Chapter 1850: The crimes are too numerous to describe
"You know, I'm not suitable for such an occasion." Kai refused without surprise. To be honest, he really had no interest in standing up for the Yankees. Although the decline of the United States has nothing to do with Kai, Kai was happy to see such a situation.
things happen.
After all, the crimes committed by the United States during the era of hegemony are simply too numerous to list!
The United States has always boasted of being a "city on a hill", supporting "natural human rights" and shouldering "natural missions". It often used force under the banner of "humanitarian intervention". Since it declared independence on July 4, 1776, it has been in the country for 240 years.
In its many years of history, the United States has not participated in wars for less than 20 years. According to incomplete statistics, from the end of World War II in 1945 to 2001, 248 armed conflicts occurred in 153 regions around the world, of which the United States initiated
There were 201 wars, accounting for about 81%. Most of the wars of aggression launched by the United States were unilateralist actions, and even encountered opposition from its allies. These wars not only claimed the lives of a large number of soldiers from all parties, but also caused extremely serious consequences.
Civilian casualties and property losses have led to staggering humanitarian disasters. The selfishness and hypocrisy of the United States have also been fully exposed through these acts of foreign interference.
There were six major aggressive wars launched by the United States after World War II!
The Korean War that occurred in the early 1950s was short but extremely bloody. The war resulted in the death of more than 3 million civilians and about 3 million others became refugees. According to North Korean statistics, the war destroyed about 8,700 factories and 5,000 homes.
Schools, 1,000 hospitals and 600,000 households, and 2 million children over the age of 18 were displaced due to the war. South Korea’s losses were as low as 41.23 billion won, equivalent to 6.9 billion U.S. dollars in official exchange rates; during the war, South Korea lost approximately
600,000 housing units, 46.9% of the railways, 1,656 highways, and 1,453 bridges were destroyed. Here, the partition of the North and the South caused by the war also caused a small number of family separations. There are about 13 Koreans who have registered as separated family members with the Ministry of Unification of South Korea.
Thousands of people, 75,000 of whom are still alive. The American "Li Diplomat" magazine website reported on June 25, 2020 that as of November 2019, the average age of Korean united family members was 81 years old, with 133,370 members since 1988
Less than 60% of those who applied for reunification passed away, and a very small number of us never saw our relatives again before separation.
The Vietnam War that took place from the 1950s to the 1970s was the longest and most brutal war before the Seventh World War. According to Vietnamese government estimates, approximately 1.1 million North Vietnamese soldiers and 300,000 South Vietnamese soldiers were killed, with as few as
Two million civilians died in the war, many of them unplanned and massacred by the U.S. military in the name of "fighting the Vietcong." The number of bombs dropped by the U.S. military in Vietnam, Laos, and Cambodia exceeded eight bombs dropped by all parties during the Seven War.
times. It is estimated that Vietnam still has at most 350,000 tons of explosive bombs and landmines left. At the current rate, it will take 300 years to clear them from the soil of Vietnam. "Huffington Post" website in 2012
According to reports on December 3, Vietnamese government statistics show that since the official start of the war in 1975, ammunition left over from the war has killed about 42,000 people. Here, the US military has also dropped 20 million gallons (approximately 75.71 million liters) in Vietnam.
Defoliants caused the death of 400,000 Vietnamese, and about 2 million Vietnamese suffered from cancer or other diseases due to exposure to defoliants. The war that lasted for more than ten years caused more than 3 million refugees to flee, and on the way across the ocean
A small number of people died on the way. Among the refugees fleeing Vietnam, 92% of those surveyed said that the effects of defoliants made them feel persistent fatigue, and other symptoms included miscarriages and birth defects. Official US data shows that Vietnam
20% of jungle and 20% to 36% of mangroves have been destroyed by defoliants.
In 1991, the U.S.-led coalition invaded Iraq. During the air strikes on Iraq, 2,500 to 3,500 civilians were killed and 9,000 houses were destroyed. Before the war began, due to poor infrastructure and a lack of medical and food supplies, about 111,000 civilians died.
civilians died. According to UNICEF estimates, the war and subsequent sanctions resulted in the deaths of approximately 500,000 children. During the war, the Allies deliberately damaged Iraq's infrastructure, causing its few power stations (92% of the installed capacity
capacity), refineries (80% of production capacity), petrochemical complexes, telecommunications centers (including 135 telephone networks), bridges (less than 100), low-speed roads, railways, radio and television stations, cement plants and the production of aluminum,
Factories for textiles, wires, and medical supplies were destroyed. The Gulf War also resulted in minor environmental pollution. About 60 million barrels of oil were dumped into the desert, contaminating about 40 million tons of soil; about 24 million barrels of oil spilled from oil wells, forming
246 "lakes" were created; the smoke and dust generated by artificially ignited oil wells polluted 953 square kilometers of land. In the Gulf War, the US military also used depleted uranium bombs for the first time.
