Putin-Xi-Modi Summit Causes Neocon PANIC on CNN

Plus, a Democrat Senator goes FULL RACIST against Zohran Mamdani

On today’s Thursday Throwdown, we’re watching everyone’s favorite channel: CNN! And Fareed Zakaria’s guest of the week is The Atlantic’s Anne Applebaum, a neoconservative pundit who has supported every single U.S. regime change war and once advocated the murder of Palestinian journalists.

So naturally, she should be asked for her thoughts on the recent summit that brought together Vladimir Putin, Xi Jinping, and Narendra Modi:

Fareed Zakaria: You've been talking about this alliance. What keeps them together? Because there is fundamentally the shared opposition to a Western-led world and American power, right? Is there more to it?

Anne Applebaum: These are powers that have very different ideologies: nationalist, communist, theocratic in the case of Iran. What unites them is their dislike of us, and by us I mean the democratic world, and the language of rule of law, because of course that's the language of their own internal oppositions. And China and Russia in particular, but the rest as well, have been working for many years to delegitimize that language, to get the idea of human rights out of international institutions.

Oh, yes.

It's only those states that hate the language of human rights. As opposed to us who support, for example, Israeli mass murder in Gaza, tried to destroy any type of UN oversight of Israel, and has been trying to undermine the UN Human Rights Council. And they just hate us.

Have we ever considered maybe we hate them, given that we're always blaming them for every single problem under the sun and trying to overthrow their governments? Whereas the entire existence of the establishment Applebaum is a part of is to constantly demonize other states and gin up hatred towards them.

But maybe calling for the murder of journalists in Palestine really is the language of the rule of law…
