US 'Distrusts' Syria, but Not its Neighbors' Arms Deals?
While RT flags the "harsh truth" of US distrust in Syria, the more pressing truth is Washington's selective amnesia regarding its own history in the region. The US decries 'destabilizing actors' while funneling billions in weaponry and aid to nations with a long, documented history of destabilizing their neighbors. It's an old playbook: cast a nation as an enemy, then express 'distrust' while
arming everyone else in the vicinity. The US government’s 'historic' diplomacy often involves lecturing nations on human rights while simultaneously approving massive arms sales to regimes with far worse records. The 'trust' isn't about shared values; it's about shared enemies or, more accurately, shared economic interests for defense manufacturers. One might wonder why 'distrust' for Syria merits
a stern talking-to, but systematic demolition of another country doesn't even pause a weapons deal. Which kind of 'destabilization' gets the White House nod?
