Hypocrisy's drool — General Mark Milley laughably blathered about Russian guilt

This is rich

 

Pompously making the United States look hypocritically ridiculous:

 

 

Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Gen. Mark Milley told CNN's Jim Sciutto on Tuesday that the entire "global international security order" put in place after World War II is at stake if Russia gets away "cost-free" following its invasion of Ukraine.

 

The top US general spoke exclusively to CNN at the conclusion of a meeting hosted by Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin with allied countries at Ramstein Air Base in Germany. Austin gathered the countries to discuss the current situation in Ukraine.

 

"If this is left to stand, if there is no answer to this aggression, if Russia gets away with this cost-free, then so goes the so-called international order, and if that happens, then we're entering into an era of seriously increased instability," Milley said.

 

"What's at stake is the global international security order that was put in place in 1945. That international order has lasted 78 years, it's prevented great power war, and underlining that entire concept is the idea that large nations will not conduct military aggression against smaller nations, and that's exactly what's happened here, an unprovoked military aggression by Russia against a smaller nation," he added.

Yes, indeed, Markie . . .

 

. . . you gasbagging anti-truth poltroon.

 

Need I mention, as a reality check — from roughly 1953 on — the United States' own, much less geopolitically justified interventions and invasions of other countries?

 

Not one of these was existentially required. Arguably unlike Russia's in Ukraine:

 

 

Iran (CIA coup)

 

Haiti (US Marines 'intervention')

 

Congo (CIA coup)

 

Cuba (Bay of Pigs invasion)

 

Laos (CIA coup)

 

Ecuador (CIA coup)

 

Brazil (CIA coup)

 

Indonesia (CIA coup)

 

Ghana (CIA coup)

 

Vietnam War

 

Laos (bombing)

 

Cambodia (CIA coup and bombing)

 

Chile (CIA coup)

 

Panama (invasion)

 

Nicaragua (CIA sponsored civil war)

 

Grenada (invasion)

 

Kosovo

 

Afghanistan War

 

Iraq War

 

Somalia

 

Libya

 

Ukraine (CIA coup)

 

Syria

 

Yemen (by Saudi Arabian proxy)

So, yeah

 

General Milley is talking from a very high horse.

 

Its saddle is so elevated that I doubt the 'good' general can see the ground.

 

 

The moral? — Doing the Devil's work requires a stream of blatant untruths

 

Mixed in with bottomless bags of self-righteous flatulence.

 

Mark Milley is gravitas-built to deliver the latter in authoritative, full-cheeked fashion.
