Carney’s speech was great, in part because he admits that the old order was both useful and also a sham and a lie. They supported it because of its many benefits and ignored the hypocrisy and double standards.
Here is Assal Rad, an Iranian- American who mostly tweets about Gaza, who has family in Iran, doesn’t like the regime, feared for her family’s safety during the recent slaughter by the government but also hates the sanctions that cratered the economy, as Bessent bragged in Davos—
“To be clear, “this bargain no longer works” because it’s targeting them.
They had no problem with a false international order that targeted and subjugated brown people.”
She is absolutely right.
The NYT had an analysis of the speech which totally ignored that aspect. I give Carney a lot of credit for admitting it but any new rules based order should stop pretending this crap is acceptable.
Or in other words, no more genocides and crimes against humanity committed by the self- proclaimed good guys. Hold all war criminals to account to the extent possible and stop this lying.
If we rebuild from the ashes of Trump, let’s not go back to the happy days where we murder people and it doesn’t matter because we aren’t crass about it.
Back to lurking. Any further comments from me would just be more of the same.
Okay, delurking.
