Will they ask Christian Pulisic or Weston Mckennie what do they think about their country inflicting a genocide in Gaza and bombing Iranian kids? Why are these type of questions always asked to Asians and Africans?
In Venezuela, Exxon has been pushing for regime change, hoping to be paid out a $1.6b claim over expropriated property. In Cuba, they are suing for a payout as well. Not since United Fruit Co. has one company been so central to US interventionist policy in Latin America.
The widespread liberal rehabilitation and embrace of George W. Bush (and Dick and Liz Cheney) -- and then their whole circle -- makes a complete mockery out of everything they pretend to believe.
Everything they say about Trump now is what they said about Bush and Cheney then.
The US empire is waging a neocolonial assault all across Latin America.
The US blatantly meddled in Colombia's election. Trump and Marco Rubio backed the far-right, multimillionaire candidate Abelardo de la Espriella (a defender of fascist paramilitaries), and there are serious irregularities in the results.
Colombia's current left-wing President Gustavo Petro has been very pro-Palestine and pro-China. He cut relations with the genocidal Israeli regime and joined China's Belt and Road Initiative.
De la Espriella vows to form a close alliance with the US and Israel, and minimize relations with China. Just a few weeks before the elections, he was in Florida, meeting with far-right US politicians who are close allies of Trump and Rubio.
The same thing is happening across the continent. The US carried out a blatant electoral coup in Honduras, to put a drug cartel-linked, pro-US, pro-Israel, anti-China puppet in power.
The US is currently trying to steal the election in Peru, to put the daughter of the fascist former dictator in power.
The US empire already has far-right puppets in power in Argentina, Chile, and Ecuador. The leader of Chile is the Pinochet-defending son of a Nazi war criminal. The dictator of Ecuador is the son of the country's richest billionaire oligarch.
Brazil is the next target of the US empire's neocolonial assault, in this year's election.
This is the colonial Monroe Doctrine in the neo-fascist era.
"Controlamos entre el 60%-70% de la Franja de Gaza, estamos destruyendo toda su estructura, todo el mundo sabe lo que esto significa. Gaza se quedará en ruinas y los habitantes tendrán que migrar porque alli no habrá nada donde vivir en las próximas décadas".
Bezalel Smotrich, ministro de Finanzas de "Israel", habla orgulloso de la limpieza étnica y la destrucción sistemática que perpetran en Gaza, asegurando que el objetivo es hacerla inhabitable para que los palestinos tengan que huir de allí.
En mundo medio normal, después de que un ministro suelte esta barbaridad, tendría que ser detenido inmediatamente por crímenes de lesa de humanidad.
Plan was always for Starmer to sell the state to Palantir, absorb the backlash and cleanly handover to Peter Thiel’s “friend” Farage. Phases 1 and 2 are done. Doesn’t matter who leads No. 10 now. Burnham either eats his Israeli cum pie or he doesn’t get the keys.
The most powerful democrat in the country does not support the MOU and ending hostilities with Iran. Not coincidently Schumer (1) is the only democrat in the senate who opposed Obama’s 2015 Iran Deal and (2) told the NYT last year his job was to “keep the left pro-Israel”
Has any US politician made any attempt at being human here & just apologized or at least acknowledged that these people are humans who suffered atrocities committed by the US govt? Being "pro Iran" is still treated as treason for no reason.
