The warmongering political propaganda is turbocharged, but the willingness to fight and pay for war keeps diminishing. A Strategic Culture editorial at strategic-culture.su:
Western political leaders are digging a deeper hole for their eventual collapse.
Western states are facing an acute political crisis whereby their established governing parties and leaders are fighting for survival amid a grave loss in legitimacy in the eyes of their electorates.
In the United States, incumbent President Joe Biden is vying for reelection in November with historically lowest poll numbers ever for an occupant of the White House.
Meanwhile, across the European Union, governing parties and leaders are braced for a drubbing from parliamentary elections in June.
The roots of this unprecedented loss of legitimacy among Western political establishments are manifold. But surely one cause is the rank hypocrisy of Western leaders that has now been laid bare. How can political figures expect to have any moral authority when they are seen to be inveterate liars and shamelessly corrupt?
Western governments and their servile media lecture about “democracy”, “human rights” and upholding “law and order”. They claim to be motivated by such principles in their support of Ukraine against alleged Russian aggression. Yet these same governments are complicit in the genocide of Palestinians in Gaza through their unwavering support for the Israeli regime.
Western leaders have been fatally exposed and compromised by the conflict in Ukraine and Gaza. The contradiction is terminal.
That’s not just because of the blatant double standards and duplicity. Western voters are increasingly disgusted by the relentless financial and military support funneled into Ukraine to prop up a scamming regime comprised of NeoNazi ideologues. Under Joe Biden and the incumbent European politicians, the West has flooded Ukraine with weapons and hundreds of billions of dollars in what is the biggest war racket ever.
This is while Western populations, workers, farmers, and businesses are hard-pressed with numerous social and economic burdens.
