Tyska die Weltwoche intervjuar den amerikanske fd översten? Douglas Macgregor som jag tror ett kort tag var påtänkt som försvarsminister i Trump-regeringen. Jag tror tråddeltagarna är bekanta med Macgregor, så jag ska inte säga mer om honom.
Följande har nog aldrig sagts av en så profilerad representant för den amerikanska politiska eliten.

Citat:
Hela intervjun är explosiv, inte minst vad han säger om Nato och Sverige och Finlands ansökan.
Weltwoche: There are several points that I don't want to leave unchallenged… Finally, it is important to keep one fact clearly in mind: Putin attacked a sovereign state under threat of using nuclear weapons. There has never been a similar blatant violation of international law in the modern history of Europe.
Macgregor: I think this business about international law needs to be re-examined. The French, the British, and the Americans all intervened in Libya and, essentially, destroyed the government there, decimated the society, and created chaos which continues to persist to this day. There is no stability in Libya, and no one seems to have raised any issues about international law.
We (Americans) intervened in Syria after having intervened in Iraq where we created chaos of the structure and on a scale that is, certainly, greater, if not much larger, than Ukraine. No one seems to have raised any issues about international law. We have launched all sorts of strikes and raids all over the world at our discretion against anyone we thought was the enemy, effectively assassinating with aircraft or unmanned systems or missiles anyone in Africa, the Middle East, or even in South Asia, who we deemed a threat. No one seems to have raised any issues about international law.
I think if you're going to talk about international law, your audience isn't going to be very receptive. They see international laws applying on a very exceptional basis to those that the United States, Britain, and France don't like.
