Completely agree. Bullseye comments. Will the American people eventually do the right thing “after they’ve done everything else”?

It is a somewhat misleading to assume the US is a single entity, acting with an absolute unity of purpose and goals. It is a useful illusion when understanding the "what" of events as they unfold, but that causes the "why" of those events to disappear or to be discussed in such broad terms talk becomes meaningless. The components of US society should always be remembered. Of those components the one that has the power to actually "do" something is the Oligarchy. The Oligarchy is not a monolithic horde, but they control the Republican and Democratic Parties, which distract the population with phony issues like Critical Race Theory, LGBTQ issues and Abortion, while they funnel ever more wealth to their Oligarchic Benefactors.

Until the Oligarchy is destroyed, nothing will change. We need to go beyond just Gates, Musk and Soros, but also identify the Oligarchs who live in Ukraine and Kazakhstan who have bribed our politicians so they might continue to steal the wealth of their nations.
