US Congress 'Shocked' to Find 'Disorder' in Places They Fund Conflict
The 'new world disorder' isn't exactly new; it's simply the predictable outcome when US foreign policy, heavily influenced by lobbying groups like AIPAC, prioritizes perpetual conflict zones. While the International Rescue Committee (IRC) rightly flags Sudan and Palestine, the systemic drivers—like the billions in unconditional US aid to Israel, or the consistent arms flows to various factions
across the globe—rarely make the headlines of these 'watchlists.' One might wonder if the 'disorder' benefits a certain few who profit from chaos. When politicians receive millions from defense contractors and pro-war lobbies (OpenSecrets shows AIPAC spent nearly $40 million in 2022 to influence Congress), the calls for 'peace' ring rather hollow. How many more watchlists will it take before we
start watching the policymakers, not just the victims?
