What it means? Ignore Erdogan's touching rhetoric about Gaza. Pay attention to what he does, and he obviously is in cahoots with Israel, unless you believe that the timing of the attack and Israeli participation was all total coincidence.
As for the United States and Israel, turning Syria into a failed state is entirely intentional, just as it was with Iraq and Libya.
It was Obama who continued the Bush/Cheney neocon agenda in Syria, and then came Biden! Iran is next on it's agenda, since seven countries were to be taken out and now there is only one left, Iran. You bet that's coming, and when it does one could only hope Russia will not get into it, and should it, that will be the end of US.
I've now become unfortunately used to the idea that just about any shakeup of the world order precipitated by the machinations of the empire ends up somehow shaking out in favor of Israel. It reminds me of the stunning power of the enormous money funding the Zionist lobby.
In the 21st century all our Middle Eastern wars were for the benefit of Israel, a neocon agenda. Netanyahu filled with lies about Iraq pushed for war claiming Saddam was looking to produce nuclear weapons, or had them. A lie. Read a Clean Break by Richard Perle, or The Project for a New American Century if you haven't already. Watch the video clip of Netanyahu lying, and knowing he's lying. Erdogan sucks!
You repeatedly make this point, and you're right, goddamit. I figure that half the freakin' world has PTSD just from the utter frustration of wanting to see Bibi in front of a Nuremberg-type court — or a firing squad — and the idiot settlers who block the food trucks endure at least a vigorous caning by the best caners in Malaysia.
An informed public could act as a deterrent. There were many things that were undercover then saw the light of day, and things did change, like child abuse. It is now something we acknowledge, do something about, which was not true in the past. Now news outlets act solely as divisive outlets and truth be damned.
I dearly wish what you are saying about child abuse were true, but in fact it has grown by the year. Millions of children are abused each year in the US and thousands die. This country/Empire run by neocons, bought politicians and greed operates and expands, just as our private prisons keep expanding under every President, expanding out into the entire world through sheer force and military and economic aggression. How could that atmosphere, permeating this country with insecurity, neglect, fear, repression, violent movies & video games and increasing poverty and addiction not affect our broken homes, families and communities? We do need to keep shining all our lights, and a lot of generational healing needs to be done to break those cycles of abuse.
As Karl Marx said, force is the only effective force in history. The Russians believe in the efficacy of truth. The West believes in the efficacy of force.
Good one: the Bibi we know and despise assuring us that it's just OK to take out anyone we don't like, i.e., anyone Israel thinks it would like to see eliminated.
I think Israel will eventually go the same way as every other country that has been f**cked over by the USA - when their usefulness ends, after war has reduced them to rubble, the money will dry up, they will be dropped, thrown under the bus, fed to the wolves, abandoned and left to rot. At least, I hope so.
Wish I could share that hope. But what I see is billionaire Zionists scattered throughout the world, so that even were the US to abandon Israel -- which I doubt would ever happen to its "aircraft carrier in the middle east", there would be plenty of financial support keeping the insanity going. Sadly.
I listened to him today on Consortium News. If anyone expects things to be better for the Syrians, they are deluded, since chaos was always on the agenda of US and Israel in the countries it helped destroy. A neocon agenda that continues to this day. Now Israel simply has a freer hand in it's continuation of it's genocide. I believe absent Hezbollah caught up in Lebanon made it a whole lot easier for this to take place and perhaps on Israel's agenda as well when it went into Lebanon.
So educational and bringing much clarity to this mess that the US and Ottoman Empires create. I hope that the secular and biblical Israelis have a civil war and cause the state to collapse so that they know what it feels like to have a land unliveable.!!8
Thank you. A fascinating insight, and horrifying. It brought to mind the 19th century's "Great Game" / "Tournament of Shadows". Will we ever mature. What will our century's depravity, immaturity and carelessness be named; it doesn't bear thinking.
Magical thinking from Israel is about right. (Especially in that, like Ukraine and so many countries before them, they don't realise that the US will be drop them when their usefulness is over, with a shrug of indifference). But the US - infantile thinking at best. But not nice infants - these are screaming delinquents, irritable, stupid, self obsessed, with no insight. They always use the phrase "the grown-ups in the room", but what they mean by that is people that do not care for rational debate. Raised on violent movies and gun culture, plus an obscene, over-riding envy and hatred of intellect, they prefer simplistic ability for war strategy and militarism over any profundity of thought, a short term gain wins over every civilised consideration. When allied with an unholy lust for money at any cost, the result is a country and a regime that will destroy the entire world out of a sick lack of care. They are literally careless. The other regime leaders, unlike their safe and remote Washington-Pentagon-Wall Street counterparts, are directly affected by the mayhem inflicted on their doorstep, so are forced into desperate measures to try and protect what they have.
Thanks Chris, as it is starting to look like Judge Napolitano’s website is nothing but a Big Oil Devotional lead by devotes of the petrodollar brigade. That here we are being played but once again, and of course didn’t know it, so let’s take the best of it, and thus produce something honest, compelling that leads to a way out of this darkness.

Oh yes indeed, PNAC laid it all out there.
I wish more people were aware of the truth especially during our Middle Eastern wars. Neocon driven ME wars!
Israel's agenda is no secret. What does anyone propose to do about it?
Crying "meanie!" or "no fair!" will not deter them, any more than quoting Scripture at an armed robber will turn them back.

I wish I didn't have keep meowing the same thing over and over again, and I wish that I were wrong.

He doesn't believe a word he is saying and knows it to be a total lie, which tells you a whole lot about Netanyahu and his capacity to lie.

the leader of a state founded on terrorism by terrorists and maintained by terrorists complains about terrorists
I felt sick watching him, and I mean it. I have always disliked him.

Excellent and essential report!
NYT piece claims Israel liberated Syria. The hubris is unconscionable. See here https://substack.com/home/post/p-152820610?source=queue

Dear Chris,
The Chinese will eat the Zionist Jews for Breakfast. FULL STOP

Great piece! The level of incompetence in corporate media is increasingly becoming absurd, even to those who don't watch or read it.
Victims never forget according to this piece: https://open.substack.com/pub/aelmi/p/elephant-memories-the-victims-who?r=1p4a5j&utm_medium=ios
OMG, the “brotherhood” of what??? The only brotherhood Abu Mohammed al-Jolani has is with Israelis and Netanyahu.
https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=6iLWa9KgJa4
Jolani is giving Syria to Netanyahu, so guess that was Jolani’s paid for game plan.
Probably should have Cyrus Janssen on if he wants in invite.
Before the US tries to take us to war with China.
