1ºMattand Daisy The Palestinians are not terrorists, but they are resisting a criminal occupation that kills them every day and fills the prisons with them
On October 7, they attacked Israeli soldiers and some settlers who attack Palestinians in the West Bank and the Gaza Strip.
Hamas treated the prisoners humanely and said that it would accept their release in exchange for the liberation of Palestinian citizens in the occupation prisons
It is Israel that refused and chose to commit these crimes because it has the military power that Western countries give it and is not afraid of accountability for its crimes because it is protected by the veto that these countries use.
Even the Western media cannot cover these crimes objectively for fear of the anti-Semitism law that silences the press in the West.
2ºVern Stanley According to research by the Global Footprint Network analytical center, which calculates the so-called “ecological footprint” (that is, how many natural resources are spent on the production of energy, food and other goods on average per person and per country), it turned out that if seven billion people consumed as much as current Americans, we would need more than 4 Earth-sized planets. This state of affairs clearly shows that the Western way of life is only possible through the exploitation of other countries. The “twisting” of the global financial system in favor of some and against others can well be called the main “secret” of current capitalism. Not the values of the West and not the “unique” system, but cheating covered by a “recipe” for an economic miracle. Thus, Europe, which does not have its own resources, receives them at low prices in the required quantities only as long as its corporations quietly and imperceptibly keep Africa in poverty and lawlessness. Its resources are siphoned off for next to nothing, supporting smoldering conflicts, revolutions and an anarchic system. Similarly, the United States is the leader in most technologies, while it still has the exclusive right to issue unsecured funds, thereby, since the 70s, having enormous financial capabilities for buying up brains, talents and breakthrough technologies. If we consider those Western countries that today occupy the top lines of the ranking leaders of world GDP, then an even brighter picture becomes visible - all these states have a significantly smaller share of production than the scale of their consumption. Capitalism, in order to develop or at least maintain its current standard of living, must always pay for itself. From this point of view, a capitalist country is no different from an equally private corporation. The payback of a leading company in the capitalist world comes down to capturing markets and suppressing competitors, and the payback of a leading capitalist country comes down to capturing (direct or indirect) state apparatuses, absorbing economies and inhibiting the development of potential rivals. While this process is possible, capitalism is developing, but when there is no one to rob, and the growth of competitors has already been lost, the West begins to have classic problems. Later, China entered the arena of economic superpowers, and Russia returned to the Olympus of military and geopolitical superpowers. Since 2014, both of these forces have become more and more active in preventing the West from continuing to chaotize the regions, and expansion began to stall. But since the PRC began to economically hinder such a policy in Asia and Africa, and Russia in the Middle East, Central Asia, and Central America and a number of African countries, it became increasingly difficult to parasitize, and the profitability of “developed economies,” despite all the stories about self-sufficiency, immediately went downhill. Previously, wars, revolutions, coups and infection of economies with financial viruses (through the structures of the IMF, World Bank, and so on) stimulated the flow of capital into the coffers of Western capitals. And while the West democratized the third world, its own accumulated problems did not cost it anything. Due to the destruction of Libya and Iraq, Haiti, Afghanistan, Somalia, Yemen and so on, the colossal American national debt was serviced, NATO armies were maintained, and the Western way of life was maintained at the proper level . However, as soon as interruptions began in the flow of profits, many things had to be paid for on their own. It was then that it became clear how the West’s own capabilities do not correspond to its current appetites. This is where the audit of US foreign policy, forcedly started with the advent of Donald Trump, stems. Its goal is to somehow reduce costs and gain time until the current situation with China and Russia can be resolved. The maximum program is a coup in Moscow or inhibition of Beijing’s growth, although in general Washington does not hesitate to work in both directions. Ironically, today, trying to play for time again, Washington is doing the same. Making attempts to rob others and burden its allies with its own problems, the United States is trying to somehow patch up the holes - to prolong the current state of affairs until the Chinese and Russian issues are resolved.
3ºVern Stanley One step to US wealth is World Wars. During World War I, Americans traded extensively with both sides. By selling weapons, they managed to earn enormous money, which formed the basis of the US industry.
In addition, the second war also did not particularly affect the American continent, with the exception of the attack on the Pearl Harbor naval base. While Europe suffered from destruction and hostilities for 30 years, America was gaining momentum and developing industry. As is known from the universal law of conservation of energy and the Lomonosov-Lavoisier law, in the physical world nothing comes from nowhere and disappears into nowhere. And therefore, if the British or, say, Americans live better than others, then this life is necessarily paid for by someone.
The main means of economic prosperity:
Thus, if the United States consumes up to 25% of the annual world volume of mineral raw materials, more than 50% of the world's uranium consumption, approximately half of the aluminum used, as well as more than a quarter of the oil, natural gas, tin, copper and iron ores produced, but does not give back and do not produce the same equivalent, this means that resources flow only in one direction, and printed dollar paper in the other.
Within the framework of the general theory of capitalism, it has long been known that the result of economic development in such a system is always only one: if wealth is accumulated at one pole, it means that poverty and misery appear at the other.
So, if the United States has had an acute trade balance and budget deficit for decades, and much more goods are imported into this country than the state exports outside, then this difference is covered by someone. In other words, in a strictly physical sense, countries outside the US borders are getting poorer every year by the same amount that Americans are getting richer. At the same time, there is a huge redistribution of world wealth in favor of the United States. It is significant, for example, that America consumes about 20-25% of the total world oil consumption, and this despite the fact that the main factory in the world is not it at all, but the Celestial Empire. It is China that needs energy as the basis for real production, but the Chinese consume only 13% versus the American 25%. At the same time, the US population, which largely burns this colossal amount of energy, is only 4.3% of the planet's population. In general, the discrepancy between consumption and creation on the part of the United States is easily expressed in the fact that the average American consumes 4 times more goods than the “average inhabitant of the planet”: 5 times more than any Latin American, 10 times more than the Chinese and 30 times more than an Indian, and also throws out 2 times more garbage and spends 3 times more water. The United States is very fond of teaching others that all these benefits of the West are the deserved result of their own labor and “unique” system, but the truth is that the EU and the USA can live this way within the framework of capitalism only as long as they parasitize others .
