Ukraine News Moves to page 6 w/ Matt Hoh

Where’s Ukraine going or coming to as we you know, I can make the point as well, and I didn’t think it happened. So know to the Ukrainians that the Afghans are going through right now, where as soon as you’re not politically convenient, as soon as you’re not politically useful, you will be pushed to the side and mean. As you said, there’s been almost no mention of Ukraine in mainstream media.

Wall Street Journal did have an article today about how Russia is launching an offensive in the Kupiansk region in the northeast part of the mean. So there was some mention that this thing is still going on. But yeah, I think you take a walk around your neighborhood, you don’t see the blue and yellow Ukrainian flags like it used to. This war against the Gazins, against the Palestinians, is the opportunity to get away from this failed war in Ukraine.

Just as I think as Halloween is coming up and Thanksgiving and Christmas, it gives people an excuse to take down their Ukrainian flags and put up a pumpkin flag or put up a Santa Claus thing or whatever. Right. It’s your way of getting out of that past support that you no longer want to own up to. I think what you’re going to see here as well, but the amount invested in this and the continuing amount of all these wars as this thing continues to roll forward, this militarized foreign policy.

Look at this cris in the House of Representatives, we don’t have a speaker. What does that come back to? It comes back to funding that $113,000,000,000 for the Ukraine war. But then overall too, what are we talking about? We’re talking about the national debt. And we’re going to spend $700 billion a year this year on interest payments on the national debt. You know what makes up the biggest chunk of that national debt? Past military spending and past war spending.

We’re spending hundreds of billions of dollars a year on interest payments for wars in the past, for military spending in the past. So all this has an effect, whether it’s on in terms of destroying people like the people of Ukraine, the Palestinians, the Iraqis, or in the sense of making things politically, economically and long term investment in the US. Impossible because we’re tied into these wars, into this militarism, into these defense budgets.

And it’s a racket. Joe Biden can beat his chest and do his best impression of how he is the second coming of Franklin D. Roosevelt or Churchill or whoever he wants to be. But this is what the rest of us have to live with, are the consequences of these failed wars and these trillions of dollars in military spending, which has delivered nothing except death and destruction was overseas.

A lot of pain for a lot of veterans and their families in this country. And of course, an economy that has been completely hollowed out. .
