bars, russia and china and india need to have a very clear idea and nobody clear sense of trust among themselves needs to develop . now i think that trust does exist and has a long tradition made a quote for you if american citizens want a war with china, congress will grant or they leave. now that's the message from the chairman of the house of foreign affairs committee. michael mccool, when asked about how far washington will go to defend taiwan. speaker mccarthy, and yourself have said that multiple times now that we need to arm taiwan now before there is any sort of invasion. what about u. s. troops? i think, you know, then you're talking about an authorized use of military force. it will come out of my committee or a declaration of war which we haven't you license war 2, which is support that i think you're sure if the of china. com is china invades

tara, is certainly if the media commentator, victor gao quest guide it in calling for the states regarding taiwan separatism. because i would say that it is absolutely against fundamental interest of the american people, for anyone to old us soldiers to die and shared blood for what, for i one separate isn't and tie one of the independence which has nothing to do with united states. and the u. s. position regarding ty, wind right now, as it stands, is a position of illegitimacy illegality, illogic cavity and an sustainability right, this change again. now a review all the chaotic us withdrawal from afghanistan in 2021 has been published by the white house. national security council spoke 1st and john kirby appeared

before the media praising the current administration's actions while placing the blame on previous leadership for the issues witness in the wake of the departure. hundreds of people were killed, included a number including a number of us service on american troops also left the i'm more than $7000000000.00 worth of military gear. miss kirby though remains proud of the pull out. i remember going through all that ah, that's pretty remarkable. ah. that airport was basically for all intents and purposes, american property. oh,

so i'm sorry. i just don't buy the whole argument of chaos with all this talk a chaos. i just didn't see a lot that went right so yeah, there's a lot to be proud of. peter, the us invasion of iraq, which left a trail of destruction including up to a 1000000 civilians killed and countless more despite has passed its 20th anniversary. will continue our special coverage of the military action that through the oil rich country into chaos. and d stabilize the region the years to come. with

the grim anniversary, the u. s. space out analytics center gallup has released a poll, which found that a majority of muslim nations do not see the u. s. as a democracy building power in iraq to give one example, 72 percent of respondents do not believe quote, the u. s. is serious about encouraging the establishment of democratic systems in muslim countries. almost a 20 years ago, a large statue of iraqi leader saddam hussein was toppled in baghdad. the monument seen as a symbol of his rule in the country was brought down by a rockies who the hell with the help of us marines. he event received wide coverage in western media, which headlined the day as an end to the scene era. but us forces were not done in the country. 2 years after the invasion of iraq began,

american troops, gun down 24 civilians, women and children were among them in the town of had the, for one of the 8 marines involved, pleaded guilty to negligence. all other charges, including involuntary manslaughter and aggravated assault, were dismissed. r t correspondence to sweeney travel to the country to hear firsthand about the cane this incident and the legacy u. s. military adventures them left behind. i isa was a town the very few people outside of iraq knew before, 2003, but it soon became known throughout the world. off to you, as marines went on, the rampage, massacring 24 people like fallujah. this was also a revenge attack. it followed the killing of a us soldier and a roadside bomb here. but the victims were women,

the elderly and children as young as one who was shot multiple times at close range . clara, they killed my brother, my uncle, to heed my uncle rashid, my father, my mother and my grandmother. the only survivors will my brother abdel, my sister sia and me. yes. again. the military tried to cover up the truth, but was soon for so amid that marines might have deliberately targeted civilians aware that the completely sealed off the entire city for a month. not allowing any one to enter and arresting any one who spoke about the incident. so the issue did not appear in television for a long time, but the ones who actually provoked the situation where the americans themselves, the pain is still felt by many haven't had ether, including mister colored, who lost 15 members of his family. in the massacre. stubby had sealed on january 19th, 2005, a land mine exploded at a place where the u. s. military was located, we were used to the fact that after some kind of explosion,

there would be screams for about half an hour. but then everything would be silent afterwards. that time it was different. the screams continued, and the sounds of shots fired by the american military continued terrifying the residents of the city. it turned out that an american humvee was blown up. they broke into the house of abdul her son and killed 7 of its residents. they also broke into the house of my cousin and kill the aid of the people who were living there. they also stopped a taxi that was carrying students heading to baghdad to study the executed them in cold blood. after that, they broke into the house of i is al gray, airy and killed 4 people. it was a terrible day. it terrified the entire city. the american military, the militants and al qaeda, one might say, we're playing a game of cat and mouse. and ordinary citizens were the only ones who really suffered from this. every day we heard shooting in the city,

