"The average American will benefit from the liberalisation and capitalisation of foreign markets."

You keep saying that, but I have never seen any evidence of our intervening in other nations ever benefiting the average American. WWI and WWII interventions didn't help out the average American in any way. Just death, liberating people who despise them.

Ok so seeing as you don't consider indoor plumbing, the internet, domestic electrification, mass transit, modern finance to be of any benefit to the small American consumer - I take it you're dictating these messages from a wooden shack somewhere in the 1940s?

None of that shit,ndoor plumbing, the internet, domestic electrification, mass transit, modern finance, was because we got involved in other countries bullshit wars.

Oh so you think that Americans would be in exactly the same place if Europe +Africa was controlled in its entirety by the Nazis and asia by japan. That's an interesting theory but I find it quite retarded to be honest.

Or we go back further and the British empire and kaiserreich control most of the planetary landmass, tariffing American goods up the wazoo through Imperial Preference. It's your theory that small town American consumers would be in exactly the same financial place if America didn't militarily ensure free market capitalism? So if you're not a free market capitalist, have you developed your own economic theory?

Anyway you forgot to explain why you think Ukrainians will resent america for providing weapons for their liberation. Just skipped right over that, didn't you.
