there’s nothing more revolting or unsettling than samantha power’s outrage over “acts of barbarism against civilians” and the execution of children, especially when her 60mph motorcade killed a small boy in cameroon earlier this year, when war crimes committed in gaza and yemen don’t seem to budge her shame levels, and when the US is itself actively invested in the war in syria (up to $1bn a year – one of the CIA’s largest covert operations).
nothing but love for and solidarity with the people of syria, who have been engulfed in a cruel war for more than 5 years. but no, samantha power, the cold embodiment of american imperialism and brutality, u do not get to appropriate this moment.
