The question we need to ask is this: is America actually defending freedom, or is it systematically destabilizing countries that refuse to fall in line with its agenda? **Middle East**: The U.S. says it's in Iraq and Syria to "fight ISIS" and promote stability, yet American bombs and bases remain long after ISIS's collapse. Is this about helping people, or about securing control over resources and maintaining dominance in the region? **Yemen**: The U.S. supports a devastating Saudi-led assault on Yemen, fueling one of the worst humanitarian crises in the world. Washington claims this is a stand against Iranian influence, but in reality, America’s weapons and support are backing a brutal blockade that has left millions on the brink of starvation. Is this about freedom—or submission? **Africa**: In Somalia and the Sahel, U.S. operations keep a close grip on regions rich in natural resources under the guise of fighting terrorism. Al-Shabaab and other groups continue to thrive despite years of U.S. "help." So, are these interventions about ending terrorism, or ensuring U.S. control over Africa's resources and politics? **Latin America**: Venezuela, Cuba, Nicaragua—if a country elects leaders Washington doesn’t like, it faces crippling sanctions, covert operations, and support for opposition groups. The U.S. has choked Venezuela’s economy, punishing ordinary people in the name of “democracy.” Is the U.S. a defender of self-determination, or does it crush governments that don’t bow to its interests? **Asia**: America waves the flag of freedom in the South China Sea and at North Korea’s doorstep. But is this about protecting allies or drawing “enemy” lines to control Asia’s future? In reality, the U.S. is trying to encircle China, securing its dominance and military bases rather than respecting other nations’ sovereignty. **Eastern Europe**: Billions of dollars in military aid are flowing to Ukraine. While Washington claims to stand for Ukraine’s sovereignty, this involvement fuels a dangerous proxy war with Russia, pushing the world closer to the brink. Are we defending a nation’s freedom, or dragging it into a superpower conflict with no concern for its future? https://image.nostr.build/99f17149a791e83368f19404152d6811801d34528503a90318e5c603da2da8d0.jpg Is the U.S. a benevolent defender of democracy, or an empire seeking control over any country that doesn’t align with its interests? Every conflict zone, every intervention, every sanctioned country begs this question. For a nation that preaches peace, America’s militarized foreign policy suggests that “freedom” is defined by submission to its global influence. #democracy #war #authoritarianism #history #freespeech #bitcoin #nostr #anarchyⒶ
