The melons in these two days are too big, and the masses need time to digest them. A love rat hat, Li Guoqing probably can't escape.
On the border between Syria and Turkey, thousands of people are packing their bags and looking for another place to stay. They are a group of abandoned people. Like all scum men in the world, those who abandoned them once honeyed words with them and made solemn vows. However, if you don't want it, don't.
Behind the chaos and abandonment is love rat's self-centered interests. If you use it together, you will discard it if you don't use it-there is nothing to say.
At this point, students should guess that the abandoned Kurds have no friends except the mountains, and love rat is the American emperor. Fortunately, Kurds have been tested in Jianghu and are not stupid (Li Guoqing has repeatedly stressed that they are stupid). They should have experience in dealing with the United States and various psychological preparations.
Today's article is for those who are really stupid and sweet, and tell them what the real love rat is.
What's interesting is that many people in the United States also condemn Washington's sudden withdrawal from the Turkish-Syrian border as a betrayal of the Kurds. The result is clear at a glance. After the withdrawal of American troops, Kurdish armed forces, once allies, were immediately exposed to Turkish artillery fire.
We must be clear that this is not a simple sense of justice, but a calculation by the American people to safeguard their own interests from different angles. Moreover, this is not the first time that the United States has abandoned Kurds. 1975, then US Secretary of State Kissinger was even more indifferent to Kurds.
1975 In March, Saddam Hussein and the King of Iran reached the Algiers Agreement, and the border dispute between Iran and Iraq was suspended. The United States, which supported the Iranian dynasty behind its back, immediately withdrew its support for Iraqi Kurds to overthrow Saddam Hussein's regime, which led to the brutal suppression of Kurds.
The Ku leaders sent an urgent letter for help, hoping that the United States would fulfill its "moral and political responsibilities", but "Dear Sir Kissinger" did not reply after reading the letter. He shrugged his shoulders and casually threw the famous saying to his assistant:
Promise them anything and give them everything they get, but if they can't afford a little joke, go to hell!
Promise them anything, give them what they get, and fuck them if they can't afford a joke.
The sentence "Fuck them" shows the ruthlessness of Machiavelli-style realistic diplomacy in the United States.
Criticism flooded in and the Senate Intelligence Committee was forced to hold a hearing. Kissinger wants to use more decent words to defend. After thinking for a long time, he said that public opinion should not use the aboveboard standard of missionary work to measure unseemly covert actions.
After all, I still insist on betrayal. Think about it, too. In the diaries of American foreign policy makers, including Kissinger, there are many allies killed by the United States. What is a Kurd?
There are too many studies on American diplomacy, so it is better to say "Fuck if you can't take a joke".
"icing on the cake" has been constantly hyped by the American media. Over the past few years, the grand marshal has always regarded Kissinger as his political mentor and asked for advice at every critical moment. No one knows exactly how much role Kissinger played in shaping the evolution of this government's foreign policy, but at least the Grand Marshal is like his "mentor" in using and abandoning Kurds.
At the hearing of the Congressional Intelligence Committee on 1975, Kissinger strongly defended that he could do anything in "covert operations", including abandoning and trapping allies in despair.
But he seems to forget that in 1972, it was only after he personally promised secret support that the Iraqi Kurds decided to start the uprising. In the past three years, Kurdish armed forces have sacrificed thousands of soldiers to help Iran and the United States contain Saddam Hussein. They hope to get American support for Kurdish autonomy and even independence, but in the end they only get indifference and abandonment.
Twenty-four years later, the American commander showed a very similar attitude towards the Syrian Kurds.
A year ago, at a critical juncture in the fight against IS, he praised the Kurds for fighting side by side with the United States and "dying for the United States". Now, he turned his head, spread out his hands and said, "Turkey's sending troops has nothing to do with me. Let the Kurds play with the sand. They are not angels. "
Kurds are not angels. This ancient Middle Eastern country has been pursuing independence since the collapse of the Ottoman Empire in the early 20th century. They are eager for the support of external powers, especially the United States, which likes to play the role of "peace messenger" in the Middle East. But the reality is that Kurds are repeatedly used by the United States and then abandoned.
