Blinken's Neo N*zi Pizza Party
When he's not busy running a genocide, Antony Blinken's chilling in Ukraine in neo-N*zi pizza joints
Secretary of State Antony Blinken, who’s giving Henry Kissinger a run for his money for the title of “Worst,” is having a rough week. When he’s not busy perpetrating a genocide in Gaza, ordering protesters to be thrown against walls during Congressional testimonies, or prolonging the Ukraine proxy war to ensure the deaths of the few Ukrainian soldiers still standing, he wants to relax like any other regular guy.
It seems he can’t catch a break.
On his recent trip to Ukraine, Antony thought he’d strap on a guitar and sing Neil Young’s “Rockin’ in the Free World,” only to be mocked by the internet when it turned out that the song was actually protesting everything he represents.
And when he tried to have a pizza party with the Ukrainian foreign minister, how could he have known that he was sitting in front of neo-Nazi symbols in a restaurant that celebrates Nazis, a restaurant that hangs a photo of Ukrainian ultranationalists burning dozens of protesters alive?
Wherever Blinken goes these days, he is constantly surrounded by protesters calling him Bloody Blinken, the Butcher of Gaza. Watch with Katie and Aaron as Blinken stares deadly (with black eyes weirdly reminiscent of The Jinx psychopath Robert Durst’s) as the women of Code Pink are aggressively dragged out by guards.
All of this is occurring as the ICC announced it is seeking arrest warrants for Benjamin Netanyahu and his defense minister Yoav Gallant, as well as members of Hamas. Blinken crony and State Department spokesperson Matthew Miller is now claiming that the ICC has no jurisdiction in Gaza, but that it is instead Israel and somehow the US who have jurisdiction over the lives of Palestinians.
Miller is backed up by Netanyahu himself, who was given full air time to spread his propaganda on both Good Morning America and Jake Tapper’s CNN show. After threatening the head of the ICC, he debuts the new talking point that arresting him is like arresting George Bush after his actions after 9/11. Finally, something we can all get on board with.
The world is insane as always. Stick with Katie and Aaron – they’ll help you laugh instead of cry at it all.
