It makes the “we must save democracy” calls ring hollow when they’ll destroy it for 231million people as soon as a country doesn’t want to do what they demand.
If the liberals gave a shit about democracy they’d be all over this, but they’re not.

2 million dead 20 million displaced, this should be spoken off in the same breath as the holocaust
Large scale British lead genocide.

I thought this article was going to be fake when I first saw it posted because it hits so many - i don’t want to call them buzzwords - but current international political topics I guess.

Do you mind filling me in on what happened with the Grayzone? I’m a bit out of the loop on them.
Max Blumenthal is a weird anti-vax dipshit, likely because they provide more traffic and stuff to the site than actual leftists. I still appreciate the anti-imperialist news they do but every article they post now needs to be analyzed a bit before believing I’d say.
How anti-vax are we talking? Is it “Covid vaccine was rolled out too quickly and they didn’t check for side effects enough” level of anti-vax, or full blown “vaccines are fake and used by big pharma to control the population!” level of anti-vax?

It’s wild to think that if Iran-Contra happened today it would be no big deal.

It actually worse because the weapons deal in I-C was not directly providing hardware to the death squads, only funding as far as I recall.
This is inverted in that Pakistan is sending weapons to the new death squads in exchange for a loan from what I’ve gleaned.
Biden admin doing the Reagan but with more neoliberalism.
