Sea Breeze 2021 is just another way of starting a war with Russia

If your kids die, who cares?

 

US leadership keeps displaying ever higher levels of warmongering stupidity:

 

 

Ukraine and U.S. are cohosting the [Sea Breeze 2021] exercise in the Black Sea with participation and support coming from 32 countries in total:

 

Albania, Australia, Brazil, Bulgaria, Canada, Denmark, Egypt, Estonia, France, Georgia, Greece, Israel, Italy, Japan, Latvia, Lithuania, Moldova, Morocco, Norway, Pakistan, Poland, Romania, Senegal, Spain, South Korea, Sweden, Tunisia, Turkey, Ukraine, United Arab Emirates, United Kingdom, and the United States.

 

Black Sea nations, in concert with NATO Allies and partners, improve their ability to conduct the full range of naval and land operations by participating in exercises like Sea Breeze 2021.

Think about this

 

If Russia pulled a stunt like Sea Breeze 2021 near Cuba — or for that matter, anywhere in the Western Hemisphere — we would start shooting. But somehow, because it is us being 'slap your face with a sledgehammer' provocative inside Russia's backyard, this form of American-sponsored warmongering is okay. And no one over here pays any attention.

 

Yet, if the United States' shockingly incompetent leadership successfully ignites war with Russia, it will take our sons and daughters to fight, die and be maimed in it.

 

If the conflagration spreads to nukes — as it easily could in Europe — the rest of us are likely to cook also.

 

 

The moral? — Only supremely arrogant militarists act the way that the United States does

 

The motive behind inciting these strategically unnecessary and counterproductive provocations is always Military Industrial Complex greed. And because American culture always looks to the short term, it never occurs to Western corporatists that being obliterated will have a negative impact on the public that they bilk for profit.

 

'Stupidity' describes US leadership most of the time.

 

Self-destructive apathy describes the public's response to it.
