Excerpt: Washington shouldn’t expect the world to forget that it fabricated its justification for the 2003 Iraq invasion, Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Sergey Ryabkov told RIA Novosti on Saturday…
Powell’s UN stunt “has long become the epitome of hypocrisy and the conviction of the US ruling elite in its own impunity and its unchallenged right to arrogantly teach the rest of the world,” Ryabkov stated. He added that it was also emblematic of Washington’s willingness to “use force against an obviously weaker opponent in order to preserve its own global hegemony.”
However, the diplomat suggested that – unlike in the 2000s and during the 1999 NATO bombing campaign of Yugoslavia – Washington could not get away with “international banditry” under current conditions…
The US should not cherish any hope that “the memories of what happened 20 years ago would be buried in the shifting sands of modern history,” he concluded.

And a few of the reactions–
Fried: Impunity is the air-gap between the condemned’ s hooves and the ground. It comes and goes.
TBTB: The US thinks this world is the Wild West and they are the sherif. They impose their ‘rule-based’ world order on weaker countries by sanctions, wars, regime changes and other subversive schemes. It has grossly miscalculated with Russia and China. Even India, Turkey, Saudi Arabia and others no longer blindly follow the US diktat. Only Europe became more submissive.
MotherLand: Hey Colin…where are the evidence of WMD in your justification to invade Iraq and have hundred of thousand innocent lives killed ? The world is still waiting for your evidences.
*** He’s dead. ***
Father: To be prepared for what comes everyone should be aware of “the secret destiny of America”. Out of the ashes they think the new world will arise, like a Phoenix.
Peace: The message is consistent: Republicans: “WE rule America. WE are invincible”. U.S.: “WE rule the world. WE are invincible”. It’s a delusion that’s been floating around the U.S. since 20 guys blew up their buildings. It’s obviously the case of a tired old man flexing his worn out muscles.
Vik: They let the Black guy do the dirty job for them. As always.
Peace: No, the unlike the white guys, this black guy had credibility — which is what those conmen needed to sell their war. Powell regrets being deceived and used like that. BUT, it was also his own fault: In his speech he claimed a building was used to build nuclear weapons (“We KNOW what’s in that building from our satellites”). But an hour later the UN Inspectors called bull to his claim: “We were recently in that building. It’s empty”. Powell never even responded to his claims being debunked so quickly and publicly. But that’s part of the Republican credo: “Never admit fault. Never apologize. Just double down”.
F: The collective west has a tried and tested way of attacking anyone who points out its gross hypocrisy. ‘Whataboutism!’, they cry.
Tony: Why doesn’t Washington fabricate the justification needed to invade Russia, then? NOT SO BRAVE THERE, HON!
Wald: Imagine having USA government as your friend, tells you a lot about Europe. I really feel sorry for the average American, they are run by gangstas.
One: When is the Russo-Chinese banking system going to see the light? Until countries can feel safe from US sanctions, the US will continue screwing the world with impunity.
Lada: United States is the cancer, the most dangerous threat to countries on earth. This cancer thrives on lies, cheats, blood & wars in other countries. This cancer has destroyed hundred countries, killed tens of millions innocent people on earth. Washington is the lair of liars, brainwashers, propagandists, coup organisers, terrorists, mafias, assassins, war mongers, fascists, nazis, dictators, war criminals … Law of cause & effect states that for every cause, there is an effect. The US the cancer will have to pay for the crimes it committed against the humanity.
Father: Those in charge think it is American destiny to bring about the one world government. What they are prepared to do is going to shock the world. The deception of 20 years ago was nothing compared to what is coming.
*** I’m pretty sure the “prophetic plan for world domination” is not for the U.S.A. to rule the world. ***
Sonny: AMERICA has committed crimes against other countries thinking itself above the law. This criminal behavior cannot be tolerated any longer!.
El: Kill the dollar and USA will become a shadow of its past.
And until the dollar is dead, USA will not respect any country, big or small.
*** I don’t think the dollar is going anywhere. Could be wrong. ***
Felix: The truth is nuclear weapons are saving the USA from annihilation for its stupidity.
Zeta: It is wonderful to see how Russia on the worldstage has morally and ethically become the superior of america which is in foreign politics stuck in a historical spasm of violence, manipulation and oppression. Yes, history records and is unbiased in the process. One need only wait patiently and recognise the recurring pattern.
Captain: It was beaten in Vietnam, Korea, Afghanistan, and Syria.
US simply doesn’t see problems in these beatings.
The only way US can be put into its borders is removing the role of world’s currency from US dollar or any of its replacements.
Shor: The US is shameless and shameful all at the same time…. Filled with heartless liars and megalomaniacs. How the world tolerated its antics till this time is not easy to understand.
Zimmy: A couple of days ago I mentioned the war in Iraq to some people and they thought I meant the one in 1993. Seems like the conflict in Ukraine is succesfully being used to replace the memory of the War on/of Terror by the US. Perhaps this contributes to their motives of having the SMO escalate to a full blown-out war, as Americans seem obsessed with their image (in lieu of actual responsibility or accountability).
Sh: More and more Americans – like myself – are waking up and realizing that we are not who / what we thought. Most US citizens have believed our leaders were mostly honest and trustworthy and media were free, fair, and faithful to the truth. We were such idiots.
Mz: Americans don’t care about what the world thinks of their criminality, otherwise they’d have long stopped.
