Some news agencies and other major Western media feed on the information that is produced, even if it is stained with blood – or that is never produced, but rather is invented – about the war like confrontation in Ukraine.

The daily examples of fake news, more than anything, take credit away from the media that publish it, and the journalists who write it.

But they also feed the Western leaders who are waiting for them, in their eagerness to discredit Russia and justify the lengthening of a conflict that should already have ended, in peace and with mutual guarantees, without interference or political games to surround Moscow.

The international community must “really” oppose the greed of the United States military complex that sells weapons, no matter what use is made of them, both for its citizens to kill each other and to fuel wars across the seas, as is the case today in Ukraine or in other Middle Eastern nations.

There are too many actions by the US governments, since the very emergence of that country and during its establishment as an empire, causing millions of deaths, mutilations and injuries, destruction of States, torture, economic sanctions as an ultimatum to suffocate entire populations, among other actions.

Does the U.S. have the right to impunity?

The United States Army has established a long history of war crimes, beginning with the genocide of native peoples in the North America, through those committed in Afghanistan, Iraq, and Syria, more recently.

Usually, the U.S. government, the armed forces, and the press are able to cover up the atrocities committed. To cite a few examples from the war in Iraq, on November 19, 2005, U.S. troops entered the town of Haditha, killing individuals indiscriminately. Aws Fahmi, a witness to the massacre, saw Marines murder members of three families, and heard his neighbor beg in English for his life and those of his loved ones, including his daughters, 14, 10, five, three and one years of age.

Nine-year-old Eman Walid Abdul-Hameed recounted that the Marines broke into his home around 7:00 am, saying that they “entered the bedroom where my father was praying and shot him. They went into my grandmother’s bedroom and killed her without a thought. They threw a grenade under my grandfather’s bed.”

The attack lasted five hours and the Marines killed a total of 24 civilians.

On November 13, 2006, U.S. troops opened tank fire on the Al-Dhubat neighborhood of Ramadi and killed some 35 people, all civilians. Haji Jassim, 60, told Inter Press Service that residents “were not allowed to go near the houses to rescue the wounded, so many bled to death.”

In November of 2004, U.S. forces began Operation Phantom Fury against the city of Fallujah. Over ten days, they destroyed the city and killed thousands of people, using white phosphorus munitions prohibited by international treaties.

A video of the operation, recorded by NBC correspondent Kevin Sites, shows several wounded Iraqis in a mosque, guarded by Marines. The detainees had been interrogated and were left on the ground overnight. A Marine pointed to a wounded man lying on the floor and said: “He’s not dead, just pretending”. The soldier raises his rifle and shoots him in the head. Another Marine shouts: “Well, he’s dead now.” The execution of a prisoner, especially a wounded one, is a war crime according to the Geneva Conventions.
