This angle where US imperialism can only be explained as a distraction from the Epstein files is a rather convenient display of goldfish memory that ignores everything about the US and what it was built on.
You’d be right except this isn’t imperialism. There’s no designs to annex or even occupy Iran. There’s no evidence were even trying to get lopsided trade deals or new markets. Venezuela is one thing but cuba and Iran can’t be seen as anything but distraction. Neither were threats, neither benefits the US in any way.
And it’s not racist or dehumanizing either because we’re not saying that’s what those lives are worth to us. But to him? Yeah, he’ll murder thousands and think nothing of it other than being labeled as a war monger instead of a pedophile. Fun fact that he’s apparently not aware of: one can be both. If HE thinks of war as a distraction, then it’s a distraction tactic. This post is preaching to the choir.
If there’s a goal to this war at all it’s to install a puppet regime that won’t sabotage the west’s imperialist ambitions in the region. That’s how this ties in to empire. Iran has been a thorn in the west’s side for almost 50 years and now the Epstein class wants revenge.
Also, your take on Cuba wrongly assumes the US wouldn’t attack a country that poses no threat, especially when said country, much like Venezuela, represents a socio-economic order that directly contradicts empire. They also don’t have to pose a threat for their labor and resources to still come in handy.
I never said the US wouldn’t attack a country that’s no threat. That’s exactly what is happening with Iran. They weren’t a threat to America, but we attacked them anyway. Why would Cuba be any different? But it’s still not imperialism if the US is just doing it for funsies.
Thw usa is ally withbsaudi because of oil, occupied Iraq because of oil, want to annex canada because of oil, kidnapped maduro because of oil but magically the war on the last country that is in the top 5 countries with rhe largest oil reserve it is no longer about oil? The country that was controlled by a puppet before to steal natural ressources. This is ridiculous

Imperialism isn’t just about taking land. It’s about maintaining and imposing hegemony.
