Can We Afford Ukraine?

- Ron Paul -

And before the US prattles on about Crimean secession and international law, yah might wanna review just how the North American colonies broke away from England back in the late 1700's.

Then there is the further nonsense about democratic coups being good versus democratic votes for secession being bad. And for those unfamiliar with the US Constitution, the word "democracy" does NOT exist in that document or its Amendments.

Just where the hell does the State obtain its authority over its citizenry? What happened to the consent of the governed? In the USA, the XIIIth Amendment made slavery illegal. Ergo if we are going to consider internationalizing US principles, had we not better listen to those most directly affected? Will we defend slavery of the citizenry by an onerous government because it is sanctified by international law? Isn't international law just an agreement amongst bullies? Where is it written that an accident of birth forces compliance with the illogical dictates of a bunch of bullies?

And yes, I fully understand that this is all about Ukraine making good on international debt. The US involvement is about profits and posturing. Without a bogeyman, the US citizenry might start noticing the emperor is an idiot. Idiot defined as incapable of learning. Just what wars has the US won since WWII and only then as a member of the winning Allied Forces team. Yet, the US continues to claim they have an invisible dog in every fight. Obviously there must be a learning disability involved in this decision making process.

Coming full circle, in the end it will be determined by the consent of the governed. Whether you be from Lithuania, Ukraine or the US, if the governed refuses being governed by the PTB, the governing body will be forced out just as they were in Afghanistan and financially beaten to a bloody pulp for good measure (see Great Britain, Russia and USA). If the Crimean citizenry says no to Russia, Putin would be wise to buy a few souvenirs, a couple of postcards and then put Crimea in the rear view mirror. When a governing body forgets about consent of the governed, it can quickly find itself following in the dreadful footsteps of Robespierre. One enemy can be dealt with, but 5 million is unquestionably problematic. Those 5 million will be driven by pro bono publico. And we had best not forget the public's unquenchable thirst for spoils of war.

Lastly hadn't we better review Crimean history before we entangle ourselves in their business? As an Alaskan, I'm fully cognizant of the historical background surrounding the sale of Alaska to the USA by Russia. Neither Russia or the USA can afford any entanglements in Crimea, Ukraine or the world in general.

Début de l'article :Officially, US debt stands at more than $17 trillion. In reality, it is many times more. The cost of the US invasion of Afghanistan and Iraq may be more than six trillion dollars. President Obama's illegal invasion of Libya cost at least a billion dollars and left that country devastated. The costs of US regime change efforts in Syria are likely thus far enormous, both in dollars and lives. That's still a secret. So who in his right mind would think it is a good time to start a war wit... Lire la suite
