Debt payments include an amount of profit and the indebtedness can be used as leverage to force policy that is contrary to the common good but rather beneficial to the few:
“Contrary to the myth many hold true in the West, it is poor countries that finance the rich. Debt became a weapon of class war and allowed the enemy to turn the world into their occupied territory.”

Brittney Griner’s family may have been happy and relieved by the exchange but I can only imagine the corporate criminals who fueled Viktor Bout’s terrorism are glad he’s gone. Some of us probably are related to a service member or new a friend who was killed by American weapons makers acting through Viktor Bout. Biden’s exchange was a win win.

“Does anyone *STILL* not realize the insane amounts of propaganda being shoved down our throats regarding this war???? Holy crap, enough already. Zelensky sucks. He’s a fake, hypocritical anti-Palestine neoliberal who hates leftists with a passion. He’s a very rich capitalist who literally banned all communist and socialist groups in Ukraine. He is A-OK including the openly neo-Nazi Azov Batallion in his government’s military—arming, training, militarizing, and empowering them. Zelensky doesn’t care about working class Ukrainians or any working class people. And Time also honors “the spirit of Ukraine.” Just stop for a moment and imagine if they would EVER do this with any nation of predominantly non-white people. Imagine for a brief second if they had “the spirit of Palestine” on their cover. This is all bullshit, and the U.S. has been meddling in Ukraine for many years, trying as hard as possible to provoke Russia and to make sure they had their little puppet, pro-U.S./pro-NATO government in Ukraine.”
