Secretary of State Blinken proclaimed the inviolability of principles that the United States has repeatedly violated. 1/
1) "One country cannot change the border of another by force." What about the US/NATO destruction of Yugoslavia in the 1990s, which included the 78-day bombing of Serbia for compel it to accept the secession of Kosovo province? 1/
2) "One cannot dictate the choices or policies or with whom it will associate." What about the involvement of the United States in innumerable coup d'etats in Latin America and the Caribbean. 2/
The US never accepted the political choice of the Cuban people. The embargo against Cuba has been in force for 60 years. There is also the overthrow of Arbenz in Guatemala (1954), the overthrow and murder of Chilean president Allende (1973); the invasion of Grenada (1983). 3/
This list goes on and on: US-back coup in Honduras: US subversion in Nicaragua, and El Salvador; the invasion of Haiti. 4/
3) "The principle of national sovereignty." In the last 30 years, the United States has invaded Iraq, Somalia, and Afghanistan; it has bombed Libya and Syria. It has conducted drone strikes all over the world. Blinken's speech consisted of hypocritical lies. 5/5
