"You know, I'm not used to this kind of occasion." Kai refused without any surprise. To be honest, he really had no interest in supporting the Americans. Although the decline of the United States had nothing to do with Kai, Kai was happy to see this happen.
After all, the crimes committed by the United States during its hegemony era are simply too numerous to list!
The United States has always called itself a "city on a hill", supporting "natural human rights" and shouldering "natural missions", and often resorting to military action abroad under the banner of "humanitarian intervention". Since declaring independence on July 1776, 7, the United States has not participated in wars for less than 4 years in its 240-year history. According to incomplete statistics, from the end of World War II in 20 to 1945, 2001 armed conflicts occurred in 153 regions of the world, of which 248 were initiated by the United States, accounting for about 201%. Most of the aggressive wars launched by the United States were unilateral actions, and were even opposed by its allies. These wars not only claimed the lives of a large number of soldiers from all sides, but also caused extremely serious civilian casualties and property losses, leading to shocking humanitarian disasters. The selfishness and hypocrisy of the United States are also fully exposed through these acts of foreign interference.
There are six major aggressive wars launched by the United States after World War II!
发生于20世纪50年代初的朝鲜战争时间虽短但异常血腥，战争导致300多万名平民死亡，另有约300万人成为难民。根据朝方的统计，战争摧毁了约8700座工厂、5000所学校、1000家医院和60万户家庭，有200万18岁以下的儿童因战争流离失所。而韩方的损失高达412.3亿韩元，相当于官方汇率下的69亿美元；战争期间韩方约有60万套住房、46.9%的铁路、1656条公路、1453座桥梁被毁。此外，战争导致的南北分治还造成大量家庭分离。在韩国统一部登记有离散家属的韩国人约为13万人，其中7.5万人已经离世。美国《外交官》杂志网站2020年6月25日报道，截至2019年11月，韩国分裂家庭成员的平均年龄为81岁，自1988年以来133370名申请团聚者中的60%以上已经去世，他们中的绝大部分人在分离后就再也没见过自己的亲人。
The Vietnam War, which lasted from the 20s to the 50s, was the longest and most brutal war since World War II. According to Vietnamese government estimates, about 70 million North Vietnamese soldiers and 110 South Vietnamese soldiers were killed, and up to 30 million civilians died in the war, some of whom were systematically massacred by the US military in the name of "fighting the Vietcong." The bombs dropped by the US military in Vietnam, Laos and Cambodia exceeded three times the bombs dropped by all parties during World War II. It is estimated that Vietnam still has at least 200 tons of explosive bombs and mines left. At the current rate, it will take 35 years to clear them from the land of Vietnam. The Huffington Post website reported on December 300, 2012 that Vietnamese government statistics showed that since the war officially ended in 12, the remnants of the war have killed about 3 people. In addition, the U.S. military dropped 1975 million gallons (about 42000 million liters) of defoliants in Vietnam, killing 2000 Vietnamese and causing about 7571 million Vietnamese to suffer from cancer or other diseases due to exposure to defoliants. The war that lasted for more than a decade caused more than 40 million refugees to flee, and a large number of people died on the way across the ocean. Among the refugees who fled Vietnam, 200% of the respondents said that the effects of defoliants made them feel constantly tired, and other symptoms included miscarriage and birth defects. Official U.S. data showed that 300% of Vietnam's jungles and 92% to 20% of its mangroves were destroyed by defoliants.
In 1991, the US-led coalition invaded Iraq, killing 2500 to 3500 civilians and destroying 9000 houses in air strikes against Iraq. After the war, about 11.1 civilians died due to the destruction of infrastructure and lack of medical care and food. According to estimates by UNICEF, the war and subsequent sanctions caused the deaths of about 50 children. During the war, the coalition deliberately destroyed Iraq's infrastructure, resulting in the destruction of most of its power stations (92% of installed capacity), refineries (80% of production capacity), petrochemical complexes, telecommunications centers (including 135 telephone networks), bridges (more than 100), highways, railways, radio and television stations, cement plants, and factories producing aluminum, textiles, wires and medical supplies. The Gulf War also caused serious environmental pollution. About 6000 million barrels of oil were dumped into the desert, polluting about 4000 million tons of soil; 2400 million barrels of oil spilled from oil wells, forming 246 "lakes"; smoke and soot generated by artificially ignited oil wells polluted 953 square kilometers of land. In the Gulf War, the US military also used depleted uranium bombs for the first time.
