"Rules-Based Order" Means Rules For Thee But Not For We by Ms Caitlin Johnstone!

Listen to a reading of this article (reading by Tim Foley):

The "rules-based international order" that the United States-centralized power structure purports to uphold just means an order in which the United States makes up the rules and nations had better obey them.

Israels allowed to bomb an Iranian consulate, but Iran is not allowed to strike back. The United States is allowed to surround China with war machinery, but it would be World War Three if China ever tried to militarily encircle the United States. NATO is allowed to expand to Russias doorstep and amass proxy forces on its border, but the last time Moscow placed a credible military threat anywhere near the United States, the United States responded so aggressively that the world almost ended.

The "rules-based international order" that the United States-centralized power structure purports to uphold just means an order in which the United States makes up the rules and nations had better obey them. It means rules for thee but not for me.

Democrats are currently committing genocide, pushing through terrifying NSA surveillance powers, and working to imprison a journalist for life for telling the truth about United States war crimes, but it is very important to support Biden because if Trump wins, fascism might come to America.

The Assange extradition case is like if the mafia was demanding a snitch be extradited to Italy and multiple nations collaborated with them to help make this happen, except in this case the snitch is a journalist who told the truth, and the mob happens to run a global superpower.

The imperial media are once again trotting out John Bolton to help sell the idea of war with Iran. This monster belongs in a cage, not on camera. The fact that the mainstream western press keep having this completely discredited bloodthirsty psychopath on their shows to advocate every possible United States war proves that our entire civilization is diseased.

To call on Israel not to act in self-defense is reprehensible. By saying that Israel had a "win" simply because no one died encourages belligerent dictatorships like Iran to strike again. I would like to hear from one politician who would call for restraint if hundreds of missiles.. "please see here:"-John Bolton (AmbJohnBolton) April 15, 2024

Israels actions over the last six months have made it abundantly clear that President Bidens stated goal of preventing the outbreak of more war in the middle east and his stated "ironclad" support for Israel are two mutually exclusive positions. You can do one or the other, but not both.

Outside the mainstream press the news about Ukraine is a nonstop deluge of stories about how badly things are going for them.

Here are some recent articles from Antiwar.com:

"Ukraines Top General Says Situation on the Battlefield Has "Significantly Worsened"" discusses Ukrainian Commander-in-Chief Oleksandr Syrskyis acknowledgement that Russia is making steady gains and that the frontlines in Ukraine are at risk of collapsing wherever Russia focuses its offensive.

"United States General Says Russias Military Is Bigger Than Before Ukraine Invasion" quotes General Christopher Cavoli saying "The army is actually now larger - by 15% - than it was when it invaded Ukraine," an acknowledgement that Washington,D.C.s stated goal of using this proxy war to "weaken" Russia has failed.

"Russia Quickly Restores Oil Refinery Capability Hurt By Ukrainian Attacks" discusses how badly Russia is damaging Ukraines energy infrastructure compared to the damage Ukraine has been able to deal to Russias.

Here are a couple more from The Libertarian Institute:

"US Official Admits Ukraine Proxy War Failing to Weaken Russia" features an acknowledgement from Deputy Secretary of State Kurt Campbell that Russia has reconstituted nearly all of its military losses in Ukraine.

"Ukraine Tightens Rules on Military Service, Angering Soldiers" reports on how "Ukraines legislature advanced multiple new laws that tighten rules on conscription and extend military services for those already in uniform."

It is absolutely criminal how the west pushed this country into sacrificing a generation to a war they always knew was unwinnable.

1. Deny bombing the consulate
2. Say the consulate was not really a consulate
3. Say Iran better not retaliate against you for that time you bombed the consulate
4. Say you had no idea that Iran would make such a big deal about you bombing their consulate "please see here:"-Caitlin Johnstone (caitoz) April 18, 2024

So much suffering and loss has been caused by the way people decided a long time ago that killing one person is murder and therefore immoral but killing thousands of people is "war" and therefore fine. The actual act is the same; only the narrative and the scale are different.

Around the mid-1800s humanity began to notice it does not make sense for a small group of rich people to own everything and for everyone else to continually give that group labor, rent and expenses just to stay alive, and ever since then the media, the mainstream culture and the foreign policy of the ruling class have been intensely devoted to aggressively erasing this realization from humanitys memory!!
