Franco, you need to wake up because you're oblivious to the facts. Fair capitalism? What the hell is that? Do you think capitalism is fair in America or anywhere else? We're not a democracy i.e. "rule of the people", we're a plutocracy, rule of the big-money. Corporations and their cronies rule America, at the expense of the American people. As far as wars, we have 700+ military bases and installations around the world. The US government under the heel of our ruling elite has deployed our military multiple times just in the 21st century alone. We have troops right now deployed around the world, in places like Syria and in Africa. We've seized Syria's oil by force of arms.
We're not there with the consent of Syria's government. That's an invasion of Syria's sovereignty, deploying our troops there without permission and then taking their oil.
Not to mention our other wars, like Afghanistan, a country we invaded
(for a good reason, after 9/11, I was in favor of that), then occupied for twenty years and didn't do shit to improve it. We spent trillions of dollars, filling the coffers of the "defense" industry/military-industrial complex and now we have nothing to show for the many sacrifices made by our sons and daughters deployed in that conflict. The Taliban is back in power and as usual, the people are living under a brutal totalitarian, radical Islamic regime.
WMD Bullshit:
Iraq, Libya, Syria, and our support of Saudi Arabia's destruction of Yemen. How can you ignore this? Are you living in Lalaland? What dimension are you living in that you feel you have the moral highground as an American, to point your crooked, feculent finger at Russia? Our invasion of Iraq was illegal and planned, for reasons other than WMDs. Over a million Iraqis died as a result of our illegal invasion. That doesn't even count the innocent people that died as a result of the 12 years of sanctions our government imposed upon the people of Iraq.
You have the gall, the audacity to pretend that you have the moral highground? You need to stop smoking that shit Franco. You're out of your mind.
The Russians are simply defending themselves against a hostile neighboring country that was going to become a NATO base and was nothing more than a well funded American puppet. The Ukrainian regime banned all opposition, including arresting the owners of TV stations that spoke against the government, and engaged in a terrorist campaign against its ethnic Russian population, resulting in the death of thousands of people. There's a video a couple of years old, of Zelensky on the battlefield, pleading with the Neo-Nazis, the ultra-nationalists, to stop firing their shells at the Donbas. I saw the video myself, I'm not lying to you Franco. The video was on Telegram. The Neo-Nazis, were debating with him
(their supposed commander and chief/president), and they refused to stop. He wasn't in control of these Neo-Nazis. He couldn't stop them from engaging in their terrorist campaign against the Russo-Ukrainians.
The Western media was doing stories, one after another, of Ukraine's Neo-Nazi problem. You can google them, by searching for "Ukraine Neo-Nazis" and place the date of the search between 2014 and 2020, and see for yourself, all of the stories by the mainstream Western media. News outlets like CNN, BBC, SKY NEWS..etc, were admitting, that Ukraine has a serious Neo-Nazi problem. They very conveniently stopped admitting that after Russia's invasion of Ukraine, pretending Ukraine "doesn't really" have any Neo-Nazis. How can a supposedly "woke" social justice warrior/Dem like you be on the side of Neo-Nazis and American imperialism? Just because it's "American" doesn't mean that you have to support it as an American and patriot.
Genuine American patriots call out their government when it's wrong. They don't worship the US government or believe in
"my country right or wrong", that's not the attitude of a real American patriot. What makes you an American patriot is when you defend good principles. You base your patriotism on principles and good practice, not sheepish, blind obedience to the government or the American ruling elite/imperialists who are destroying America, if not the whole world. They're plunging us into WW3 with Russia and China, which amounts to the destruction of all life on this planet. You're willing to sacrifice America and all life on this planet, for Zelensky? You need to stop smoking that funny stuff.
