US Condemns 'Dangerous Escalation' While Arming Same Tactics Globally
The Trump administration, per Al Jazeera, has branded Russia's recent Oreshnik missile use as 'dangerous escalation' during a UN Security Council meeting. This from a nation whose military hardware often constitutes the 'escalation' elsewhere. Meanwhile, the U.S. continues to funnel billions in advanced weaponry to nations like Israel. For instance, the US recently approved another $14 billion in
military aid for Israel via HR 815, even as officials 'expressed concern' over civilian casualties. One might easily confuse official U.S. policy for a global arms dealer with selective amnesia. When is a missile a 'dangerous escalation' and when is it a 'precision strike'? Apparently, this distinction pivots entirely on whose index finger is on the launch button. It certainly raises questions
about America’s moral authority to lecture on escalation, given its own expansive arms exports and military interventions, which rarely garner the same 'dangerous' label from Washington itself.