This history can be traced back to at least before and after World War I.
19 18 At the end of World War I, US President Wilson launched the "14 Point Plan", which included supporting that "all ethnic groups in Turkey should be autonomous". It is inspired by this that the Kurds set off a wave of independent statehood. 1920 The Peace Conference signed the Seif Treaty, further proposing the establishment of an autonomous Kurdish state, which enabled the Kurds to realize their dream of having an independent national state in a short time.
However, due to Turkey's boycott, only three years later, Britain, France and other countries reached the Treaty of Lausanne, abolishing Kurdish autonomy. At this time, the United States, which initiated Kurdish autonomy, silently expressed its support for this decision in order to maintain relations with its greater allies.
This is the most insignificant betrayal of the Kurds by the United States, but it is also the most "fatal" one.
According to the Treaty of Lausanne, 6.5438+0.5 million square kilometers of land originally belonging to Kurdish settlements were handed over to Iran and 80,000 square kilometers to Iraq. As the fourth largest ethnic group in the Middle East, Kurds have fallen apart. 30 million Kurds are scattered in Iraq, Iran, Turkey, Syria and other countries, and they are all ethnic minorities in any country.
From the attitude of the United States towards Kurds, we always seem to vaguely hear Kissinger's words: If Kurds can't even afford this joke, then "fuck it".
Since the founding of the People's Republic of China more than 200 years ago, the allies abandoned by the United States are certainly not just Kurds. All along, the United States has been playing with many allies, using them and then abandoning them.
Who was the first ally in American history? France. At the beginning of 1778, Benjamin Franklin, one of the three founding fathers of the United States, strongly persuaded France to conclude the Treaty of Alliance between the United States and France. In the treaty, France promised to help the United States gain independence from Britain, and the two sides could not make peace with Britain alone without the consent of the other side.
Historians generally believe that the United States could not have won the war of independence so easily without the massive human, financial and material support provided by France, a powerful European country at that time. But 1783 What did the United States do after the victory of the War of Independence?
It immediately kicked France out without hesitation and reached a peace treaty with Britain that was extremely beneficial to the United States but obviously detrimental to France's interests. 1789 After the French Revolution broke out, the United States not only continued to ignore the validity of the treaty of alliance between the United States and France, but also supported the French people in overthrowing the regime of Louis XVI, who had strongly supported the American War of Independence.
Everyone knows what happened to Louis XVI. The domestic crisis was difficult to solve, and the United States hit a person when he was down, so that he was finally sent to the guillotine in the Revolution Square in Paris. This experience is in the same boat as the Kurds who were slaughtered after being abandoned by the United States.
When the United States was in its infancy, it could be so treacherous to France, a big European country that helped it out of the corner, let alone when it was strong enough to applaud its allies.
1898 When the Spanish-American War broke out in April, the United States claimed to support the Philippines as an "ally" to get rid of Spanish colonial rule. Egged on by the Americans, Aquinas, the exiled leader of the Philippine independence movement, returned to China on an American warship and announced the establishment of the Republic of the Philippines a few months later.
However, in June 5438+February of that year, the United States and Spain stopped fighting, and it was the turn of the United States to accept the Philippines "transferred" by Spain. The Philippine government and people struggled to resist, and the United States did not hesitate to send troops to raid Manila, killing the Philippines and turning it into an overseas territory of the United States.
There are more similar examples later, such as indirectly killing Wu Tingyan, the leader of South Vietnam, who was helped by himself in the Vietnam War, secretly supporting Al Qaeda during the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan, but then quickly eliminating it, and so on.
Generally speaking, since the founding of People's Republic of China (PRC), "America first" has been the guiding concept followed by Washington policymakers. Regardless of allies, we have to make way for American national interests and freedom of movement at critical moments. The United States has long been familiar with betraying and sacrificing allies.
