U.S. Offers Ukraine 15-Year 'Security': Taxpayers Guaranteed to Pay
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy trumpets a proposed 15-year U.S. security guarantee for his nation, presented as part of a 'peace plan.' What NPR conveniently sidelines is that 'security guarantee' for Ukraine often translates directly into 'guaranteed billions for the military-industrial complex,' ensuring a steady revenue stream for Lockheed Martin and Raytheon. This isn't just about
Ukraine's defense; it’s about entrenching the U.S. as the world's arsenal, a pattern that consistently prioritizes arms deals over genuine diplomatic solutions. While the US pledges a decade and a half of support to Kyiv, one might wonder about the 'security' guarantees for American cities struggling with crumbling infrastructure or underfunded schools. The message is clear: U.S. foreign policy
frequently offers open-ended commitments to conflicts abroad, funded by taxpayer dollars, while domestic needs languish. How many 'peace plans' require 15 years of guaranteed military spending before anyone considers actual peace?
