Letter: Dismal US record
Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Sir: The main stumbling block at the Rambouillet discussions was the Yugoslav refusal to accept Nato troops in their country. Quite right too.
The sole aim of this despicable "alliance", which successfully ruined the Soviet economy through the arms race it spearheaded, at the risk of total global annihilation, is and has always been the furtherance of American power in Europe. Despite the impressions that our leaders are so keen to convey, 90 per cent of Nato's planes, bombs, and military high command have "USA" written all over them.
For a nation that has dropped the atomic bomb on the civilian populations of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, slaughtered one million men, women and children in Vietnam, and backed to the hilt every murderous and corrupt dictatorship throughout Central and South America to impose itself as the world's moral guardian would be a joke if its consequences were not so horrifying.
