“Good to see chickens return to the roost. For a decade or more the US has made a practice of claiming that any election where an anti-US president wins the election was fraudulent. The colour revolution scenario is then supposed to go from demonstrations to storming the assembly. We saw this in Ukraine, Bolivia, Venezuela. Biden and the US establishment had no compunction at cheering on those who invaded the Assembly in Ukraine, had no compunction in hailing losers as winners in Venezuela and Bolivia. But if you practice that abroad, do not be surprised if it comes home.” —Paul Cockshott
“Given the United States’ long heritage of imperial control of much of the planet’s wealth, ecological destruction and political decisions, Wednesday’s mobs at the Capitol building should hardly come as a surprise to Americans on the left or the right. In recent history, Americans have shown little resistance to the imperial efforts of the US abroad—from the wars in Korea to Vietnam to Iraq and Afghanistan, not to mention the dozens of countries where the US-sponsored covert wars, supported death squads, cosied up to dictators, forced privatisation of public utilities, and a list that would be the size of both volumes of the OED.” —Julian Vigo
I am glad to see that an American magazine calls a U. S. head of state a terrorist. I won’t see the day when this is applied to the whole state and its history.
