Blinken and Biden both supported the 2003 US invasion of Iraq, perhaps the most catastrophic policy decision since the US war on Vietnam.
The New York Times – whose bogus reporting on “weapons of mass destruction” paved the way for the Iraq war – is describing Blinken as “a centrist with a streak of interventionism.” That perfectly encapsulates the kind of respectable Ivy League warmongering that passes for foreign policy “expertise” in Washington.
Blinken has been involved in other disasters: He supported the 2011 US war on Libya, which through (as usual) a series of unanticipated consequences turned the country into a failed state with open slave markets.
He then played a key role in pushing the Obama administration to arm rebel groups in Syria as part of an effort to bring about regime change, fueling a proxy war that displaced millions of people.
Many of those US-supplied weapons ended up in the hands of al-Qaida.

Biden’s incoming team helped shape some of the most militaristic policies of the Obama administration.
Blinken was a top aide to Biden when the then-Sen*a*tor vot*ed to autho*rize the U.S. inva*sion of Iraq, and Blinken helped Biden devel*op a pro*pos*al to par*ti*tion Iraq into three sep*a*rate regions based on eth*nic and sec*tar*i*an iden*ti*ty. As deputy nation*al security adviser, Blinken sup*port*ed the dis*as*trous mil*i*tary inter*ven*tion in Libya in 2011, and in 2018 he helped launch WestExec Advi*sors, a “strate*gic advi*so*ry firm” that is secre*tive about its clients, along with oth*er Oba*ma admin*is*tra*tion alum*ni like Michèle Flournoy. Jonathan Guy*er writes in The Amer*i*can Prospect, “I learned that Blinken and Flournoy used their net*works to build a large client base at the inter*sec*tion of tech and defense.

there is Lin*da Thomas-Green*field, tapped to serve as Unit*ed Nations Ambas*sador. Thomas-Green*field lists her most recent employ*ment Albright Stone*bridge Group, a secre*tive “glob*al strat*e*gy firm” some*what sim*i*lar to McK*in*sey & Com*pa*ny, and chaired by Madeleine Albright .
Albright Stone*bridge Group is a black box: It’s near impos*si*ble to get any info about who its clients are. The firm claims that it does not lob*by the U.S. gov*ern*ment or do work that is cov*ered by the For*eign Agents Reg*is*tra*tion Act, but many of its staffers dou*ble in roles that cer*tain*ly do exert influ*ence, or have past.
The firm’s UAE office is head*ed by Jad Mneym*neh, who pre*vi*ous*ly was in the Crown Prince Court of Abu Dhabi’s Office of Strate*gic Affairs.
There is noth*ing remark*able about Biden appoint*ing some*one who hails from a shad*owy glob*al strat*e*gy firm for a pow*er*ful role, but that is pre*cise*ly the prob*lem.
Donald Trump supported the Iraq war.
2002 interview with shock jock Howard Stern. Stern asked Trump if he supported the looming invasion.
Trump responded, "Yeah, I guess so."
Of course Trumplicans are so accustomed to Trumps lies that when he tells them he didn't say that when he did, they believe him.
