Chinese embassy points to ‘real threat to the world’
RT | February 27, 2022
Chinese diplomats have published a list of US military adventures in recent decades, arguing that Washington was the “real threat” to the world, as the EU, the US, the UK, NATO, and the UN chief have all accused Moscow of an “unprovoked” attack on Ukraine.
The Chinese embassy in Russia on Saturday reposted an image originally shared by China’s Foreign Ministry spokesperson Lijian Zhao earlier this week showcasing the United States’ “Democracy World Tour.” Listing many of the incidents where the US had either bombed or invaded other countries since the end of the Second World War, the image noted that these nations represented “roughly one-third of the people on earth.”
“Never forget who’s the real threat to the world,” Zhao captioned the photo. The embassy added the same caption to its post, but in Russian.
The embassy went on to point out that 81% of wars between 1945 and 2001 were launched by the US, accusing Washington of “pouring oil” on the conflict in Ukraine.
On Saturday, Zhao took yet another swipe at Washington with an image listing “bomb attacks, sabotage, attempted regime change” by Washington. The diplomat accompanied the post with a hashtag #NeverForget.
China was one of the three nations that abstained from the voting on a United Nations resolution condemning Russia’s “aggression” against Ukraine after it was vetoed by Russia. The resolution demanded the immediate withdrawal of troops engaged in the Kremlin’s “special military operation” in Ukraine. Bloomberg reported on Saturday that at least two of China’s largest state-controlled banks limited financing to purchase raw materials from Russia, reportedly out of concern about US sanctions.

Ronald Reagan’s Torture
By Robert Parry | Consortium News | September 8, 2009
The 2004 CIA Inspector General’s report, released in August 2009, referenced as “background” to the Bush-era abuses the spy agency’s “intermittent involvement in the interrogation of individuals whose interests are opposed to those of the United States.” The report noted “a resurgence in interest” in teaching those techniques in the early 1980s “to foster foreign liaison relationships.”
The report said, “because of political sensitivities,” the CIA’s top brass in the 1980s “forbade Agency officers from using the word ‘interrogation” and substituted the phrase “human resources exploitation” [HRE] in training programs for allied intelligence agencies.
The euphemism aside, the reality of these interrogation techniques remained brutal, with the CIA Inspector General conducting a 1984 investigation of alleged “misconduct on the part of two Agency officers who were involved in interrogations and the death of one individual,” the report said (although the details were redacted in the version released to the public).
In 1984, the CIA also was hit with a scandal over what became known as an “assassination manual” prepared by agency personnel for the Nicaraguan Contras, a rebel group sponsored by the Reagan administration with the goal of ousting Nicaragua’s leftist Sandinista government.
Despite those two problems, the questionable training programs apparently continued for another two years. The 2004 IG report states that “in 1986, the Agency ended the HRE training program because of allegations of human rights abuses in Latin America.”
While the report’s references to this earlier era of torture are brief – and the abuses are little-remembered features of Ronald Reagan’s glorified presidency – there have been other glimpses into how Reagan unleashed this earlier “dark side” on the peasants, workers and students of Central America. … continue

The Chinese, Lijian ZHAO, is 100% correct. It is the Military Industrial Complex who have caused SO MUCH trouble in the World, since WWII.
As if the USA was the only country on Earth who could attack any country that was portrayed in their MSM as the “Villain de Jour”.
The USA cannot even run itself properly, gun crime, tax evasion by the “1%”, millions of Americans without jobs when the “1%” moved their factories offshore to Asian sweatshops. From the outside looking in, it looks like a gigantic looney bin. Sorry to be so honest.

Appetizingly presented, deliciously received and digested, and soooo right on! I am ashamed to be a citizen of the USA, a den of scoundrels, fifth-column Zionists (oops…repeating myself), state terrorists (oops…again), and would-be emperors — without clothes, as it were, and who will meet their fates in due course.
(I think I could make a case for expansion of the roster: Venezuela (economic sanctions, equivalent to acts of war), on Venezuela from (?) 2003 to present; China itself (from when? and ongoing); Iran (1979? and ongoing); Afghanistan (2001 to 2021 and ongoing, rather than the posted 2001-2015); Syria (actually since about 2007 and ongoing)…and surely others.)

I refer to the “Military Industrial Complex” rather than the USA because it is NOT the American people committing this long list of crimes(since 1960). The American Taxpayers have to pay for it(Not the Tax EVADERS) It is the Arms dealers and the “Influencers” within the Congress, who are destroying America’s reputation right around the World.
I don’t know why the American people put up with this criminal behaviour, year after year…….

The States of America is nothing more than a disease – it has delusions of grandeur and it’s not grand any more; it’s just a land mass
thanks to the do-not-belongs who have invaded our country. Benjamin Franklin tried in vain to keep the cockroaches out.
