What a timely article highlighting the seamless lockstep of American hegemonic empire between the "deep state fighting" Trump administration and the "deep state serving" Biden administration which followed it. If anyone can find space between the twin ghouls Pompeo and Blinkin, please point it out, because there is none.

International law specifically bars collective punishment or harming noncombatant civilian populations, yet Trump's Pompeo enacted these sanctions with apparent glee, and they continue under his democratic counterpart. No amount of partisan propaganda changes this.

As is so often the case, the United States acts shamefully and illegally. The remedy to this increasingly lies outside of our current political duopoly.

I sometimes feel like one of those millions of "Good" Germans who went on about their lives, went to work, raised their kids, and looked the other way as the trains carried their Jewish neighbors away. What will history make of us? People like me who feel helpless to affect change and so simply go on with our lives as the government we support with our tax dollars continues to kill both the environment and countless fellow humans. Thanks for not being like me, Caitlin.
