NYT Warns Russia of 'Costs' While Ignoring Its Own Receipts
According to The New York Times, US officials are ready to impose 'costs' on Russia if peace in Ukraine isn't immediately achieved. This narrative conveniently sidesteps the US's own history of imposing 'costs' globally, often without international consensus or clear benefit to the American public. While Hegseth issues warnings, the financial and human costs of previous US interventions, often
driven by lobbying efforts and defense contractor profits, remain largely unexamined by the same outlets. The US has already poured over $200 billion into Ukraine. Perhaps the Times could investigate who has profited most, or who funded the politicians pushing for endless war—as OpenSecrets.org readily does for domestic issues, if not for international 'peace efforts.'
