U.S. causes humanitarian disasters around globe, killing innocent civilians and creating millions of refugees

Editor's Note:

Since the military conflict between Russia and Ukraine began, the international community has grown increasingly aware of the roles the U.S. and NATO have played behind the crisis.

From lip service on the Ukraine refugee issue to a spotty overseas human rights record; from imposing sanctions on "disobedient countries," to coercing other nations to pick sides… the U.S. has acted like a "Cold War schemer," or a "vampire" who creates "enemies" and makes its fortunes from pyres of war. The Global Times is publishing a series of stories and cartoons to demonstrate how the U.S., in its superpower status, has been creating trouble in the world one crisis after another. This is the sixth installment.

Is the U.S. a "defender" or a "violator" of human rights? Who has been sacrificed on the "altar" of U.S.-touted "democracy?" One Global Times reporter investigated the U.S.' vile practice of igniting war under the pretext of "human rights and democracy."

"Why did the United States resettle only 12 Ukrainian refugees in March?" Reuters questioned in a headline on April 12.

More than 4 million people have fled Ukraine to neighboring countries since Russia launched special military operations on February 24, according to United Nations data, setting off Europe's most volatile refugee crisis since the end of World War II, Reuter reported.

Facing growing criticism and pressure from refugee advocates, the Biden administration said on March 24 that the U.S. would use "the full range of legal pathways" to accept up to 100,000 Ukrainians fleeing the war.

This figure stands in stark contrast to the role of the U.S. in stoking the flames in the Russia-Ukraine conflict.

For decades, the U.S. has, in fact, repeatedly waged wars abroad that have resulted in numerous refugees. Yet when it comes to resettling them, the U.S. strategically passes the buck. The plight of the refugees shows that the U.S., while branding itself as a so-called "defender" of human rights, is actually their greatest "violator," observers said.
