    It's a serious mistake made by all sides of spectrum to see global news only through prism of domestic politics.https://twitter.com/notjessewalker/status/947283232072052741 …

    Jeet Heer added,

    Jesse Walker @notjessewalker
    I'm told there's a big dispute right now between people somehow convinced that Obama is responsible for the Iranian protests & people somehow convinced that Trump is responsible. Please tell me where this debate is happening so I can avoid it.

        Citizens in other countries have motives outside our domestic situation?

        Like when you saw Corbyn exceed his poll numbers and announced Bernie would have won?

        And to think Americans are all powerful. We are certainly powerful, but it is ridiculous to attribute so much to our power.

        It’s one of the failings of American “Exceptionalism” that we often overestimate our influence on world events.

        Being outside the US for literally 20 minutes cures you of this conceit.

        Yeah, that’s backwards. The abject theft of wealth by the wealthy is a global phenomenon which affects people in every country so this is very much a local thing too. The wheels have begun to turn toward the day of reckoning. This is not a drill. #BananaRepublicans

        So it's wrong to see Trump/Republican's response to the #IranProtests through the prism of Trump/Republican's support of white separatism/white supremacy? Haven't you written articles to the contrary?

        If anything it’s on Eisenhower & Churchill, but the rest of us since have some responsibility for doubling down (and whatever multiplier we’re up to now.) But having responsibility for the mess has nothing to do with whether we can or should butt in again.
