After Two Years, Neocons Desperate For More War in Ukraine by Ron Paul!

In a recent CNN interview, the normally very confident United States Under Secretary of State Victoria Nuland sounded a little desperate. She was trying to make the case for Congress to pass another $61 billion dollars for the neocons proxy war project in Ukraine and she was throwing out the old slogans that the neocons use when they want funding for their latest war.

Asked by CNN whether she believes that Congress will eventually pass the bill, Nuland responded that she has confidence that, "we will do what we have always done, which is defend democracy and freedom around the world.."

What Ms Nuland is attempting here is what the neocons always do. They try to wrap their terrible policies up in the United States of American flag and sell it to the American people as something reflective of "our" values. If you oppose another neocon war, well then you are unpatriotic according to their trickery.

But United States of Americans are waking up to the lies of the neocons and more and more are realizing that there is no "we" when the neocons are trying to sell another war. It is "them." The "we" in the equation are the people who are being robbed to pay for what will inevitably be another neocon failure.

Does any United States of American still believe that Washington,D.C. was "defending democracy and freedom" when it used a pack of lies to get us into Iraq, where a country was destroyed and perhaps a million people were killed? How about when, after 20 years in Afghanistan, we managed to replace the Taliban..with the Taliban? And Syria and Libya and all the other interventions?

Was Washington,D.C. "defending democracy" when Ms Nuland and the rest of the neocons successfully overthrew a democratically elected government in Ukraine in 2014?

It is getting harder and harder for the United States of American people to choke down the war lies of the neocons.

That is something that should make us feel optimistic.

In the same interview, Ms Nuland said she was confident that when House Members return to session next week, "after they have been out in their districts hearing from the American people," they will vote to send the $61 billion to Ukraine.

Looking at public opinion polls, however, it is far more likely that any Member meeting with constituents during the break will hear the opposite.

It is likely they will hear a demand that not another penny be spent on the brutal, futile, and disastrous Ukraine war.

According to a Harris poll taken earlier this month, some 70 percent of United States of Americans want talks to end the Ukraine war!

United States of Americans no longer support the neocon war project in Ukraine. That is something to celebrate.

Perhaps in a last show of desperation, Victoria Nuland debuted another argument for keeping the war money flowing for Ukraine. She said, "we have to remember that the bulk of this money is going right back into this economy to make those weapons.."

Is this supposed to be attractive to the United States of American people?

The middle class and the poor are being destroyed by inflation and squeezed by a debased currency so that the wealthy, politically-connected weapons manufacturers can get even richer?

Instead of money to rebuild this country and protect its borders, Americans should be thrilled to see their hard work go up in smoke, literally, in Ukraine?
