A Few Recent Political Developments Which Should Not Go Unnoticed

Russian Army Trucks in Italy
The
COVID19/SARS-CoV-2 pandemic is, by any measure, an immense planetary
crisis which will probably change the world we live in forever. Still,
there are other issues which are maybe not quite as dramatic and
important, but which deserve not to be forgotten. Here are some of those
The grand betrayal of Tulsi Gabbard
It
was pretty clear to most observers that Tulsi Gabbard, being the only
real “peace candidate” would never be allowed to get the nomination,
never mind make it into the White House. It was also clear that Tulsi,
for all her very real qualities, simply did not have what it takes to
take on “The Swamp”. Still, in spite of this all, her candidacy and
campaign were like a huge pitcher of cool water in the middle of an
immense and dry desert. Her uniqueness amongst all the candidate is what
make her betrayal even more painful for those who respected or even
supported her. Once it became clear that she would never get the
nomination, not only did she not run as an independent (something which
Hillary seems to fear a lot), she endorsed Uncle Joe, the clearly
senile, totally corrupt and generally repugnant frontman for the Clinton
gang. This endorsement of Biden is something which she did not have to
do, but she did it.
When
the DNC stole the nomination from Sanders, he did not lead a protest or
run as an independent, he endorsed Hillary. I always considered him a
fraud for this (and many other) reasons. Now Tulsi Gabbard is doing the
same thing, which probably is a good indicator that the Democratic Party
is evil and corrupt to the core, which is hardly big news, but which is
dramatically confirmed by Gabbard’s profoundly immoral decision. Why do
I say that? Because Biden is the ultimate “anti-Gabbard”, she should
have endorsed either Bernie, or even Trump, but instead she endorsed a
morally corrupt warmonger, a total pawn for the MIC.
At the end of the day, she mostly betrayed herself, and that is the saddest aspect of this debacle.
The AngloZionist Empire – as clueless as ever
I
have forced myself to listen to the daily COVID19 briefings from the
White House and I have to say that Trump’s constant flag-waving and
self-worshiping is almost physically painful to watch. The worst parts
of these briefings are when Trump, or Pompeo, speak about the US
“leadership” as if the entire planet was desperately expecting the US to
help. It does not. In fact, most of the planet is disgusted by US
action, be it the denial of vitally needed meds to countries like Iran
or Venezuela, to the attempts are buying off German vaccines, to the
mantric repetition about how great the US private sector is and how
Amazon and Walmart will help us weather this crisis.
The
truth is that this worldwide pandemic will allow us all to compare how
different political systems, countries and cultures have reacted to the
threat. In a year or so, we shall all know how free-market capitalism
and libertarianism compared with social-democracies, socialist and even
communist countries when their population needed protection and
assistance.
True,
other countries have responded with truly amazing incompetence
(including several EU countries), so the inability to protect its
citizens is not a purely US problem, it really affects all the countries
currently subjugated by the Empire.
Finally,
it appears that the China-bashing strategic PSYOP has largely failed.
Most fake-news about China was quickly and rapidly debunked, and even
the legacy corporate ziomedia could not completely obfuscate the fact
that China is, so far, the only country on our planet which defeated
COVID19.
Will there be an “ideological lessons learned” once the crisis subsides? I sure hope so!
For the time being, the Empire does what it always does, it plans to deny even more civil rights to its own people which has true patriots like Ron Paul extremely worried. What else is new?
Capitalism with a human face?
Nope, that sure ain’t gonna happen this time around.
Serbia betrayed by Europe (again!) while Russia provides vital aid to Serbia and Italy
Serbia
has been betrayed by the Europeans, again. This time around, the
Europeans did not bomb Serbian civilians, they simply refused to sell
the meds needed to respond to the crisis. President Aleksandar Vucic has
now officially declared that the EU solidarity “exists only on paper“.
He then openly appealed for China to help, and help China did – the
Chinese sent aircraft filled with much needed medical equipment and
doctors. Then Russia followed suit and sent 10 heavy transporters filled
with gear and specialists.
Even
more amazing (and appalling) is the fact that the Empire does not even
help its own subjects – in Italy, it was Russia again which organized a
major air bridge (over 15 heavy transporters!)
and now we see Russian Army units deployed in northern Italy to help
the struggling Italians. Check out these short videos reports by the
Russian military. You don’t need to understand Russian to see the size
of the air-bridge the Russian Aerospace Forces have established or to
how grateful the Italian officials are!
I
have to say that the Serbs have been fantastically naive to trust the
very same people who bombed them, in total illegality, for 78 days,
murdering scores of innocent civilians (including those murdered in the
TV station). For example, the Serbs could have considered how the EU has
been lying to Turkey, for decades. But no, the Serbian elites now seem
to think that they will be able to fill their pockets with lucrative
contracts with the EU.
Hopefully, what these events have demonstrated shall not be forgotten when the next elections take place in Serbia.
That also goes for Italy.
And, finally,
The situation in northern Syria and Iraq
The
situation in northern Syria and Iraq has developed pretty much as
expected. So far, the Turks have been unable to re-take full control of
the M4 highway. As a result of that failure, the joint Russian-Turkish
patrols have not been able to move along the full length of the highway
as spelled out in the agreement between Russia and Turkey. Clearly,
Turkey lacks either the will, or the capability, or both, to remove the
Takfiri forces from the M4 highway. So far, the Russians and Syrians
have very kindly agreed to wait a little longer, but the recent visit of
Russian Defense Minister Shoigu to Damascus clearly shows that big
decisions are being worked on:
As
for Iraq, the various Shia militias are doing exactly what everybody
had predicted, they are executing limited but very disruptive strikes
against US forces in Iraq. Here is a good infographic by the Institute
for the Study of War which sums it up very nicely:
What
we have here is a small trickle of attacks which do not yield any major
victory to the Iraqi forces, but which over time will tremendously
demoralize US forces. Finally, such “death by a thousand cuts” strategy
also will severely limit the operational capabilities of the US forces
in Iraq: when you are mostly busy protecting yourself, you have less
time to murder locals.
Still,
sooner or later the Shias will have to step up their attacks because
forcing the occupation forces to hunker down and actually kicking them
out of your country are two very different propositions. These small
strikes are very useful, not only because they demoralize the enemy, but
because by forcing him to stay inside fortified “secure” areas only
makes them better targets for a bigger missile strike.
This
is a very sound strategy against which the US forces have no good
option, other than throwing in the towel and leaving, which they will
have to do anyway (except that they call it “declare victory and leave”,
but its the exact same thing).
