current events

If you want to understand imperialism

Take a lesson from current events

Note how control of the financial system is a weapon

Meant to destroy the Russian economy


Note how relentless NATO expansion towards Russia

In violation of assurances it would not

Can only be described as unprovoked aggression

Not the Russian military moving to try to stop the advance


Sanctions are a form of warfare against civilians

Intended to cause deprivation and suffering

Meant to cause mass unrest and uprising

Ignoring that it fits the definition of a war crime


The Ukrainians are being used against the Russians

With a surge of weapons sent to arm them

Making for heavy casualties in a more protracted conflict

And increased funding for the military industrial complex


Big oil celebrates anticipating a huge spike in profits

But the jump in the price at the pump will hit home

Driving up the price of everything necessary to live

Possibly leading to mass mobilization against the war
