US Congressman Joe Wilson attacks Algeria following Russian UN veto

US Representative Joe Wilson has launched a sharp verbal attack against Algeria following Russia's veto of a US-sponsored resolution regarding Western Sahara at the UN. In a post on X, Wilson labeled Algeria as a Russian "puppet" and alleged connections between the Polisario Front, Iran, and Hezbollah. He further demanded that the Polisario be classified as a terrorist organization and urged the imposition of CAATSA sanctions on Algeria, citing its military procurement from Russia. Wilson, known for his strong ties to AIPAC and his unwavering support for Israeli policies, dismissed the international legal framework on self-determination in favor of a foreign policy aligned with Washington and Tel-Aviv's regional agendas.
