I think this is what disaster capitalism looks like, isn’t it? Presumably there won’t be much left of Ukraine after the war, but what there is will be owned by US corporations & their local neoliberal allies. Which is why they’ve funded the war in the first place.

Create a disaster, then exploit it to asset strip a country. It’s hardly a new strategy. As the Iraqis could point out if anyone asked them. (Weird how we never hear about them now, isn’t it?)

This is a war that was provoked. It’s a war that never should have been started. Gamesmanship on all sides. Biden was not pushing for negotiations or a peace settlement, he was (I believe) absurdly seeking regime change in Russia. So stupid! And Zelensky will be playing Roosevelt in the Hollywood movie soon to be released. Once again, the people suffering under the yoke of these big ego “leaders” are the ordinary people--now homeless refugees. It’s obscene. And we sure appreciate all their sacrifices. The media has been pumping this war up so much! It’s deeply disturbing. Fighting for democracy again. Really?
