In a current CNN interview, the usually very assured US Underneath Secretary of State Victoria Nuland sounded slightly determined. She was making an attempt to make the case for Congress to move one other $61 billion {dollars} for the neocons’ proxy struggle undertaking in Ukraine and she or he was throwing out the previous slogans that the neocons use when they need funding for his or her newest struggle.
Requested by CNN whether or not she believes that Congress will ultimately move the invoice, Nuland responded that she has confidence that, “we are going to do what we now have at all times achieved, which is defend democracy and freedom around the globe…”
What Nuland is making an attempt here’s what the neocons at all times do. They attempt to wrap their horrible insurance policies up within the American flag and promote it to the American folks as one thing reflective of “our” values. If you happen to oppose one other neocon struggle, effectively then you might be unpatriotic in line with their trickery.
However People are waking as much as the lies of the neocons and increasingly are realizing that there is no such thing as a “we” when the neocons are attempting to promote one other struggle. It’s “them.” The “we” within the equation are the people who find themselves being robbed to pay for what’s going to inevitably be one other neocon failure.
Does any American nonetheless imagine that Washington was “defending democracy and freedom” when it used a pack of lies to get us into Iraq, the place a rustic was destroyed and maybe 1,000,000 folks have been killed? How about when, after 20 years in Afghanistan, we managed to interchange the Taliban…with the Taliban? And Syria and Libya and all the opposite interventions?
Was Washington “defending democracy” when Nuland and the remainder of the neocons efficiently overthrew a democratically elected authorities in Ukraine in 2014?
It’s getting tougher and tougher for the American folks to choke down the struggle lies of the neocons. That’s one thing that ought to make us really feel optimistic. In the identical interview, Nuland mentioned she was assured that when Home Members return to session subsequent week, “after they’ve been out of their districts listening to from the American folks,” they are going to vote to ship the $61 billion to Ukraine.
public opinion polls, nonetheless, it’s way more possible that any Member assembly with constituents in the course of the break will hear the other. It’s possible they are going to hear a requirement that not one other penny be spent on the brutal, futile, and disastrous Ukraine struggle. In response to a Harris ballot taken earlier this month, some 70 p.c of People need talks to finish the Ukraine struggle!
People not help the neocon struggle undertaking in Ukraine. That’s one thing to rejoice.
Maybe in a final present of desperation, Victoria Nuland debuted one other argument for protecting the struggle cash flowing for Ukraine. She mentioned, “we now have to keep in mind that the majority of this cash goes proper again into this economic system to make these weapons…”
Is that this alleged to be engaging to the American folks? The center class and the poor are being destroyed by inflation and squeezed by a debased forex in order that the rich, politically-connected weapons producers can get even richer? As a substitute of cash to rebuild this nation and shield its borders, People must be thrilled to see their onerous work go up in smoke, actually, in Ukraine?
