1. In other words greed sets foreign policy

while The 99% of Americans fall further into poverty and our children will earn less than us, in their lifetime.

Elect Bernie Sanders if you want to even have a chance.
Either that or lets start the revolution.

3. Excellent. Although I think that Col. Wilkerson underestimates the hostility on the part of many

Central and Eastern Europeans toward Russia. That hostility is the result of the unwelcome and overbearing presence of Russian troops and certain aspects of Russia's then ideology and social customs between the end of WWII and 1989.

5. CIA black sites have put a dent into the US relationship, at least in Poland

Poland wrestles with the legacy of a secret CIA torture site

The crisis in Ukraine may help convince Poles to close their eyes to alleged US wrongdoing.

...

Human rights workers and political analysts here say the case marks a seminal moment for a country caught between the influences of the European Union, the US and Russia, and is still struggling to develop democratic institutions.

“For the majority of Polish politicians and Polish society, the devotion to our relationship with America is constant,” says political analyst Jacek Zakowski. “But the question is what kind of America. Is it the America of Guantanamo? Or is it the America of freedom of religion?”
