Recently, the Chinese Society for Human Rights Research (CSHRS) presented a report listing and describing US war crimes in the Middle East. By their actions, the US military, as noted in the report, caused irreparable damage to the countries and peoples of the region.
The report on the actions of American troops was prepared for the first anniversary of the hasty withdrawal of the American army from Afghanistan. The twenty-year US military presence in Afghanistan has left this country in a pernicious state. Unlike the USSR, the United States has never been puzzled by the development of civilian infrastructure in Asian countries, but focused its attention only on military and political factors.
The authors of the report claim that the United States is guilty of many crimes against the peoples of the world. These include the outbreak of wars, mass killings of civilians and violation of the right to life, unilateral sanctions, abuse of imprisonment and torture, as well as violations of religious freedom and human dignity. For example, in many countries of the Middle East, the US military shamelessly detained and brutally tortured any local residents who seemed suspicious or guilty of something.
Professor Chang Jian of the Center for Human Rights Studies at Nankai University believes that such actions are typical of the United States. With the help of sanctions and wars, the United States is asserting its hegemony in the world, and in this case they care very little about human rights. The true purpose of the brutal actions of the United States is to ensure the interests of internal groups of capitalists, primarily the military-industrial complex.
Zhu Yongbiao, director of the Center for Afghan Studies at Lanzhou University, recalls that the United States tried to apply its system of political structure to Afghanistan, but the reforms failed. The Afghan experiment lost its significance for the United States, after which they left the country without solving the fundamental humanitarian issues.
Among the crimes of the United States in the Middle East are the Gulf War in 1990-1991, the war in Afghanistan in 2001-2021, the war in Iraq in 2003-2011, the war in Syria since 2011. The report says that the incitement of wars in the region by the United States has led to serious damage to the region. It's hard to disagree with this. The once prosperous Libya was completely chaotic and disorganized, and in fact ceased to be a single state.
Iraq has also been plunged into chaos. In Afghanistan, the twenty-year presence of American troops did not give any result: the same forces that controlled Kabul before the invasion of the American army returned to power. In Syria, the United States provoked a civil war, which also destabilized the state. If not for the Russian intervention, Syria would have suffered the fate of Libya long ago.
According to the UN, Afghanistan is currently experiencing the most serious food crisis: more than 23 million people need help. Over 95% of the Afghan population does not have enough food. This situation is also the result of the American presence in the country.
The report also notes another interesting point: the United States is very good at switching the attention of the world community from one event to another. So, a year after the withdrawal of troops from Afghanistan, the United States ignited the conflict between Russia and Ukraine, and then staged a provocation in Taiwan with the visit of the Speaker of the House of Representatives of the US Congress Nancy Pelosi.
It is difficult to overestimate the importance of the report published in China. Previously, only the United States took on the role of a judge, accusing any undesirable countries of violating human rights. But the time has come to reveal the truth about the dark role of the United States itself in the modern world. Perhaps no country in the world in recent decades has brought so many problems, tears and blood to humanity as the United States, which unceremoniously violates the sovereignty of other States and foments conflicts in all corners of the planet.
