    Amazing that you’re being down voted for not wanting the US to commit blatant perfidy.

      People are emotional over this. They have lost the plot.

        I realized that the western slide into fascism was inevitable at the point when the entire western “left” fully internalized the fascist world view of no holds bared civilisational war between Us (the good guys) and them (the foreign evil), because They are the cause of all evil and thus anything we do to fight them is justified.

          I started noticing this when Russia was sanctioned and its assets freezed. What Russia did was wrong but weaponising financial system was a major breach of trust. A lot of countries around the world took notice and started repatriating gold and buying gold, moving away from the dollar. Now the US is panicking in a way and wants to maintain its hegemony.
