Default Not a Hero

I have one fiancé and 3 Friends in Ukraine. Ive personally spent several months in Ukraine over the last 8 years, at one point researching cashing out of the US and moving to Ukraine.

After much research moving to Ukraine was put in the circular file, aka trashcan. Why?

There's alot of reasons, One is that I did not want to become part of a Two class society, where 90-95% of the population has access to only 5% of the nations Capital.

Ukraine Currency has been on death spiral since 2014, Right after Pro Russian President was ousted on Lies. Also Noteworthy is that Before 2014 Russia Supplied Gas for Heat and cooking to UKRAINE FREE. How Nice was that? After 2014 Ukraine said we want Independence..yet NOTHING changed for average People, except everything cost more. No Extra freedoms....because Russia was NOT Hurting Most Citizens.

Another reason was how the Government handled the Eastern regions that wanted to "leave Ukraine" that have led to @13,000 civilian deaths. As a Reminder The US was responsible for 42,000 civilian deaths in Afghanistan. Neither is Good, and BOTH have been given a free pass by the UN. Why?

One of My Friends, who most likely is dead (Not hear from her for 1.5 years) , she lived in the Easter region Zelensky and past president have been shelling and shooting at. She told me of Horrors from Ukraine soldiers shooting people because they "think" they might be Russians.

The Chernobyl accident displaced hundreds of thousands of People and if you had to abandon your home you were promised 300 dollars for life. Past president and Zelensky have reduced this to 75 dollars.

Also Note that since Every western investment in Ukraine often does not use local labor, and most revenues leave Ukraine, they dont benefit Ukraine Economy. Poor remain Poor

Average Daily salary in Ukraine for 90-95% of population is only 8-17 dollars. Mind you the Upper class {@5%} are making 50-150000 dollars every year. How? Most products enter Ukraine with western prices, as Ukraine mostly makes food. This price has allowed the Upper crust to make Very Good Income since they sell products at Western Prices with Western Profits.

Most Ukrainians who visit USA Live in Kiev, or are part of the Upper Class. They have a very different position and view since they have access to money and Visa system.

My Friend Nikitta and His Wife Anna Moved to Crimea before so called "Russian Invasion" Their Lives have improved greatly as the Invasion was 5% Military and 95% Business Investments and Moscow rebuilding neglected Infrastructure.

Then we have the VISA problem. For an average Citizen its impossible to get simple travel visa to USA. To get this visa you must prove to Ukraine that you will RETURN. This can be a Big amount of money in Ukraine Bank (>4000 USD) or if you own property! Mostly Impossible for average Citizen. So Most can Never Get Visa to Enter USA

Ukraine requires NO Visa for US Citizen to Enter Ukraine, BUT USA requires a VISA for Ukraine Citizen to Enter US. (Not friendly say many Ukraine Citizens)

Since the Rich class need to keep salary for workers low, they work with Govt to Keep People in Ukraine and restrict travel to USA, and of course USA do what Ukraine asks. This is Facism

So Im NOT in support of Russian Tactics or Military action. But there's alot more to this event than I and We Know.

America has always embraced imperialism, even with war. We accept there will always be other imperialistic powers that would expand over areas if we didn't, and regardless of the pain we impose on them, in the long run western ideals are the better option for them.

There are reasons why the EU still refuses and has refused since many years to let Ukraine into the club. Sympathy and pity now due to the war has nothing to do with the shady ways of the state and the dominance of the oligarchs.
We should give them all war-related support we can risk.

But I am still against EU membership and NATO membership. But cooperation and support outside these organisations. Military aid generously, economic aid carefully controlled and based on conditions to keep corruption and organised crime out.

At least i guess this is what he drones about, not sure.

When Zelenky did not follow Trump's "suggestions" in this infamous telephone call, as an answer he did not get as much economoc and military support as he had hoped.
And what was that you said about me ?. Somebody has to eat a Crow and you can start at it's beak feet and work your way up.
