Both President Obama and John Kerry have been trumping up the threats against Russia for "Breaking International Law," by their stationing of troops in the Russian speaking section of the Ukraine, the Crimea peninsula, (a section of the country, BTW, that WANTS Russian troops there); not to mention the Republican politicians, who are going crazy over this.
I've not heard ANYONE among the American politicians or the mainstream American media, even state, how HYPOCRITICAL this threatening talk and action is!
Why was it not "breaking international law" when the United States INVADED, BOMBED, and DESTROYED the "sovereign state" of Afghanistan in 2001? This is a country in which the United States not only killed at least tens of thousands, and tortured hundreds, but also destroyed the lives of millions. And, 13 years later, it is still occupying, with troops, this country!
And why was it not "breaking international law" when, in 2003, the United States again INVADED, BOMBED, and DESTROYED another "sovereign state," Iraq, where for the rest of the decade it tortured, killed, and again destroyed the lives of millions of Iraq's citizens.
And what about the United States invasion of, and ongoing killing in, Pakistan?
Then there is Venezuela, the latest of MANY countries in which the United States has used the CIA to destabilize the government and bring about a coup. They have been spending at least the past 12 years trying to bring down the democratically elected government of Venezuela. The loser of the
2013 election, Henrique Capriles, with his thug friend, Leopoldo Lopez, have been instigators of violence and their rich friends' media deceit since that DEFEAT, and Capriles would have long ago been ARRESTED if he had been a LEFT-winger doing the same things in the UNITED STATES! President Nicolas Maduro is actually showing much more patience with his opponents than the American FBI and police show with American activists!
Thus, I continue to affirm that the United States, rather than being "The World's Greatest Democracy," is ACTUALLY "The World's Greatest HYPOCRISY!"
