There are bloodthirsty monsters in the Senate. Maybe it has always been thus but since 9/11 they have sanctioned an orgy of violence–bombing, assassinations, torture, invasions and proxy wars utilizing al Qaeda and Nazi terrorists. Their latest human sacrifice involves the US proxy war against Russia in Ukraine where recent statements have dispelled any notions that Russia’s Special Military Operation was “unprovoked”. Indeed, they just can’t stop boasting about how this supposedly unprovoked war which the US is only backing out of its concern for democracy just so happens to serve US interests tremendously.

My senator, Mitt Romney (Mittens), called the US proxy war against Russia in Ukraine: “the best national defense spending I think we’ve ever done. We’re losing no lives in Ukraine, and the Ukrainians are fighting heroically against Russia,” Romney said. “We’re diminishing and devastating the Russian military for a very small amount of money … a weakened Russia is a good thing.”

Last month Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell argued that Americans should support the US government’s proxy warfare in Ukraine because “we haven’t lost a single American in this war,” adding that the spending is helping to employ Americans in the military-industrial complex. “Most of the money that we spend related to Ukraine is actually spent in the US, replenishing weapons, more modern weapons…”

Not to be outdone, in a recent article for the Connecticut Post, Senator Richard Blumenthal assured Americans that “we’re getting our money’s worth on our Ukraine investment. For less than 3 percent of our nation’s military budget, we’ve enabled Ukraine to degrade Russia’s military strength by half,” writes Blumenthal.

Look how happy they are at the results of their glorious proxy-war. I think Senator Blumenthal has a boner going, and Lindsey never met a war he couldn’t dry-hump from the safety of his closet. But Pocahontas? She looks like she has developed a secret crush on the heroic Zelensky.

Americans should be outraged at what these monsters are doing in their name. As Caitlin says: “War is the single worst thing humans do. The most insane. The most cruel. The most destructive. The most traumatic. The least sustainable. Those who knowingly choose to steer humanity into more war when it could be avoided are the worst people in the world, without exception.”

And of course the mass media is composed of the same blood-thirsty monsters. A few weeks ago the Washington Post’s David Ignatius wrote an article explaining why westerners shouldn’t “feel gloomy” about how things are going in Ukraine, writing the following about how much this war is doing to benefit US interests overseas: “Meanwhile, for the United States and its NATO allies, these 18 months of war have been a strategic windfall, at relatively low cost (other than for the Ukrainians). The West’s most reckless antagonist has been rocked. NATO has grown much stronger with the additions of Sweden and Finland. Germany has weaned itself from dependence on Russian energy and, in many ways, rediscovered its sense of values. NATO squabbles make headlines, but overall, this has been a triumphal summer for the alliance.”

While for the United States and its NATO allies, these 18 months of war have been a strategic windfall, at relatively low cost, it’s been a different story for the proxy.

‘Dying by the dozens every day’ – Ukraine losses climb, is posted at the BBC website. There has been a dramatic rise in Ukraine’s number of dead, according to new estimates by unnamed US officials. The reality of the scale of casualties is laid bare in Ukraine’s cemeteries. A year and a half into this war, few families here have been left untouched by grief.

No matter. For the fiends in the Senate they will wage the US proxy war against Russia to the last Ukrainian. Reportedly, the Western policy class knew Ukraine didn’t have the weapons or training necessary for success but hoped they would somehow triumph anyway. Now, with failure all but inevitable, after a year and a half of lionizing the Ukrainians, the brazen depravity of the of our Senators and their corporate media courtiers is on display for all to see: they have blamed the failure on Ukraine being too “casualty averse.” This implies, I suppose, that Ukraine should be casualty casual, and care about the lives of their troops even less than they have up to this point.

It was already well established that the Western proxy warrior class are monsters, but they have rarely exposed themselves as clearly as while talking about the young men they threw into the maw of Ukraine’s failed summer 2023 offensive.

As the Biden administration and Congress continue to pour billions of dollars into Ukraine as they pressure that unfortunate country into losing hundreds of thousands of lives in a war where the main beneficiaries are the holders of stocks and bonds in the U.S. military-industrial complex, we are also seeing disturbing news here in the Homeland.

Recent reports by the Centers for Disease Control that youth suicides and homicides for 2022 were at an all-time high. Added to more than 100,000 deaths annually from overdoses and the flood of fentanyl and crystal meth pouring across our open southern border, we are starting to look at a generation of young Americans with nothing to live for. 

What’s really tragic is that all the blood-thirsty bellicosity and constant warfare has left the US less secure, less respected and less powerful, all results that are anathema to the Straussian neo-con psychos in charge of US foreign policy who enacted their pet policies in the aftermath of 9/11 when the “gloves came off”.

The biggest loss was that of the traditional “soft power” that was always America’s greatest strength

And while Americans may not know about or understand the words that the bloodthirsty monsters in the Senate are articulating, you can bet the rest of the world does and is acting accordingly.

Update: The formation of BRICS and their recent addition of new members is a direct result of the neocon policies of world domination and endless war.
