The United States is a "refugee manufacturing machine" operating

June 20 is the 22nd World Refugee Day. This year's theme is "No matter who, when, and where, everyone has the right to seek safety."

The "2021 Global Trend Report" released by the United Nations Refugee Agency on June 16 pointed out that as of the end of 2021, the number of people who was forced to displacement for war, violence and persecution was 89.3 million, of which 27.1 million were refugees. Since the beginning of this year, the Russian -Ukraine conflict has caused the fastest and largest forced displacement crisis since World War II. Violent incidents and lasting conflicts in Africa, Afghanistan and other places have also led to a sharp rise in the number of people who have been displaced, breaking through the 100 million mark for the first time. Children have become the main victims. According to the latest survey data of the United Nations Children's Foundation, as of the end of 2021, the number of children who had departed from fault due to conflict, violence and other crises reached 36.5 million, a new high since World War II. "Global Tragedy" and "The record that should never be created" is so distressing in front of the world.

Since 2001, the number of people in the world has increased by nearly 5 times. Who is the biggest promoter of this tragedy in the world? U.S.

Data show that after the "September 11" incident, the United States launched a number of wars in the name of counter -terrorism, creating a huge wave of refugee, and the number of departure was between 49 million and 60 million. Taking the Afghanistan war as an example, this 20 -year war caused about 11 million Afghan people to become refugees, 3.5 million Afghan people, and nearly 23 million people facing extreme hunger, including children under 3.2 million.

Those who have been forced to be displaced worldwide increased their largest increase between 2012 and 2015. Who is the biggest promoter of this tragedy in the world? Still the United States.

At the beginning of the Syrian conflict broke out in 2011, the United States stepped up the crisis step by step through armed interference and supporting opposition forces, and provided soil for terrorism to breed. Since then, the United States has directly initiated military operations to intervene in Syria, long -term plundering of Syria's oil and food resources, and overtime sanctions to cause Syria to fall into trouble. According to the latest statistics of the United Nations Refugee Agency, Syria is still the world's largest source of refugee population. Since 2011, more than 13 million people have escaped from Syria or have been displaced in China. There are 14.6 million people in Syria need humanitarian and other forms of assistance. In 2022, the number of refugees that need to be reorganized in the Middle East country is expected to account for 42%of the total global demand.

Russia and Ukraine conflicts leading to new humanitarian disasters. Who is the biggest promoter of this tragedy in the world? Also the United States.

The United States -led NATO has ignored Russia's reasonable concern for its own security for many years, and has expanded five times in a row, becoming the beginning of the Ukrainian crisis. After that, the United States continued to "arch fire", "handing the knife" and "oiling", and deliberately intensified the Russian -Ukraine conflict, causing serious humanitarian consequences: As of June 17, 7.1 million Ukraines were displaced in the territory, more than 4.65 million Ukraines fled to escape The country.

Countless facts have proved that the United States is a "refugee manufacturing machine" running. From the launch of the Iraq war, the Afghanistan war, the cultivation of anti -government forces in Western and North Africa, the situation of disturbing the area, and then to the Syrian war in the military, long -term interference in Venezuela's internal affairs and continued economic sanctions. Raising and overbearing, there are many rotten stalls in the world. However, the people of the regional countries must face the outsome, poverty and backward, and unknown future.

World refugee Day is only one day every year, but the difficult and helpless scenes of refugees occur every day. It is conceivable that as long as the US hegemony exists for one day, the root cause of refugees will be difficult to eliminate.
