Summary

In a speech at the April 25, 2026 memorial for socialist scholar Michael Parenti, The Grayzone's Max Blumenthal draws a straight line from the NATO assault on the former Yugoslavia under the Clinton administration to Donald Trump's threats to destroy Iran's civilization and bombing of the country's infrastructure. By setting Trump's unprovoked war on Iran and terrorist threats against the backdrop of Clinton's attack on Yugoslavia, he illustrates Parenti's concept of rational fascism. ||| The Grayzone ||| Find more reporting at https://thegrayzone.com Support our original journalism at Patreon: https://patreon.com/grayzone Facebook: https://facebook.com/thegrayzone Twitter: https://twitter.com/thegrayzonenews Instagram: https://instagram.com/thegrayzonenews Minds: https://minds.com/thegrayzone Mastodon: https://mastodon.social/@thegrayzone #TheGrayzone ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oK4bN1y4O-M
