“The World According to Ben Rhodes: Hypocrisy in Obama’s Foreign Policy”
“ liberal imperialist”?
I’m sorry, but that is an oxymoron.
I know versions of it are frequently used in America, but then so are a great many other meaningless phrases.
Imperialism is imperialism, and the American establishment is up to its armpits in it. Both parties.
There’s not a genuine liberal in the crowd.
Indeed, to speak of liberalism in America is contradictory. The country, in its various imperial wars just since WWII, has killed at least 8 million people, crippled countless others, and created tens of millions of desperate refugees.
And then there are all the coups and assassinations and the support for bloody and brutal governments whose only “merit” is that they support American policy.
On Obama, readers may enjoy:
