Trump gebruikte woorden al 'evil' en 'rogue states' sprekend over bijvoorbeeld Noord-Korea en Iran.... Voorts vertelde het beest zijn gehoor fijntjes dat de VS geschiedenis laat zien, dat het 'altijd probeert' niet haar levenswijze op te dringen aan andere landen........ ha! ha! ha! ha! ha! ha! ha! ha! Nee, inderdaad dat doet de VS niet, men stelt gewoon haar eigen belang, zoals oliewinning, ver boven de soevereiniteit van andere landen........ Waarbij de VS dan wel als excuus aanvoert dat men democratie wil brengen, daarbij wijzend op zichzelf, alsof je nog van een functionerende democratie kan spreken in de VS.......
Opvallend overigens: alle negatieve zaken die Trump durfde op te sommen, zijn één op één toe te schrijven aan de VS........ Zo noemde hij terreur en het op gang brengen van enorme vluchtelingenstromen........ Een illegale oorlog tegen een land beginnen, is een grootschalige daad van terreur, grotere terreur is bijna niet te bedenken....... Met die terreur, waarbij enorme aantallen mensen (veel kinderen en vrouwen) zijn vermoord, zoals in Afghanistan, Irak, Libië en nu weer Syrië (waar de VS al vanaf 2006 bezig was met de voorbereiding van een opstand, die in een coup tegen Assad moest eindigen) heeft de VS inderdaad miljoenen mensen op de vlucht gejaagd.......
Iran moet stoppen met dood en vernietiging brengen in de regio, Iran is een moorddadig regime, zo lepelde Trump de woorden op, die Netanyahu in zijn 'oortje' fluisterde.........
Iran en Noord-Korea zijn deze eeuw en de vorige niet één oorlog begonnen, het aantal illegale oorlogen dat de VS sinds 1945 is begonnen ligt minstens boven de 17....... Sinds die tijd heeft de VS 'maar liefst' 22 miljoen mensen vermoord in illegale oorlogen, geheime militaire CIA missies (dit terreurorgaan wil nu ook een eigen drone-programma in Afghanistan), georganiseerde opstanden en staatsgrepen........
Hier een artikel over de toespraak van het beest, geschreven door Fréa Lockley, dat theCanary vandaag bracht:
The most horrifying truth about Trump’s UN speech was revealed by what he chose not to say [VIDEO]
US
President Donald Trump gave his first speech to
the UN General Assembly (UNGA) on 19 September 2017. He made frequent
references to ‘world peace’, and was critical of many countries
and regimes around the world. But it was what he didn’t say, and
the countries that he didn’t attack, that was most revealing –
and worrying.
The ‘strongest military ever’
Trump bragged that
the US “will be spending almost $700bn on our military and
defence”; and that “our military will soon be the strongest it
has ever been”. He also praised America’s
supposed history of not trying to “impose our way of life on
others”. And he claimed the
US is “guided by outcomes, not ideologies”.
The UNGA is
assembled from all 193 members. And it is the only UN organ where
each member nation has a vote. Speaking to representatives from these
countries, Trump mentioned ‘sovereignty’
(a state’s authority to govern itself) on numerous occasions. But
as he continued, it became increasingly clear that he was not
referring to all UN member states.
Trump spoke,
for example, of “small regimes” that the “righteous” needed
to “confront”. And the list of US ‘enemies’ began to flow.
And despite his references to respecting the sovereignty of other
nations, he went on to make threats and call for regime changes
around the world.
‘Total destruction’
As The
Canary has reported,
tensions between the US and North Korea have been rising. And Trump’s
latest rhetoric will do little to ease diplomatic relations. Not
least because he said:
The United States has great strength and patience, but if it is forced to defend itself or its allies, we will have no choice but to totally destroy North Korea.
While
the issue of sanctions for
North Korea is far from simple, and there was no mention of
the billions of
dollars the US will make selling weapons to South Korea, the threat
of ‘total destruction’ is unlikely to help anyone.
Hypocrisy
The
US President then turned his attentions to Iran, calling it
a “murderous regime” which “masks a corrupt dictatorship behind
the false guise of a democracy”.
But not because of democracy or human rights. Instead, his hostility is largely because Iran’s regional enemies, Saudi Arabia and Israel, are US allies; because there’s a barely reported conflict occurring over oil pipelines in the Middle East; and because Iran does not bend easily to America’s will.
Although
both Iran and Saudi
Arabia have
equally poor human rights records,
for example, Trump made no criticism at all of Saudi Arabia. In fact,
he claimed that
Iran had “fuel[ed] Yemen’s civil war”, while
completely ignoring Saudi Arabia’s key role – and
alleged war
crimes –
in the Yemeni conflict.
Nor
did Trump mention the ongoing atrocities committed
by Israel in the Occupied Palestinian Territories. So it comes as no
surprise that, since Trump’s speech, Israel’s Prime Minister
Benjamin Netanyahu has said:
In over 30 years in my experience with the UN, I never heard a bolder or more courageous speech.
Trump
also criticised Iran
for ‘restricting internet access’, ‘shooting unarmed student
protesters’, and ‘imprisoning political reformers’. But there
was no mention of US allies like Turkey which
have reportedlycommitted
the same abuses.
Guided by outcomes, not ideologies? Really?
Trump
then got ideological. He first targeted Cuba,
calling it a “destabilizing regime”; even though Cuba has
recently helped Colombia
to end its decades-long civil war.
He
also called Venezuela’s
democratically elected government a “socialist dictatorship”,
saying its people were “starving”. But while trying to score
political points over Venezuela –
an oil-rich nation
which the US has long sought to manipulate by pushing large amounts
of money into
opposition hands, Trump essentially ignored the widespread famine
across Africa that is also deeply rooted in political issues;
a crisis that now threatens over 20
million people and
which Oxfam has called the
“largest hunger emergency in the world”.
"From the Soviet Union to Cuba to Venezuela, wherever true socialism or communism has been adopted, it has delivered anguish and devastation and failure".
Apart
from his inaccurate comparison of socialism and ‘communism’, Trump
also failed to mention China; a nominally communist country which
some forecast will
overtake the US as the world’s biggest economy in the coming years.
Perhaps Trump’s silence had something to do with his recent trade
deal with Beijing?
A dangerous rant, not a speech…
Trump’s
UN rant about the countries he didn’t like wasn’t surprising. But
it was what he didn’t say that was most revealing – and
dangerous. For example, there was no mention of:
- The alleged ethnic cleansing of Rohingya Muslims in Burma (Myanmar), which has forced 400,000 refugees to flee the country in recent weeks.
- The alleged war crimes in Yemen of the Saudi Arabian dictatorship (a Western ally heavily linked to terrorism).
- The alleged war crimes in both Turkey and Syria of the increasingly authoritarian Turkish regime of President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan (and its alleged links to terrorism).
- The dismal human rights record of Western ally Mexico, including the forced ‘disappearance’ of 43 student teachers in 2014; the murder of thousands of women every year; frequent accusations of rigged elections [Spanish]; and being one the most difficult and dangerous places in the world to be a journalist.
Essentially,
Trump revealed in his speech a belief in the sovereignty of countries
that are US allies; and a belief in regime change in countries that
are not US allies. He also showed that he is perfectly happy to
exploit human rights abuses for his own political benefit, as long as
it’s not America’s friends committing those abuses. It was not a
speech about peace or human rights. It was Trump laying out his
hypocritically aggressive politics for the whole world to see.
