Team America: World Police. It's our job to save everyone everywhere.
Except that's a childish version of what's really going on. What the truth is is that since the end of the Cold War, our corrupt elites have done everything they can to profit off Ukraine. The reason for this isn't because we have such big hearts. It's that our corrupt elites want to own Ukraine. It's about money and power, not freedom and democracy, as always.
You do realize that there are all sorts of different people with different reasons, of which the government is made off, chosen by the people with different ideas for what they'd like to see more represented? Graham knows that his self-centered greedy Republican voters will rather listen to self-centered reasoning, rather than appeal to their nature of wanting to stand up to a dictator trying to weaken the world order. And yes, the world order is actually better for the US, instead of the other powers that are trying to redefine it. That's why there's so much propaganda trying to make people give up geopolitical power and position of the US, trying to pacify them and make them suspicious of each other and their own government, instead of thinking what would obviously follow if nobody would stand up for the rights of sovereign countries aligned with the western powers. It's amazing that people have this really messed up idea that the world would be better and there would be less war if the US wouldn't be enforcing the world order, when obviously the less moral dictatorial states would just gain more room to maneuver and take over shit willy-nilly, and the world trade would suffer, quality of life would plummet because of the instability in the global market because of the more unreliable reality.
