The bottomless wallet always opens up for war.
because the money just goes from one pocket to the other
Slight correction: they have billions to hand to private companies who then give a pittance to the poor and needy while naturally cutting a profit and exploiting every loophole and every opening to increase their profits and revenues, because something something corporate efficiency?

The USA financed a coup in Ukraine which placed a far right wing puppet leader that the USA can control to use for NATO expansion and to threat Russia’s borders
Souce?
"Why care about other countries instead of focusing on our own" is often a manipulative way to say "let's allow xenophobia and sacrifice other nationalities to fuel our own".
And I'm sorry, but the guy in the last picture probably has it much easier than people going through the war in Ukraine.
The USA shouldn’t be funding wars abroad when it’s own people are starving and homeless. This is not xenophobia. That is common sense. The USA shouldn’t be funding wars period, actually.

Ukraine has a right wing government that dissolved all the other parties and which has Nazis platoons. That is fascism. The USA is funding fascism in Ukraine while Russia is trying to denazify it.
There was also a U.S. funded genocide happening in Dombass and Crimea that the Russians stopped. The USA doesn’t help against oppression. The USA exports oppression.

There was literally a genocide of ethnic Russians happening in Donbas and they asked Russians for aid which the right wing government of Ukraine just let it happen
It is a puppet government placed after the CIA backed coup of the democratically elected president. Banning all 11 opposition parties is literally what fascists do.
The Ukrainian units literally have swasticas and say Nazi rethoric and volunteers from other countries constantly complain of the virulent racism they experience.
Nazis are an existential threat to the Russian state as they have demonstrated by allying with NATO and causing a coup to the former elected president. That is why Russia has to denazi Ukraine.
Lol fuck that. Nobody in a bad spot wants to hear that some underage minority prostitutes in some bigoted religious third world country have it worse. There is *always* someone who has it worse, in fact this is one of the most common deflections when the marginalized ask for (literal) change.

“Everything that doesn’t agree with me is a troll”. I could literally say the same of the articles that you sent since all that western media and news sources do is lie and backtrack, and many times not even backtrack.
Missing frame is the government squeezing the cash out of the middle working class before tossing change to that poor man.
And comically large wheelbarrows of cash being delivered to billionaires
what a lack of class consciousness does to a mf

So you agree that regulatory capture is the problem, cool I thought you were just going to post some links im not going to read.
It’s not wrong to say regulatory capture is a problem, it just doesn’t go far enough. The US government was never *not* captured by the bourgeoisie, because the US was born of a bourgeois revolution[1]. The wealthy, white, male, land-owning, largely slave-owning Founding Fathers constructed a bourgeois state with “checks and balances” against the “tyranny of the majority”. It was never meant to represent the majority—the working class—and it never has, despite eventually allowing women and non-whites (at least those not disenfranchised by the carceral system) to vote.

2022 USA military spending: $812 billion
Not counting the black budget and clandestine income from drug trafficking and such.
tbh the same would be happening if they stopped funding ukraines defence and israels genocide. After all, helping poor people is communism!