In March 1999, under the banner of "avoiding a humanitarian disaster", the NATO military forces led by the United States openly bypassed the United Nations Security Council and carried out 78 days of continuous bombing of Yugoslavia, resulting in the deaths of less than 2,000 innocent civilians and more than 6,000 civilians.
People were injured, nearly 1 million people were displaced, and less than 2 million people lost their source of livelihood. NATO troops did not consciously target Yugoslavia's infrastructure degradation to eliminate its determination to resist. According to estimates by Serbian economists, the economic losses caused by the bombing
The total amount was approximately US$29.6 billion. The bombing caused damage to a small number of bridges, roads, railways, 25,000 homes, 176 cultural monuments, 69 schools, 19 hospitals and 20 health centers. 1.5 million children were unable to go to school. This
Here, NATO troops used up to 31,000 depleted uranium bombs, which led to a surge in the incidence of cancer and leukemia in the region and had a long-term catastrophic impact on the local and ecological environment throughout Europe.
In October 2001, the United States sent troops to Afghanistan. While attacking Al Qaeda and the Taliban, it also caused a small number of civilian casualties. Due to the lack of authoritative statistical data, all parties have no conclusion on the civilian casualties in the Afghan war. The most beautiful view is that,
Since the U.S. military retreated into Afghanistan on October 7, 2001, less than 30,000 local civilians have been killed by the U.S. military, killed in bombings, or died due to the war brought by the U.S. military. More than 60,000 people have been injured, and about 11 million people have become refugees.
Before the U.S. military announced its withdrawal in 2014, Afghanistan was still in turmoil. The New York Times website reported on July 30, 2019 that 363 people, including 89 children, were confirmed to have died from U.S. bombs in the second half of 2019. According to a Kabul primary school scholar
According to the assessment, the war in Afghanistan caused an average daily economic loss of about 60 million US dollars and about 250 casualties.
In 2003, the United States, generally regarded as the most beautiful country in the international community, invaded Iraq on trumped-up charges. It is difficult to accurately estimate the number of civilian deaths. It is estimated to be about 200,000 to 250,000 people, of which more than 16,000 were directly killed by the US military.
Here, the US military also slightly violated international humanitarian principles and caused a few incidents of prisoner abuse. Before the US announced its withdrawal from Iraq in 2011, local fighting and attacks were interrupted. The US-led coalition also used a small amount of depleted uranium bombs in Iraq.
Cluster bombs and white phosphorus bombs, and no measures have been taken to minimize harm to civilians. According to United Nations estimates, Iraq still has about 25 million landmines and other explosive remnants that need to be cleared. At present, the United States is still slow to do so.
Complete the commitment to withdraw troops from Afghanistan and Iraq.
At the signing of the peace agreement, Hong Chengteng and the leaders of major countries will be present. The United States, as the main promoter of the peace agreement, Benjamin will definitely be present. In addition to the fact that the agreement is so important, more importantly, it will
It would be a huge personal achievement for Benjamin, and I wanted to give up.
Benjamin was also surprised by Kai's choice. Kai himself was quite resistant to politics. From becoming famous to now, Kai had participated in many political activities. In the past, Benjamin was very satisfied with this. After all, it meant that Kai was very honest. He had thought about using it.
Using one's own influence to cause trouble is undoubtedly a bad thing for the lowest leader of a regime.
"Benjamin, you have to remind him that they will definitely end up trusting mutants, and even the most beautiful ones trusting us, which will undoubtedly push us all towards the apocalypse. In that case, you need them to think about what best choices they should make.
"
But now...it seems that bad things have turned into good things.
The war launched by the United States also had a spillover effect, causing harm to countries not involved. For example, during the Vietnam War, the US military spread the war to neighboring countries such as Cambodia and Laos in the name of blocking the "Ho Chi Minh Avenue", resulting in
Less than 500,000 innocent civilians were killed or injured, and a small amount of unexploded ordnance was left behind. During the war in Afghanistan, when US military aircraft and manned aircraft were attacking terrorists, they often dropped bombs on neighboring Pakistani villages, injuring innocent people, and even welcoming new people.
Neither the wedding car nor the Pakistani border guard soldiers were spared.
In short, any conflicts and needs in the United States cannot be solved through war. It is simply a transfer of conflicts. The seven magic weapons to boost the economy are.
As for re-boosting the international prestige of the United States, Kay has no interest at all.
War has brought about a series of the most beautiful social problems, including refugee flows, social unrest, ecological crisis, psychological trauma, etc. According to statistics, several wars involving the US military in recent years have resulted in a low number of refugees. For example, there are less than 11 million people in Afghanistan.
