Editor's note: It is more than likely most of the people at the UN who listened to Biden give his speech prepared for him by his handlers, were shaking their heads remembering back to the US invasion of Iraq based on false intelligence and pretenses. The US-led invasion of Iraq was an illegal act that contravened the UN charter. As a result, over 929,000 people have died in the post-9/11 wars due to direct war violence. There were several times as many killed due to the reverberating effects of war. Over 387,000 civilians have been killed as a result of the fighting. The number of war refugees and displaced persons is estimated at around 38 million people. The US government's price tag for the post-9/11 wars is over $8 trillion most of it going to US war contractors who call it "defense." The US government is currently conducting counter terrorism activities in 80 countries calling it "national security." On the other hand, Russia was completely transparent when Russia launched its Special Military Operation (SMO) into Ukraine on 24 February 2022. The Russian permanent representative to the UN notified the UN secretary-general that Russia's military action was "taken in accordance with Article 51 of the UN Charter in the exercise of the right of self-defense." See the huge difference and disparity here?
