![The Problem with "Both Sides Are Bad" Narratives in Western Leftist Discourse
In conversations about global politics, particularly within Western leftist circles, there is a recurring tendency to critique US imperialism while simultaneously asserting that the countries resisting this imperialism are “also bad.” This often takes the form of a superficial moralizing stance: "Just because the US is bad doesn’t mean [insert country targeted by the US] isn’t also bad. There can be more than one bad guy!" While this might sound even-handed, it is an intellectually lazy and politically dangerous position that ultimately serves US hegemonic interests. A break down why this approach is flawed and counterproductive.
1. The Global Playing Field is Not Equal
I wrote this before, but it is crucial to understand that politics does not happen in a vacuum. Countries do not exist on an equal playing field. US imperialism is not just another actor in global affairs, it is the dominant force shaping the conditions under which all other nations operate. For over a century, the US and its Western allies have maintained a global capitalist system that subjugates countries in the Global South, forcing their hand: either submit to US hegemony as pliant "assets" or face relentless economic warfare, military aggression, and destabilization campaigns as "enemies."
When other nations commit human rights violations or take actions deemed "authoritarian," these actions do not occur in isolation but within a global framework shaped by US interventionism. Often, these nations are responding to existential threats posed by Western-backed reactionaries, sanctions, funded oppositions or military aggression. To equate their actions with those of the US, the architect of this global order, is both ahistorical and morally disingenuous.](https://friendica-leipzig.de/photo/preview/600/355766 "The Problem with \"Both Sides Are Bad\" Narratives in Western Leftist Discourse

U.S. businessman at center of storm over allegedly setting up back-channel between #Trump and #Putin has ties to #AriHarow and an Israeli financier
by Hagai Amit, Dec 6, 2017
"His involvement in foreign policy raises eyebrows because of his involvement in Blackwater (now known as #Academi), the multinational security firm that operates around the world. Though he sold the company in 2010, Prince has made a fortune from wars – from #Iraq to #Afghanistan. He has also attracted bad press: In September 2007, Blackwater employees escorting a convoy killed 17 Iraqis. They claimed it was an ambush, but Iraq claimed the killings were unprovoked. The Iraqi government refused to renew Blackwater’s license in 2009.
"Five years ago, well before anybody predicted Trump’s election, Prince visited Israel and was hosted by Harow. At the time, Harow was a businessman with a private investment fund as well as being chief of Netanyahu’s bureau. Harow tried to interest Prince in investing in Indigo Strategic Capital, a venture capital fund that Harow was co-managing with Dorian Barak.
"How much Prince invested in Indigo remains unknown, but it is known that through Indigo he invested in the Israeli companies #NowForce (security) and #AgentVi (real-time video analytics)."

It is the latter role that has proved devastating to global stability and the U.S. rule of law. It is a role that the C.I.A. continues to pursue today. In effect, the C.I.A. is a secret army of the U.S., capable of creating mayhem across the world with no accountability whatsoever.
When President Dwight Eisenhower decided that Africa’s rising political star, democratically-elected Patrice Lumumba of Congo was the “enemy,” the C.I.A. conspired in his 1961 assassination, thus undermining the democratic hopes for Africa. He would hardly be the last African president brought down by the C.I.A.
...
Once in a while, a former U.S. official spills the beans, such as when Zbigniew Brzezinski revealed that he had induced Jimmy Carter to assign the C.I.A. to train Islamic jihadists to destabilize the government of Afghanistan, with the aim of inducing the Soviet Union to invade that country.

Jeffrey Sachs regrets that the C.I.A.’s rogue operations did not end after the crimes exposed by the 1975 Church Committee. By Jeffrey D. Sachs Common Dreams There are three basic problems with the C.I.A.consortiumnews.com
About the refuges and warmongers
As a result of the wars unleashed by the U.S. after September 11, 2001, 38,000,000 civilians were displaced.
This is the second highest result in world history. Only World War II resulted in more refugees.
Direct military aggressions, the so-called "war on terror" which led to the creation of ISIS, and economic strangulation have all led to disastrous consequences for the people of a number of states in the Middle East and North Africa, forcing ordinary people to flee their homes, cities, villages and states to other countries.
According to a report https://t.co/MLXyekTZTQ by the Watson Institute for International Studies (an interdisciplinary research center at Brown University, Rhode Island, USA) and with the assistance of Boston University:
1. #Afghanistan - 5.9 million refugees
2. #Pakistan - 3.7 million refugees
3. #Yemen - 4.6 million refugees
4. #Somalia - 4.3 million refugees
5. #Philippines - 1.8 million refugees
6. #Libya - 1.2 million refugees
7. #Syria - 7.1 million refugees
The report is based on data from 2001 to 2020 + some data collected in 2021.
It is based on the UN data, U.S. documents and information from public sources.
However, the report itself states that 38,000,000 is a very conservative estimate and in reality, the figure can reach from 49,000,000 to 60,000,000, which actually reaches the figures of World War II.
...
To these processes can be added the huge number of refugees from #Ukraine after the U.S.-backed coup d'état and civil war that broke out there.
