Americans Might Be Willing to Sacrifice Ukrainians, but our American Future? For What Exactly? "Freedom" for Whom?

 Russia’s foreign minister, Sergey V. Lavrov, contended that the United States and the European Union, by supplying more powerful weapons to Ukraine, were waging a proxy battle against Russia, regardless of the cost in civilian lives.

The flow of weapons from the West, Mr. Lavrov said, had nothing to do with supporting Ukraine’s sovereignty, but rather would enable the United States and the European Union to battle Russia “to the last Ukrainian.”

The fuel shortages in Ukraine followed Russian attacks this week on Ukraine’s main producer of fuel products and other large refineries. Russia said it had also hit storage facilities for petroleum products used by the Ukrainian military.

A senior Pentagon official said these types of attacks were intended to undercut the Ukrainian military’s ability to “replenish their own stores and to reinforce themselves.”

In response, officials in Kyiv, Ukraine’s capital, urged residents to use public transportation rather than private vehicles to save fuel. “We need to keep in mind the needs of the military and our defenders,” the city’s administration said.

ADDED:   The whole world will suffer -- those relying on Ukrainian wheat to eat;  those relying on Russian gas for heat (wait 'til next winter, Europe! -- oy!); and Americans who are sending billions and trillions abroad.  That's YOUR future being spent abroad, young Americans?  Are you all in for this war, really?  Wouldn't you rather invest those funds in your own?  Your own children, your own country?

Where are you speaking out on this to your political representatives?  Just going along to get along... (?)  I'm amazed people are confident in ole Joe (and don't see past him to the people calling the shots), dragging the country into a war we don't need and don't want.  I suspect... battling Russia; they assume it will be like taking on the desert countries... it won't touch us here, or elsewhere in the world.  Haha.  Russia is a biggie -- well integrated in world trade, the way Afghanistan/Iraq/Libya/Syria and the African nations are not... It WILL affect the world economy.  Why not live in peace, instead, investing in our own country's future???

Plus, do YOU really like having Military Might ruling your country?  Or would you rather be ruled by logic and reason?  Nothing good happens when U.S.A. worships the Gun.

Again:  anybody can destroy and destruct.  It's the builders and the thinkers, the planners and the do-ers who will always have my respect.  America of late is too obese and trivia-focused for our own good.  It shows.  We can't live, untouched in denial, forever...

The effects of destroying Ukraine cannot be contained.  You get that, right?

Hard times and human suffering ahead, globally!  (no, not for you and yours, of course!*  ;-)  Let them suffer, eh?  And eat... bullets for breakfast, as the War Machine grinds on...  This is just sad.  #ChooseLife
