A 44 page report by Amnesty International declares that the US Government gave $1.3billion worth of arms to ISIS in 2016. This comes in the backdrop of Hillary Clinton admitting that the US created Al Qaeda https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=Dqn0bm4E9yw<\/a>. Both entities are supposed to be targets of the US War on Terror. How does that make sense when the US is allegedly arming, training and even funding these terror movements which are killing American soldiers too? Today, the US Government has become a laughing stock on world stage. On the one hand their envoys are producing the red card to other countries of the world tutoring them on law & order, human rights, good governance and democracy while in reality US has the world\u2019s worst record sheet and US or its officials have any moral right to be commending or ordering any country without addressing America\u2019s crimes and illegalities. $4 trillion dollars later has been spent on this bogus War-on-Terror\/Humanitarian-R2P<\/p>\n

It is said that since 1945 America\u2019s crusade of \u2018delivering democracy\u2019 entrenched in the The Plan for a New American Century\u201d (PNAC) has resulted in the deaths of 20 to 30milion lives and uses nomenclatures like Doctrine of Humanitarian Warfare, right to protect\u201d (R2P), William Blum says since 1945 the US has bombed 23 nations.<\/p>\n

Korea:1943-1953<\/strong><\/p>\n

Indonesia: (1958-1965) \u2013 CIA <\/strong>armed, trained and equipped rebels and ousted Sukarno and brought Dictator Suharto to power. Documents at George Washington University\u2019s National Security Archive confirmed how effectively the Indonesian army used the U.S.-prepared hit list against the Indonesian communist party in 1965-66.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Vietnam: (1954-1965) <\/strong>U.S. began CIA-directed internal sabotage operations against the Vietnamese while setting up the puppet Ngo Dinh Diem (brought to Vietnam from the U.S.) as our\u201d political leader.<\/p>\n

The 1999 Kosovo conflict became the first humanitarian war using NATO to bomb Serbia based on a non-existent genocide. US went to the extent of even substituting the uncooperative UN Secretary General Boutros Boutros-Ghali with the subservient NATO shill, Kofi Annan (Luciana Bohne)<\/p>\n

That Kosovo precedent has paved the way for incursions upon sovereign nations Afghanistan, Iraq, Libya, Syria, Mali, Nigeria, Somalia, Kenya, Ukraine, Yemen and now it is slowly galvanizing towards Asia. military destabilization of sovereign states has led to the forceful surrender of sovereignty to secure globalization through trade pacts beneficial to Western corporates only to usher global neoliberalism and to secure the world\u2019s economic power under their complete control. All of America\u2019s military\/humanitarian interventions have not produced a single success story. Instead, death, destruction, chaos, anarchy, tidal waves of refugees, displaced have arisen.<\/p>\n

If the ISIS is supposed to be the enemy and US troops are being sent to defeat this enemy, why is the US government giving arms to the enemy? Did President Obama not say I will not hesitate to take action against ISIL in Syria as well as Iraq\u201d and incidentally even he was surprised why he was recipient of the Nobel PEACE prize!!!<\/p>\n

How America Gets Away with Murder: Illegal Wars, Collateral Damage and Crimes Against Humanity by Michael Mandel covers the illegal war on Iraq in 2003, invading a nation despite no evidence of weapons of mass destruction and neither had Iraq even threatened the US or its Allies to justify self-defense. Such a war of aggression was an international crime for which Bush, Rumsfeld, Powell, General Franks, Susan Rice, Tony Blair, Jack Straw et all are guilty for the murder of thousands of people, grievous injuries to thousands more<\/p>\n

The Bureau of Investigative Journalism<\/em> reported that PR firm, Bell Pottinger was tasked to produce fake Al Qaeda propaganda films and received $540m\u00a0between May 2007 and December 2011. According to former video editor Martin Wells of Bell Pottinger, these videos were planted during raids and shown. http:\/\/www.independent.co.uk\/news\/world\/us-government-pentagon-fake-al-qaeda-propganda-videos-a7348371.html<\/a><\/p>\n

The US Government through statements by the envoys or through numerous NGOs that it funds chides countries about treating its minorities. This is the same country that carried out a wave of unconstitutional raids that affected as many as 1.8 million people in late 1920s and 1930s (Mexican repatriation)<\/p>\n
