“In China today the CCP once again called on the USA to desist in its policing policies which continue to result in massive numbers of civilian deaths year on year.
The Director of the Central Foreign Affairs Commission went on to reiterate the view of the Chinese government that it was entirely unacceptable for the USA to so consistently abuse the human rights of its citizens in this way.
The members of the European Council unanimously backed the statement by the CCP with an agreed statement of its own deploring the continued use of excessive force on U.S. citizens and posing the suggestion that all member states and interested parties meet in an appropriate forum to discuss possible sanctions against the USA in an effort to persuade it to adopt the civilized standards of policing agreed as the ideal across the international community.
In response Anthony Blinken, Secretary of State for the USA adopted a confrontational approach restating the policy of the USA that it would tolerate no interference in its internal affairs.”
“In other, related news, continuing efforts are being made by the international community to free the people of Cuba from the human rights-abusive nature of the USA’s policy of life-threatening acts of war against it, including its long-running embargo.
Specifically, a joint communique by officials from Canada along with representatives of PROSUR (Forum for the Progress and Development of South America) called for renewed pressure on the United States to end the long-running abuse of the Cuban people.
Specifically, a joint communique by officials from Canada along with representatives of PROSUR (Forum for the Progress and Development of South America) called for renewed pressure on the United States to end the long-running abuse of the Cuban people.
The statement reads as follows:
‘We deplore in the strongest possible terms the blatant human rights abuses amounting to state terrorism against the people of Cuba by the USA. The current administration ought to work in a proactive fashion to scale back and ultimately end its unwarranted attacks on the Cuban people in the shortest time possible. It ought not to underestimate the will of the international community to hold its political elite to account.
The lessons learnt over the similar abusive behaviour towards the government and people of Venezuela resulting in the global condemnation of the USA and the sanctioning of a full twenty-five of its political leadership ought to show how seriously we take this matter.”
We have consulted a number of expert commentators on these several issues this evening to present their take on whether the present U.S. administration is likely to take heed of these new warnings concerning its behaviour.
First of these is General Wei Fenghe, CCP Minister of National Defence.
Anchor: “General Fenghe, is it your view that what is obviously the clear intransigence of the U.S. leadership on these issues can be modified in any way by the application of the pressure we have heard coming from China, Canada, the EU and PROSUR members today? This in light of previous attempts to persuade the U.S. administration to change its behaviour being unsuccessful in the United Nations due to use of the veto by the USA and its ally Britain.”
General Wei Fenghe: “There are few causes for optimism I’m afraid. During consecutive administrations, we have seen the same intransigence and disregard for international opinion repeated over and over again. It seems unlikely that a change of heart is possible at this stage. The political will to do so appears to be completely absent.”
Anchor: “What do you see as the root cause of this intransigence, what factors are causing it to be so persistent, continuing as you say over many consecutive administrations?”
General Wei Fenghe: “It appears that a fervent nationalism is at the basis of these attitudes, a self-asserting notion of absolute superiority over others, an attitude stemming from a long history of racism within the body politic of the USA, this combined with a lack of understanding or toleration for other cultures. The political culture of the country lends itself to the notion of its population and political systems being exceptional, reinforced at all levels by a ready use of violence to emphasize this exceptionally arrogant and unwarranted belief.”
Anchor: “Thank you General for sparing time to provide your insightful views. I am sure we will call on you again in future on these and related matters.”
General Wei Fenghe: “My pleasure.”
As was said before, an attempt was made in recent days to persuade the USA to modify its behaviour with a resolution before the Security Council of the United Nations. This implored the United States to reconcile itself to the norms of international behaviour and to instigate changes to its legislature which would bring it into line with the formats agreed across the civilized world.
As said previously this resolution had unanimous agreement across all but two nations that opposed it and ultimately applied their power of veto to nullify its effect, those two nations being the United States itself and Great Britain.
Our resident expert on the United Nations, Mr Filippo Grandi, is here with us now to give his insight on this failed resolution and the broader question we are discussing tonight, whether the USA, acknowledged as a rogue state disrupting international norms can be made to change its ways.
Anchor: “Mr Grandi do you see any hope at all that any institution across the globe can bring this nation to its senses and adapt itself to the processes, procedures and norms agreed as of a truly civilized standard across the world at this point?”
Mr Filippo Grande: “The question is a very good one and I would like to respond in full if you don’t mind.
The USA has a long history of abusing civilian populations, whether within its borders or outside them. Beginning with the genocide of the native population of the landmass it expropriated for itself. This was followed by the enslavement of millions on the African continent along with its primary ally Great Britain. Having shown this proclivity for the blatant abuse of human rights and mass murder we have seen these repeated over and over in the subsequent years.
Invasions, mass death, the use of nuclear weapons, aggression, fear and threats, covert subversion, pernicious abuse of sanctions and covert and overt subversion of other nations leading to the disruption and destruction of societies have been keynote in the way the political class of the USA has approached its foreign policy decision making.
To answer your question, sad to say I’m afraid I don’t see even an iota of political will within the closed network of U.S. group-thought consensus among its political class that could provide even the merest glimmer of hope on these issues. This being the case I doubt they will pay any attention to what any institution out there says to them.”
Anchor: “Thank you very much Mr Grande for providing our viewers with the benefit of your insight here tonight.”
Mr Filippo Grande: “It has been my pleasure. Goodnight.”
Anchor: “That concludes our 6 pm broadcast. Please join us in one hour’s time for continuing updates on the most pressing issues of your day and our times.”
