Dennis, I could argue with every point you've made and provide the facts to back it up, but it won't change anything. I know it's unfathomable that the news sources are misleading, and I appear illogical, anti-US, or ignorant for refuting the dominant narrative plastered all over the media. It's not enjoyable in the slightest, yet if I can see it, others can or will see it, and maybe, we'll realize the fight isn't against each other.
When Obama maintained the wars, Guantanamo bay, trickle-down economics, and Wall Street's power, I blamed the Republicans, thinking it was one evil party, and I defended the US, believing it was more good than bad. However, Republicans are a small fraction of the problem, and I didn't grasp it until I let go of my biases.
Every Act or legislation our government passes and the conflicts, coups, and global agenda they pursue aren't for us because they don't represent us. They can't pull out of wars, close illegal torture centers, or fund housing for Americans because their job is to maintain wealth for those who own weapon manufacturing, private detention centers, banks, etc. Universal healthcare is less costly but less profitable for private healthcare owners, so we'll never have it.
Our government sanctions countries for nationalizing resources forcing countries to implement free market hell, and supports wars all over the planet to benefit a small minority. Defending democracy is nothing more than enforcing free market capitalism, and any country that pursues sovereignty or defies the US-rules-based order endures harsh consequences.
The US forces Ukraine to pay for an IMF loan while the nation fights a war that the US finances, but the money isn't for Ukraine. Billions feed US weapon manufacturers, private security forces, defense contracts, and god knows who else. We pay for it, yet we can't relieve Americans from student debt because a private lender threatened to sue the Biden administration.
We need enemies because they're profitable. The Soviet government was a villain because socialism threatened capitalism, and Russia neatly fitted the role the Soviets left behind. Not only do we need enemies for profits, but we can't have Russia and China threatening US hegemony, competing for wealth. So, we instigate conflicts like visiting Taiwan to poke China, encouraging a violent end to the Chinese civil war 70 years later.
The US (or whoever) is intelligent and calculated, yet predictable. So, if you know the US' objective and pay close attention, you know what's coming because the media tells us. Unfortunately, it doesn't report the historical background or the US' involvement, but the detailed information is in the official documents, which are public.
