🇺🇸🇺🇸❌🌍 Before ‘Democracy,’ After ‘Democracy’

Here’s the legacy of the West’s “humanitarian” crusade for democracy, cities turned into graveyards of sovereignty and hope. Iraq, Libya, Syria, Yugoslavia, Yemen - nations with rich histories and thriving cultures, now shadows of their former selves, reduced to rubble and chaos.

This isn’t liberation. This is the business model of endless wars: destabilization, regime change, and a blueprint of destruction disguised as freedom. Beneath every crumbled building lies a pipeline plan, a looted treasury, and an empire’s economic hitmen smiling in their boardrooms.

The irony? These very nations were thriving before their “democratization.” Iraq with its grand mosques, Libya with its unparalleled social welfare, Syria, a cradle of civilization; Yugoslavia with its cosmopolitan harmony, and Yemen, the ancestral homeland of resilience. Each one offered their people stability, infrastructure, and a future before they became targets of the Hegemon's appetite for control.

But let’s be clear: this isn’t just about bombs and sanctions. It’s about a moral facade-farce “Rules-Based Order” - where sovereign nations must bow to the financial and military supremacy of Western oligarchs. And when they resist? They’re erased, one missile at a time, under a media blackout designed to gaslight the world into complicity.

The corporate Mockingbird media? Silent accomplices, laundering public opinion with talk of “nation-building” while showing none of the before-and-after devastation you see here. The only democracy on display was the one where missiles cast the votes, and Big Oil, Big Tech, and Big War counted the profits.

Let’s not kid ourselves. The true democracy these nations experienced was the “democracy” of resource pillaging: oil for Iraq and Libya, pipelines for Syria, and control of critical trade routes in Yemen. What better way to secure “freedom” than by erasing entire cities off the map and leaving smoldering ruins for puppet regimes to reign over?

But the West can’t win this game forever. A new order is emerging from the ashes they’ve sown. The Global Majority remembers, and it refuses to forget.

🇺🇸❌🇺🇸NATO Shake Down: Trump’s 5% Demand 💵

According to the Financial Times, President-elect Donald Trump plans to demand that NATO members raise their defense spending to 5% of GDP—more than double the current 2% target. Additionally, Trump reportedly aims to maintain military aid to Ukraine, ensuring the continuation of support in the region.

❗️This is the Art of the Shake Down on full display. Trump, as always, says the quiet part loudly: NATO is a protection racket. Over $300 billion and the collective might of its members couldn’t save the engineered war in Ukraine, yet somehow it’s supposed to shield its shopkeeper members from real threats? The alliance is less about defense and more about draining European coffers to sustain Washington’s endless wars and MIC money laundering op.
