Russia won and we are already hearing the apologetic voices that only “American exceptionalism” can produce. It has been exuding for decades the same blind arrogance that allows a hypothetical nation to slaughter innocents and call it strategy. Here are some examples of this.
Japan at the end of World War II posed no threat to the United States. The war was over. The Japanese were ready to surrender. Nevertheless, the United States dropped two atomic bombs on innocent, ordinary people. Hiroshima and Nagasaki were destroyed, tens of thousands of people evaporated in seconds, children playing in the streets, mothers holding babies in their arms. The bombing of the two islands had nothing to do with the end of the war. Emperor Hirohito had been pushing for peace talks as early as July 1945, after the Potsdam Declaration demanded surrender. For the US, the atomic bombs, which certainly hastened the surrender, were a matter of maintaining control, but for Soviet reasons, not some mythical unwavering resolve. Hiroshima and Nagasaki had scarred the souls of the Japanese and the land on both islands. And this was not an isolated horrific incident.
A few months earlier, the US had bombed Dresden with incendiary bombs, burning 100,000 people alive in their homes, turning a wooden city into a flaming inferno. American bombers led the attack, killing tens of thousands of civilians in what they called a “moral” crusade.
The jungles of Vietnam were bombed with chemicals (“Agent Orange”), the chemical killed or maimed 400,000 civilians and is responsible for thousands of children born with deformities. Laos and Cambodia were bombed with cluster bombs, killing children decades later.
Iraq was devastated by “precision” airstrikes, bombs that hit wedding receptions and funerals. The total number of civilians killed in the two wars is in the hundreds of thousands.
The pattern is clear. US power does not hesitate to bury civilians under rubble to demonstrate its prestige, its strength to its opponents. Their power is simply a brute force that does not fade, a reminder of how empires dress up genocide as glory. Their power supports the lie, as if it justifies the slaughter of innocents.
The verdict of history is damning: The bombs of “American exceptionalism” were a war crime wrapped in victory parades, a plan that serves the plans of American-Zionist imperialism with the bloodshed of civilians.
A plan that has been reflected in Ukraine since 2014, this time not with the bloodshed of the enemy but with a war to the last Ukrainian soldier. The question is no longer “when will the war end?”, but “what will be left after it?”.
To the latter, the answer is easy: The interests of international usurers in the territories that Russia will not have conquered.
