Biden's UN speech shows further US commitment to war and meddling, not 'diplomacy'

Ben Norton analyzes the lies and misleading claims in US President Joe Biden's speech at the United Nations, and shows how the corporate media coverage is very misleading.

Double-speak translation: prepare for "relentless war.

Values values values ....that's all he ever spouts.. when America is completely devoid of any.. I absolutely feel dusgusted by their hypocrisy .. 👿

[Stop-and-listen]

Remember when Geroge Bush gave a speech at the UN, and then Chavez came along and said, “smells like sulfur”? Well, Biden gave his speech, and the next speaker said, “smells like poop.”

Ask Joe why there are people in jail for sending socks to Afghanistan, while he left 85 billion dollars of military gear for the Taliban. Must be a logical reason. Right?

Don't apologize for the length of your report Ben. It was very informative.

Experience has taught me that when politicians (as well as liars and gaslighters in general) tell you what they are NOT going to do -- that is exactly what they are going to do.

Its pretty simple though to tell the Truth. Don't listen to anything America says but look at what America actually do.

I remember his first act of "diplomacy." Four weeks after his inauguration, he ruthlessly and illegally bombed and murdered about 22 Iranians invited by Syria to help defend their country. SOME DIPLOMACY!

War and meddling is what DC considers diplomacy. Honestly, nothing new to those paying attention.

Oh my, this is all so amusing when you consider that in Mexico City on Sept 18, 32 Latin American and Carribean countries came together for the first time in 4 years to work on restructing a coalition of cooperation and brotherhood amongst themselves called CELAC. Listening to the presidents of Cuba, Venezuela, Bolivia, Peru and many others with their points of view of their fine neighbors to the north was beyond words. Granted, still a few lackies in the group (i.e. Paraguay, Uraguay and a few others), but the majority on board with the program. So glad we tuned in and witnessed some of the most amazing speeches I've heard from these crazy dictators. (that last part is indeed sarcasm)

Thanks, Ben. I interpreted Biden's UN speech exactly as you did: pro-war all the way.

[ladooshka]

Unbelievable hypocrisy! Cannot stand listening to his lies.

[MohicanD]

Same old, same old as usual, cold war will continue and let's hope and pray US Imperialism doesn't start a new war.
God mercy on humanity.

Thank you, Grayzone! Bringing TRUTH to the world!

[paulwellman]

Thanks. This is the best distillation of the horror of the United Corporations of America I have seen.

The U.S. keeps on surrounding Russia, and expects no response from Russia.

[JamieNixx]

Very interesting how you broke it all down like that, country by county. I was able to understand more easily, thanks!

[michaelscott]

If I as France I would divorce the US and demand my statue be returned 😀
