It is necessary to know well both the friend and the enemy.

The United States, which is one of the countries that supports Israel’s massacres in Gaza, has once again been on opposite fronts to Turkey with this attitude. Although the two countries describe each other as “friends and allies,” their interests and approaches differ in many areas. It is said that the United States considers the events in Gaza as an opportunity to access natural gas fields in the eastern Mediterranean.

If Israel’s ground operation begins, the crisis in the region will grow even more.

The United States has started wars, provoked conflicts, and massacred civilians for its economic interests many times before. Some of these US measures, most of which go against Turkey’s interests, are as follows:

Gaza, which Israel has been bombing for days, turned into a pile of rubble. Hundreds of people are waiting to be rescued under the rubble. Hundreds of thousands of people migrated south to save their lives. A stampede occurs at the Rafah border gate in Egypt. Final figure: 2,808 people died in Gaza and 1,300 in Israel. Children, mothers and fathers are dying from Israeli bombs. The place is littered with corpses. The hospitals are full of injured people.

– AFGHANISTAN: In 2001, less than a month after the 9/11 attack, American soldiers entered Afghanistan. The Taliban were overthrown and a new administration established. He took control of the energy lines of Central Asia. When he retired in 2021, management passed back to the Taliban. In 20 years at least 200,000 people died, including 50,000 civilians.

US troops will withdraw from Afghanistan in 2021.

– IRAQ: They entered Iraq in 2003 with the “weapons of mass destruction” lie, which they also admitted. Saddam Hussein was executed. Iraq’s oil resources were a major factor in the occupation. The massacre and torture of civilians are etched in memory. After 20 years, there is still no stability in the country. Almost 1 million people died.

– ARAB/LIBYA SPRING: In 2011, one of the largest earthquakes of the US-backed wave of protests called the Arab Spring occurred in Libya. A fierce war broke out in the country with the air operation led by the United States and France. President Muammar Gaddafi was assassinated. The country is still in tatters. The death toll is at least 500 thousand.

– SYRIA: The United States participated directly in the war that began in 2011 and supported it from abroad for a long time, with the emergence of the terrorist organization ISIS 3 years later. It partnered with the separatist terrorist organization PKK/YPG and took control of the large oilfield region in the east of the country. The number of victims is at least 600 thousand.

– UKRAINE: The United States was one of the main actors in the war between Russia and Ukraine, which broke out again in 2022. The aid it provided to Ukraine to increase pressure on Russia approached $45 billion. 10 thousand civilians died in the region.
