Assange: US Will Do Everything to Overthrow ‘Unwanted’ Governments

ꕤ Article SOURCE http://sptnkne.ws/Kd7 US Will Do Everything to Overthrow ‘Unwanted’ Governments - Assange 15:04 16.09.2015   http://sptnkne.ws/Kd7 The United States uses all its available resources to overthrow “undesirable” governments in other countries, WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange said, according to German website NEOPresse. Washington uses everything from military intelligence to commercial organizations to remove foreign governments that it considers unwanted. At the same time, the United States keeps increasing its firepower, establishing military bases across the world. The current American "empire" consists of over 1,400 military bases in more than 120 countries. Meanwhile, Russia has only 12 military bases, one of which is in Syria that the Americans are currently trying to close down. Washington tried to do the same in Crimea, Assange said. The American government doesn't act on behalf of its people, but serves to the interests of largest US corporations, the WikiLeaks founder said. The US government uses unorthodox methods to achieve its objectives — such as the use of mercenaries and other third parties to fight its wars, Assange said.  Thus, if there is a government that the United States doesn't like and considers to be a threat to its perception of the world, Washington will do everything to try to get rid of it. Assange, who has been residing in the Ecuadorian embassy in London under asylum for over three years, has been wanted for questioning by  Swedish authorities since 2010 over accusations of unlawful sexual coercion and rape. The activist has denied the accusations, stating that Swedish extradition attempts are aimed at sending him to the United States, where he faces espionage charges for publishing thousands of leaked top-secret military documents and diplomatic cables online. source http://sputniknews.com/us/20150916/1027076965/us-spends-lots-of-resources-to-overthrow-foreign-governments-julian-assange.html ---------------------- ꕤ ---------------------- COMMENT So that's 12 Russian military bases versus over 1,400 American military bases, in 120 countries. And this is the staggering amount of American military spending versus what other nations spend - combined: It's worthwhile considering these factors when the US, British, NATO and EU propaganda machines, in the service of the US empire, start making media noise about the threat of 'Russian aggression'.  lol WikiLeaks have just published a book on the American empire and its geopolitical impact, and it sounds a really good read: BOOK: The WikiLeaks Files: The World According to US Empire http://www.versobooks.com/books/1931-the-wikileaks-files Transcript: Assange - UK-US Special Relationship - War On Syria, Corbyn, & The WikiLeaks Files  |  here ---------------------- ꕤ  ---------------------- Julian Assange Australian Journalist FAQ & Support https://justice4assange.com/ ꕤ
