WYSK: There funded by dark money PACS, but some good reporting has brought out these names: David Koch, Peter Thiel, Reid Hoffman, Mark Cuban, Harlan Crow, and Michael Bloomberg. Some of there members are most famous for stopping big bills. Joe Leiberman, for example, single handedly stopped the single payer portion of the ACA. Senators Joe Manchin and Kyrsen Simena kept the John Lewis voting rights act from passing, and famously kept the senate from repealing the filibuster.
So does Yemen, but you know what the US has been doing? Helping Saudi Arabia starve and decimate the country for the last eight years.
And your fellow Americans being neglected in order to fund all of this.
Dont forget funding Israel to do the same thing to Palestine that they say the Russians are doing to Ukraine.
They don’t speak of such things when a Democrat is in charge.
There’s a remarkable level of racism in the level of concern for Ukraine vs. somewhere with less white and European people like Yemen.
The war in Ukraine is definitely easier to market, and I think that’s why.
Great post. I feel for the people of Ukraine, the Russian aggression is not acceptable, but it is their war not our war {though we are doing as much as possible to make it out war).
There’s just a part of me that gets really frustrated with how generally ignorant our people are of US warmongering worldwide, and they see the nightly news broadcasts about Ukraine and they’ve bought into the narrative.
Reminds me of when Bush I pushed the lie about babies being killed in Iraqi hospitals in order to get more public support for his war, and the endless funding that came with it.