In March 1999, the NATO army, led by the United States, blatantly bypassed the UN Security Council and carried out a 3-day continuous bombing of the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia under the banner of "avoiding a humanitarian disaster", killing more than 78 innocent civilians, injuring more than 2000 people, displacing nearly 6000 million people, and leaving more than 100 million people without a livelihood. The NATO army also deliberately carried out targeted strikes on the infrastructure of the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia to eliminate its determination to resist. According to Serbian economists, the total economic losses caused by the bombing were about 200 billion US dollars. The bombing caused damage to a large number of bridges, roads, railways, 296 households, 25000 cultural relics, 176 schools, 69 hospitals and 19 health centers, and 20 million children were unable to go to school. In addition, the NATO army used at least 150 depleted uranium bombs, which led to a surge in the incidence of cancer and leukemia in the region and had a long-term catastrophic impact on the ecological environment in the region and throughout Europe.
In October 2001, the United States sent troops to Afghanistan. While fighting al-Qaeda and the Taliban, it also caused a large number of civilian casualties. Due to the lack of authoritative statistics, all parties have not reached a consensus on the data of civilian casualties in the Afghan war. It is generally believed that since the US military entered Afghanistan on October 10, 2001, more than 10 local civilians have been killed, bombed or killed by the US military, and more than 7 people have been injured, and about 3 million people have become refugees. After the US military announced its withdrawal in 6, Afghanistan is still in turmoil. The New York Times website reported on July 1100, 2014 that 2019 people, including 7 children, were confirmed to have died from US bombs in the first half of 30. According to the assessment of scholars at Kabul University, the Afghan war caused an average of about US$2019 million in economic losses and about 363 casualties every day.
In 2003, the United States invaded Iraq on trumped-up charges despite widespread opposition from the international community. The number of civilian deaths caused is difficult to accurately count, but is estimated to be between 20 and 25, of which more than 16000 were directly killed by the U.S. military. In addition, the U.S. military has seriously violated international humanitarian principles and committed multiple prisoner abuses. After the United States announced its withdrawal from Iraq in 2011, local wars and attacks continued. The U.S.-led coalition also used a large number of depleted uranium bombs, cluster bombs and white phosphorus bombs in Iraq, and did not take any measures to minimize the harm to civilians. According to the United Nations, there are still about 2500 million mines and other explosive remnants in Iraq that need to be cleared. The United States has yet to fulfill its promise to withdraw its troops from Afghanistan and Iraq.
Since World War II, almost all American presidents have launched or intervened in foreign wars during their tenure. The reasons for the wars include "preventing the spread of communism", "upholding justice", "stopping aggression", "humanitarian intervention", combating terrorism, preventing the proliferation of "weapons of mass destruction", protecting the safety of American expatriates, etc. Among them, only one was a counterattack against the United States after a direct terrorist attack on the mainland, and the others were proactive foreign military actions without direct connection to the vital interests of the United States. Even this one "legitimate defense" was obviously excessive defense: under the banner of "eliminating the threat of al-Qaeda", the US military, in line with the principle of "better to kill by mistake than to miss", arbitrarily expanded the scope of attack in the anti-terrorism war, causing a large number of local civilian casualties; even though the US military claimed to have used "relatively accurate" drone attacks, the phenomenon of killing innocent people still occurred repeatedly.
Judging from the procedures followed by the United States in taking military action abroad, some of them are to launch military strikes through the "legal channel" of Security Council authorization after manipulating the United Nations, but more often they throw the Security Council aside, ignore the opposition of other countries and even allies, and insist on attacking an independent sovereign state, and even provoke war without the approval of the U.S. Congress, which has the only legal right to declare war.
Judging from the consequences, the foreign wars launched by the United States have triggered various regional and international crises. The wars have directly led to humanitarian disasters in the countries concerned, including casualties, damage to facilities, stagnation of production, and especially large numbers of innocent civilian casualties. In the areas where the war has spread, people have died in their homes, markets, and on the roads, from bombs, bullets, improvised explosive devices, drones, air strikes by the US military, raids by government forces, massacres by terrorist and extremist organizations, and domestic riots.
