Wrong Leader, Wrong Country, Wrong People
Nov 3, 2024
The same neo-liberal and neo-conservative factions of the US/Western power and money structure are reacting to the Russian invasion of Ukraine as they did to Trump’s electoral victory in 2016. Disbelief has been followed by overreaction and escalation. Why? Because neither event fits the historical narrative of big “P” Progress. The election of a “rich, racist and misogynist” white man should not have followed a two-term presidency of the likes of Obama. Similarly, neither invasions nor wars should be waged in and by countries populated mostly by white people anymore. They are “supposed” to be fought in countries that have little or no market value, by people with darker skins who have little or no worth.
