Thank you for this well thought out and detailed piece.

I am of course frustrated/amused by the comments from computer keyboard warriors (boys) whose critical thinking ends by critisizing you for supposedly repeating Russian talking points while they parrot USofA military-industrial propaganda narratives.

I've written a lot about this war, and all wars, in the past year — and I always direct people to the amazing document written by Major General Smedly Butler in 1935, which holds so much truth about The War Racket.
