US Demands Allies Fix Mass Migration Their Bombs Helped Start
The US State Department, fresh from decades of foreign policy interventions that have destabilized entire regions—think Iraq, Libya, Syria—is now reportedly (via NYT) instructing overseas missions to monitor 'migrant-linked crime.' It’s a remarkable pivot, demanding host nations manage a crisis often exacerbated, if not directly caused, by US-backed conflicts and economic sanctions. One might
wonder if the reports should also include the 'US foreign policy-linked displacement' figures. This isn't about 'crime'; it’s about managing the inevitable fallout when you shatter sovereign states, arm proxies, and then feign surprise when their populations seek refuge. The US pours billions into military interventions but then wants its 'allies' to shoulder the humanitarian burden. Truly, the
audacity of empire is boundless: breaking it, then complaining about the pieces.
