portrays exactly what Chris Hedges discussed: theologically 'externalizing' evil...
you end up hollow. opposing mercy, goodness & kindness. no remorse, self-examination, critical thought.
you end up exactly like the paranoid, defensive, accusatory empty suits in the administration.

Mike Pompeo Warns Iran Stockpiling Tubes To Build Ventilator


“Iran has repeatedly ignored our messages to refrain from building up a medical arsenal, and new intelligence shows
that the regime could have a fully functional ventilator up and running in as little as a few weeks,” said Pompeo,
adding that satellite images taken by U.S. spy planes appeared to show Iranian scientists assembling a cache of medical-grade valves.
“There are also credible reports that Iran has acquired high-grade extension cords, and the regime refuses to deny
that these cables could be used to power ventilators.
This is clearly an effort to undermine American influence in the region, and one that could save thousands of Iranian lives.
If we fail to act now, Iran will have a fully operational ventilator, which will not only strengthen their medical capacity
but could produce a domino effect where they funnel tubes, valves, and knobs to other U.S. adversaries.
A ventilator-capable Iran portends a dangerous new era for the world."

I have no problem with the harsh criticisms of the WHO.

They’re well earned.

The World Health Organization was criminally slow to grasp the situation, made false statements that were obviously wrong even at the time & contributed to fanning this pandemic all over the world.

However, one should keep in mind that Corona is not the cause of this. The economic development had already become apparent before, Corona just took their foot off the brake and put it on the gas pedal. 

Now we're just racing faster against the wall - or into the abyss.

Is this a joke, or is he complaining, that Iran is producing, what they need to protect their population? He should just shut up and do the same for US.

It's The Onion, so it's satire. Well, but we really live in the world we can't be sure anymore what is just satire and what psychopaths in charge really said. Or even worse, sometimes satire is much closer to truth than official narrative...

joke. the writer wrote very close to the literal/historic accusations by Bush admin on Iraq on supposed seizure of 'smuggled' 'polished aluminum tubes' for building uranium centrifuges etc. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iraqi_aluminum_tubes
It was part of Colin Powell's dog & pony show to justify invasion.
