The U.S. is no stranger to interfering in the elections of other countries
▻http://www.latimes.com/nation/la-na-us-intervention-foreign-elections-20161213-story.html
The U.S. has a long history of attempting to influence presidential elections in other countries – it’s done so as many as 81 times between 1946 and 2000, according to a database amassed by political scientist Dov Levin of Carnegie Mellon University.
That number doesn’t include military coups and regime change efforts following the election of candidates the U.S. didn’t like, notably those in Iran, Guatemala and Chile. Nor does it include general assistance with the electoral process, such as election monitoring.
Levin defines intervention as “a costly act which is designed to determine the election results [in favor of] one of the two sides.”
These acts, carried out in secret two-thirds of the time, include funding the election campaigns of specific parties, disseminating misinformation or propaganda, training locals of only one side in various campaigning or get-out-the-vote techniques, helping one side design their campaign materials, making public pronouncements or threats in favor of or against a candidate, and providing or withdrawing foreign aid.

Why can 12-year-olds still get married in the United States?
▻https://www.washingtonpost.com/posteverything/wp/2017/02/10/why-does-the-united-states-still-let-12-year-old-girls-get-married
In this way, U.S. lawmakers are strongly at odds with U.S. foreign policy. The U.S. Global Strategy to Empower Adolescent Girls, released last year by the State Department, lists reducing child, early and forced marriage as a key goal. The strategy includes harsh words about marriage before 18, declaring it a “human rights abuse” that “produces devastating repercussions for a girl’s life, effectively ending her childhood” by forcing her “into adulthood and motherhood before she is physically and mentally mature.”

Toutes les armes trouvées auraient été fabriquées avant 1991 : rien à voir, donc, avec le matériel de destruction massive que l’administration Bush soupçonnait le régime de Saddam Hussein de produire. Selon le New York Times, les armes découvertes seraient des reliquats d’un programme lancé par l’Irak durant sa guerre contre l’Iran dans les années 1980.
[...] le mutisme des Etats-Unis pourrait aussi s’expliquer par leur implication dans la fabrication de ces armes.
5 / Les pays occidentaux impliqués dans la fabrication des armes
Selon le New York Times, le soutien de plusieurs pays occidentaux à l’Irak pendant la première guerre du Golfe lui a permis de développer rapidement un programme d’armement contenant ces armes chimiques . Le journal évoque le rôle d’entreprises allemandes dans la construction d’usines irakiennes ayant servi à fabriquer des ingrédients chimiques. Saddam Hussein aurait aussi acheté à des entreprises européennes et américaines des munitions pour disperser les agents toxiques fabriqués sur son sol.

..."the largest money laundering operations occur with the cooperation of the financial institutions , or at least some officers within those institutions. The lack of money laundering enforcement had nothing to do with a lack of evidence of suspicious transactions, but a lack of interest by political and law enforcement leadership.’’
[...]
“Under US law, a bank that engages in money laundering can literally be forced out of business by the government, and it is kind of surprising that government hasn’t taken that step, given the obvious deterrent effect it would have.”
[...]
Mazur, the former federal special agent and money laundering expert, says there are a “mosaic” of reasons why US authorities let the money keep running, but one of them may just be that it finds its way into too many pockets.
“Even if it’s bad wealth, it buys buildings,” he said. “It puts money into bank accounts. It enriches the nation.” ●

Le « livre blanc » de Obama a été écrit à la va-vite, dit Marie Dudziak, un professeur de droit de l’Université Emory.
▻http://www.nytimes.com/2013/03/22/opinion/obamas-nixonian-precedent.html?ref=opinion&_r=1&
À la page 4 du « livre blanc » non classifié de 16 pages, les avocats du ministère de la justice ont essayé de réfuter l’argument selon lequel le droit international ne soutient pas l’extension des conflits armés en dehors d’un champ de bataille. Ils ont cité comme autorité historique un discours prononcé le 28 mai 1970, par John R. Stevenson, le grand avocat du département d’Etat, après l’invasion du Cambodge par les Etats-Unis.
Depuis 1965, "le territoire du Cambodge a été utilisé par le Vietnam du Nord comme base d’opérations militaires," a-t-il déclaré au New York City Bar Association. "Cela a depuis longtemps atteint un niveau qui aurait justifié que nous prenions des mesures appropriées d’auto-défense sur le territoire du Cambodge. Toutefois, à l’exception de cas épars de ripostes à travers la frontière, nous nous sommes abstenus jusqu’à Avril de prendre de telles mesures au Cambodge. "
En fait, Nixon avait commencé son bombardement secret du Cambodge plus d’un an plus tôt. (Que cela ait été connu ou pas de M. Stevenson n’est pas clair.) Donc, les avocats de l’administration Obama ont cité une déclaration qui était manifestement fausse.
Politics, Power, and Preventive Action » Targeted Killings and Signature Strikes
▻http://blogs.cfr.org/zenko/2012/07/16/targeted-killings-and-signature-strikes
L’origine de l’expression étasunienne "mâle d’age militaire" ou MAM,
In his memoir My American Journey, Colin Powell recollects his tours in Vietnam, first as a U.S. Army captain in 1962 and 1963, and later as a major in 1968 and 1969. Due to the length of the war, Powell notes that many officers and noncommissioned officers deployed to Vietnam were wholly unprepared, leading to a “breakdown in morale, discipline, and professional judgment.”
I recall a phrase we used in the field, MAM, for military-age male. If a helo spotted a peasant in black pajamas who looked remotely suspicious, a possible MAM, the pilot would circle and fire in front of him. If he moved, his movement was judged evidence of hostile intent, and the next burst was not in front but at him. Brutal? Maybe so.
(...)
More recently, military-age male reentered the lexicon of American warfare with a New York Times passage describing the Obama administration’s methodology for “signature strikes” by drones against unnamed individuals
