A reference to the Gaza crisis in the report is even more enlightening about the US intelligence community’s dystopian views: “One need only look at the Gaza crisis - triggered by a highly capable non-state terrorist group in Hamas, fueled in part by a regionally ambitious Iran, and exacerbated by narratives encouraged by China and Russia to undermine the United States on the global stage - to see how a regional crisis can have widespread spillover effects and complicate international cooperation on other pressing issues.”

This complete lack of accountability will be their downfall, it's so ridiculous that it is almost unbelievable they really think this way.

The genocide is somehow everyone's fault except for Israel's, amazing.

Yeah i really had to do a double take at reading that, i could not believe that they are seriously trying to blame what is happening in Palestine on Russia and China. We're hitting levels of delusional that should not even be possible.

I don't think the article is exactly blaming Russia and China for the Palestinian resistance against Israel, but the tone definitely is in the same realm. The neoliberal bootlickers seem to be blaming Russia and China for amplifying the world's increased viewing of the truth behind the conflict, not necessarily the conflict happening in the first place.

This report is for public consumption, so it’s largely going to align with the standard propaganda. What the people on the inside really believe is hard for me to know.

It's insane how hard they're spinning everything to make it look like everyone is out for them and they're the little innocent ones. AcKschuaLly there is no empire just a group of quirky and totally autonomous friends who decide to help each other out.
