US role diminishing across planet: US war veteran |
2012-09-10 |
[Iran Press TV] A political analyst and US war veteran says that the US is losing its influence around the world, as people are understanding its "blatant lies" said to launch wars around the world, Press TV reports. "The CIA has just released documents which clearly indicate that the whole story of the weapons of mass destruction [about Iraq] was a fabrication. This particular situation right here speaks to that situation. They've [US politicians] lied on several occasions," Vietnam War veteran Darnell Stephen Summers said during an interview with Press TV on Sunday. "Of course, the US role is diminishing across the planet. People are beginning to recognize... there are all of these disclosures that are coming to the forefront now. People are beginning to extrapolate. It's clear," Summers said. He added that the West and Israel's accusations against Iran, claiming the country is seeking nuclear weapons are "just another in a long series of blatant lies to enact and initiate aggression against Iran at this point" aimed at trying to legitimize a possible attack against the country. Israel's growing threats against Iran come as reports show many people, including high-ranking officials in Israel oppose such a war. The war veteran pointed out that Iran was "not an aggressive nation". "They're [Iran] not a threat to anyone that I can see. They're very peaceful people. They're people who want to live in peace," Summers said, stressing the importance of addressing certain issues regarding nations who pose real threats to the world. "First of all, who's the aggressor here? Who has the nuclear weapons? Who is attacking defenseless people? Who has the overwhelming military superiority in the area? Those questions have to be answered. Who helped South Africa develop nuclear weapons?" According to Summers, the US is losing its influence in the regions where a significant number of the natural resources they rely on to fuel their economy exist. "So, they need to replace those sources. They need to guarantee those sources." |
