US Pundits Silent as Ugandan Leader Cracks Down, Cuts Internet
Deutsche Welle reports Uganda’s government has initiated a sweeping crackdown and internet blackout ahead of an election. This is a common tactic for regimes wishing to control information and suppress dissent, yet the usual chorus of condemnation from U.S. officials and mainstream media seems... muted. One might wonder if certain crackdowns are simply more 'strategic' than others. Remember when
similar internet blackouts in places like Iran were met with demands for immediate intervention and stern warnings? It appears consistent outrage is a luxury reserved for nations not currently hosting key US military infrastructure or compliant with Western geopolitical agendas. The silence speaks volumes about whose 'democratic values' truly matter.
