    You know why you can't say "no" to this war in America? Because it's a war to give the dying empire chemotherapy:

    1. Wrest back some of that falling rate of profit by taking over Russia's gas market

    2. Balkanize the one country that has more nukes than the USA by putting it in a forever war with its former soviet neighbor

    3. take advantage of the chaos in the Ukraine to push through more IMF loans with the US as the creditor and Ukraine as the debtor

    4. take advantage of the energy and food insecurity in Europe

      More importantly if the war goes long enough it will allow the americans to canibalize european industry.

        Honestly IMO this is the real objective. Europe was getting pretty uppity and thinking they could make their own policies with Russia and China. Big Uncle Sam came in and punished them hard by destroying Nordstream pipelines. Now European industry (unlike the USA they still have industry) is going away, permanently.

        On one hand USA bad. On the other hand, it couldn't happen to a more deserving group of despicable rats.

      It's also a "no" that gives you your own chemotherapy :cia:
