Yes, but I would not be so sure that it would be better. Certainly there would be MILLIONS more Koreans, Vietnamese, and Iraqis alive today than there are now, Not to mention 300,000 Ukrainians.

I am Italian as well as American, and I can tell you that my fellow Italians are not so fond of the CIA (they pronounce it 'chee-yah'). Indeed, I am sure many of the older ones know that the very first "regime change" operation the CIA ran was to overthrow the Italian elections of 1947, to ensure that the Communists did not win. The US has meddled in dozens of countries all over the world, always replacing a left wing socialist/populist with a right wing totalitarian fascist, because the fascist was pro-Capitalism. Replacing Allende with Pinochet is just one example; replacing Mossadegh with the Shah was another. The latest was to replace Yanukovych with Yatsenyuk.

In fact, we already know how things will go in Ukraine after the war. Labor unions will continue to be banned; the country will be 100% financialised. Zelensky is already talking to BlackRock, Goldman Sachs and others. Ukraine will become a Neoliberal playground, just like Russia was in the 1990's. Pensions will all be invested in Wall Street'; there will be no State owned or publicly run entities AT ALL. Everything will be privatised.

The Ukrainian economy is already 100% financed by the Americans. That will not change. But "he who pays the piper, calls the tune," as we say. And the Americans' tune will be unbridled, unfettered, rapacious Neoliberal capitalism - complete with digital IDs, tracking, etc. In other words: perfect, soul-crushing, godless, fascistic 21st century consumerism.

A few Americans and their Ukrainian collaborators will become filthy rich, and everyone else will suffer.

And the WEF globalists will haver their perfect test case.
