JOHNSTONE Caitlin Johnstone and Tim Foley

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

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

So they're really doing it. The Biden administration is really ignoring Australia's request to end the case against Julian Assange, and they're proceeding with their campaign to extradite a journalist for telling the truth about US war crimes.

The destruction of Gaza proves the entire mainstream western worldview is b******t, because if the mainstream western worldview was accurate, the destruction of Gaza would not be happening.

Both Israel and the US are pretending to be powerless in this situation, when in reality they're both anything but. They're like two muggers getting ready to mug someone and saying "If only there was something we could do to stop this terrible mugging!"

The more I think about it the more obnoxious I find the Biden administration's "Gee whiz, I sure hope Israel doesn't drag us into a giant war in the middle east" posturing and the imperial media's facilitation of it.

Anyone who wants the US and its allies to attack Iran is a psychopath. People who want to unleash a war of that scale upon our species should be rejected from our society as aggressively as child molesters and Nazis.
