blinken and the usa's role here has always been about optics - not reality.... they are stuck in the marketing game of convincing others of their righteous path, when in fact their path is both hypocritical and knowingly dishonest... this is why after countless years, the usa is still trying to sell itself as an honest broker for peace, and everyone - except the usa admin - know they are full of bs and it is furthermost from the truth of the matter...

so, people have given up on the usa in any type of leadership role and rightly so... even if the usa continues to manipulate the various international institutions, or is more blatant about it - financial sanctions and etc - people see thru this and know they are the worst country to speak of negotiating for peace in a fair manner.... the usa wants power and control which explains all the foreign wars they have started over the past 60 or more years - and that is only in my lifetime! whatever the usa says - generally a rule of thumb is to believe the exact opposite and it will be much closer to the truth..

Well said.

I was tempted to quote some remarks by Blinken, but then I said to myself: "What's the point? It's completely useless. Better quote in full the protesters!"

these people are best ignored... i don't know if you happened to see the article at moa where bernhard posted a link to a book blinken wrote in 1987 - ally versus ally..

https://www.amazon.com/Ally-Versus-America-Siberian-Pipeline/dp/0275924106

that tells one all they need to know about who and what they are serving.. it is definitely not the community of the world, but just the opposite - it is themselves, first and foremost.. it also becomes very clear who destroyed nordstream based on blinkens book..

No, I haven't see the article at MoA, but I am not surprised by what you are telling me... at all. If I remember correctly, Henry Kissinger once said "It may be dangerous to be America's enemy, but to be America's friend is fatal". I don't think more words are needed.

wowza. great roundup. given the long and sordid history of american duplicity and dishonor it’s hard to gin up much hope but between what you and Silverstein are reporting and what Alastair Cook noted about Trump posting that Sachs video, maybe there is a faint glimmer.
