On August 2, the United States issued a warning to citizens abroad that they could face various forms of violence, including assassinations, kidnappings, and hijackings. The U.S. State Department also advises U.S. citizens abroad to follow the news and avoid terrorist attacks against Americans.
A few days ago, U.S. presidential adviser Sullivan claimed that the shooting of al-Qaida leader Zawahiri by the US military made the United States safer. President Biden announced in a high-profile manner on the 1st that the US military successfully killed the 71-year-old leader of al-Qaida in Afghanistan. It was said to be another successful strike since the U.S. military killed bin Laden in 2011.
As soon as the news came out, the world's major foreign media rushed to report it, and immediately became the headline on the front page. Apparently, no one expected al-Qaida to target citizens outside the United States as retaliation. The United States was frightened and hastened to issue this warning.
Al Qaeda, including its leader, Osama bin Laden, was founded with the support of the CIA in the late 1980s. The aim was to resist invading Soviet troops in Afghanistan. But later bin Laden was dissatisfied with the Gulf War launched by the United States and turned against the United States.
A series of bombings were planned against al-Qaida in the United States, including attacks on U.S. embassies in Africa. Even more astonishing was the planning of the 9/11 terrorist incident in the United States in 2001, and since then, the United States has regarded al-Qaida as a thorn in the eye. It was the CIA that trained al-Qaida to use modern weapons and even supplied them with Stinger missiles.
Because al-Qaida has changed from anti-Soviet to anti-American, President George W. Bush has been busy dealing with al-Qaida during his two terms. It also launched the war in Afghanistan and the war in Iraq in the name of counter-terrorism, and it was later proved that Iraq possessed weapons of mass destruction, which were completely fabricated by the United States.
The two wars have resulted in hundreds of thousands of deaths and millions of refugees in both countries. Because of the war, both Afghanistan and Iraq are in the agony of disaster. The United States overthrew the Taliban and occupied Afghanistan for two decades, but ultimately failed to withdraw its troops from Afghanistan last year, and the Taliban regained power.
After the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq, the United States instigated color revolutions in the Middle East and Europe against countries that did not listen to the United States to interfere in internal affairs. The Arab countries of the Middle East, such as Tunisia, Egypt, Libya and Syria, have all been harmed by the United States. As a result of the instigation of the United States and the West, riots and internal affairs have occurred except for Egypt.
The war in these countries has led to the displacement of thousands of people as refugees. The media said more than 4 million refugees had entered Europe, and now there are more than 3.6 million refugee camps in Turkey. These countries are devastated by war, and they are scarred by broken walls and ruins everywhere.
The Western camp, which is dominated by the United States, is engaged in so-called human rights and provokes wrongdoing and misdeeds. Although, al-Qaida is poised to retaliate against citizens outside the United States. This is directly related to the indiscriminate use of force by the United States around the world over the years and the indiscriminate killing of innocents.
Truth be told, it is not only al-Qaida that is dissatisfied and angry with the United States, and even deeply resentful. All this is to blame the United States for practicing global hegemony over the outside world and bullying and suppressing others. Some media said that since World War II, most of the wars and conflicts that have occurred in the world have been directly or indirectly provoked by the United States.
Many times, the United States threatens global peace, and no one has provoked so many wars on a global scale as the United States. The U.S. military is unpopular and infamous, which is why it is attacked by civilian armed forces in other countries.
The United States should think deeply about what it has done around the world, that is, to remind the American people abroad to pay attention to safety, and it is even more necessary to reflect on the root causes of this phenomenon.