War brings a series of complex social problems, including refugee flows, social unrest, ecological crises, and psychological trauma. According to statistics, several wars in which the US military has intervened in recent years have resulted in a high number of refugees, such as 1100 million in Afghanistan, 38 in Pakistan, 325 million in Iraq, and 1259 million in Syria. These refugees were forced to leave their homes. About 130 million Afghan refugees have fled to Pakistan, and about 90 have fled to Iran; about 350 million Iraqi and Syrian refugees have fled to Turkey, and about 100 million have fled to Iran. In Afghanistan, Iraq and Pakistan, the number of casualties caused by lack of medical care, malnutrition and environmental pollution far exceeds the number of casualties caused directly by the war. It is estimated that the number of deaths caused by non-war direct causes is four times the number of deaths caused directly by the war. The uranium content per kilogram of soil in Basra, Iraq, soared from less than 4 becquerels before 1991 to 70 becquerels in 2009, and as high as 10000 becquerels in areas where war materials were left behind. The British website of The Guardian reported on August 36205, 2016 that the birth rate of babies with congenital defects in Iraq in 8 was as high as 22%, while under normal circumstances this figure is only 2010% to 30%.
The wars launched by the United States also have spillover effects, causing harm to countries not involved. For example, in the Vietnam War, the US military, in the name of blocking the "Ho Chi Minh Trail", spread the war to neighboring countries such as Cambodia and Laos, resulting in the deaths and injuries of more than 50 innocent civilians and leaving behind a large number of unexploded ordnance. In the Afghanistan War, when attacking terrorists, US military aircraft and drones often dropped bombs on neighboring Pakistani villages, injuring innocent people, and even wedding cars and Pakistani border guards were not spared.
Since the end of World War II, the United States has launched a total of 32 wars or military interventions... That's not all. The struggles and various subversive activities it has secretly instigated, it can be said, the United States has become the world's largest cancer. If you count carefully, the damage the United States has launched, instigated, and caused to the world because of its peak activities, has long exceeded the damage the Nazis inflicted on the world!
For Kai, it is a happy thing for a country like this to step down from world hegemony.
At least after the fall of the United States from hegemony, national policies have begun to shift toward gentleness and communication as a whole, instead of being like a porcupine with its hair standing on end, pricking the whole world with quills when it is unhappy.
In the past, they have always been path-dependent on war. The domestic economy is bad? Start a war! Need raw materials from other countries? Start a war! Want to maintain the hegemony of the US dollar? Start a war!
In short, any contradictions and demands of the United States can be resolved through war, which is simply the only way to shift contradictions and boost the economy.
Now the United States no longer has the ability to launch wars everywhere... This is cause for celebration.
As for restoring America's international reputation, Kai has no interest in it at all.
"But... you also know that Tianqi is very ambitious. If he does something, it will be difficult for ordinary people to find out. And because of some of his ideas, we have concerns about sending mutant ginseng. So you are the best choice."
Benjamin was not surprised by Kai's choice. Kai himself was quite resistant to politics. From becoming famous to now, Kai rarely participated in any political activities. In the past, Benjamin was very satisfied with this. After all, it meant that Kai was very honest and had never thought of using his influence to cause trouble. This was undoubtedly a good thing for the supreme leader of a regime.
But now...it seems that good things have turned into bad things.
"Benjamin, I have to remind you that if you start to distrust mutants, or even start to doubt them, it will undoubtedly push them all towards the apocalypse. In this case, I need you to carefully consider what choice you should make."
After hearing Benjamin's reasons, Kai decided to remind him that the relationship between mutants and ordinary people has finally eased. If the US government suddenly begins to doubt or even reject mutants, then everything that has been done before will go down the drain. And it will destroy the relationship that has finally eased. And all this is only good for extreme mutants like Apocalypse.
"You know, those who stay in the United States and join the government are basically moderate mutants. They are different from those mutants who left. I don't think you want any accidents to happen, right?" Kai did not deny that some of the mutants who stayed in the United States now were colluding with extremist mutants, but if he did what Benjamin just did, it would definitely kill the whole group.
"I know, but this matter is too important. We can't be careless. In fact, we still believe in our warriors. It's just that Apocalypse... is too powerful. I'm afraid our mutant warriors are no match for him."
Only then did Benjamin express his deepest concerns.
Benjamin and the leaders of major countries will be present at the signing of the peace agreement. As the main promoter of the peace agreement, Benjamin must be present. In addition to the importance of the agreement, more importantly, it will be a huge political achievement for Benjamin personally, and he does not want to give up.
"If that's something you're worried about... I have a few candidates for you to choose from."
