News - Middle East: Most of the people in the colonial oppressed countries still see the US as that “shining city on the hill,” despite being the cause of much of their miseries, according to an American political analyst.

“The people outside of the United States who love the US are winners in an American coup, their business community, and those who are so disenfranchised that they still see the United States as that 'shining city on the hill' and yearning to escape to there,”  Myles Hoenig told Press TV on Tuesday

“Americans have a sense of entitlement and 'exceptionalism' who feel the best things in life for the world is American-inspired. People without hope see America as a mecca and will do all they can to come here. Those who enjoy the riches that come with an American coup have little concern for these people, as austerity is usually the number one economic policy accepted by the new government. Austerity only hurts the poor and benefits the well off,” he added.

Hoenig was responding to a question posed by former Prime Minister of Pakistan Imran Khan who on Monday asked US President Joe Biden's administration whether anti-American sentiment in Pakistan had increased or decreased after "indulging in a regime change conspiracy".

“My question for the Biden Administration: By indulging in a regime change conspiracy to remove a democratically elected PM of a country of over 220 million people to bring in a puppet PM, do you think you have lessened or increased anti-American sentiment in Pakistan?” he tweeted.

Khan lost a no-confidence vote in his leadership last month after opposition parties brought a motion against him, following days of drama.

Shahbaz Sharif, the younger brother of three-time Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif, led the bid to topple Khan. He was later appointed the country’s new prime minister.

Khan, who had antagonized the White House throughout his tenure, has accused Washington of orchestrating his ouster. On Sunday, he repeated the allegations that a “foreign conspiracy” was behind efforts to remove him from power.
