Russia’s Sputnik News reported examples of US war crimes post-WW II.
My own examples follow below. First Sputnik’s:
The July 1950 No Gun Ri massacre occurred one month after Truman’s war of aggression on nonbelligerent, nonthreatening North Korea.
Covered up for nearly half a century, what happened took the lives of around 300 men, women and children.
From December 1968 – May 1969, US forces indiscriminately massacred thousands of North Vietnamese civilians in so-called “free-fire zones” during Operation Speedy Express — to cause maximum numbers of casualties.
In February 1991 near end of Operation Desert Storm in Iraq, civilians and fleeing combatants were massacred along the so-called Highway of Death.
In May 1999 near Korisa, Kosovo, US terror-bombing massacred civilian refugees — ones who unsuccessfully sought shelter out of harm’s way.
In the second battle of Fallujah in November 2004 — during the Second Persian Gulf War — US and UK forces terror-bombed Iraqis with banned weapons, including white phosphorous, incendiary bombs, and radiological weapons.
Thousands were massacred in cold blood, largely civilians.
In October 2015, US forces terror-bombed a Kunduz, Afghanistan hospital on the phony pretext of targeting Taliban fighters.
Dozens were killed, dozens more injured.
During the siege of Mosul, Iraq in 2017, an estimated 40,000 Iraqi civilians were massacred on the phony pretext of combating US created and supported ISIS jihadists.
Similar mass slaughter occurred in the same year against Raqqa, Syria civilians.
US genocides began by mass-exterminating countless millions of Native America to expand the nation from sea-to-shinning sea — by stealing their land, livelihoods and lives.
In his book titled, “A Little Matter of Genocide: Holocaust and Denial in the Americas 1492 to the Present,” Ward Churchill explained that the nation’s indigenous population was reduced to at most 3% of its original numbers before it all began — by butchery and other forms of brutality.
During the infamous Middle Passage transatlantic slave trade — the African holocaust — millions perished en route in extreme discomfort.
Around 100 million human beings arriving in America were sold like cattle.
Describing the centuries-long horror, historian Howard Zinn said the following:
US slavery was “the most cruel form in history.”
It reflected a “frenzy for limitless profit that comes from capitalistic agriculture; the reduction of the slave to less than human status by the use of racial hatred, with that relentless clarity based on color, where white was master, black was slave.”
Post-WW II US genocides occurred against North Koreans, Southeast Asians, Central and Latin Americans, Africans, other Asians, Yugoslavs, Afghans, Yemenis, Iraqis, Libyans, Syrians and others.
With no end of it in prospect, unparalleled genocide has been ongoing by kill shots throughout the West and elsewhere since December 2020 — the human toll unknown because of coverup and denial.
If continues longterm, billions may perish out of sight and mind — unwanted people that US/Western dark forces want exterminated to more greatly empower and enrich the privileged few at their expense.
During America’s dirty 1898 – 1902 Spanish-American War against Spain to cede control of the Philippines, hundreds of thousands of Filipinos were brutally slaughtered.
US cutthroat killer general Jacob Smith ordered his troops to:
“Kill and burn.”
“This is no time to take prisoners.”
“The more you kill and burn, the better.”
“Kill all above the age of ten.”
Then “turn (the country into) a howling wilderness.”
Few people anywhere suffered longer, more horrifically with anguish than Haitians for over 500 years and still counting.
They endured genocidal oppression, slavery, despotism, colonization, reparations, embargoes, sanctions, deep poverty, starvation, untreated diseases, unrepayable debt, and natural calamities unprotected.
Along with strategic bombing to destroy an adversary’s economic and military might, US terror bombings targeted civilians to break their morale, cause panic, weaken an invented enemy’s will to fight, along with inflicting mass casualties and punishment.
Geneva and other international laws prohibit it.
The Laws of War: Laws and Customs of War on Land (1907 Hague IV Convention’s Article 25 states:
“The attack or bombardment, by whatever means, of towns, villages, dwellings, or building which are undefended is prohibited.”
