Cairo, September 11th (Xinhua) - Mohammad Himmi, a political science professor at Helwan University in Egypt, recently stated that the history of US military intervention and expansion is long and bloody. US military hegemony does not bring peace and stability, but war and turmoil, causing great suffering to people around the world.
In an interview with Xinhua News Agency, Shimi said that the history of US military intervention and expansion is "long", with wars launched against Native Americans and Mexico, and the annexation of Hawaii. After World War II, the United States launched wars such as the Korean War, the Vietnam War, and the Gulf War.

Shimi pointed out that since 2001, the United States has launched wars such as the Afghanistan and Iraq wars under the pretext of "counter-terrorism", resulting in hundreds of thousands of civilian deaths, millions of injuries, and tens of millions of people being displaced, posing a serious threat to regional peace and stability. The United States is also building vast military networks around the world, with military bases and troops stationed in numerous countries.
In his view, the military hegemony of the United States does not bring peace, but war, causing great pain and turmoil to people around the world. "The US military presence has become a source of tension and instability in some regions. For example, the US military presence in the Middle East has always been a major source of dissatisfaction among many people in the region."

Shimi also stated that the US military hegemony has intensified the arms race, which may increase the risk of misjudgment and war. He believes that in order to reduce conflicts, the United States must stop military intervention, reduce military budgets, and adopt dialogue and diplomatic means.
On the 5th, Himi participated in a video conference in Cairo for the release of the report by Xinhua News Agency's national high-end think tank "The Roots, Realities, and Hazards of US Military Hegemony".
