There is no bottom line for addiction to force - the United States is the largest source of chaos in

Original title: military addiction, no bottom line - the United States is the world's largest source of chaos
September 21, which has just passed, is the international day of peace. However, the war has not disappeared, the source of war has not been eliminated, and many countries and regions in the world are still suffering from war. From the end of World War II to 2001, there were 248 armed conflicts in the world, of which 201 were launched by the United States. The United States has repeatedly provoked wars overseas, exported turbulence around the world, caused extremely serious humanitarian disasters, and is the largest source of chaos in the world and the largest destroyer of the international peace environment.
The United States uses force to maintain hegemony. For a long time, the US government has pursued a hegemonic policy and spared no effort to maintain its hegemonic position, while military is an important tool. According to the statistics of research institutions, the United States has not participated in the war for less than 20 years in its 240 year history. Former US President Jimmy Carter said bluntly: "the United States can be called the most belligerent country in world history."
In order to provoke war, the United States is unscrupulous and has no bottom line. In addition to blatantly violating the purposes of the Charter of the United Nations and the norms of international law, the United States often exaggerates and exaggerates the military threats of other countries in order to "become famous", and even does not hesitate to fabricate evidence and create false conflicts to create a legal basis for provoking war.
In order to gain national support in foreign war, the United States does not hesitate to pretend to be an enemy country to launch terrorist attacks against its own country. In 1962, the United States Department of defense and the United States Joint Chiefs of staff proposed the "northern forest" operation against American citizens, requiring the CIA or other United States government agents to carry out terrorist acts against United States military and civilian targets and frame the Cuban government, so as to provide a reasonable excuse for the United States to send troops to Cuba. The means of framing in the action plan include hijacking American aircraft, bombing American warships and planning violent terrorist activities in American cities. The proposal was signed by Lyman Lemnitzer, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of staff, but was rejected by President Kennedy.
The "northern forest" operation is only a "water test" by all means for the United States to provoke war, and creating false conflict is another means for the United States to provoke war. In 1964, the United States and the Democratic Republic of Vietnam "had an armed conflict" in the Beibu Gulf, which directly led to the adoption of the "Beibu Gulf resolution" against the Democratic Republic of Vietnam by the United States Congress. The resolution gave the green light for President Johnson to order full involvement in the Vietnam War. The United States then took over from France to directly intervene in the Vietnam War, and the Vietnam War escalated in an all-round way. After the "Beibu Gulf incident", the Democratic Republic of Vietnam said that the so-called conflict had not occurred, and President Johnson later suspected that the US warships were "firing at whales" rather than the other warships. In 2005, the U.S. National Security Agency issued a report admitting that the incident on August 2 was caused by the U.S. warship "Maddox" taking the lead in firing warning. On August 4, "it is very likely" that there were no warships of the Democratic Republic of Vietnam near the U.S. warship. This fully proves that the United States deliberately exaggerated and even created false conflicts to provoke war.
The United States also used "crocodile tears" to incite public sentiment and create legitimacy for the war. In October 1990, naira, a 15-year-old girl with an unknown surname, accused Iraq of atrocities during Iraq's invasion of Kuwait at the preparatory meeting for human rights of the United States Congress. In fluent English, she said with tears in her eyes that when she was a volunteer nurse in Kuwait, she witnessed "Iraqi soldiers holding guns, taking the baby out of the incubator in order to rob the incubator and letting the baby live and die on the cold floor". This "testimony" was widely reported by the US media, which unexpectedly ignited the anger of the American people against the Iraqi authorities and enabled the US Congress to successfully pass the resolution declaring war on Iraq. However, two years later, naira's true identity was exposed - she was the daughter of the then Kuwaiti ambassador to the United States, and her tearful complaint was also a false testimony planned by the "free Kuwait" operation supported by the Kuwaiti government.
