The point is no one is held personally accountable

Editor's note: The NYT slams Blinken now? A little late isn't it? That is pretty much standard for the media in the US everyone has come to expect. And who was it in the US largely behind what Zelensky now calls "being fooled by the west?" Blinken, of course. Don't let the British off the hook here either. The British are largely responsible for the British commercial proxy war against Russia. Blinken at the US State Department was a sales rep for the US weapons industry. There are a few sources suggesting Blinken was "thrown under the bus" with the incoming Trump faction but that doesn't hold water considering The Gray Zone's confronting Blinken (also see On Foreign Policy, Biden Leaves a Global Trail of Destruction).

Blinken Slammed by NYT as the "Secretary of War" for Continuing War in Ukraine, Gaza

By Ahmed Adel | January 21, 2025

During his final trip as America's top diplomat last week, Antony J. Blinken was described by French President Emmanuel Macron as "an eminent servant of peace" at a ceremony at the Élysée Palace in Paris before being awarded the country's highest tribute, the Legion of Honour medal. However, Blinken's reception in the US during the last few days as Secretary of State has been the polar opposite, with the New York Times describing him as the "Secretary of War" and protestors slamming him for having a "legacy" of genocide.

"Secretary Blinken! Your legacy will be genocide! You will forever be known as 'Bloody Blinken, Secretary of Genocide,'" shouted a protester who had infiltrated an Atlantic Council event on January 16. Security officers led the protestor out of the room, as well as a man who waved a sign that read "Blinken: War Criminal."

The founder and editor of the Grayzone website, Max Blumenthal, also interrupted the press conference, telling Blinken:

"In Gaza, 300 journalists have been targeted by your bombs. We all know there was an agreement in May. Tony, you didn't stop the flow of bombs. Why have you sacrificed a rules-based order for your commitment to Zionism?"

The Biden administration faced consistent criticism for its military and political support for Israel through its war against Hamas, which has only elevated since US President Donald Trump, days before he entered the Oval Office, managed to coerce Israel to accept a peace deal that had been on the table for most of 2024.

However, beyond activist-journalists, even the mainstream media in the US began slamming Blinken, but only days before stepping down as Secretary of State.

Blinken's term began with the disorderly withdrawal of US personnel from Afghanistan, where Washington had accumulated forces and assets for 20 years and left everything in only a few days in August 2021. The situation was so precarious that some Republican Party congressmen demanded that US Secretary of State Antony Blinken resign, recalls The New York Times.

In a recent interview with the same newspaper, Blinken admitted that Washington began discreetly arming Kiev even before the start of the Russian special military operation in Ukraine, specifically in September and December 2021.

In the new article, the newspaper said that the US Secretary of State was more of a war strategist than a peacemaker in the Ukrainian conflict.

"When the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, Mark A. Milley, suggested in late 2022 that Ukraine should capitalize on battlefield gains by seeking peace talks with Moscow, Mr. Blinken insisted the fight should go on," The New York Times reported.

However, it was a new armed conflict that significantly damaged the reputation of the former head of US diplomacy. After the attack by Hamas against Israel on October 7, 2023, Blinken stressed not only the historic alliance between Tel Aviv and Washington but also his Jewish ethnicity on this issue.
