1991: When America Tried to Keep Ukraine in the USSR. Today, nationalism is still a favorite bogeyman among Washington establishment mouthpieces. When nationalism is convenient for NATO and its European freeloaders, on the other hand, we are told that nationalism is a force for good.

White European nationalism, especially western European nationalism is what they don't like. You can have nationalism of country and nationalism of peoples. Just look at the way the media and opposition treat Marine Le Pen. It all depends on the ideology behind the nationalism. If it's for country only that's OK, but if it's for natives of said country that's a no no.

That’s because the rich people who run global corporations want a servant class. They don’t build up the poor countries but they allow immigration. People from poor countries immigrate to the first world to improve their lives. As immigrants, they have to agree to whatever their employers say so they won’t be deported. If they get uppity or receive wages on par with native workers they get deported.
