just bunch of delinquent children, having been given matches and gasoline to play with.

Government is the decision making function and when it has been neutered, leaving the banks to print money at whim, it's like bacteria racing across a petri dish. Debt doesn't matter, until it does.

The mother of all reality checks is in the mail.