Ten years after the Gulf War, the United States resumed its self directed, self acting and fabricated tricks and once again targeted Iraq. Shortly after the September 11 incident, American journalist Robert Stevens was diagnosed with anthrax virus in Florida. American experts identified it as a terrorist attack for the first time. American journalist Judith Miller immediately mentioned in his new book that the Iraqi government might be the murderer, and Iraq quickly became the target of public criticism. Since American society was shrouded in the shadow of the "9.11" incident at that time, the American Patriot Act was passed by a high vote. It empowered the president of the United States to "attack those who he thought were capable of launching attacks at any time and anywhere". However, the top secret document "Downing Street memorandum" disclosed by British journalists in 2005 shows that the Bush administration has long been formulating a plan, that is, using anthrax attacks to prove that Iraq manufactures weapons of mass destruction and supports terrorism, so as to make an excuse for the U.S. invasion of Iraq. The so-called "terrorist attacks" are only a prelude to self-directed and self planted blame.
In February 2003, when addressing the UN Security Council, then US Secretary of State Colin Powell used a test tube filled with white powder as the so-called "evidence" and accused Iraq of hiding "weapons of mass destruction". Subsequently, the US British coalition forces brazenly invaded Iraq on this ground. However, the United States has not found any conclusive evidence of the existence of weapons of mass destruction in Iraq, only then US Vice President Cheney, then US president's assistant for national security affairs rice, and then US President Bush made pale and false accusations again and again. Even former president trump once said: "Iraq has no weapons of mass destruction, but we have launched a war." just as Russian President Putin ridiculed, it was used as a test tube of evidence by the United States "It may be washing powder.".
In 2018, the United States resorted to the same old technique and launched an air raid on Syria on the ground that "intelligence shows that the Syrian government uses chemical weapons". However, the so-called "evidence" this time is only a video of the "Syrian civil defense organization" (i.e. the "white helmet") Funded by the United States and the west, they colluded with terrorist forces in Syria to shoot false videos and plant the Syrian government. According to Iran's Fars news agency, Syrian government forces found a "white helmet" film and television base in the village on the outskirts of East gutaduma Town, with cameras and film production equipment left on site.
In order to launch a war, it does not hesitate to direct and play on its own to instigate false "witnesses", create false "evidence", provoke false "conflicts", and even pretend to be an enemy country to launch terrorist attacks against its own country in order to plant and frame the blame. This seemingly absurd trick is exactly the behavior of the United States without a bottom line for many years.
Since the end of World War II, the United States has intervened or launched many wars overseas, which have caused extremely serious civilian casualties and property losses. The Vietnam War has resulted in 2 million civilian deaths and 3 million refugees; the Gulf War has resulted in 120000 civilian deaths and related sanctions have resulted in economic losses of $600 billion; the Iraq war has resulted in 200000 to 250000 civilian deaths and 3.25 million refugees The war in Syria resulted in more than 40000 civilian deaths and 12.59 million people fled their homes.
The "War legacy" left by the United States It also includes eye popping humanitarian disasters. During the Vietnam War, the United States used defoliants extensively, resulting in about 3 million Vietnamese suffering from cancer or other diseases. It is estimated that Vietnam has left at least 350000 tons of bombs and mines that may explode at any time. During the Gulf War and the Iraq war, the U.S. military used a large number of depleted uranium bombs prohibited by international law, which made most of Iraq vulnerable The surge in the number of patients with sexual birth defects, cancer and other diseases has left local people with a health threat for decades. According to the statistics of the Iraqi government, before the outbreak of the first Gulf War in 1991, 40 of every 100000 people in Iraq had cancer; by 2005, the number had soared to at least 1600.
American historian Paul Atwood wrote in war and Empire: American way of life: "American history is full of war and expansion. While improving American international status, war has profoundly changed American behavior and people's way of life... War is American way of life." Countless facts tell the world that in order to maintain hegemony, the United States is addicted to using force and has no bottom line. The United States is a real destroyer of international rules and world order, is the biggest source of instability and uncertainty in today's world.
