Lindsay is absolutely nuts. If the US didn't start the war access wouldn't be an issue. He will grab at any issue to justify more war and killing more Russians which is what he delights in. He is a very sick person and a public disgrace.

❓HOW can these researchers expect to be granted ANY Credibility at all, much less to be revered as “Experts” if they never even broach the subject of DCs PREDATORY Role in INCITING CIVIL WARS for the purpose of GlobalDomination via Engineered EconomicApartheid❓

▪️Overthrow: 100 Years of U.S. Meddling & Regime Change, from Iran to Nicaragua to Hawaii to Cuba

By Democracy NOW! March 12, 2018

By one count, the United States has interfered in more than 80 foreign elections between 1946 and 2000.

*And that doesn’t count U.S.-backed coups and invasions.*

We speak to former New York Times reporter Stephen Kinzer, author of “Overthrow: America’s Century of Regime Change from Hawaii to Iraq.”

▪️ During the 1970s and 80s, eight US-backed military dictatorships jointly plotted the cross-border kidnap, torture, rape and murder of hundreds of their political opponents. Now some of the perpetrators are finally facing justice

▪️House Passes $1.6 Billion To Deliver Anti-China Propaganda Overseas

Somehow it’s a crime when Russia does it to us, but good 'information ops' when we want to discredit Beijing’s Belt & Road initiatives worldwide

What a surprise.......US only attacks or helps countries make war because of it's supply of precious minerals!

Won't mean anything soon after BRICS gets going. US will not be able to afford them or make new wars!

"....A 2015 academic study by Western scholars found that foreign intervention in a country's civil war is 100 times more likely if that nation has large oil reserves and other natural resources....."

First of of all, those civil wars dont randomly happen. From places like Congo/Katanga/kabinda, to Nigeria/Biafra/Niger Delta/Boko Haram, Libya, Myanmar, Syria, Ukraine and countless others, those civil wars are stimulated by western powers looking to break these countries up.

And then after stimulating the civil wars, they make "humanitarian" interventions which are of course anything but.

Its also instructive to look back to the start of the 20th century when "humanitarian" narratives were the cover for the SAME countries taking colonial control of Africa for example:

Today we have the colonial army (NATO) doing exactly what the European forefathers did for a long time. And as Craig Mokhiber noted, they have the same colonial gang at the UN blocking all attempts to end colonialism: https://fpif.org/weog-the-uns-settler-colonial-bloc/

Nothing has changed really. Except the target victims in the global south are wising up and banding together to resist more often now.

Halford MacKinder's Heartland theory is still alive and well!

Ukraine is the middle man for arms smuggling and arming with new weapons terrorists hired to overthrow governments.

Lots of the weapons given to it to fight Russia are turning up in Africa and in the Middle East.

This is something which started from before the collapse of the Berlin Wall.

They even made a movie based on true story, it’s called “lords of war”, same cabal is doing the same thing today.

Meanwhile, soldiers are being slaughtered, people are forced to abandon their homes, and land is being repossessed and sold by black rock and its subsidiaries.

Dont overlook what's going on in Mali right now.

Previously the have had US troops in there claiming to help them stop attacks by insurgetns supposedly "jihadist", but curiously the US never stopped the attacks and "jihadists" seem to pop up where they are convenient to the US, from Moscow, to Syria, to Libya, to Nigeria and Mail

So the Malians kicke out the US troops and their drones. And well wouldn't you know it: a massive attack a day ago by the jihadists:

https://www.theguardian.com/world/2024/sep/19/jihadist-assault-on-mali-capital-bamako-killed-scores-of-people-say-security-sources

which the colonialist media quickly derive as "jihadist" with zero examination or detail of how exactly these armies roam free when the US has satellites and drones that can find a can of coke on a given piece of land. or how curiously the "jihadists" attack the Russian troops that are helping the Malian government, with US-supplied weapons, via Ukraine.

And of course what does Mail have: some resources the western colonialists are desperate for.

Lindsay Graham is a dangerous psychopath.

Lindsey's head appears to be in a Vonnegutan time travel mode. The accepted consensus in the late 1940s was that the US had lost China to the communists. No one today seriously believes that China was in the possession of America. Lindsey does not want to give Ukraine's perceived wealth to Russia and China: this is certainly to his credit, but the Senator's loafers get a little lighter when we realize that it's not his to give, or even hold for that matter. And as we all know: it's the holding that really matters.
