I’ve seen this rather odd trend with trump (and the media) where they are talking about plans for ethnic cleansing in gaza and taking mineral resources from east Ukraine.
But the US or its proxies don’t physically control Gaza or the Donbass, and nobody in the media seems to be talking about this rather important complication. Russia and the palestian resistance, for all intents and purposes, have won their respective wars (for now).
That’s the old-style colonialist/imperialist way of conceptualising the world. It’s just manifest destiny.
It just seems bizarrely delusional when viewed in first person. Even more so when the media, which is nominally anti-trump, just seems to go along with it.
the media is stoking the culture war fires to keep americans fighting as red and blue teams to distract from the top vs bottom class struggle; and it’s EXTREMELY effective.
