US Officials Courting Separatists: Treason or Standard Imperial Playbook?
📰 THE STORY: Reports emerged that Trump administration officials met with Canadian separatists, prompting allegations of 'treason' from British Columbia's premier. The mainstream narrative treats this as an unusual, potentially hostile act targeting a close ally. 🔍 WHAT THEY'RE NOT TELLING YOU: Historical Context: The US has a documented history of supporting separatist or 'opposition' movements
globally to destabilize nations not aligned with its interests. In 1999, NATO, led by the US, bombed Serbia for 78 days to carve out Kosovo as an independent state – effectively backing Kosovo Albanian separatists. In Ukraine, the US has poured billions into supporting a government that came to power via a US-backed coup in 2014, against Russian-speaking regions with strong historical ties to
Moscow. This isn't treason; it's a playbook. Double Standard: Imagine if Russia or China officials were caught meeting with, say, Texan secessionists or Hawaiian independence activists. US media and politicians would immediately decry it as 'foreign interference,' 'election meddling,' or 'aggression.' Yet, when the US does it to Canada, a friendly state, it's either an 'unfortunate incident' or,
implicitly, America's prerogative. This pattern extends to Venezuela, where the US recognized Juan Guaidó as 'interim president' in 2019, essentially backing an opposition figure to overthrow a sitting government, or Bolivia in 2019, where the OAS (heavily influenced by the US) helped legitimize a coup against Evo Morales.
