No doubt “National Interests” like the idea of #freedom are a lie spun and paid for by the private interests of a fascist elite ground on the tyranny of their corporate sovereignty.

According to establishment pundits and politicians, countries have “national interests” they carry out in the international arena.

We are two distinct countries with our own regional challenges.
