The US has spent 30+ years shit stirring, dismantling Ukraine, running coups, and undermining Ukraine's relationships with it's closest neighbours. Now it's provoked a war and all gullible liberals can say is the same thing they said about the US contemporaneously with all its other wars.

The article in the OP demonstrates exactly what I and others like me have been saying from the start: the US is not involved to be the good guy, it has no moral high ground; it is only involved to make money, and no number of Ukrainian lives is too great a price to pay for US prosperity. The US is involved to steal as much Ukrainian wealth as possible.

It's not just the 'profit' from selling the weapons (which Ukraine will pay for, not the US, so there's no benevolence in it but self-interest). Every aid package is another tranche of the same kind of loans that the US has used to loot and privatise the country's assets for decades. The same thing the US does everywhere. The only difference now is the novelty of trying to physically destroy Russia's military at the same time.

It's a bit rich to say that I'm the one with a narrow minded view of geopolitics when you've reduced a 30+ year conflict to it's surface details. Events like this cannot be separated from the political economy or their historical context. It's clear that liberals still haven't learned to correct a flaw in their framework that was identified 150 years ago (source otherwise only indirectly relevant):

That in their appearance things often represent themselves in inverted form is pretty well known in every science except Political Economy.

Some people have dug beneath the appearance of things, whereas others accept them in their inverted form.
