It is a very strange world: Michelle Obama makes a highly impassioned, brilliant speech at the Democratic National Convention - one nearly universally praised, establishing again her extremely high approval ratings in America. She affirms contrary to Trump (who alone can “make America great again”), that “America is the greatest country on earth”.
One wonders: what does her husband not tell her about “what the greatest country on earth” has been/is doing to the rest of the earth, above all in the Greater Middle East right now? And what news does she (choose?) not to know? Does she not know about the estimated death toll of up to four million persons in the Greater Middle East in the past fifteen years, directly attributable to US military action there? (And, incidentally, does she not know that Hilary Clinton is a total war hawk, who has supported all that ongoing American barbarity in the Greater Middle East?) Does she not know about the fact that her husband is widely known as “Assassin-in-Chief” in much of the rest of the world, due to his use of ubiquitous reach killer drones that rain down terror and death on multiplied hundreds or thousands of innocents each year, people terrorized or dead, just because they live in the wrong place at the wrong time? Does she not know, as the link to the article below spells out in detail, that her husband's presidency has directly facilitated more arms sales throughout the world than all other countries’ arms sales combined (in 2011) – all to make billions in profit for the voraciously greedy arms dealers in America? Does she not know that weapons are designed to do one thing only: kill – regardless of a person's "innocence" or not? Does she not know that America's foreign policy for decades has been dominated by one overweening goal, and it is not to spread democracy and promote human rights around the globe: rather, to keep America overwhelmingly the richest nation on earth?
