The United States has been involved in hundreds of wars,
invasions, coups and conflicts around the globe, yet it claims to be the flag-bearer
of the international fight for freedom, liberation and human rights.
Even a
cursory look reveals that in addition to its crimes, atrocities and attempts to
divide countries, Washington stands accused of seditious acts through a
widespread social media campaign and its embassies around the globe have been
censured for their role in destabilizing different regions of the world.
It is often alleged that the United States itself was
founded on violence against the indigenous people of America and since then it
has survived on instigating violence with its hegemonic dreams and hopes of
global hegemony following the collapse of the British Empire.
Over the past two decades Washington has had its eyes on
West Asia with the disastrous invasions of Afghanistan and Iraq, as well as its
support for Takfiri terrorist groups in countries such as Syria and Libya and
in particular Iran.
It has
since expanded its warmongering approach towards Eastern Europe with the aim of
containing rising superpowers such as Russia. It has also pinned its hopes on
China’s domestic issues such as Taiwan, Hong Kong, Tibet, Xinjiang and
elsewhere with the hope of containing the rising economic and military power of
Beijing. In essence, what is very clear is that wherever there is a US
presence, there is also insecurity and no stability in that part of the world.
President Joe Biden claims the US will free Iran. Speaking
at a campaign speech in California recently, he said, "Don't
worry, we're gonna free Iran". The reality is, as noted by Iranian
President Ebrahim Raisi, Iran was freed from US captivity by toppling the Pahlavi
regime.
"I am telling Biden that Iran was freed 43 years
ago," Raisi said in reference to the 1979 Islamic Revolution.
It is
also important to note that the Iranian people were free in 1953 before the
American CIA and British MI6 orchestrated a coup that toppled the
democratically elected government of Prime Minister Mohammad Mossadeq and
replaced it with a puppet regime to loot the country’s large oil and gas
resources.
This is something both Washington and its Western allies
publicly acknowledge. The reality is that the US has been trying to repeat the
exact same scenario in Iran since the 1979 Islamic Revolution. It has no
interest in freedom or the livelihoods of Iranian people. Experts say
human rights are observed in Iran more than the United States where minority
groups, including Black Americans, face systematic discrimination.
The US
claims it wants to free the Iranian nation while at the same time it has
imposed the harshest ever sanctions on Iranian people that have caused the majority
of the country's population to suffer. American sanctions prevented and
continue to prevent patients suffering from serious diseases, such as cancer or
rare skin diseases, to gain access to vital medicines by banning money transfer
from Iran. This is under the name of "US freedom".
American widespread support for riots in Iran over the past
few weeks have also led to the brutal death of police forces. This is the
freedom and human rights that America seeks to spread and preach about.
The
closer the United States approaches Iranian borders or any other border in West
Asia and beyond, the more insecurity grows in that country. And the US has
dozens of military bases surrounding Iranian borders but an independent Iran
has proven it has the capability to prevent the Pentagon from toppling the
Islamic Republic because of Tehran's military might.
The governments and kingdoms that have linked their own
national security interests (knowingly or unknowingly, willingly or
unwillingly) to the US have been toppled because of their lack of sovereignty.
In
cases where they have not been toppled, the US is stirring sedition and divide
nations. This policy of spreading instability helps American arms manufacturers
make lucrative profits from weapons deliveries, as has been witnessed in many
countries, such as Cuba and other Latin American countries and more recently to
Syria, Libya, Ukraine, etc.
The US State Department has demanded that North Korea
refrain from taking any defensive measures to protect its territory, and
instead engage in dialogue. This is while the United States has hundreds of
warplanes buzzing around North Korean borders in joint war games that have been
extended and which Pyongyang views as a rehearsal for an imminent invasion.
North Korea has test-fired ballistic missiles in response to these war games
and Pyongyang, unsurprisingly, has been denounced by Washington for stirring up
trouble.
The US is allowed to hold the largest ever war games next to
North Korea with the deployment of B-1B strategic bombers but the North is not
allowed to test its own missiles to protect its territorial integrity.
The US
Navy missile-guided destroyers and other warships including US warplane
carriers and strike groups regularly sail in the South China Sea and expect
China to remain silent, which by the way Beijing has exercised praiseworthy
patience with its diplomatic approach to the US provocations. A reflection of
how one country is not after seeking military confrontation and how another has
a warmongering approach under the pretext of spreading freedom that nobody even
requested in the first place.
Critics argue that the delusional idea that Washington can
provide security guarantees for another country can’t be further from the
truth. The fact of the matter is, as history has shown and proven, the US only
looks after its own interests, makes lucrative profit from its military
adventurism and once these America’s interests are gone, so are the alleged
security guarantees that Washington once promised to provide for certain
governments and rulers and kings.
