The ex-Pakistani prime minister had many failings. But a recent leaked cable regarding Imran Khan’s military-backed ouster lays bare how the US government uses its power to influence events around the world and how the mainstream press conceals this from the public.
It’s a long article, but can be really summed up into this citation:
He, and by extension anyone making arguments criticizing America, doesn’t need to comment because the rest of western society is constantly commenting on China or Russia. They’re almost never out of our news cycles, at least in the past few decades.
Even barring the fact that most of what we hear about from the east is heavily filtered through propaganda efforts, saying “now also criticize these groups!” is just whataboutism intended to change the topic, and is more akin to saying All Lives Matter.
You’re right, he doesn’t need to comment on Russia or China.
It’s more troubling what he says about US and Ukraine, saying that the war still going on is their fault, Ukraine shouldn’t receive military support, implying it should surrender.
