And why do you think the US keeps playing this role in Europe? What possible motive could they have?

To keep spying on their allies like was uncovered years bacn and promoting their corporate interests, same as much of Europe does to Africa, I'm not sure how that diminishes the fact that US citizens suffering is fuling the budgets that Ukraine gets, I got no problem they get that money, but Europe could stand to give what they can and they have a robust health network, not a robust military complex. You act like the corporate neo colonialism is benefitting US citizens and easing their suffering when all it does is boost the stock market lining the pockets of those who funded the economic colonialism in the first place. The US is the last country on earth this Russian Invasion would materially effect yet they're doing more legwork than countries that can heard the missle blasts.

The global ruling U.S capitalists, and their compradores, plus their total professional managerial classes and small propertarians would benefit by that logic.

But if you work and live for just a wage, or are the lumpenproles, or "the poors, especially the homeless drug users", who, coincidentally make up our majority, well, that's utter piss for ye guys...

How very nice for the 10% or so of the population that benefits and was never suffering in the first place. It's nice to know that the rich in the US still get a piece of the pie.

Also, thats how every capitalist country works though, look at the industry in France or even countries in Scandinavia do the same thing to Africa. Their populations dont get much if anything from it, but their capitalist class does. None of that diminishes the problems either population feels, and we all know these capitalists are barely paying tax if at all. They practically not even citizens of wherever they choose to be.

Oh... ogey then, I think I got my mind in a twist of what I intended to say about them... (WTF was I saying)
