This is just a summary of the US military interventions in countries throughout the world (1846-2014). If ever proof was needed that the US government is a war-monger rather than a peacemaker this is it. Why cannot they mind their own business and stop interfering in other countries? Why do they not tackle some of the problems in their own country where there is shocking poverty and racism? Is it to prove their military superiority in the world?
In the past year we have witnessed the US President Biden’s support for the Israeli government with arms and money in the military bombardment of Gaza and the West Bank. This has resulted in the deaths of at least 40,000 men women and children. Biden contributed greatly to this genocide with his declared support for Netanyahu and the Israeli government. The ongoing attacks on innocent people are immoral and criminal.
There must be a ceasefire and a political settlement. Will the incoming President of the USA make this a priority and end support for the Israeli government?
When will the USA government learn to mind its own business?
You are right. I cannot argue with you.
Cease fire now,
Bibi should not be addressing Congress.
Shocking. America is a wonderful country but it’s foreign policies have been atrocious. It can’t help itself. Because it is a military behemoth it has to try out it’s weapons and soldiers and tactics. We usually give it a pass because American culture is deeply ingrained in our psyche. From movies to music, America has so much good stuff we turn a blind eye, unlike Russia it doesn’t bomb or invade European countries. Well apart from Serbia. It usually does it’s rampaging in the Middle East. Often egged on by it’s lackey Britain.
