13 Jan 2025 – Throughout history, U.S. Administrations, led by their presidents, on the pretext of one fictitious reason or another, go to wars with a weaker country around the world. The real reasons being their insatiable greed and appetite for other countries’ lands and resources. They don’t have permanent friends; they have permanent interests only.
It used to be Britain before World War-II as an imperial power, but after World War-II, the USA has replaced Britain as a criminal hegemon creating crisis and chaos around the globe.
Always, to justify for going to wars with other countries, they create a ‘boogey man.’ It was Hitler of Germany, Emperor Hirohito of Japan, China’s Mao, Russia’s Stalin, Vietnam’s Ho Chi Minh, Osama Bin Laden, Afghanistan’s Taliban, Iraq’s Saddam Hussein, Libya’s Ghaddafi…and now, Russia’s Putin…the list goes on and on. For going to wars, invading and overthrowing another government that they don’t like, they need these boogeymen to brainwash and prepare gullible North American public for these wars. What a tragedy for the world! the USA has become an agent of chaos since World War-II. It has become the biggest killing machine the world has ever seen.
US presidents invade, overthrow, assassinate other countries’ leaders or sabotage other countries’ democracy because there is no accountability. These leaders commit crimes against humanity with impunity. They know that they would pay no price for committing crimes against other countries and their people because they are aware that after they leave office, they would pay no price for their crimes. They simply write books and go on lecture circuits racking in millions of dollars. They would spend rest of their lives playing golf and enjoying huge presidential retirement pay. This is how the USA works.
Every US president with rare exceptions, is morally compromised, and has no value for human lives of people of other nations. He feels that other nations must do what the USA dictates them to do. He believes in the US exceptionalism, a stupid belief. There is nothing exceptional about the USA except it is a war mongering hegemon.
North Americans go along with whatever their presidents do, nationally and internationally. As a matter of fact, average North American has no idea what their ‘elected leaders’ from presidents to Senators and congressmen do in Washington DC. They are like children of the mafias who do not know what their fathers do!
Every U.S. President: If one looks at their record, almost every USA president since World War II and even earlier, with exception of JFK and Jimmy Carter, has killed thousands to hundreds of thousands innocent civilians in other countries. George Bush Jr. takes the cake. He is responsible for the killing of some 1.5 million Iraqi civilians while thousands of them suffer from cancer and other illnesses due to the radioactive shells used by the USA in Iraq war while George Bush Jr. is playing golf in Texas! Nobody talks about this; it is all forgotten and there is business as usual. No consequences for their crimes while in office. This is the USA way.
With exception of JFK, FDR and Carter, no US president cares much about the US middle class and the poor class. He thinks that they are silent sheep made to serve the rich and super rich North Americans; and he is right, that is what is the case in the USA under its current capitalistic system. Every president spends billions of dollars in unnecessary Pentagon’s military budget while close to 38 million North Americans are below poverty line and suffering economic hardship. But no president cares. After two years in office, he worries about and prepares for his re-election. The is true for US Senators and Congressmen.
U.S. Elections: It is a farce. It is a charade. North Americans have the choice between bad and the worst candidate. The third-party candidates are marginalized by the powerful media. It is dominated and totally controlled by the rich and the super-rich. US people have little influence. They are like herds of sheep following media-controlled narratives and the super-rich own and control the media. Billions of dollars are spent on these elections. The rich and the super-rich donate hundreds of millions of dollars to both the candidates. Usually, whichever candidate gets more money, wins the race. The rich and super-rich enjoy the fruits of their donations with special favors in their business after their candidate wins the race. There is corruption at the highest level.
Even the candidate who gets more popular votes loses the race! What kind of nonsense is it? It is due to the USA’s undemocratic, faulty, and outdated constitution and its ‘electoral college’. But it goes on and on unchanged. Forget the people of the world, even North American people are duped into believing that they have a democracy.
Besides Jackson in 1824, only three other candidates receiving the largest popular vote failed to gain a majority in the electoral college—Samuel J. Tilden (D) in 1876, Grover Cleveland (D) in 1888, and Al Gore (D) in 2000.
The “minority” presidents are listed below.
All of the above candidates became presidents even though a majority of North Americans didn’t vote for them. This is how screwed up so called US democracy is.
Once elected, the US presidents act like dictators. They invade any country, topple any government, sabotage any democracy, assassinate any other country’s leader, declare wars with any other country…with impunity. Even though these criminal acts backfire like they did in Vietnam, Iraq (twice), Afghanistan and Libya, and the current proxy war in Ukraine, these presidents face no adverse consequences. They get away with these heinous acts where millions of innocent people of other countries and thousands of USA’s youth die and many more get injured and the victim countries get devastated and face chaos for decades. That is what they have done in the Middle East and in Latin Americas.
Immigrants from US-Mexico border: Why do you think hundreds of thousands of Latin Americans from Guatemala, Honduras, Ecuador, Panama and Mexico etc. are desperate to come to the USA leaving their beloved homeland? Because their countries were exploited economically and otherwise, directly by the USA or indirectly by its puppet dictators. Their democracies were either destroyed as in Guatemala or their dictators were supported by the US as in many countries like Argentina, Brazil, Bolivia, Nicaragua, Chile etc. for decades.
That is the reason most of these countries’ economies and democracies were destroyed by the United States and their people, desperate to make a living, flock to the United States. Otherwise, why would any sensible person leave his home and his mother country?
This is the side of the U.S. that the world is not fully aware of. The world will be better off if the people around the globe know the “Real USA.”
