Description

US Proxy War with Russia in Ukraine Extends to Syria - The collective West is increasingly struggling to maintain the illusion of primacy in Europe as Russian forces advance on the battlefield, Western missiles fired into Russia fail to change the strategic direction of the conflict, and tensions dangerously escalate between the West and Russia; - Ukraine’s military continues to deteriorate as Russian combat power grows, accelerating Russia’s gains on the battlefield; - Russia has demonstrated escalation dominance with the use of its Oreshnik intermediate-range ballistic missile, allowing for non-nuclear retaliation against Western targets if necessary; - France and the UK’s discussions over deploying troops to Ukraine is likely a bluff. The feasibility of deploying these troops and having any impact on the conflict is negligible and would only weaken the collective West both literally and in terms of perceived political, economic, and military power; - Beyond Ukraine, the US is opening up fronts in Georgia through street violence and a large, renewed US-armed terrorist offensive in Syria’s north; - The US will continue pushing everywhere hoping cracks form because of its inability to defeat Russia in any one single point of conflict; - The restart of US-backed hostilities in Syria is a stark warning to Russia regarding accepting any peace deal from the collective West and their proxies which would only serve as a means of regrouping, rearming, and relaunching hostilities at a later date; - The Syrian conflict, like in Ukraine, is the product of US proxy war stretching over several years and multiple US presidential administrations; References: Syrian Front BBC - Syrian rebels take control of half of Aleppo, observers say (Nov. 30, 2024): https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cly27r5p0yno New Yorker - The Redirection (2007): https://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2007/03/05/the-redirection NYT - U.S. Groups Helped Nurture Arab Uprisings (2011): https://www.nytimes.com/2011/04/15/world/15aid.html NYT - C.I.A.

As an American veteran, serving 4 years, I find your geopolitical views excellent and thoughtful. I want to thank you for all your hard work for peace. I’m so tired of my government supporting jihadist gangs in Syria, to overthrow the Syrian government. We’ve already spent over $6 trillion dollars fighting a ‘war against terror’ which became a ‘war of terror’ against populations in various Moslem lands, Iraq, Afghanistan, Syria and Libya…all creating mass destruction and hundreds of thousands dead, largely civilians…a 20 year war, resulting in vast profits for our military industrial complex and Wall Street…endless wars equals endless profits…Western colonialism still lives on.

Democracy..... democracy..... Hmm. I know I've heard the word before, but I live in the U.S. so I've never actually seen one. Is democracy like the mythological unicorn?
