EU/NATO are vassals and part of the same empire as America/UK. Basically, they're all the same side. My point is that if you're against NATO imperialism, this guy isn't who you're looking for. He just wants to be a bit less junior of a partner in the empire.

Jokes on him and the EU though, they're even more junior than ever before and getting further vassalized and de-industrialized and dependent on the USA.

Yet on the other hand, he says EU should hurry up at expanding and integrate Ukraine, Moldova, Georgia and others. He's pro-NATO, he just thinks the EU should have more of the muscle. Either that or he's just entirely full of shit.

It's the Northern Alliance that were the big opium producers, under US occupation. The Taliban actually banned and restricted it both before the invasion and after re-taking power.

At least Lincoln killed some slavers, at the end of the day, so I gotta give him some points for that

If it involves "an oligopoly, a cartel, or a monopoly" then it is not a "free market"

Markets unregulated tend towards oligopoly, cartels and monopoly over time. Free market is interchangeable with private autocracy.

welcome to monopoly capitalism, the inevitable end stage of free market systems

it's just very memorable and visceral how it was carried out

How does this make sense? They lose money from giving away free burgers and lose money from leavig Russia. Why would they do this? This is like when George Michael throws a banana away for every dollar he steals from the cash register

A reaction does not imply consciousness. Water reacts when it hits fire by turning into steam and putting out the fire. That doesn't make the water or the fire conscious.
