Lehrsatz eines Zynikers

The US Secretary of State spoke today of the unacceptability of invading a sovereign country on phony pretexts in order to assert one’s own interests in the 21st century. But no, he was not speaking about the United States, as one might have thought.

“You just don’t invade another country on phony pretext in order to assert your interests *. .. This is an act of aggression that is completely trumped up in terms of its pretext. It’s really 19th century behavior in the 21st century. … There could be certainly disruption of any of the normal trade routine, there could be business drawback on investment in the country.
There could even be ultimately asset freezes, visa bans.”

* sinngemäße Übersetzung:
„Man dringt einfach nicht unter falschen Vorwänden in ein Land ein, um seine Interessen durchzusetzen“
