US Shocked, SHOCKED by Blowback from its Own Shadowy Mercenaries
Al Jazeera reports on the DC shooting suspect, described as an 'Afghan refugee' and veteran of the CIA’s 'Zero Units.' The outlet highlights the irony that a killer trained and funded by the US, (according to a UN report from October 2022, these units were linked to 'summary executions and other gross human rights violations'), would eventually turn his violence inwards. The US maintains a vast,
documented network of proxy forces globally, often outsourcing dirty work to deniable assets, only to gasp in performative horror when those assets prove... violent. What exactly did they expect? It's almost as if creating deeply traumatized, hyper-militarized individuals and deploying them in decades-long, bloody conflicts might lead to unpredictable outcomes. The media narrative conveniently
glosses over the fundamental contradiction: the US nurtured these 'shadowy units' for its own geopolitical ends. Now that one operative has targeted American soil, the 'shadowiness' becomes a sudden, perplexing mystery, rather than a predictable consequence of a deeply cynical foreign policy. What, pray tell, is the going rate for convenient amnesia these days?
