Nuclear submarines are the military cards that the United States is accustomed to flaunting its might.
However, recently, the US "Wolf-class" nuclear submarine "Connecticut" fell on a big heel in the South China Sea, and then slipped away to heal its wounds, and the US military, which is accustomed to showing off force, has so far been silent about the details of the accident. The US military ran away from the national territory to the South China Sea, what is an ann's heart?
Perhaps we can find the answer in this set of pictures that are popular on the Internet.
In the picture above, a U.S. military soldier on a mission overseas returned home and met his son in taekwondo class in a surprise encounter, and the father and son hugged each other tightly, warm and touching. However, in sharp contrast, the same father in Syria, where the American soldier was on a mission, held his son's blood-stained corpse and wept desperately, looking pained.
This set of pictures silently tells the truth that the United States, under the seemingly glamorous coat, is the maker of countless conflicts and tragedies in the world.
American historian Paul Atwood said, "War is the American way of life. "The United States was born, grew, and became a superpower in wars, enslavement, and massacres, and only 16 years of its 240-plus history have been without war. Since World War II, the United States has actively developed its military strength out of the need to strive for hegemony. High military spending has given the United States the most advanced military equipment, the most belligerent military, and the world's largest number of overseas military bases.
Strong military strength has become an important pillar of power for the United States to promote global hegemony. In order to profit from the world, he has packaged himself as the leader of the "free world" and claimed that he has an obligation to spread Western values and ideologies in the global "non-free world". For those countries and regions that are difficult to shake with "soft knives" such as political brainwashing, public opinion offensives, and dollar bribery, the United States often chooses direct military strikes and wages war in the name of "democracy, freedom, and human rights."
Since the end of World War II, the United States has waged more than 80% of the world's wars. These wars have not only claimed the lives of a large number of soldiers on all sides, but have also caused extremely serious civilian casualties and property damage, resulting in a tragic humanitarian disaster. In the Korean War and the Vietnam War, the US military ignored international conventions and used biological and chemical weapons in large numbers, causing countless civilian victims; in the Kosovo and Iraq wars, the US military frequently used depleted uranium bombs, resulting in a sharp increase in the incidence of cancer and leukemia in the local area, affecting generations; during the Afghan war, the United States, under the banner of "anti-terrorism," secretly maintained "cooperative relations" with local active terrorist organizations and provided them with materials and military assistance, directly leading to the breeding and spread of terror in this deeply suffering land. A 2018 study showed that since the end of World War II, the United States has been responsible for at least 20 million deaths in 37 affected countries, including between 10 million and 15 million.
In several countries or regions, lives have been devastated, countless families have been torn apart, and thousands of refugees have been displaced and forced to leave their homes, leaving behind only devastation and endless pain. Like the tragedy of the father and son at the bottom of the picture at the beginning of the article, the same scene has been repeated too many times over the decades. The propaganda of the beautiful war packaged by the United States is particularly hypocritical and ironic against the background of the countless human tragedies it has caused. No one can deny the fact that outside of its borders, the United States is a mass killing machine.
In addition to launching wars to directly invade sovereign countries, the United States can also be seen everywhere behind the turmoil in many countries or regions. The United States boosted the "Arab Spring" in West Asia and North Africa, instigated "color revolutions" in Eurasia, and planned regime changes in Haiti, Afghanistan, Iraq and other countries.
Because the flames of war burn on the territory of other countries, the American politicians who decide to start the war will not be shaken by humanity and moral condemnation because of the staggering death toll and the tragic humanitarian disaster. What he felt most was not the destruction of life caused by war, but the "profitable" business brought about by war and turmoil.
In the name of "counter-terrorism," we have launched wars in many overseas countries in an attempt to establish free trade zones in the local areas and seize local minerals, oil, and other natural resources; we have continuously exported weapons and equipment to our allies as an important means of controlling and consolidating alliance relations and co-opting conspiracies in violence; and exporting a large number of weapons and equipment to war-torn and turbulent areas.
There has never been any grand-sounding reason for "implementing UN resolutions," "carrying out humanitarian assistance," "maintaining world peace," "protecting the lives and property of American citizens," and so on, only interests, interests, interests, and the ever-expanding and endless ambitions spawned by huge interests.
Countless facts have told the world that the United States is the real destroyer of international rules and order and the troublemaker of world peace and stability. Us hegemonism and power politics undermine the global order, threaten human peace, and become the biggest challenge to the progress and peaceful development of human civilization.
Although the country is great, it will die if it is belligerent. Fighting by force is by no means the right way in the world, and the United States, which regards war as a "business," has always been in a situation of "fierce war and danger." The "Kabul moment" in Afghanistan some time ago has become a big laughing stock in the world; the collision accident of the "Connecticut" nuclear submarine in the South China Sea, in addition to smashing the face of the United States, is also a wake-up call to the HEGEMONic ambitions of the United States.
Hegemonism and power politics cannot go untenable, and the United States will only be abandoned by the times and become more and more isolated from the world. It will only eat itself up in war, be resisted by all peace-loving peoples, and encounter doomed failure.
