Who will greet who like liberators? Is this a troll post? You know neither of the invaders or their victims are us right? And that the russia genuinely thought the Ukrainians would greet them with flowers and parades. This is trolling right? Because I am telling you that freeing countries from the prison of nations is good for the American economy, which was your earlier complaint- do you have any response to that?

And what's particularly making my brain melt from your troll comment - is it your belief that ukranians are NOT in favour of America supplying weapons for their liberation? You think Ukrainians on the whole hate America for enabling their freedom fight? Wtf is this shit. Western Europe is aligned with America precisely because USA liberated them from the Nazis. Every year people gather in Holland to wave the American flag. But you think somehow Ukraine will resent America's decision to send aid?

Sorry I am not buying what you are selling. The average American isn't going to see any benefit from our taxes going to Ukraine, the only thing they will see is the dollar being destroyed, because our politicians will either borrow the money or just print the money to give to Ukraine. The only people who will benefit is corrupt politicians and 10% for the big guy Biden.

You say the Europe is aligned with America for liberating them from the Nazis. All I see from Europeans is contempt and hate for the U.S.A. I bet they can't even name one American buried in a mass grave in Europe, but yet they are all so appreciative.

This aint my first rodeo.

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

If this is news to you, you're going to be really surprised when you learn why Woodrow Wilson intervened in WW1. Or why the domino theory was a cause of concern in the 50s-70s.

I don't care what you think about Europe, your point was that ukrainians will somehow resent america freeing them from the prison of nations - if you're not going to develop that point or explain how it came into your head, then I certainly can't.

"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.
