Summary
Donald Trump defended Russia’s massive missile and drone attack on Ukraine that followed his administration’s halt to intelligence sharing and military aid to Kyiv, saying Putin was “doing what anybody would do.”
Trump told reporters he finds it “easier” to work with Russia than Ukraine, claiming Putin “wants to end the war.”
While threatening vague sanctions against Russia on social media, Trump’s actual actions have targeted Ukraine, including cutting off military supplies and disabling Ukraine’s access to satellite imagery.
Ukrainian forces have reportedly suffered battlefield setbacks as a direct result of these U.S. policy changes.
Wonderfully said!
Indeed, when we’ve based our society around “get rich or die trying” and a constant state of misery is the motivator to work ever-demanding jobs with less compensation, and people are scared to lose the house over an ambulance ride…
The US practically molded the cartels’ success from their own policies. A cartel is simply violent unfettered capitalism, after all. They are destructively “filling a need.”
We could reduce or eliminate that need, but the State would rather crush their competition in the misery business.
It’s no wonder we saw the serious rise of the cartels especially around the 1970’s and onward, and that’s when the working class started its increasingly rapid descent.
