Beetje bvreemde kop beste bezoeker, immers illegale sancties zijn altijd sadistisch en barbaars zoals je zo zal lezen…..
Waar men
in de wereld poogt saamhorigheid te kweken om zo het Coronavirus te
kunnen bestrijden, blijft de VS landen als Iran, Venezuela en Cuba (plus
nog 27 andere landen) illegaal sanctioneren, zodat men daar grote
problemen heeft om het Coronavirus te bestrijden…… Zo overlijden er onnodig veel
mensen als gevolg van een tekort aan medicatie en medische apparatuur aan het Coronavirus, dan wel zullen overlijden aan wat men
COVID-19 is gaan noemen……
de VS is
zo onbeschoft dat het een luchtbrug heeft geopend met China en daar
grote hoeveelheden (grondstoffen voor ) medicijnen weghaalt en toch
handhaaft deze terreurentiteit de sancties tegen China…… ‘Leuk
ook dat dit in de reguliere westerse media wordt gemeld…..’ (niet
dus!)
De
fascistische psychopaat Trump durft openlijk te zeggen dat de
sancties niet opgaan voor zaken die de volksgezondheid in zo’n land
zullen schaden, terwijl ze dat wel degelijk doen! Sterker nog: er zijn in Venezuela al meer dan 40.000 mensen overleden door
VS sancties en ik vrees dat ook in Iran de cijfers niet veel lager
zullen zijn…. Let wel: ik spreek over doden die vóór de
Coronacrisis zijn gevallen, ofwel het aantal doden zal door deze
crisis nog veel verder stijgen…..
De G20 durfde te stellen dat het van het grootste belang is dat we onderling solidair moeten zijn en dat internationale samenwerking van het grootste belang is, terwijl de VS zelfs de sancties tegen de armste landen niet wil opheffen…….. Waar deze illegale sancties zoals gezegd in Venezuela al voor de Coronacrisis 40.000 slachtoffers het leven hebben gekost…… Illegale sancties opgelegd door de grootste terreurentiteit op onze kleine aarde: de VS!! Ofwel die 40.000 doden bohoren tot de zoveelste massamoord die de VS deze eeuw heeft gepleegd, waar de teller door illegaal VS optreden nu op ruim meer dan 2,5 miljoen dodelijke slachtoffers staat….. Waar Nederland middels militairen en ons belastinggeld ook een grafsteen of 100 (naar schatting) aan heeft bijgedragen…….. (en dat in landen waar het westen niets te zoeken heeft!!!)

Sick
and Sadistic: World Fights COVID-19 Amid U.S. Sanctions
By
Finian Cunningham
April 01, 2020
“Information
Clearing House”
–
Dozens of U.S. government-chartered flights have begun to airlift
vital medical equipment and supplies from China to the U.S. as the
latter becomes the world’s biggest case load of infections from the
novel coronavirus. There are grim forecasts for the number of deaths
in the U.S. as the pandemic is weeks from peaking there.
China is cooperating
with the U.S. in organizing the massive medical transfer, naturally
of course, given the humanitarian crisis. You would think therefore
that a little reciprocation would be in order from Washington. After
all, China is one of those foreign countries that the U.S. has
imposed sanctions on over alleged human rights violations. Would it
not behove the U.S. to show a bit of solidarity and gratitude by
dropping its sanctions regime against China?
And not just China.
There are are some 30 countries and territories that currently sit on
a U.S. sanctions
list, mostly due to Washington’s accusations of human rights
violations. Some of the targeted nations have been under sanctions
for decades, such as Cuba, North Korea and Iran. Others have joined
the dubious club more recently, such as Russia, Yemen and Venezuela.
Surely at this
unprecedented time of a global pandemic threatening millions of human
beings regardless of nationality, it is time to show genuine
solidarity and compassion for others. The very idea of imposing
sanctions on other countries is not only anachronistic. It is utterly
barbaric.
In any case, U.S.
sanctions imposed unilaterally without the mandate of the UN Security
Council are arguably illegal. Even before the coronavirus outbreak
and its accompanying disease, Covid-19, the American deployment of
embargoes to disrupt commerce and trade of other countries could be
seen as reprehensible. Such measures are rightly judged to be
collective punishment of civilians which violates international law
and the UN Charter.
But now as countries
battle against an existential threat posed by the virus, the existing
U.S. sanctions can be seen as an abomination.
Iran is a particularly
poignant case. It has one of the highest infection rates in the world
with thousands of deaths in a matter of weeks. Yet the Trump
administration sees fit to not only maintain harsh sanctions on
Tehran, it has actually added
three more rounds of sanctions against Iran since the epidemic
occurred. The deaths in Iran are being multiplied by American policy.
The Trump
administration cynically claims that U.S. sanctions do not impede
humanitarian aid to Iran. The claim is beneath contempt. The
crippling sanctions imposed by Trump’s “maximum pressure”
policy virtually precludes Iran from making international financial
transactions, including for medicines. Moreover, the effect of
“secondary sanctions” means that many countries are intimidated
from doing business with Iran out of fear of U.S. reprisals.
Washington has blood
on its hands where any country is finding the fight against Covid-19
in any way more difficult. It already had blood on its hands from its
illegal sanctions. But what we have now is the grotesque picture of a
ghoulish, sadistic American government shamelessly showing its ugly
face at a time of global suffering.
At the G20 summit last
week – held by teleconference to avoid spreading coronavirus
infection – Russian President Vladimir Putin called
on the world to drop sanctions at this critical juncture. He said it
was imperative for all nations to have access to medicines and
equipment without financial restrictions. “It is a question of
whether people live or die,” he added.
Putin’s call for
discarding sanctions was backed by UN secretary-general Antonio
Guterres and other world leaders, including Chinese President Xi
Jinping.
In the end, however,
the G20 final joint statement
omitted any unanimous mention of sanctions. One suspects that the
U.S. – the world’s number-one serial abuser of sanctions –
pulled strings behind the scenes to pre-empt any move to banish such
measures of financial coercion. Not surprisingly, because financial
coercion (less politely, “terrorism”) is an instrumental weapon
for U.S. foreign policy, as much as its military intimidation of
other nations is.
Instead, what came out
of the G20 conference was a joint statement of vapid, disingenuous
rhetoric.
It opined: “Global
action, solidarity and international cooperation are more than ever
necessary to address this pandemic. We are confident that, working
closely together, we will overcome this. We will protect human life, restore
global economic stability, and lay out solid foundations for strong,
sustainable, balanced and inclusive growth.”
Just how does “global
solidarity” and “working closer together to protect human life”
translate into practical remedial action when Washington continues to
wield a veto over some of the poorest and weakest nations gaining
life-saving supplies?
If there were any
compassion or morality in Washington, it would immediately rescind
all its sanctions against other nations in recognition of common
humanity. But the hard-heartedness of Washington is unrelenting even
at a time of crisis and death. It is based on a self-righteousness
that is frightening in the scale of its hubris and hypocrisy.
A certain natural
“correction” is due for this endemic criminal mentality of
America’s ruling class. And one senses that the correction for its
systematic evildoing against fellow human beings is not going to pass
lightly.
