NOURNEWS- Former Secretary of State Matthew Ho resigned in September 2009 in protest of his government's policies in Afghanistan. Prior to joining the US State Department in Afghanistan, Hu was sent to Iraq twice in the Marine Corps uniform. Ho is currently a senior member of the Washington-based Center for International Policy. In an interview with Habilian (a news site, an analysis of terrorist studies), he made significant statements about Trump's militarism and its impact on the health of US citizens during the 2019 globalization of Crohn's disease.
Asked how successful Donald Trump had been in implementing the "Revival of America's Majesty" slogan during his four years in office, he acknowledged that Trump had once again raised the United States in an unhealthy and corrupt manner, but that was great for capitalism. It has been not for working-class Americans and for the environment or for communication with the rest of the world. Trump has done a lot to help the superpowers and the rich, either by taxing the rich and the powerful, or by allowing the superpowers to develop in areas that were previously protected by the environment, or by abusing their own labor and power. Ignoring health and safety regulations. Of course, this is a situation that the United States has experienced at various times in its history, namely the domination of industry and the rich over the country and the great hardships and sufferings it has brought to most people, especially minorities and natives. So, like, Trump has raised America again, but that's a huge benefit that only the rich and the superpowers can benefit from.
He also said that the Pentagon has a large share of the US annual budget, and that the share of international affairs in Trump's budget submitted to Congress for fiscal year 2021 has dropped by 22 percent. It is neoconservative (republican) and liberal (democratic) intervention that prioritizes militarism over diplomacy. In fact, prioritization is probably a weak word, because diplomacy has been lost in almost every aspect of US foreign policy over the centuries. Once again, this is true for both President George W. Bush and Barack Obama. Even in cases where the budget for civilian foreign policy has not been reduced or slightly increased, the simultaneous increase in the military budget has made it small. In addition, for a large part of this century, including almost the Obama administration, arms sales have been the most important issue for many US embassies, not real diplomacy. Therefore, even in US civilian foreign policy, which is implemented by the State Department, arms sales have been the most important issue (arms sales to foreign countries are the responsibility of the State Department).
"US sanctions are a form of terrorism," Matthew Ho said of US economic sanctions against Iran under the Corona. Terrorism is the use of violence against the people in order to bring about political change. In the case of sanctions against Iran, Venezuela, Cuba, etc., the United States, in order to achieve political goals, prevents people from accessing medical care and technology, and therefore deliberately causes death and physical and mental harm. The next point is that the United States does not impose such sanctions fairly, so its allies, including countries such as Colombia, Saudi Arabia, Egypt, Israel, etc., which are among the undisputed violators of human rights, are not targeted by US sanctions. Despite coronavirus disease, the effects of the sanctions have been exacerbated by the barbarism, immorality and illegality that underlie US foreign policy.
"I wish I could say that this learning will help us better understand our common humanity, so that differentiated structures and borders between countries can be eliminated," he said at the end of the interview. The real word is both metaphorical and a new concept of internationalism that includes reforming and strengthening the United Nations (including getting rid of the five permanent members of the Security Council) and increasing intellectual, cultural and scientific cooperation around the world.
But unfortunately, I think the opposite is true. You've already seen both Donald Trump and Joe Biden [most likely one of the next two presidents of the United States] launch an attack on China. I think the opposite of what I wrote above will happen, and we will continue to fear each other, we will continue to fight each other, and we will continue to hurt each other in the way of harming ourselves and our planet. Eventually, whether through war, climate change, or possibly another worldview, this division, fear, and greed will lead to the downfall of all of us.
