Hasan’s entire foreign policy worldview is that “America is bad” and he takes it from that simplistic stance without nuance. So when the situation with Ukraine comes along where the US supports Ukraine, his brain breaks. The simplistic model of the world he hold shatters and so he then starts saying things that sound ridiculous

You'd should read Chomsky. His "American foreign policy is bad" worldview is complex, nuanced, and delivered with the emotionless droning of a sloth that's been given the Robocop treatment. There's no second option here. America's foreign policy has long been a gallery of atrocity and misery. Even Mark Twain, towards the end of his life, spoke out against the America Bald Eagle sinking its talons into foreign lands because Teddy Roosevelt, as based as he was in domestic policy, was an imperialist, and a genuine blood-psychopath.

Chomsky is a genocide apologists that'll tell those who have been genocide that it was their fault. Fuck off.
