    It seems to me that this is the one political position the author has: “America bad.” And everything follows from there. Russia invades Ukraine: Actually it’s America’s fault, because NATO expansion is violating non-existent treaties. Israel bombs Gaza and does the crimes against humanities: Actually it’s America’s fault, because Israel is just imitating America.

    This seems like the usual “what aboutism” from Russian or Chinese propaganda.

    What Israel did is really really bad, but America didn’t force them to do it. And America’s response of unconditional support is also bad, but they generally didn’t want this conflict, because it’s not useful to their agenda.

    America does enough bad stuff, no need to invent more.
