There is no gainsaying that there has been relative peace and stability after the second World War, given the absence of another global war. Many alluded this international order to the so-called Pax Americana where American influence primarily brings peace to the world.

However, with multiple US military bases across sovereign states, relentless arms race between military powers, uncalled foreign interventions, destructive economic sanctions, to name a few, is there Pax Americana at all?

In this weekend selection, we bring to your attention some Global Research articles that talk about US foreign policy and the international order in a unipolar world.

Forward this selection to your family, friends and respective communities.

By Prof Michel Chossudovsky and Glen Rangwala, October 21, 2021

The Iraq war was based on a Big Lie, which was known and documented MORE THAN A MONTH before the invasion of Iraq on March 19, 2003. Both the US and UK media remained mum. The US Congress and the House of Commons failed to act.

US Sponsored NGOs against Nicaragua’s Sandinista Government: The Truth About Recent Violence in Bosawas

By Stephen Sefton, October 21, 2021

Nicaragua’s indigenous peoples enjoy the most progressive and advanced system of autonomous self-government in the hemisphere. But reporting by the Western human rights industry, in particular by US and European NGOs claiming to defend Indigenous peoples, consistently omits that fact to focus on sporadic incidents of violence, which they systematically misrepresent.

US Marines on Taiwan: Major Provocation, but Not News

By Brian Berletic, October 21, 2021

Considering the United States’ official stance on Taiwan, its placement of US forces on Taiwan is essentially a de facto invasion and occupation of Chinese territory. Beijing surely reads Taiwanese as well as Western headlines – if its intelligence apparatus was somehow unaware of last year’s US military deployment – and despite the highly provocative, unprecedented move, Beijing’s response has been infinite patience and geopolitical maturity.

Why Not Abandon All Foreign Bases?

By Laurence M. Vance, October 21, 2021

The U.S. global empire of bases and troops is unnecessary to the defense of the United States, a global force for evil, and a drain on U.S. taxpayers. Its only purpose is to carry out an imperialistic, militaristic, reckless, belligerent, and meddling U.S. foreign policy that is not in the interest of the American people.

October 7, 2001, US-NATO Invades Afghanistan: It was an Act of Self Defense. “America was Attacked by an ‘Unnamed Foreign Power’ on 9/11”

By Prof Michel Chossudovsky, October 07, 2021

The legal argument used by Washington and NATO to invade Afghanistan was that the September 11 attacks constituted an undeclared “armed attack” “from abroad” by an unnamed foreign power, and that consequently “the laws of war” apply, allowing the nation under attack, to strike back in the name of “self-defense”.
