Blinken holds up his own children to justify murderous U.S. policy in Syria

 Secretary Antony Blinken

@SecBlinken

"When I think of the suffering of the Syrian people, including Syrian children, I think of my own two children. How could we not take action to help them? Our common humanity demands it. Shame on us if we don't."

Alas, Antony Blinken's actions in government caused the deaths of tens of thousands of children in Iraq and Syria going back to the run up of the murderous, criminal Iraq war 18 years ago. He was chief adviser promoting then Senator Biden's support of that war; support Biden now regrets. Biden's response to Blinken's folly? Allow him to fail up to Secretary of State.

As a foreign policy adviser in the Obama administration, Blinken supported cruel and murderous sanctions as well as arming vicious jihadists in service of Syrian regime change. His efforts prevented an early Assad victory that could have saved as many as a hundred thousand needless deaths from U.S. interference.

Now, even tho Syrian President Assad prevailed, lowering the death toll, Blinken keeps the sanction on, causing degraded health and death from lack of medicine and starvation from lack of food.

It's ghoulish for Blinken to hold his kids up as an example and reason for his continued decade long crusade to punish Syrian civilians in furtherance of his murderous regime change policies.

Blinken's shame is not from inaction...it's from murderous action no decent person would contemplate, much less take.
