  1.  @GrimLocke161  Most commenting on this thread have forgotten that the US invaded Iraq based on the lie of WMDs and killed 1 million Iraqi civilians over ~10 yrs. Then we accuse other countries of genocide or human rights abuses and the propaganda is so good most americans believe that propaganda. Like Vietnam the american people will not oppose this war until the american people are suffereing. The war hawks will have their way until then.

  2. Who is "we". The "we" who control the White house and congress are neocon war hawks.

  3. Peace activism would have saved 100,000 Ukrainian lives and 1/2 trillion dollars of damage to the country. And a cup of coffee. But the war hawks are much more powerful in the US govt, and more than willing to sacrifice the lives of every Ukrainian to punish Russia.

  4. They tried in april and Joe Biden sent BOris Johnson to nix the deal between Ukraine and Russia. Then a couple of months later the people in Ukrainian govt who wanted peace were fired. The State dept and CIA run Ukraine.

  5. In April Ukraine and Russia was near a cease fire and peace deal. The US sent Boris Johnson to Ukraine to nix the deal. Zelensky is nothing more than a puppet, he will sacrifice 100,000 of his people in a war he can't win just because the US neocons tell him.

  6. What is the end game, that the neocon war hawks have in mind? Very simple the economic collapse of Russia as the sanctions bite. The destruction of Ukraine and the deaths of 10's to 100 thousands of Ukrainians is a price the war hawks are willing to pay. The economic collapse of Europe from high energy prices will bring huge benefits to US oil ocmpanies and when Russian aluminium is sanctions to US alum producers as well. The economic collapse of Europe is to our benefit, those profits are larger than our donations to Ukraine. The war hawks have total control of the white house, they have 99% control of Congress and 98% control of US mass media. The US not just have the right, to tell Ukraine how to negotiate, the US totally control Ukraine's foreign policy, Ukraine is not allowed to agree to a deal with Russia. The US congress will continue to be super hawkish until the american people start demonstrating in the streets.
