A nation which allows itself to be willingly ruled by war criminals is, first and foremost, a victim of its own cowardice.

The American People will never be safe until they properly prosecute their war criminals. American policing organisations are riddled with very real war criminals calling the shots.

Don't be so surprised that what these people did to Iraq and Afghanistan and Libya and Yemen, they will do to the American people.

Even the ones that were prosecuted have sometimes been pardoned: https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2019/dec/27/eddie-gallag...

Today Americans feel the boot they themselves have been pressing into the necks of others for decades.

This is why the American people, if they are to turn things around and create a just society, must continue to demand justice for their own very real war criminals all the way to the top.

As long as Obama and Clinton and Bush(es) and now Trump are free to continue to propagate their death cult policies, there will not be justice in America, for Americans - or around the world, for anyone.

Americans must understand: as a nation, they have been kneeling on the necks of others for decades, and the American People are themselves complicit in the act.

Until there is real justice for this magnitude of criminal behaviour, the streets will not be safe for anyone deemed 'inferior' by the death cult.

The Americans who are feeling the boot now are largely the same ones that have been feeling the boot since before the US had status as a major power, uniformed police forces, or even independence.

They've gotten more sympathy from other Americans recently than they had centuries ago, which makes the anger about it more widespread, but it is certainly not a reversal where the people directing the US’s comparatively brief (even if you go back to the Monroe Doctrine) colonial empire and now feeling the boot of oppression in some kind of karmic balance.

To the extent there is a relation to any American war crimes of the last couple decades, you've got the direction of influence exactly reversed. The deep, ingrained racism and tolerance for domestic injustice in the US is the root from which the overseas abuses grows, not the other way around.

If American martial culture had not operated with such impunity in foreign theatres, it would not have made the mistake of thinking it can apply the same policies within its own borders. Complacency and complicity brought us to where we are today.

And what America feels in the last week is a form of karmic retribution for all the suffocating that the American people have, themselves, supported over the last few decades.

The victims may speak a vastly different language, but the policies that led to the boot on the neck are one and the same.
