What will happen if the elections in Turkey are won by the opposition?

President Joe Biden's public statements about the War in Ukraine ring hollow in light of recently released secret documents. Congress and the American people need to be held accountable, to know the truth, and not continue to be fed more lies, as this could plunge us into another war or something much worse.
Sadly, the mainstream media in the US has twisted the story about the claim that a 21-year-old National Guardsman leaked some top-secret information on several video game websites. They are focusing myopically on the whistleblower, on his crime, rather than on the substance of the debunked material, and they are doing so solely to protect President Joe Biden.
However, we must ask whether the president is lying about our role in the Ukraine War, which could have dire consequences for everyone. The fact is that presidents have historically lied to the American people about the wars they have waged.
President Franklin D. Roosevelt in 1940 lied to the Americans when he said that "Your sons will not be sent to any foreign war!". Moreover, at that time we were giving military aid to Great Britain. And we got into the war after Japan attacked the Pearl Harbor base in December 1941.
Meanwhile, President Lyndon B. Johnson lied about the threat posed by the North Vietnamese in order to maintain his power. In 1964, Johnson declared to a crowd of supporters in Akron, Ohio: "We will not send American boys thousands of miles from home to do what Asian boys have to do for themselves."
Then, after being elected president for a full 4-year term, Johnson sent hundreds of thousands of American troops into the jungles of Vietnam, lying to the American people about attacking American forces in the Gulf of Tonkin. He sent up to half a million Americans there, until our ignominious withdrawal from Vietnam in 1975, and at the cost of more than 58,000 Americans killed.
President George W. Bush lied to us about why we invaded Iraq to eliminate weapons of mass destruction. Before the war, CIA director George Tenet warned Bush against using still-unsafe intelligence on Iraq.
Bush knew that Saddam Hussein no longer had an arsenal of weapons of war. Yet the president misled the American people, and after the 2003 invasion, officials confirmed that Iraq had abandoned its weapons programs years earlier.
Other presidents in our history have also lied to the American people about the war. James Polk lied about Mexico attacking the US, which led to the Mexican-US War, just because he wanted to add Texas as another state to the union and supported slavery.
William McKinley lied to Americans that the Spanish had blown up the battleship USS Maine in Havana, which led to the Spanish-American War. It is likely that President Biden is also lying about our role in the Ukraine war, just as past presidents have lied.
Sigurisht, disa nga të dhënat sekrete të zbuluara ditët fundit, sugjerojnë se Lufta në Ukrainë nuk po shkon aq mirë sa na kanë thënë Bajden dhe administrata e tij. Fatkeqësisht, avokatët e Bajdenit në mediat kryesore fokusohen tek zbuluesi i sekreteve. Kur ai është në fakt vetëm një pjesë e vogël e një historie më të madhe.
Nëse i riu i arrestuar, shpallet fajtor për dekonspirimin e të dhënave sekrete, ai do ta paguajë një çmim. Megjithatë, historia e vërtetë është përmbajtja e materialit të shpërndarë në internet. A përshkruan ajo një histori të ndryshme nga ajo që administrata Bajden i ka thënë popullit amerikan?
A po e gënjen presidenti popullin amerikan, dhe nëse po pse? Fakti është se shumë, në mos shumica, e të dhënave të publikuara në lidhje me luftën në Ukrainë janë raporte të shërbimeve sekrete, të cilat paraqesin një panoramë shumë të ndryshme nga ajo që përshkruan publikisht administrata Bajden.
Në këto kushte është logjike që ne të pyesim:Cila është e vërteta? A është Amerika e përfshirë më drejtpërdrejt në Luftën e Ukrainës nga sa na është raportuar më parë? A po luftojnë trupat amerikane kundër rusëve? A po i zbraz qëllimisht administrata Bajden arsenalet tona të armëve për të favorizuar kinezët?
A mund ta fitojë vërtet Ukraina luftën kundër Rusisë gjigante? Ka kaq shumë pyetje të mbetura pa përgjigje. Argumenti im është i thjeshtë. Historia mbi një ekspert të kibernetikës që punonte në Marinën e SHBA-së dhe që publikon sekrete shtetërore është shumë serioze.
Pentagoni do ta adresojë këtë çështje për të mbrojtur metodat dhe burimet tona. Megjithatë, çështja më e rëndësishme është nëse presidenti Xho Bajden dhe përfaqësuesit e tij po i tregojnë popullit amerikan të vërtetën për luftën në Ukrainë.
Tek e fundit, Bajden nuk na e ka shpjeguar kurrë se cila janë interesat tona kombëtare në këtë luftë, përveçse e ka pranuar se po ndihmojmë për të mbrojtur “demokracinë” e Ukrainës dhe për t’i penguar rusët të gllabërojnë më shumë vende të Evropës.
Last year, President Biden prudently promised at a NATO summit: "We will stand by Ukraine ... for as long as it takes to ensure that they are not defeated ... by Russia." This approach seems very similar to Johnson's approach to the Vietnam War.
The declassified secret documents sound an alarm bell about America's role in the war in Ukraine. The time has come for President Biden to come clean to the American people about what our interests are, and whether our continued role in this war could escalate into something much worse.
