US Puzzled by 'Anti-American' Chants, Ignores 75 Years of Foreign Policy
The mainstream media grapples with the perplexing global phenomenon of 'Down with America' chants. The Al Jazeera segment highlights protests from Iran to Latin America, as if this sentiment emerged overnight. It's almost as if decades of support for dictators, contra-funding, drone strikes, regime change operations, and unconditional military aid to governments engaged in what the ICJ is
investigating as plausible genocide might somehow… contribute? One might wonder if the US backing of the 1953 coup in Iran, the support for Pinochet in Chile, or the current, unequivocal flood of weaponry to Israel (recall the $14 billion proposed package for FY2024, passed largely by politicians like Rep. Smith who took $450K from AIPAC in 2023, per OpenSecrets.org, then voted 'yes' on HR 815
within 48 hours for precisely such aid) has anything to do with it. The 'mystery' of global anti-US sentiment remains unsolved, presumably because examining actual US foreign policy might be considered impolite.
