The Cold War never ended, it just became multipolar and (usually) more subtle.

This is a completely unnecessary mask off moment for an administration that will do anything to avoid the leadership of a fascist apartheid regime seeing consequences for their many crimes against humanity.

Just like Reagan's alliance with Apartheid South Africa, Biden and his administration are clearly on the wrong side of history and, also just like with Reagan's support for the original Apartheid regime, the establishment press is likely going to sweep it under the proverbial rug once the apartheid regime is dismantled, if that ever happens.

Note in case of whataboutism: Yes, i know that a Trump administration would be just as bad if not worse (if that's even possible at this point, short of US boots on the ground in support of the Israeli apartheid regime) with regards to the ongoing genocide and would definitely be worse in just about every other way as well.

That the alternative is worse doesn't excuse the despicable behavior of the CURRENT administration, though.
