Wow, that website is kinda cancerous, which is a bit depressing when it itself is supposed to be a watchdog.
For anyone wondering, no, truthout never does specify what the “policy changes” are, at least from a skim. They’re just very upset that the US is still working with it’s normal allies.
If I had to guess, the author has an anti-Western agenda of some kind, and because nobody else has a good showing on the humans rights and democracy front they’re trying to play down the ideological character of the West, in favour of a totally ethnic description.
I’m sure 4 years of republicans calling those same countries “shit holes” has nothing to do with it.
This whole article comes off as incredibly disingenuous and pure uninformed
opinionBS.It entirely omits 4 years of trump/bannon burning down the state department and driving out career workers there. It ignores 4 years of trump siding with putin and attacking NATO members, weakening those relationships.
It ignores 8 years of bush/cheney burning down the Middle East and showing the world how unreliable the US can be on the world stage. It ignores the gop lying their way into invading Iraq and it ignores how bush ignored the mission and how trump sold out our presence in Afghanistan, both for personal gain.
The article does say in one sentence: “the White House has worked tirelessly to bolster its existing alliances, while trying to establish new ones wherever possible.”
But then turns around and writes a whole article saying basically that despite these counties having a favorable view when Biden was VP, clearly as Pres, he has ruined everything and his support for our allies must be wrong!
Aiding Israel’s genocide in Gaza is also helping relationships
Repeating tankie nonsense only shows us who are the morons and shills on the internet that think things boil down to one man, compared to damn near a century of US foreign policy, most every lawmaker in congress and a majority of voters… who are uninformed.
Blaming Joe Biden for that just shows how useless you are in understanding the world around you or coming up with any real solution to that very real problem. You might as well blame 3 years of Biden for all the shit reagan, bush1, bush2/cheney, and trump did…
Aka you gotta be just as dumb as this article…
“Genocide Joe” = I’m ignorant of history and like catch phrases. So now, not the past 100 years, is the time for a tantrum! Not workable solutions, more like a T-shirt slogan cause I’m so smart”
Enlightened centrists are the one true god
Not a centrist. Voted as progressive as possible my whole life. Live in a blue state, have marched.
I’m not an idiot. That’s the issue here.
It that the issue here?
You’re right, it’s pretty idiotic to wrestle with a pig, you get covered in shit and they enjoy it.
Your prior comment implied I was taking the position of “enlightened centrist.” That was after your other post which was just a stupid t-shirt slogan.
I mean we could talk about the bigger issue of what your dumb ass comments imply… but fair… the issue right now is giving anything this fucking ignorant the time of day.
Anyone who disregards the aiding of an active genocide as tankie bs, deserves to wrestle pigs. That might fit on a Tshirt
