63. How can we go after Russia when our Invasions/Interventions in ME/SA/etc. are Documented.
Thu Oct 30, 2014, 07:24 PM
Oct 2014

It seems a "Pot/Kettle" situation in Global USA Dominated Interventions these days. We can no long claim altruistic "Bringing Democracy and Freedom to the World" with our bloody Invasions from Korea, Vietnam, on through Afghanistan where we funded the "Rebels" to fight Russia and onto Iraq,(gruesome), Afghanistan.(to get bin Laden),involvement in Egypt supporting toppling of our Western installed Puppet, Libya..(gruesome), Pakistan, Yemen, Somalia and now other African States on the pretense of "building Ebola Hospital Tents with our US Reserve Troops" and Nuland and Neocons going after Ukraine...and on and on and on and on.

This doesn't even get into how we sent our CIA and Ops into South America installing and toppling Governments there. And the Phillipines and anywhere we have a connection with WWII that we got a Military Base installed that we will protect...including Japan's Okinawa along with the rest.

YET WE ALLOWED Our "Free Trade Policy" to destroy our American Manufacturing and give it to China...so that our "Consumers" could BUY CHEAP as the BANKERS RAPED the Middle Class and Poor with Tech Bubble followed by Housing Bubble while jobs were offshored and Unions were Corrupted as the jobs left. Suckering people with Credit Card Debt by using Media to Manipulate Minds...so they bought houses, cars, stocks all on "promises" by clever marketers that the Bubbles would Never End...and using Credit Debt as a way to lure anyone they could find into the Debt Trap ....knowing there wouldn't be job growth or income raises in the low level Service Work Jobs that were taking the place of high paying Union Jobs...that were shipped overseas while we brought in HB 1 Visa Tech's from Other Countries to displace our OWN TECH Workers during the Internet Boom!

Ship the Manufacturing Out.......and the jobs go....and then people will be happy Serving Burgers and Paying Off their Debt.

I could go on......but, you are aware of this.

I stand by what I said to you.

It is "Pot/Kettle," (you are old enough to know the phrase). As to whether Russia or the West is the Worse.
