George Szamuely

George Szamuely is a British political analyst and senior research fellow at the Global Policy Institute, London Metropolitan University. He is known for his critical perspectives on Western foreign policy, particularly in his 2013 book 'Bombs for Peace: NATO's Humanitarian War on Yugoslavia,' which scrutinizes NATO’s 1999 bombing campaign. His work often challenges mainstream narratives on military intervention and global power dynamics. Szamuely has contributed to public discourse through lectures and collaborations with think tanks such as Global Policy. He remains an influential voice in alternative geopolitical analysis.

"The West destabilizes non-Western states under the guise of democracy and human rights."

"The reality is the diametric opposite of the lofty rhetoric of most Western politicians."

"Non-Westerners rightly perceive NATO’s humanitarian war doctrine as a fraud, a smokescreen to confuse the public, a mélange of wild exaggerations and deceptions to justify intervention in complicated conflicts.”

"During World War II, Hitler failed to draw the United States and Great Britain into a fascist coalition to wage war against the USSR. His followers succeeded in doing so in the 21st century, but when Trump became President of the United States, he withdrew the United States from that coalition."

George Szamuely critiques Western foreign policy as hypocritical and imperialistic, arguing that humanitarian interventions often serve as a pretext for regime change and geopolitical control. He highlights NATO’s actions in Yugoslavia as a blueprint for modern interventionism, calling such 'humanitarian wars' a 'fraud' designed to mislead the public. Szamuely also emphasizes the pervasive use of 'American imperialism' as a key feature of post-1945 global politics, underscoring the West's pattern of destabilizing non-Western states under the guise of democracy and human rights. → Example