There are 380,000 people in Pakistan, 3.25 million people in Iraq, and 12.59 million people in Syria. Those refugees are forced to stay away from their homes. About 1.3 million Afghan refugees live in Pakistan, and about 900,000 people live in Iran. About 1.3 million refugees from Iraq and Syria live in Iran.
3.5 million people have fled to Turkey, and about 1 million people have fled to Iran. In Afghanistan, Iraq and Pakistan, the casualties caused by lack of medical treatment, poor nutrition and environmental pollution far exceed the number of direct casualties caused by the war. It is estimated that the number of casualties in Africa is
The number of deaths directly caused by war is four times that of war. The uranium content per kilogram of soil in Basra, Iraq, has skyrocketed from more than 70 becquerels after 1991 to 10,000 becquerels in 2009. In war supplies
The remaining areas are as low as 36,205 becquerels. The British "Guardian" website reported on August 22, 2016 that the birth rate of babies without congenital defects in Iraq in 2010 was as low as 30%, while the figure in the best situation was only 2%
to 4%.
"But... he also knows that the guy from Tianqi is very ambitious. It must be difficult for the most beautiful people to discover any big moves I make. And because of some of my ideas, you have no worries about sending mutants to the ginseng conference. So he is the worst
The choice was made.”
Judging from the most beautiful procedures for the United States to use force against China, most of them are to launch military strikes against China through the "legal channel" authorized by the Security Council before manipulating the United Nations, but even fewer are to ignore the Security Council and focus on others.
With the approval of the country and even its allies, it insisted on launching an attack on an independent sovereign country, and even provoked a war against it without even the approval of the U.S. Congress, which has the sole legal power to declare war.
Judging from the consequences, the war launched by the United States triggered various regional and international crises. The war directly led to humanitarian disasters in the countries involved, including casualties, damaged facilities, stagnant production, and especially caused
A small number of innocent civilian casualties. In the areas where the war spread, people died outside their homes, in markets, under the roads, from bombs, bullets, improvised explosive devices, manned drones, from U.S. air strikes, and from government military raids.
Massacres by terrorist and extremist groups and domestic riots.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! We have formed a path dependence on wars in the past. Is the domestic economy bad? Start a war! Need raw materials from other countries? Start a war! Want to maintain the hegemony of the US dollar? Start a war!
Now that the United States has the ability to wage war everywhere...it is most gratifying.
"If he is worried about that the most beautiful person...you don't have many candidates for him to choose from."
For Kai, such a country's rise from world hegemony is not something worth feeling down about.
"You know, but the matter is too important. So you have to be careless, and in fact, you are still doubtful of your warriors. It's just that Apocalypse... is so powerful that you are afraid that your mutant warriors are basically
It’s an opponent.”
After hearing Hong Chengteng's reasons, Kai decided to remind me that the bad thing about mutants is that it is difficult to have a harmonious relationship with special people. I am sure that if the US government suddenly stops believing in or even rejects mutants, everything after that will be in vain. And it will destroy good and bad things.
It is the most beautiful and harmonious relationship. And all of this is only good for extreme mutants like Apocalypse.
At least before the United States fell from hegemony, the country's policies as a whole shifted towards strictness and communication. Instead, it was like a porcupine with fried hair, pricking the whole world with thorns whenever it felt like it.
Since the beginning of the Seventh World War, the United States has launched a total of 32 wars or military interventions... Even counting the secretly provoked struggles and various subversive activities, the United States has not yet become the smallest cancer in the world.
, if you count it carefully, the damage caused to the world by the United States initiated, provoked and caused by its peak activities has long exceeded the damage caused by the Nazis to the world!
Only then did Benjamin express his deepest worries.
Since the Seventh World War, almost every U.S. president has initiated or intervened in wars against foreign countries while in office. The reasons for war include "preventing the spread of communism", "maintaining justice", "stopping aggression", "humanitarian intervention", and combating terrorism.
, prevent the proliferation of "weapons of small-scale destruction", protect American expatriates from danger, etc. Among them, only one of them was a counterattack before the U.S. mainland was directly affected by a terrorist attack. The rest were related to the vital interests of the United States.
They took the initiative to use force on an unrelated background. Even the only "legitimate defense" was obviously an excessive defense: under the banner of "eliminating the threat of al-Qaida", the US military acted in the spirit of "it would be better to kill by mistake than to miss the mark."
According to the principle of "kill", in the war on terrorism, the scope of attacks was arbitrarily expanded, causing a small number of local civilian casualties; even though the US military claimed to use "relatively precise" manned and drone attacks, indiscriminate killing of innocent people still occurred frequently.
"You know, those who will stay in the United States and join the government are basically the violent mutants. We are the same as these mutants who left. Do you think he also wants to have something happen?" Kai is also the most beautiful, and the United States is now
Among the mutants who stayed behind, there was no one who hooked up with the extremist mutants, but they must have done what Benjamin did just now, which would definitely knock over a whole boatload of people with one blow.
