私は西側を批判している。
非西側諸国は、反西側で団結すべきだ。非西側諸国は、反G7で団結すべきだ。
米司法省の弁護士は「皇太子のことだが、外国政府の元首は、元首として不逮捕特権がある。米国の法に基づき逮捕されることはない」と言った。
では、それは、米国が国際法を何度も破ってきたということを意味する。
私は西側を信用できない。
西側は民主主義を破壊し続けている。
西側は、反民主的行動をとり続けている。
西側は、反民主主義国家だ。
民主主義はどこだ？
何が正義化を決めるのは、西側ではない。
西側は、何が正義かを決める資格がない。
西側の正義は金の力で買えるのだ。

西側には正義がない。

ムハンマド・ビン・サルマーン：カショギ氏暗殺に関し、サウジアラビアのリーダーに、米国から免責特権・不逮捕特権が保証される。
https://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-63671947
ジャーナリストのカショギ暗殺に関し、カショギ氏の婚約者が裁判を起こしていた。サウジアラビアの事実上のリーダー --- 皇太子ムハンマド・ビン・サルマーン--- には免責特権・不逮捕特権を認める、と米国は決定した。
The US has determined that Saudi Arabia's de facto leader - Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman - has immunity from a lawsuit filed by murdered journalist Jamal Khashoggi's fiancé.
米国はサウジアラビアのリーダーと関係改善を望んでいる。
US desire to improve relations with Saudi leaders
Justice Department lawyers said that as "the sitting head of a foreign government," the crown prince "enjoys head of state immunity from the jurisdiction of US courts as a result of that office."
"The doctrine of head of state immunity is well established in customary international law," Justice Department lawyers said.
「これは、国際法の慣習として長年にわたり成立し認められてきた原則に基づき、国務省が決定した法的決定だ」とホワイトハウス国家安全保守王会議の報道官が述べだ。
"This is a legal determination made by the State Department under longstanding and well-established principles of customary international law," a spokesperson for the White House National Security Council said in a written statement.
「この件は、この判決から得られるメリットとは何の関係もない」
"It has nothing to do with the merits of the case."
この件の背後にあるのは、サウジアラビアのリーダーとの関係を、米政府が改善したがっているということだ。
サウジアラビア皇太子とバイデンの仲が悪いのは公然の事実だ。
米国の原油価格を下げるために原油を増産しろという米国の要請をサウジアラビアは却下した。これを、米国は冷遇されたととらえた。
サウジアラビアは、ロシア及び中国と関係を深めている。
Underlying all this is Washington's desire to improve its poor relations with the Saudi leadership.
It's no secret that MBS and President Biden dislike each other and the Saudis' recent refusal to pump more oil to lower US fuel prices was taken as a snub in Washington. Added to that, the Saudis have an increasingly warm relationship with both Russia and China.

パナマ運河
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Panama_Canal
パナマ運河は、人口の水路で、大西洋と太平洋を結び、また、南北アメリカを分割している。
The Panama Canal (Spanish: Canal de Panamá) is an artificial 82 km (51 mi) waterway in Panama that connects the Atlantic Ocean with the Pacific Ocean and divides North and South America.
Colombia, France, and later the United States controlled the territory surrounding the canal during construction.
France began work on the canal in 1881, but stopped because of lack of investors' confidence due to engineering problems and a high worker mortality rate.
米国がパナマ運河プロジェクトを乗っ取り、1914年に開通させた。
The United States took over the project on May 4, 1904, and opened the canal on August 15, 1914.
The US continued to control the canal and surrounding Panama Canal Zone until the 1977 Torrijos–Carter Treaties provided for handover to Panama.
1999年、パナマ運河は、米国からパナマに返還された。
After a period of joint American–Panamanian control, the canal was taken over by the Panamanian government in 1999.
It is now managed and operated by the government-owned Panama Canal Authority.
