U.S. Officials Believe That 'We' Are at War With Russia

Could someone please tell Sen. Lindsey Graham, one of the Senate's premier warmongers, that "we" are not at war with Russia? Ukraine is. The grandstanding warrior wannabe recently visited Kiev. The Zelensky government is under pressure to expand conscription to bulk up its army. Graham enthusiastically backed the effort. Reported the Washington Post: "'I would hope that those eligible to serve in the Ukrainian military would join. I can't believe it's at 27,' he told reporters Monday. 'You're in a fight for your life, so you should be serving--not at 25 or 27'." He insisted: "We need more people in the line." We? When did Graham accept Ukrainian citizenship and enter the Ukrainian Rada? Graham is one of many witless American officials who seem to believe that they are to represent foreign countries dealing with the U.S. rather than the U.S. in dealing with foreign countries. This isn't a new phenomenon. People often have been devoted to other nations reflecting their ethnic or religious background, supporting everything up to military intervention by Washington, often to America's great disadvantage. A commitment to ancestral homelands accounted for significant backing for NATO's ill- fated expansion up to Russia's borders. (So did the desire of the merchants of death to open new markets for weapons sales.)
