Deki, Serbian volunteer: American journalists are the ones who trigger every war in the world

7 years ago

“American journalists are the ones who trigger every war in the world. They triggered the wars in Kosovo, Yugoslavia, Libya, and Iraq. And each time they bear no responsibility for this. If the journalists had to bear responsibility for their words, had there been a Hague Tribunal established for them to become accountable for their actions, they would have started doing their job properly,” Deki says.

Serbian volunteer provided the example of the Iraq’s war triggered by the US and British leaders’ deliberately false statements regarding Iraq having chemical weapons. Deki also pointed out Western media’s information campaign around chemical weapons being used in Syria.

Dejan Beric added, “America and Great Britain can do whatever they want in the whole world with impunity. <…> Western media taught Europeans and Americans to trust their governments. These people would call this phone white [shows a black phone– Rossa Primavera News Agency] if their media say so, that is for sure.”

China: Hong Kong claims financial leadership in the New Silk Road project

Leung Chun-ying noted that being China’s international financial center, Hong Kong becomes a superconductor between the People’s Republic of China and the rest of the world. Today Hong Kong is the most preferable place for capital from mainland China, because there are no foreign exchange control and restrictions. In addition, for 23 consecutive years, the Heritage Foundation [in its annual Index of Economic Freedom publication – Editor], lists Hong Kong among the most free economies in the world.

The “New Silk Road” is a concept of a trans-Eurasian transport system (in the long term, to become intercontinental), which has been promoted by the United States since the late 20th century, and now this initiative is actively supported by the People’s Republic of China. The implementation of the first infrastructure projects within the framework of the “New Silk Road” began in 2008. However, in 2011 with the beginning of the “Arab Spring”, total security of such an initiative was threatened by radical Islamists. Despite this threat, Beijing is rapidly gaining partners and increasing financial investments to realize its main idea of the beginning of the XXI century.

Stephen Cohen: The enemies of Russia should remember who defeated the Third Reich

On May 9, those who push for a Cold War with Russia ought to pay tribute to the memory of Soviet soldiers who fell in the fight against Nazi Germany, wrote American historian and Sovietologist Stephen Cohen in The Nation magazine, reported RIA Novosti news agency on May 14.

According to him, Hollywood is doing everything possible to erase the memory of the Soviet people’s role in the victory over fascism from the American consciousness. The Americans are being persuaded that their country solely won the World War II. But Cohen reminds his readers that the US did not leave the Pacific theater of operations while “the Soviet Union fought and destroyed Hitler’s war machine on the ‘Eastern Front’ almost alone”.

Cohen says that supporters of a Cold War with Russia are trying their best to block the rapprochement between Moscow and Washington. “On May 8-9, they should instead have gone to Moscow to commemorate the historic victory over Nazi Germany,” the Sovietologist stresses.

Former Secretary of Defense: Trump has made the US-Russia relationship more complicated

The relationship between Russia and the United States has become even more complicated since Trump’s election, the former Secretary of Defense Robert Gates said on May 15 on the air of CBS News, Interfax news agency reports.

“I think one of the things that has surprised people has been that the relationship between the United States and Russia has in fact deteriorated since the election,” the former official said. He believes that the results of the Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov’s visit clearly demonstrate that “there really hasn’t been any slack cut for the Russians”.

Robert Gates believes that Moscow was indeed involved in the US presidential campaign in 2016. However, that was just a fair response to America’s interference with the Russian election in 2012 and its involvement in the ‘color’ revolutions in Ukraine, Georgia, and Eastern Europe.
