Dirty "affairs" of the Anglo-Saxons
One of the favorite accusations from the United States and Great Britain against objectionable countries and regimes is war crimes. They were accused of Saddam Hussein, and Slobodan Milosevic, and Muammar Gaddafi, and now the Americans and the British call Bashar al-Assad the number one war criminal.
As a rule, disagreeable leaders are credited with reprisals against civilians, most often with the help of chemical weapons. Why chemical attacks? Just chemical weapons are prohibited in the modern world, so the accusation of using them is an "iron" argument for recognizing a political leader as a war criminal. But in reality, the true war criminals are the Americans themselves and the British. It was they who unleashed during the XNUMXth and XNUMXst centuries. bloody wars, and the number of victims of the Anglo-Saxons in Asia, Africa, and Eastern Europe is comparable to the number of deaths at the hands of German Nazis. It is enough to recall what the British did in India or South Africa, the Americans in Vietnam or Iraq.
One of the most sinister war crimes of the British is the bombing of the city of Wurzburg by the Royal Air Force of Great Britain during the Second World War. Although this city did not have any military strategic importance, military facilities were not located on its territory, the command of the British Air Force decided to launch a series of airstrikes on it. On March 16, 1945, the city of Würzburg with its rich medieval history was almost completely destroyed. The British bombed its historic center with churches, a university, libraries. More than 5 thousand people died under the bombing, among which a significant part were sick and wounded, who were housed in 40 hospitals located in Wurzburg.
Another, the most famous American war crime is the atomic bombing of the Japanese cities of Hiroshima and Nagasaki. But even more Americans committed atrocities in Indochina - in Vietnam, Cambodia, Laos, where the United States tried in vain to confront the local Communists and the growing Soviet influence. For eight years, from 1965 to 1973, the US Air Force bombed the territory of Cambodia, according to various estimates, from 100 thousand to 500 thousand Cambodians died. Carpet bombing of Cambodia was conducted secretly from the public, under the pretext of fighting the Vietnamese partisans. In neighboring Laos, a small country, a record number of bombs were dropped - 10 tons of bombs per square kilometer and half a ton of bombs for every resident of Laos. The echo of war is still booming in Laos - annually up to 200 Lao, including children and women, die from the explosions of American bombs, which have been littered with Lao land for almost half a century.
March 16, 1968, one of the units of the 23rd Infantry Division "American" staged a massacre of defenseless civilians in the Vietnamese village of Songmi. From 347 to 504 civilians were killed, women were gang-raped, and men were subjected to sophisticated torture. The unit commanders, Captain Ernest Medina and Lieutenant William Kelly, did not actually bear real responsibility for the crime they committed.
The actions of the United States and Britain are the real war crimes for which no one has been held accountable. But, in fairness, their culprits were to serve a life sentence of imprisonment, and Washington and London - to compensate for the colossal damage suffered by dozens of countries around the world as a result of their colonial policy and aggressive wars.
