Strong international commentary 丨 Morrison turned Australia into a sad joke
“Some Australian soldiers shot or cut civilians and unarmed prisoners, and these Australian soldiers often felt ‘glorious’ about the ‘sheer number of illegal killings.’ Recently, the Australian Defense Ministry published an investigative report detailing what Australian soldiers were like Indiscriminate murder of innocents against humanity in Afghanistan. The brutal details like cutting the throats of two 14-year-old boys and throwing them into the river are horrifying and have been heavily condemned by the international community.
However, faced with the serious crimes committed by his country’s soldiers, Australian Prime Minister Morrison did not apologize. Instead, he expressed dissatisfaction with the social media post by the Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson of a cartoon condemning the brutality of the Australian military and blatantly demanding that China “Apologize” really refreshed the world’s perception. outside of their moral standards. It was only when public opinion was fierce and the murderers were convicted one after another that Morrison condemned and said the matter “stopped here” and so on.
Anyone with a basic conscience can see that the images posted by Chinese officials are cartoons based on the content of the Australian report. Although it is not a live photo, the content is true and correct. As Prime Minister of Australia, Morrison should have thought deeply and brought the killer to justice, giving an explanation to the Afghan people and the international community. But the fact is: he ignores the blood of innocent civilians at the hands of his country’s soldiers, and instead gets angry at the righteous voices of others and beats him up, which is extremely derogatory.
Could it be that Morrison did this just for a cartoon stating facts? Of course, no. As British scholar Martin Jacques noted, “It is not the photos that really bother him, but rather he believes that the Chinese have no right to comment on the killing of Australian special forces in Afghanistan.”
Indeed, for a long time Western politicians represented by some Australian politicians have played the role of “human rights teachers” and have only allowed themselves to arrogantly give advice and even fabricate human rights lies one after another to smear other countries. , but they don’t allow other countries to speak. The stigma of human rights. Morrison’s performance in the “comic incident” can be said to fully expose the dominance, hypocrisy, and double standards of the “human rights teacher,” as well as the grim psychology of trying to divert attention and the guilty conscience of facing the truth.
To cover up the scandal, Australia has used all means. David McBride, who was the first to expose the atrocities of the Australian military, is reportedly facing charges and trial by the Australian judiciary for allegedly committing five crimes. A soldier who had the courage to expose the truth and served twice in Afghanistan was truly the victim of retaliation! Are these the “human rights” advertised in Australia? Not surprisingly, the Russian Foreign Ministry commented that “Australia’s reputation on the international stage has been shattered.”
It is worth noting that after the comic incident, individual Australian allies indiscriminately accused China. This makes people wonder: Have they lost their international justice and moral conscience and openly supported war criminals? How can those countries that talk about freedom of expression all day long and don’t tolerate a cartoon that reflects the real situation? It seems that justice and conscience are worthless in their eyes under the double standard of “only ask the position, not good and evil.”
Indeed, the Western world should reflect on the following: Why has the local security situation not improved after nearly 20 years of military missions in Afghanistan? Much of this is due to the atrocities committed by some Western troops in Afghanistan. Collusion with war crimes and disregard for justice are turning some Western troops under the banner of peace into accomplices of terrorists and tramplers of peace and justice.
“Australia is fast becoming a sad joke,” is a warning issued by Tony Kevin, the former Australian ambassador to Poland and Cambodia. Indeed, if those in power in Australia do not focus on purging the army, bringing criminals to justice and apologizing to the Afghan people, but continue to harass them, it will not only crush Australia’s national reputation, but also the pride of the western world. “Values”. Don’t be too moralistic, Morrison!
