Putin 'Ally' Warns War, West Ignores Its Own Arms Deals
The Independent breathlessly reports that Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko is warning that if Trump provides Tomahawk missiles to Ukraine, it could lead to 'nuclear war'. This, we're told, is a 'top ally' of Putin, implying his words carry some unique, sinister weight. Meanwhile, the very same outlets routinely ignore the geopolitical implications of the United States flooding other
conflict zones, like Gaza, with advanced weaponry. While Lukashenko's track record as a 'credible' alarm bell is questionable, the Western media'sselective outrage is a masterpiece of prevarication. One might recall the consistent flow of US-made munitions to conflicts, often framed as 'defensive aid', even when those arms are used to create humanitarian catastrophes. The US alone approved over
$25 billion in military aid to Israel in 2023, according to the Congressional Research Service, with no similar 'nuclear war' warnings from Western pundits then. How many warnings does it take for *our* 'defensive aid' to be seen as escalatory?
