Heartbreaking: Here's what a U.S. soldier said when asked to justify the war on terror

104. Our intervention, especially when NATO is involved,

is always to serve unspoken strategic purposes other than simply preventing the loss of life.

We wanted to split (or "balkanize&quot the Balkans in order to lessen Russian influence in that region and bring some of them into the Western capitalist camp - the rulers of our world are constantly seeking new slaves to make their products cheaply and new areas for the extraction of profit. This is the same principle guiding our meddling in Ukraine - the new pro-Western Ukrainians will make good low-wage workers and the American elite can move in and profit (e.g., Joe Biden's son). Milosevic was too close to the Russians, and the Serbs fought against the Nazis during WWII, which is neocon history, was a sin. The Croats fought for the Nazis, so naturally we sided with them.

Any system which threatens the ability of the wealthy to exploit the poor and the natural resources of any given country for profit becomes an enemy. The rich, racist descendants of former Spanish colonists have always had the money and rule over the country, with most of the indigenous Indian and Black Venezuelans barely eking out a living, relegated to the dregs of society. Chavez changed that of course, and since the US has always backed the most racist, right-wing elements abroad, we immediately set out to undermine Chavez and his Bolivarian revolution.

I don't think you really understand how our government operates, 7962, because your understanding seems very simplistic and superficial. Or you may just like what we're doing.
