The American ruling class and permanent war

What are the thoughts, opinions, and issues of America's ruling class?

People may disagree on that, 
but I think those are indicated by a combination of 
the Washington Post, the ADL, and the Democratic Party.
Obviously, the policies in America aren't exactly those favored by any of those, but in many respects they are pretty close.

Now let us consider the issue of permanent war.
The Washington Post and the Democratic Party are clearly hellbent into getting the U.S. into a conflict with Russia.
You can read in numerous sources about how the Ukrainians are visiting destruction on Russia and Russians.
While some of that may be delivered by drones which were not made in the USA, much of it is delivered by delivery vehicles which were made in the USA:
HIMARS, ATACMS, and so forth.

And what does Kamala Harris say about Ukraine?
Take a look:

"Harris reaffirmed her support for Ukraine against Russia's war of aggression, 
in addition to strengthening relationships with fellow NATO members

"As president, I will stand strong with Ukraine and our NATO allies," Harris said."

Don't expect any peacemaking from her.

Now, why does she take that position?
Well, I certainly don't talk to her, but let me make a surmise:
That is exactly the position that the principal donors to her campaign want her to take.
As to how rich they are, see this:

"Harris’s campaign has raised $540 million since launch, Democrats say

...

Two-thirds of the first-time donors were women, the campaign said."

$540 million?
Wow, that's a lot of money.
That should buy a lot of TV ads.

Interesting choice women are making.
I can certainly understand their interest in their reproductive rights, 
but should that have priority over putting the U.S. into permanent war?
Their choice.
We can see the issues that are deciding elections.


As to my view on this,
I think American missiles have no more business being in Ukraine 
than Russian missiles have being in Mexico.
That is definitely a conflict America did not, and does not, need to get involved in.


America's involvement in the Russia-Ukraine conflict is totally unnecessary.
The only reason we are involved is because some people in America have ingested a deep and apparently unshakable hatred of Russia.
