Mad empire

Why are western nations arming forces that include a large number of literal/neo Nazis, fueling war and bloodshed, risking nuclear Armageddon, and wrecking the fragile global economy (again) on which billions of us depend, all to try and prevent democratic self-determination for some people in eastern Europe, and force them to live under a neoliberal, Nazi-sympathising government that’s been bombing them for 8 years, (since a US-backed rebellion overthrew the previous, corrupt-but-democratically-elected government, and a separatist movement was ignited)?

Why is much of the general public supporting the expansion of an obscenely violent, aggressive, ecocidal military alliance - NATO -  that is an instrument of US power

Where are the calls for peace?? Personally, I’d rather support self-determination than arm Nazis and fuel a bloody war that could go on for years/decades. (Apparently that makes me an extremist Putin lover!!?).

It’s all quite insane/evil, but I guess that’s always been the nature of US Empire. 

Just as was the case with Covid, a root cause approach to the crisis in Ukraine is denigrated, because it threatens the powerful interests that run this mad empire and rely on it's continuation!
