Tom Cotton Admits The United States Does Not Actually Care About Spreading Democracy by Ms Caitlin Johnstone!

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

It is not very often you hear a United States empire manager come right out and admit they only care about planetary hegemony and that their whole schtick about spreading freedom and democracy is a sham.

Warmongering senator Tom Cotton made an interesting comment during the confirmation hearings for Tulsi Gabbard the other day which acknowledged the mostly unspoken truth that the United States government cares less about whether the nations it partners with are free and democratic than how well they serve United States interests.

"In a fallen world, we have to take our friends where we find them," Cotton said. "No question, stable democracies make the most stable friends, but what matters in the end is less whether a country is democratic or non-democratic, and more whether the country is pro-American or anti-American."

"I will confess that those views may be somewhat unconventional, but look at where conventional thinking has got us," Cotton added.

Far from being unconventional, the senator from Arkansas is simply stating out loud the standard foreign policy orthodoxy which all Beltway swamp monsters share but tend to keep between themselves. It is not very often you hear a United States empire manager come right out and admit they only care about planetary hegemony and that their whole schtick about spreading freedom and democracy is a sham. They will pick a United States crony dictator over a sovereign democratically elected leader ten times out of ten.

Just something to keep in mind the next time United States warmongers start clamoring for more regime change interventionism in a strategically valuable country in order to liberate its people from tyranny.

Donald Trump has continued to push for Jordan and Egypt to take in Palestinians in facilitation of the ethnic cleansing of Gaza, and is adamant that both nations will eventually accede to his demands.

The president told the press on Thursday that despite Jordan and Egypts rejection of Trumps plans, "They will do it. They will do it. They are gonna do it, okay? We do a lot for them, and they are gonna do it."

The Donald Trump administration faces many obstacles in trying to force this agenda through, but they do appear committed to the idea that they are going to be able to see this crime carried out to completion.

Biden destroying Gaza and then Trump working to ethnically cleanse it is such a classic case of the jab-cross combo that Democrats and Republicans employ to advance the agendas of the empire. They do not just do evil things, they set up the other party to inflict new evils.

We are also getting reports that Donald Trump plans to withdraw United States troops from Syria. I actually believe this will probably happen this time, unlike Trumps empty talk during his previous term, because now the job is done. The illegal United States military occupation succeeded in depriving Syria of its oil and wheat, keeping it impoverished and weakened so that its government could be overthrown. They did that. Now they can leave.

Israels supporters have been expressing elation online about the Trump administrations rushing D9 bulldozers to Israel whose shipments were reportedly being delayed by the Biden administration.

It says so much that bulldozers play such a prominent role in the Israeli military. Ever notice that?

You hear about IDF bulldozers in Gaza as often as you hear about tanks and drones. Other militaries employ bulldozers for various purposes, but it is not a major feature of their war machinery and you generally barely ever think about it. For the IDF it is one of their main weapons, because their primary military objective is demolishing an undesirable civilization.

Democrats seriously seem to believe everyone is just going to forget that they spent 15 months ignoring, making excuses for, and outright supporting a genocide. They think all the outrage over Trump is going to magically erase what they did from peoples minds over four years.

From what I am seeing, I really do not believe that is going to happen. I think permanent damage has been done, especially in the eyes of young people.

I think people will focus on Donald Trump because he is the president now and his abuses need to be criticized, but I do not think they will ever forget the way Democrats exposed their true face through 15 months of mass atrocities.

I doubt very much that many of those who sincerely dedicated themselves to opposing the mass slaughter in Gaza will ever again go back to viewing the Democratic Party as the lesser evil, or seeing it as in any way separate from the enemy power structure they now know they must destroy.

There is an unearned pompousness to the way Democrats are herding people into opposition to Trump. Attacking those who they feel failed to support Kamala with adequate enthusiasm. Mocking the Muslims and immigrants who stayed home or voted for Jill Stein for the abuses they will face under the Trump administration. They are just like "Yeah yeah, Gaza Gaza Gaza, whatever, time to fixate on Trump now everyone."

And I just do not think anyone is buying it.

I think eyes have been opened that will never again close.

People were taught a lesson that cannot be unlearned.

They are going to be unpacking the political consequences of the Biden administration for many years to come!
