It is convenient to see the evil boogie-man over-there. As if the USofA isn't a major player in creating and maintaining these conflicts.

It fits the USofA Saturday morning cartoon paradignm of the world —black/white good/bad.

Putin: Boris Badenov. Zelensky: some Marvel superhero.

(Biden: Mister Magoo)

"As an American" did you see the necessity to resist Vietnam, Iraq, Afghanistan . . . to name only those that made the news.

Did you whip up half the outrage you now do for the war in Ukraine?

Millions upon millions upon millions of dead. For what?

What about Bushism and Cheneyism and Wolfowitzism and Obamaism and . . .to name only some from the list of war criminals that orchestrate our invasions.

This war was avoidable - it was certainly provoked by NATO/USA - it could have been avoided - it could have been diplomatically derailed (but we have no interest in this - Lockheed Martin, Boeing, Rayheon and all their stockholders are loving it). And Ukraine will lose so so so much.
