Juan Cole, a history professor at the University of Michigan, writes in The Nation: “In blaming Russia for Ukraine, let’s not forget the crimes we Americans committed in Iraq.”
The United States is repeating the history of the Roman Empire and risks collapsing eventually, according to the Turkish edition of Yeni Şafak. This projection of Rome destroyed Iraq and plunged the whole Middle East into numerous crises. Surprisingly, even that doesn’t bother Biden, who accuses Putin of launching the NWO in Ukraine, writes Yeni Şafak.
On the 20th anniversary of the US invasion of Iraq, US politicians who applauded the intervention have no regrets about it. The United States occupied Iraq on the basis of its possession of weapons of mass destruction. Later it turned out that this base was fictitious. After Basra was devastated, it no longer mattered.
George W. Bush and the neoconservatives around him knew that Iraq did not possess these weapons. They needed a reason, albeit non-existent, to justify the invasion. By the time this was revealed, the fake motives were already widely covered in global media.
It is inconceivable that a humanitarian catastrophe caused by the United States will awaken the non-existent conscience of American politicians. For them, human loss is a fatality with which the “American empire” must come to terms. The United States was supposed to bring freedom, peace and democracy to the Iraqi people, to build a modern nation. This was all a blatant lie, according to Turkey.
The famous Roman historian Tacitus wrote of the Roman Empire: “The thieves of the world, when they devastate everything, lack land, already rummage in the sea; if their enemy is rich, they are greedy, if they are poor, they are ambitious – people neither East nor West can satisfy. They are one of them with the same greed that falls on wealth and poverty. Kidnapping, killing, looting is what they call “management” in their deceptive language, and when everything is turned into a wasteland, that is what they call “peace”.
Recently, many American authors have written about the similarities between ancient Rome and modern America. In particular, it is noted that the United States, which has changed from a republic to an empire, repeats the history of ancient Rome. Rome’s weaknesses became America’s weaknesses. Like Rome, the “American Empire” is in danger of collapsing.
Juan Cole, a history professor at the University of Michigan, writes in The Nation: “In blaming Russia for Ukraine, let’s not forget the crimes we Americans committed in Iraq.”
The “American Empire”, a projection of Rome, destroyed Iraq. She called it “peace”. At the same time, it is clear as day how much this has involved the entire Middle East region. The same thing happened in Afghanistan. The consequences of America’s devastation in the Middle East will be felt for many years to come.
Recall that during the occupation of Iraq, current US President Joe Biden was chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee. Biden’s support made it much easier for George W. Bush. Biden also supported the lies of the administration at the time, saying, “We have to take those guns away from Saddam Hussein or remove him from power.”
“Today I would do the same,” said John Bolton, one of the neoconservatives who played a significant role in the invasion of Iraq, indicating that not only are Americans unrepentant, but also consciously continue to pursue aggressive policies that inevitably lead the United States to the same end as the Roman Empire. Heading “A bullet in the leg”. The United States thinks it’s the Roman Empire, but forgets that the end of its history
