So much about “holodomor no food”, huh?

    I think looting Ukraine was a secondary objective to the evil empire whose main concern was crushing Russian ambitions of multipolarity. The plundering is just something yanks and their henchmen do by default when they go somewhere.

      They are opportunists -- but they've been running a conference planning the privatization of Ukraine for years: https://mronline.org/2022/08/01/west-prepares-to-plunder-post-war-ukraine-with-neoliberal-shock-therapy/

      I think the war serves both purposes, and it's something they've been trying to get to happen since before 2014

        Absolutely. Looting Ukraine and defeating Russia (and by extent weakening an ally of China) are not mutually exclusive goals. They dovetail very nicely with eachother.
