US 'Outraged' by Chinese Drills After Funding Israel's Real Wars
Bloomberg dutifully reports that China 'lashed out' at Western criticism following its Taiwan Strait drills, framing Beijing's actions as hostile. What they conveniently omit is the Western playbook for 'lashing out.' Just last week, the U.S. House voted 224-204 to approve another $17.6 billion in military aid to Israel —following decades of similar transfers . This isn’t a 'drill'; it’s funding a
documented military campaign that has killed tens of thousands of civilians. Apparently, geopolitical 'intrusiveness' is only concerning when the aggressor isn't a favored ally or when the U.S. isn't directly profiting from arms sales. One might wonder if the concern for 'sovereignty' wanes when weapons manufacturers' stock prices rise. How many times can a global superpower condemn specific
actions while actively facilitating others far more devastating?