Fourth Geneva protects civilians in time of war.
It prohibits violence of any kind against them and requires treatment for the sick and wounded.
The 1945 Nuremberg Principles forbid “crimes against peace, war crimes and crimes against humanity.”
These include “inhumane acts committed against any civilian population, before or during the war,” including indiscriminate killing and “wanton destruction of cities, towns, or villages, or devastation not justified by military necessity.”
In virtually all US wars of aggression against invented enemies, the above and similar war crimes occur with disturbing regularity.
During the firebombing of Dresden, Germany in February 1945 — when what Russia calls its Great Patriotic War was virtually won — the US and UK gratuitously incinerated around 100,000 city residents.
The morally indefensible high crime was repeated against Tokyo the same month in similar fashion after virtual surrender by imperial Japan was rejected by Franklin Roosevelt. surrendered and accepted defeat.
In August 1945, Harry Truman gratuitously destroyed Hiroshima and Nagasaki by nuclear immolation.
When WW II was virtually over, hundreds of thousands were killed.
To this day, future generations were scarred with birth defects and other serious health issues.
During the post-WW II period, countless millions more were massacred during US imperial wars — accountability for the highest of high crimes never forthcoming.
Genocidal wars were waged against nonbelligerent North Korea, North Vietnam, Cambodia, Laos, the former Yugoslavia, Afghanistan, Yemen, Iraq, Libya, Syria, and worldwide against unwanted people.
US use of chemical, biological, radiological and other banned weapons is well-documented throughout US history.
From smallpox infected blankets against Native Americans to chlorine gas during the US Civil War to today’s chemical, biological, radiological and other banned weapons, anything goes has been official US policy throughout its history.
Deadly dioxin-containing Agent Orange and nerve gas were used by US forces in Southeast Asia.
So were other terror weapons in all US wars of aggression.
It’s not a pretty picture.
The self-styled indispensable state’s history is pockmarked with virtually every type crime imaginable at home and worldwide.
They’ve gone on by endless wars of choice against Native Americans to the halls of Montezuma to the shores of Tripoli to the present day at home and abroad worldwide — with no end of them in prospect.
Mr Lendman..
A Masterpiece..
“Masterpiece Theater..!”
Need to read it five times.
EIN so ..just listened to 1/4 the
of Harley Schlanger..
He said instead of the UN
Investigating Bucha..
The Ukrainian Justice Dept will do it ..!
LOL..
Imagine that .
The Dirty DA..will do it ..?
This is what passes for Justice in Empire of the Stankus West!
Pure Tyranny.
Anglo Nazi Tyranny
No laws.
A Criminal Planet
Ruled by the Stank.
Frankly there has never been
Very Honestly One could Argue
Germany’s Case after WWI and the ream job of Versailles.
They had some very legitimate issues…not that I condone or justify any subsequent actions.
Historical motive,
Is the Correct term…
Having been unjustly
” Sanctioned ” by the other Imperialist Gangsters..!
I ask what is the purpose
or historical motive of the
New Nazi Terrorism
Replete with a New Swastika
Blue NATO/ OTAN..
“OTAN”..
“Oh The American Nazis!”
that’s formed right under
our eyes..
Reconstituted, actually.
No motive except
Rape, Pillage and Plunder.
No International Law exists
We’re back 10000 yrs to Savages..
” Lord of the Flies !”
Let me say something I find curious and rather enlightening
As to who these Puritans are who support Uki Nazis ..
These are the exact same
Imperialist Armies
Imperialist War Mongers that invaded Russia in 1918..!
Leopards Don’t Change their spots, Mr Lavrov.
Sadly..no matter how much
Yada Yada..
Or expenditure of Brain Cells
Attempting to fit a Square Peg
Into a Round Hole
Rubrics Cube..?
No Cheney’s Paradox..!
Just like Zeno’s
But Cheney’s will kill you.
Ever.
Unless they have a Very Specific Reason..
