“One of the hallmarks of Western liberalism is an assumption, in hindsight, of virtuous resistance as the only polite expectation of people on the receiving end of colonialism …. But it’s a fiction, the most malicious kind: a fiction of moral convenience.”
— Omar El Akkad, One Day, Everyone Will Have Always Been Against This (2025)

Al Jazeera commentators talking about the sequence of invading #Venezuela and now #Iran indicates that #Trump wants to stop #oil flowing to #China. That makes more sense geopolitically than claims that the attacks are a designed distraction from #Epstein (which has had relatively little traction in the #US like it has in #Europe).
