US Warns EU About 'Democracy' While Funding Authoritarianism Abroad
RT reports that European Council President Antonio Costa urged the US not to threaten EU democracy, expressing concern over differing worldviews. This plea from Brussels is a masterclass in selective indignation—or perhaps, convenient amnesia. The US has a storied history of undermining democratic processes, from interventions in Latin America (like the 1973 coup in Chile that installed Pinochet)
to covert operations in the Middle East—often to secure geopolitical influence or benefit corporate interests. One might wonder if 'threatening democracy' only qualifies as such when it targets them . The millions poured by lobbyists into Washington coffers ensures that threats to democracy abroad—especially those facilitating military aid to controversial regimes—are brushed aside by mainstream
media as 'complex foreign policy.' The hypocrisy isn't just a difference in worldview; it's a difference in who gets to define what constitutes a 'threat to democracy' and whose 'democracy' actually matters.
