So they're gonna continue the status quo?
You can't be more mad about them actually saying they're raping and pillaging the Global South than them doing it. The U.S. has worked to keep the Global South impoverished and exploitable for my entire life. I've never seen any politician even mention it as an issue. Americans didn't care before, and now Vance is publicly admitting they don't care.
Just like the Signal thing where they mistakenly added Jeffrey Goldberg, the real issue for most of the upper echelons of the media and political classes isn't that they're funding a genocide and bombing Yemen (this should in fact be supported fully), it's that they didn't follow proper comms protocols and goofed their opsec. It looks bad! What's worse than looking bad while managing empire? To them, nothing.
I did notice the astounding lack of empathy in the original article. Not a word about the Yemen bombing! And then there's this
chat where he's celebrating the fact the entire building collapsed to catch one guy meeting his girlfriend. Not a word of condemnation, not a hint that this is perhaps a bit inhumane, or the callous language used by these assholes, nothing! Just whining that they 'made us look bad' and he called the EU freeloaders. Libs look at literal dehumanisation and go 'but he insulted the EU!' It's a pathological lack of empathy.
