“On Tuesday the dementia-addled meat puppet who is still officially the President of the United States told the UN that he is working to bring a ‘greater measure of peace and stability to the middle east’, even as the US government pumps weapons into Israel so that it can continue its bloody massacres in Lebanon and Gaza. On Wednesday Pentagon spokeswoman Sabrina Singh told the press that “we don’t want to see this escalate” in Lebanon and that the US is working to ‘avoid a regional war’. Only an idiot would believe these claims. They are self-evidently false. Nobody who seeks peace finds themselves in a constant state of war. This is true of Israel, and it is true of the US-centralized empire as a whole. It is obviously false to say the US seeks peace in the middle east, but it’s not really accurate to say it seeks war either.” (09/26/24)
