Jeremy Scahill argues US foreign policy lacks consistency across administrations
Investigative journalist Jeremy Scahill, co-founder of The Intercept, appeared on Al Jazeera's Reframe program to discuss US foreign policy continuity across Democratic and Republican administrations. According to Scahill's analysis, US tactics and power dynamics remain consistent regardless of which party controls the White House, citing examples related to Iran, Israel, and Gaza policy. The analysis argues that acknowledging these similarities is necessary for honest debate about American foreign policy. Scahill's commentary reflects a long-standing critique among investigative journalists that US interventionist approaches persist across party lines.
