Ukraine hmmm

 Once again the US is on a war path. Suspiciously after ending operations in Afghanistan. Perhaps the timing of this suggests its more in US interests than Russian. If Russia was driving this they would have done it while US was preoccupied elsewhere. Plus in 2014 the US spent more on getting their man into power in Ukraine than is spent by all parties in the US election. Given than Ukraine 1/7th the size of USA that is a huge expenditure per capita on propaganda. And the US worries about other countries interfering in their elections ;-) It seems had Russia given Trump money and support that is just par for the game these days?

Now Ukraine is an interesting place because of its impressive agriculture and this led to protectionist policies. Bloomberg article from last year:

"Buying and selling of land was prohibited in Soviet times and then banned again in 2001, ..., because of fears that much of it would be acquired by the super-rich and foreigners"

That is just the general Socialist argument against Capitalism. Once you open up resources to free market the international wealthy imperialists just end up buying them and profiteering from them. You find your nation quickly changes emphasis from supplying a means of living and wealth to its people, to supplying profits to the wealthiest overseas foreigners. It stands to reason the richer you already are the more of the world's resources you can own and profit from, and the wealthier you will become, meanwhile the non-capitalists becomes less wealthy as a result. In general Capitalism is completely counter the interests of ordinary people like Ukrainians.

Does any one want to be ruled from abroad by foreigners who have only distant interest in the concerns of local people? Is this not what wars are usually understood as: defence of the realm from foreign invaders. And yet Capitalism through the back door does exactly this: it puts the country up for sale so foreign investors/invaders can take control of the country and profit from it.

Obviously this view of Capitalism never reaches our ears because all the media channels (in a Capitalist country) are owned by Capitalists! Its very much in their interests to find ways to sell the idea of a wealth elite owning everything as somehow good for ordinary people. In UK an important obstacle has been the removal of the national media BBC which is only part owned by Capitalists. It is the only braodcaster whose interests are not completely entangled with the interests of the Capitalist Rich International Super Elite (CRISE) 

Now in the case of Ukraine selling the country has been sold as "feeding the world." But why does the world need feeding? It has survived quite happily for 10,000 years why now?

Isn't it more that Ukraine is about to feed the Capitalists of the world, it is about to feed the CRISE?

So is this not America's real interest in Ukraine. Capitalism is faltering, it has run out of resources to plunder, it has faked growth and investor returns by printing too much money, there are no "wonder technological innovations" waiting to create new markets like dotcom and telecommunications have. In fact the dawn of things like AI and Energy Fusion will crash markets as labour and energy becomes cheap. More worrying with the crash of Capitalism the workers of the world are going to be left jobless. And since they have given up all their land and assets in forced sales like Ukraine is experiencing they will have nothing to fall back on to feed themselves.

They say that AI will create new jobs. But if that was true then employers would just employ people and not AI. The whole reason to employ AI is that it is more efficient than humans, reduces labour size and costs less, and that means Capitalists have to pay lower wages and that means lower income for workers. AI means lower income for workers full stop. Now things will become cheaper because of AI, but as usual its the Capitalist in the driving seat. They will need to lower prices so that starved part time workers can afford to buy anything and keep the economy going. But perhaps when AI becomes as versatile as human workers then human workers won't be needed at all. Only Capitalist owners of machines  will exist, and human drones will be surplus to requirements. You can just cull huge redundant swathes of the human population exactly like the Nazis did to inmates of the Concentration Camps who were too weak and ill to work anymore. This is the natural progression of all Right Wing thinking. Its not Nazism we needed to get rid of but the Right Wing in general who value economics and profit above human life. And that includes America and West. But that is exactly where Ukraine is going under US stewardship.

Now in India things are different. The country successfully kicked out the Western Imperialists and has run its own economy since 1947. Attempts by Capitalists to defraud the Indian population have not been successful. At the end of 2021 the government finally rejected the calls of the CRISE community to open up farm land to international investors and the government has done something unheard of in the West and actually represented its own people repealing the farming laws. India should be an example to Ukraine (and the World) of how it really can keep control of its assets and protect its people from international plunder by Western Imperialists.

However it seems that the US is not backing down. Whenever Capitalists fail they send in the army to destroy resistance. In the case of Ukraine the US propaganda puts all the blame on Russia seeking to add Ukraine to its Empire. Rather suspicious given that the USSR actually gave Ukraine away. But its a propaganda that rather doesn't work anyway since US just added Ukraine to its Empire in 2014. And when US says it is worried about invasion it itself then invades and moves its own troops into Ukraine. 

In reality it was the US increase in military activity since 2014 that has caused Russia to move its troop to its border in a defence move! Everything the US says is such obvious nonsense I'm amazed they bother to say it. And I'm embarrassed for Imperial journalists who are forced by Washington to repeat this nonsense. In the UK you have anchors on all channels reading nonsense all day. Whether they realise the ludicrousness of the words Washington has prepared for them on the auto-cue, who knows. I guess at the end of the day it pays their bills, its just a job, so they don't think about it. I wonder what the UK public who tunes into the NEWS thinks? Do they realise that the NEWS is just a "reality" TV show where everything is carefully scripted, rehearsed and created by scene writers?

 So anyway even a simple glance at Ukraine leads to "hmmmm". Ukraine is not so much "German Appeasement" but Iraq "45 minute claim."

And German Appeasement is a load of nonsense anyway. The Polish government pleaded with the UK to declare war on Russia after the Molotov–Ribbentrop Pact between Germany and Russia to share Poland. UK diplomats just came up with a load of technical jargon why only Germany needed to be invaded. And all these so called German "invasions" were across fake borders literally drawn on a map by French and British civil servants in 1919 after WW1. Germans didn't accept the existence of the fake country Czechoslovakia, or the fake borders with Austria or Poland. They were simply re-drawinhg their version of things rather than France and Britain's WW1 view. And Poland has historically almost never been a free standing country. It has been partitioned many times without Britain apparently rushing to its aid. I suspect the Allies gave Poland independence not for the benefit of the Polish people, but just to create a wedge in Eastern Europe they could use to start war again. How foolish the Poles to accept this agreement and become just a pawn in the West's long game against the East. Rather proven by the Allies who had supposedly expended so much time and effort to protect Poland handing it to the Russians as a spoil of war in 1945. Meanwhile US Empire took Britain and Europe as their spoil of war.

So really Hmmm its all a load of nonsense. This is why no one should ever fight, because it's all nonsense. If some government salesman ever convinces you to lay your life down for them just call that a moment of weakness, and remind yourself its all nonsense. After all if no-one ever fought then no-one would ever need to fight. We only fight because we are told someone else is fighting. And why are they fighting? Because they have been told we are fighting. Likewise in Russia they see the US build up of troops over the last 9 years and they mobilise their own troops. And when Russia mobilises its own troops then the US makes a huge noise about the apparent threat they pose. It's all nonsense.

So on all levels Hmmm. Stay strong Ukraine. Kick out the Americans, plicate your neighbours, kick out the Capitalists, save your country from foreign troops and investors and stay true to yourselves. #Ukraine
