Where’s The Accountability In U.S. Foreign Policy? | The Mehdi Hasan Show

A recent photo shows Secretary of State Antony Blinken with three former GOP Secretaries of State, all three Republicans accused of war crimes. “If you’re happy to cozy up to Baker, Rice, and especially Kissinger,” says Mehdi, “You really have no right to ever lecture any other country, government, or former official on human rights or respect for human life ever again.”

Well done, Mehdi. The people in that photograph are absolute ghouls & should never be seen or heard from again.

[@JWHealing]

Mehdi we need strong truth tellers like you 👍🏼

[@DrHotWarLove]

Maybe Hell is a never-ending trial at The Hague.

[@TheTrueStruggle]

Thank you for speaking the hidden truth.

[@sjaw100]

Mehdi, I really love your objectivity and sense of justice. Blinken is planning to join this gang of blood-stained war makers!

[@royalukas8144]

Thanks for this important perspective. The conscious and intentional amnesia, or un-knowing, of our political and media leadership is what makes us so exceptional.

[@KaranCariappaP]

This was epic

[@mumishr]

Well put, you're the best, Mehdi

My wife is Khmer. She is the epitome of compassion and forgiveness so it's up to me to loath Kissinger on her behalf and I do. Cambodia was a peaceful, neutral country populated by gentle people. Millions died agonizing deaths thanks to Kissinger, Nixon, their bombs and the destabilization they wrought. The country of Cambodia (Kampuchea), her citizens and their descendents suffer to this day. The US has a lot to answer for: Korea, Vietnam, Laos, Cambodia, Cuba, Iraq X2, Argentina , Bolivia, Brazil, Chile, Costa Rica, Dominican Republic, Guatemala, Nicaragua, Panama, Paraguay, Venezuela and Afghanistan. Many would include Hawaii, Costa Rica and the Marshall Islands as well.

I side w/ Bernie in regards to Kissinger. Just look at his record. He seems to have been a tool to legitimize wrong decisions so many do not bring that up and even side w/ him, like Hilary.

[@berealandread3107]

Well done, Mehdi. It’s great show and objectivity.

[@mrduckman225]

Thumbs up for the Anthony Bourdain quote👍🏽 good episode

Thank you, Mehdi Hasan!

[@leisureb]

word.

[@abby-usivemonopoly5529]

3:50 I sure do love Bernie Sanders' integrity.

[@kurtdunbar912]

In a just world those three would be shuffling in orange and shackles to their war crimes trials.

[@shannaidoo2854]

Americans take responsibility!

[@rasat4829]

Mehdi is absolutely right about Anthony Blinken, also Blinken is a dummy for a secretary of state, and this is coming from me who is a progressive

[@patriayvida6850]

Blinken is also CIA if that helps.

[@rasat4829]

@@patriayvida6850 Really! Unbelievable, the guy is an idiot!

[@dr.debbiewilliams]

I asked about Bernie Sanders while running for Congress in 2016. I even defended him, which is probably part of the reason why I was not elected. I asked people about him. I like you, but if I did a survey of people's opinion of you, many people might tell me you're a great guy, but I want to know why the other person who didn't speak well of you to tell me why. I have learned from people who don't agree on everything I believe, but still have faith in me, and I in them. That's what America is.

[@steewith2ees14]

Would you ever consider running again Dr Williams? It seems so toxic with even those with the best intentions putting in 110% and still getting nothing but obstruction. I am from the UK, where Sen Sanders is not even considered progressive, just left of centre.

[@abby-usivemonopoly5529]

Blinken _and_ Garland are both serious problems.

[@abby-usivemonopoly5529]

...and both were installed because corporate Democrats _compromised_ on how much justice normal people could have, in an inexcusably-pointless, irredeemably-submissive, morally-backward peace-offering to Republicans. As if pre-emptively offering up your lunch-money buys a worthwhile peace.

[@abby-usivemonopoly5529]

Corporate Democrats' grim habit of passive complicity, is so pernicious and dogged, that even DeJoy is allowed to brazenly continue fully sabotaging the USPS. In plain sight. For the destabilization of the United States *_and_* personal profit.

[@Clusterboy]

Where oh where is Hillary?

[@careyjernigan134]

at the hospital checking on her husband. Saw her this morning. My question for you is are you and cheetojesus golfing today?

[@wenweisu99]

accountability is when the locals can grind on for decades and not cave to american military occupations and emerge as independent nations, eg philippines (yes, way back they were the first to suffer genocide in the 100,000s under american occupation), vietnam and now afghanistan. i am no fan of the taliban but i am of the firm belief that they need to sort things out as citizens of their own sovereign nation.

[@AmateurHistorian999]

I would be fine with that if the Taliban would let any of their citizens leave who want to leave. Short of that, Afghanistan is an open-air internment camp for women and I'll support every effort to change that.

[@behramcooper3691]

Seriously Mehdi. You can do better than this.

[@DjWellDressedMan]

How? by not talking about USA War Crimes?

[@tonymadden9021]

Hard to make a case for war crimes against James Baker
