🇵🇸 Jeremy Scahill says Donald Trump is not an aberration but “an extroverted representation of the most extreme and violent strands” of U.S. imperialism, arguing the current moment reflects the “dismantling of American mythologies” rather than a break with the past.
Speaking at the Global Decolonization Forum in Istanbul, Scahill said Barack Obama was the “chief normalizer” who bridged the post-9/11 “world is a battlefield” doctrine with the present.
On Gaza, Scahill said Israel’s push for Palestinian disarmament is an attempt to achieve “what they couldn’t achieve on the battlefield” - a “total surrender of the Palestinian liberation cause.”
“Their bombs, their technology… cannot compel that surrender,” he stated.
