Ukraine war was for the oligarchy. Administration justified the job creation of giving weapons, oil industry was funded with ammunition/profits to support Republicans and global warming denial, Europe subjugated to extortion and terrorism, and Blackrock has been able to buy up Ukrainian assets, especially farm land, at deep discounts, with Ukrainian loans likely to be swapped with more assets in the future.

Tech/AI oligarchy has been incorporated into "national security arms of fascism" with their competition suppressed, and Israel and low taxes for these ultra high margin tech oligarchs encouraged to fund the most pro oligarch candidate. Israel first oligarchs, which Biden/DNC pandered to, ensured the election result.

US extreme corruption of democracy for oligarchy and empire, including by Biden, as worst so far, is just firmly entrenched now that Israel supremacism is top US political devotion.

Biden campaigning in 2020: I'm going to put guardrails in place to stop all this corruption and this slouch towards fascism. I'm going to Save the Soul of America.

Biden leaving office in 2025: Why didn't anybody do anything?!?

Biden: I am a proud zionist, and we would have to invent an Israel (to destablize middle east). Russian objections to NATO expansion don't matter, because Russians want to be controlled by US.
