Tom Cotton Explains Why Warmongers Love The Wuhan Lab Leak Theory

"Not everyone who supports an investigation into the lab leak theory is a warmonger, but warmongers will definitely be happy if they get that investigation."

At a recent appearance on Sunday Night in America, Senator Tom Cotton took a break from masturbating to drone bombing footage to explain why he and his fellow psychopathic warmongers love the hypothesis that Covid-19 originated in a Chinese laboratory.

Here's a transcript of Cotton's comments.

Cotton has been pushing for a "full, impartial investigation into COVID-19 origins, with a special focus on the Wuhan labs," and he knows full well that there is no mechanism in existence which could carry out such an impartial investigation.

There is no reason to believe any investigation into the Wuhan lab would not be heavily biased toward a pro-US narrative and used to manufacture international agendas to smash China, and there is every reason to believe it would be.

Have you ever wondered why the people indicted and detained by the International Criminal Court are always from weaker nations—overwhelmingly African—while far more deadly war criminals like George W Bush and Tony Blair walk free?

If US allies ever contemplate charging America's military with war crimes, they are threatened that they'll wind up on the wrong side of US military protection.

If ICC officials ever dare to cast their gaze upon the US government's behavior, Washington just laughs and sanctions them.

When the US was seeking UN authorization for the Gulf War in 1991, Yemen dared to vote against it, after which a member of the US delegation told Yemen's ambassador, "That's the most expensive vote you ever cast."

Or take the Organisation for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons, which began in 1997 as an independent international body working toward the elimination of chemical weapons from the world with great success.

Now the OPCW is a lackey of the US war machine whose leaders actively manipulate chemical weapons investigations to produce results which align with US imperialist interests.

Hell, look at the first international investigation into the origins of Covid, whose findings stayed far away from anything which would turn up the US scientific establishment's involvement in the controversial experiments at that very Wuhan lab.

There's no reason to believe an inquiry focused on the Wuhan lab wouldn't be rigged to hurt China while leaving the US empire looking clean as a whistle, whether the virus did in fact originate there or not.

When I point this out people act like it means I have some sort of aversion to the truth. "So you just don't want to know where the virus started?" they ask incredulously.

When I ask people how there could possibly be a fair and impartial investigation into the Wuhan lab, they can never answer me.

This is because we all know there is no possible scenario under which China or anyone else could trust that the US would not engage in the same kind of manipulations it always does.

I don't know where Covid-19 came from; there are many different theories, some of which cast doubt that the virus originated in China at all. I just know that viruses happen, that there's no reason for this to drive us apart, and that the US war machine is always untrustworthy.

Tom Cotton is such a disgusting warmonger that a Washington Post columnist once warned that he would be "most likely to start World War III" if he became president.

He's been openly saying for over a year that he plans on making China "pay" for Covid, and now he is seizing on the increasing acceptance of the theory that the virus may have escaped from a Wuhan laboratory to manufacture a demand for more cold war escalations against Beijing.

Tom Cotton's insatiable appetite for war throughout his entire adult life makes it abundantly obvious that he is the fourth kind.

I'll ask you the same question I've been asking everybody: investigated by whom? By what organizing body? How could you possibly assure all parties involved that it wouldn't be manipulated by the US, as the US literally always does with such things?

You say that like the US doesn't have narrative control locked down on the world stage. It clearly does. If it didn't the OPCW scandal would've made international headlines and caused a major upheaval.
