Ask yourself how four percent of humanity acquires one-quarter of global wealth?There is NO justification, under any circumstances, for the Russian Federation to INVADE and annex the Crimean province of Ukraine. Nearly every country on the planet is against the Russian annexation of Crimea and wants the Crimea to be returned to Ukraine. This the first invasion and annexation of another countries territory in Europe since ADOLF HITLER did it in the 1940s

US staged a coup in Ukraine – here’s why and how - NationofChange
"In the picture below, McCain is standing on the stage next to Oleh Tyahnybok, the leader of the far-right group called Svoboda, which uses a not-so-subtle logo that combines 'N' and 'Z.' Get it?"
Hint: it's not from nation building or fighting Nazis.
Would you apply the same logic to the Monroe Doctrine?There is no such thing as the near-abroad. What the Russians or others refer to as the "near-abroad" are independent countries that are allowed to make their own choices about whether to join a particular economic block or Defensive Alliance. The Russians have no right, to stop any other independent country from joining an Economic Union or Defensive Alliance.
‘Abandoned’ Monroe Doctrine Guided U.S. Policy for 190 Years
Who gets rich from that?The only ground combat units the United States had in Europe were a lightly armed Airborne Brigade in Vincenza Italy, and a lightly armed Stryker Brigade in Southern Germany. THEN THE RUSSIANS INVADED UKRAINE and ANNEXED CRIMEA IN FEBRUARY/MARCH 2014. This forced the United States to do a complete 180 on its troop levels and redeployments. U.S. Main Battle Tanks swiftly came back to Europe
NATO is a cash cow for US arms dealers.You don't have to be apart of NATO to buy U.S. military equipment. NATO's existence has no impact on U.S. arm sales.
NATO Is a Goldmine for US Weapons’ Industries
"Countries of the NATO military alliance have been ordered by President Trump to increase their spending on weapons, and the reasons for his insistence they do so are becoming clearer.
"It’s got nothing to do with any defence rationale, because, after all, the Secretary General of the US-NATO military alliance, Jens Stoltenberg, has admitted that 'we don’t see any imminent threat against any NATO ally' and the Stockholm International Peace Research Institute recorded in its 2018 World Report that 'at $66.3 billion, Russia’s military spending in 2017 was 20 per cent lower than in 2016.'
"Even Radio Free Europe, the US government's anti-Russia broadcaster, records that Russia has reduced its defence spending."
" Within European NATO, the biggest spenders on US arms, thus far, are Poland, Romania, Britain and Greece, and the amounts involved are colossal.
"Poland, whose economy is booming, has signed an agreement to buy Patriot missile systems for $4.75 billion, adding to the purchase of Joint Air-to-Surface Standoff Missiles for $200 million, Advanced Medium Range Air-to-Air Missiles, costing $250 million, and High Mobility Artillery Rocket Systems for the same amount.
"Delivery of its 48 F-16 multi-role strike aircraft ($4.7 billion) began in 2006, and Warsaw has proved a loyal customer ever since. Who knows what exotic new piece of US hardware will be ordered as a result of Mr Trump’s encouragement?"

The same interests which organized the US meddling in Ukraine's 2014 elections:
America's Ukraine Hypocrisy
"There is an abundance of outrage in the United States about Russia’s alleged meddling in the 2016 presidential election.
"Multiple investigations are taking place, and Moscow’s conduct was a major justification for the sanctions legislation that Congress just passed.
"Some furious political figures and members of the media insist that the Putin government’s interference constitutes an act of war.
"One especially agitated House member even compared it explicitly to the Pearl Harbor and 9/11 attacks.
"Such umbrage might be more credible if the United States refrained from engaging in similar conduct.
"But the historical record shows that Washington has meddled in the political affairs of dozens of countries—including many democracies.
"An egregious example occurred in Ukraine during the Euromaidan Revolution of 2014."

Apparently you do not know when Berlin fellThis thread is about US foreign policy since 1945:Yea we had no right to stop those considerate nazies
Hegemony or Survival - Wikipedia
"Chomsky's primary argument in Hegemony or Survival is that the United States government has pursued an 'Imperial Grand Strategy' in order to maintain its status as the world's foremost superpower since at least the end of the Second World War."
How's it working out for those maimed, murdered, and displaced by the heroic US interventions?Working out pretty good in both Iraq and Syria. ISIS has been crushed in both states. Iraq is producing vast sums of oil for the global market
Where did you get the idea the standard of living and life expectancy is currently the highest in human history?he United States saved the world from World War III, Soviet Communism, and aggressive Rogue States. The United States is the #1 reason why the standard of living on the planet and life expectancy is the highest it has ever been in human history.
Harry Truman changed course from FDR about the same time he became aware of nuclear weapons. The reality is the US took over for the British Empire at the end of WWII, and very little has changed in that regard since 1945:We live in a World created by Franklin Roosevelt and Harry S. Truman, and for the past 75 years, it has largely advanced in the right direction.
Compare that to the nearest Russian ground combat unit to the US homeland? I understand you believe the US is the "good guy" and in many domestic arenas I agree; however, in foreign policy the US is responsible for much of the instability across the Middle East today and Africa tomorrow.The nearest United States ground combat unit to Ukraine was nearly 600 miles away from Ukraine's border. Compare that
The US rebuilt the world after WWII because it was in the economic interests of rich Americans to do so. The Marshall Plan, for example, sent taxpayer dollars to Europe AFTER rich Europeans sent their fortunes to New York banks.The United States rebuilt Europe, Japan, Russia, China, after World War II.
Can you explain how the US has helped the economies of Iraq and Syria today? Millions of civilians in those countries have been deprived of their jobs, property, and lives in order for US elites to maintain control of global oil spigots. How does that qualify as making the world a better place?The United States helps the rest of the world maintain their economies, improve their standard of living, while preventing Rogue nations from committing the same actions and crimes that the AXIS powers
You should consider the possibility much of what you've been told about US foreign policy since WWII is just another lie the rich tell:You're not fooling anyone george, the United States has defeated the left wing agitators around the world and your post is nothing more than a surrender with the hopes that the lefts last gasp effort to stop us is here at home by making surrender look inviting to us instead of you.
Soviet forces in the north took no steps to block elections in 1945; the only force to do so was the US Army below the 38th parallel.It was t true
the soviet union occupied the north anf free elections there would be impossible

Syrian refugees top 2 million as thousands flee daily
"The number of refugees in Syria has surpassed the 2 million mark, the United Nations said Tuesday, in the ever worsening humanitarian crisis that has resulted from the two-year-old Syrian civil war.
"Almost one-third of the country's population has been uprooted, including internal displacement."
Maybe some of those "vast sums of money" from oil and arms sales should be taxed and spent on refugees?
For most of the last 100,000 years probably.When in all of history, has there not been war or the rumor of war?