the result of which was always the cold blooded murder of civilians. hundreds of innocent people died and such incidents. he described drug cries, soldiers, who lost control as they went on a 3 hour killing spree. ah, elephant a 20 years after the americans invaded my country. iraqis still remember this with great pain and suffering because of the disasters the americans left behind. yes, my country suffered from economic weakness due to the devastating war with iran, but life was safe in the cities and in the country as a whole. however, with the arrival of the americans, that security ended before the american invasion. there was a kind of social equality between different levels of society. but after the american invasion, a corrupt class emerged rising above society. previously, iraqis were kind sociable, they showed brotherly feelings towards each other and generosity. but after the americans came, drugs began to spread. families began to disintegrate. social degradation began

increasingly we began to hear about things alien to our society that a son killed his father or his family, and all of this because of drugs. it didn't come out of nowhere suited by the americans are gone, but traces of the u. s. still remain in my country. they manifest themselves in the economic and social spheres and their ugliest forms. the people of her, these are, have been denied justice house of the 8 indicted 6 or the charges dropped altogether. while one was found not guilty. the only soldier to face caught merely loss rank and had a salary reduced, leaving the victims loved ones angry. i remember they may have been women and there may have been children and there is a squad leader. your responsibility at that point is to say, cease fire. let's not take another step. we just killed some women and children here. my responsibilities a squad leader is to make sure that none of the rest of my guys died. so no,

i don't believe so. and i took it and i believe that the u. s. president at the time, george bush and the other leaders who supported him during the occupation of my country, as well as their armies. bear collective responsibility for every drop of innocent blood shed in my country. any rock international courts must work hard to bring those criminals to justice. judicial decisions must be made to improve the transparency of fake western democracy. once again, washington has committed war crimes with impunity. and 20 years later, it is ordinary iraqis that has still paying the price the rockies of it is not the only victims all the us presence in iraq. i'm al jazeera, close one. it was killed as a result of the u. s. s. like on the child media bureau in baghdad, 20 years ago to the fate, no one has been held accountable for the just death,

only at a bow. during his stay in bagdad, he was there for 4 or 5 days. he made 3 reports, and for me each report was a reassurance of him being safe and sound ah, with awe and dizzy kenneth off al jazeera, did send the coordinates of its baghdad bureau to the american troops,

to ensure the safety of the journalists while fulfilling their work and to assert that they are not part of the war. there is a sense that the office was deliberately targeted because they already knew the coordinate system of and jo will an a levy before the fall of baghdad. on april 9th, the general atmosphere was tense. everything had been prepared to promote the only narrative that of the american army, jill. they didn't want any other narrative to go. public. journalists in the iraqi capital were not biased. they were witnesses of the truth. what the u. s didn't want those witnesses to tell their stories about what was happening and what would happen later on. and the ha ah, according to commanders on the ground coalition forces came under significant enemy fire from the building where they al jazeera journalists were working and consistent with the insurance right of self defense coalition forces returned fire

sadly, and al jazeera correspondence was killed in this exchange, as a supplemental inter dismissal wasn't fired accidentally unless it was intended to kill, to wreak, and his colleagues in his unfair war on iraq is like many others. this case remains unpunished. he had the hidden and then, ah, on people so hot and there were commons coming from the american presidents describing the civilian casualties as collateral damage, something inevitable, given their false message of liberating iraq from terrorism. and our case, the journalists who had nothing to do with this war, paid the price to al jazeera, as coverage of the iraq war, had been widely recognized by international organizations for its transparency, professionalism, and high standards. the employees who were arabs and muslims,

did it here to professional standards. you're never going to change the truth when you see shattered civilian houses and killed children with the any. and the military always talks about ethics. but what is happening on the ground is exactly the opposite. and neither the pentagon nor any other u. s. government agency apologized for what they had done because they knew it would have eventually been forgotten. we have lost many of our colleagues because of this concealment of facts, this. impunity alleged it all. crimes iraq blither usaa and she has also been a major.