A Reason beyond Reason
All Encompassing,
And thorough,
And best of all, Evergreen.
Oh yes, this is truly a 100 yr War!
This war
Appropriately entitled,
“Russia Second War vs Nazism”
Started in 2014 with Nuland’s Nazi Snipers in Kiev..
It will end in 2024 with Russian Army Snipers in Lvov..!
—————–
Final Shot From
the Free Throw line..
I see where Harley Schlanger points out Bucha is a suburb of Kiev..
Scott Ritter also mentioned it.
Perhaps you did as well.
Every time I hear it
I’m reminded
Baba Yar is in Downtown Kiev
DOWNTOWN KIEV..
Two Blocks from the Maidan Sq
where these Very same Bandera Nazis shot 30,000 Jews and threw them into an open pit..!
MEIN GOTT UND LIEBER
I despise Jews who love Nazis
Most despicable thing in perhaps all of Jewish History.
A Rebuttal of History..
A Mockery of History
A Lesson Forgotten
and discarded for
Twenty Pieces of Silver ..
For a Golden Calf from the spoils of Sodom and Gomorrah
A Shame..
A Black Mark ..
An Ugly Scar on the Face of Judaism for 5,988 yrs..!
Should they make it.
This tragic floxsum
without a History….
Hence, without a Soul.
Harley Schlanger…
Love that fuxin guy

Third Reading.
Trying to digest..
Exactly who we are.
And it’s astonishing who we are.
Never been a Rogue State
A Pariah State
A Diabolical Killing Machine like it in all of History..Combined..!
A Spectre haunts the Globe..!
As you stated Previously,
Or maybe I did..
“No Man, Woman or Child
Anywhere on the Planet Earth
Is safe as long as Capitalists
have State Power in the USA..!”
State Sponsored Tyranny
Mass Murder .
Beyond all Recompense and impugnity..!
Shameless
Hideous Liars.
And Bio Weapons are only one 1000s of Closets w Skeletons!
Never could imagine this
riding my Huffy bicycle as a kid
This Surreal Nightmare
A Midsummer’s Night Drug Deal
I do remember arguing with
Zio Freaks
Young Republicans
Ding-A-Ling Democrats
The Grand Fathers and Mother’s of the Wokie Hate Russians
Zombie Nation
Teenage Wasteland
Who are we..
Do we even deserve to live?
To go on Destroying People and Places
Anything and Everything
Must be pillaged
Every corner of the Earth..
Nothing is Sacrosanct
Wall St and the Pentagon
think it’s there Private Idaho.
Sick Fuxing Planet, sir.
And here’s the hole card
Ace Kicker..
The American People can’t expect or Rely on
Russia or China to save us..
Duex ex Machina
We must do it ourselves
Dismantle our ticking
Time Bomb..
Our Murderous Criminal Elite.
They need to be disarmed and all their Satanic organs and tentacles dis assembled .
Or we’re dead.
We’ll die on this beach, soldier.
Oh..and just what is the Soldiers Song…
” A soldier’s job is to wait..
And he knows what he’s waiting for..!”
back in the 60s
If the Future is Defective
There are no Refunds…
” It Could Happen Here!”

Great commentary, Mr. Lendman. I entered this comment minutes ago at a reblog site:
Sigh. Cry in compassion for humanity. Cry/Scream in righteous rage and indignation against a ‘country” that would condone and act out such uncountable episodes of unadulterated terror and mass murder. Weep…Weep…It’s all right: Weep copious tears. And then weep again.
Thanks, Mr. Lendman. I read your blogposts every day and comment as I am able and moved.
“They endured genocidal oppression, slavery, despotism, colonization, reparations, embargoes, sanctions, deep poverty, starvation, untreated diseases, unrepayable debt, and natural calamities unprotected.” As I read this sad paragraph, I thought that I would have recommended the addition of “untold — unimaginable — indignities levied on simple, innocent human beings.”
Sigh. Shame.
