(20,582 posts)I'm going to ask my Ukrainian uncle about the warmonger "slipper suckers" and how they purport to be on the left and see if he can explain to me the reasoning some here in the west are wishing austerity and ownership on them so badly. He'll believe it, we talk about this a lot and he tells me how people of Ukraine have basically been pawns for so many for so long. I believe the people pushing for it so hard in places all over the world benefit somehow personally from it themselves, how best to explain the absolute knowledge that an already suffering people will have escalated rates of suicides, infant mortality, abject poverty as in Greece and Spain? It's like every 'war' before it - the rich get richer and those who can least afford it (usually the children and women) suffer the most. That some 'on the left' are so happy to see it go on and on, is telling - the threads yesterday hoping for peace sunk like a stone while the "Putin-lickers!!!!!" threads are extremely popular. lmfao.
