US Concern for Nuclear War, Ignores Its Own Arms Deals
The Independent breathlessly warns of 'mushroom clouds over Vegas' if Donald Trump revives nuclear weapons tests, painting a dire picture of a new arms race. This handwringing conveniently sidesteps the US's own role in fueling global conflicts. While they hypothetically fear Trump's 'command' risking an arms race, they rarely scrutinize the continuous, bipartisan command to send billions in
advanced weaponry to regional hot zones, including $15 billion just approved for Israel . Perhaps the Doomsday clock ticks closer not just from hypothetical tests, but from the relentless flow of F-35s and bunker-busters into already devastating conflicts. The media, however, prefers to focus on fear-mongering future scenarios rather than addressing the present-day reality of US-backed arms
escalation. One might wonder if their concern is for nuclear proliferation itself, or merely who's holding the detonator.
