We Have Met the Enemy . . .

Here we are in 2024, and yes—people are still criticizing U.S. foreign policy and our government’s tireless efforts to export truth, freedom, and democracy around the world, especially to geographically strategic Middle Eastern countries rich in oil, LNG, and minerals. For those misguided, individuals with remarkably short memories I ask you . . .

Why would A N Y O N Ein their right mind trust the governments of Iran, Iraq, Palestine, Syria, and Yemen?

I mean, for God’s sake, just look─ L O O K
at their horrific TRACK RECORD!

T H E Y
dropped atomic bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki killing over 200 thousand people in 1945, creating decades of genetic deformities and irreparable environmental damage.

T H E Y
control 750 military bases in 80 countries and have
an annual defense budget of $773 billion!

T H E Y
along with Russia, hold the world’s largest stockpile of nuclear, chemical, and biological weapons.

T H E Y
have the largest intelligence agencies on the planet that includes budgets
of $71.7 billion for the National Intelligence, and
$27.9 billion for Military Intelligence Program.

T H E Y
introduced the world to insidious weapons such as napalm, agent orange, white phosphorus, and depleted uranium.

T H E Y
dropped bombs on over thirty sovereign nations since WWII killing tens of millions of innocent men, women and children: Afghanistan, Bosnia, Cambodia, China, Congo, Cuba, Dominican Republic, El Salvador, Grenada, Guatemala, Indonesia, Iraq, Iran, Korea, Kuwait, Laos, Lebanon, Libya, Nicaragua, Panama, Peru, Somalia, Sudan, Yugoslavia – Serbia, Vietnam.

T H E Y
backed, funded, and trained murderous right wing military regimens around the world and ousted the governments of over 25 foreign countries: Albania, Afghanistan, Australia, British Guiana, Bulgaria, Bolivia, Brazil, Cambodia, Chad, Chile, Congo, Dominican Republic, Ecuador, Fiji, Ghana, Greece, Grenada, Guatemala, Haiti, Indonesia, Iraq, Jamaica, Laos, Nicaragua, Panama, Portugal, Yugoslavia, Venezuela, and South Vietnam.

T H E Y
are among the few countries to vote against a U.N. resolution
condemning the glorification of Nazism.

T H E Y
developed and rolled out an untested, injectable bioweapon raking in billions in profit while causing over 17 million deaths and over 567 million adverse reactions and long-term injuries.

T H E Y
staged a 2014 coup d’état in Ukraine and sent billions of tax dollars and weapons to the that country’s ultra-right wing Nazi regime ultimately resulting in all-out war with Russia, and the deaths of 500,000 Ukrainian lives in the name of democracy.

T H E Y
currently support and fund the despicable Israeli genocide
(viewer digression advised) of the Palestinian people in Gaza that has killed over 35,000 people, 150,00 children, 9,000 women, injured more than 66,000 people, and displaced 2.3 million inhabitants. The impact of the Israel created water crisis is now threating the lives of what is left of the remaining population.

T H E Y
(Get this!) even outlined a plan in 2009 to overthrow the United States using armed terrorist organization, provoking war, economic warfare, and covert military operations. More in-depth analysis here.
