Reports:
U.S.
To Deploy Special Forces Into Syria
On
Whose Authority?
Ignoring
the legitimate government of Syria, ignoring the United Nations,
and
under the cover of 'peace negotiations' in Vienna, America has
embarked on a strategy of supporting 'terrorists' which could have
profound implications for its perception and for the rule of
international law for many decades to come.
In
actual fact, we might as well tear up all international agreements
with regard to the United Nations as it now has no legitimacy in
international peacekeeping nor as a forum for the consent of nations
as established in the post-Second World War era.
Humiliation
Apart
from anything else, because such a force lacks all legitimacy –
other than an agenda to overthrow the government of Syria - America is
going down a very dangerous road it probably, out of hubris (see my
earlier blogs) has not thought through the full extent of the
ramifications.
Should
such 'mercenaries' (Special Operations Personnel) be captured and,
operating without the consent of the government in Damascus, despite
the false presentation and (justification) by CNN as a 'legitimate'
operation. God forbid such mercenaries are 'captured' then 'sold on'
to another 'terrorist' group (a very common practice during warfare
through the centuries in this part of the world) their status and
fate will only be determined by the extent of ransom the U.S.
government will be prepared to pay to 'release' each captured
individual, alive.
[Qualification: The assumption here is that Special Forces Personnel would not be captured by ISIL/Daesh and 'bartered' between terrorist groups so that one would attempt to secure ransom rather than the U.S. government see one of its Personnel handed over to ISIL.
In summary placing 30 even 50 even 200 Special Forces into such a chaotic environment, having been advance publicly declared, without appropriate support, is akin to a suicide mission, in my opinion.]

America
is digging itself into a deeper and deeper hole in a region where
already too much chaos, death, bloodshed and misery has touched the
lives of both civilians and combatants.
Let
me tell you exactly what these Special Operations Teams have
(probably) already been told by their commanding officers: I
paraphrase the (likely) scenario:
''In
the event of your capture, beyond attempted rescue and extraction, the U.S.
government will not negotiate for your release.''
So
these highly trained specialists are, in effect, being used
kamikaze-like as (expendable) assets, more akin to an unpatriotic act
on behalf of the government they swore to serve than to the expected
role of honor for a just and righteous cause.
'Only
Following Orders'
Before
You Blame The U.S. Military, Look To See Who Really Benefits From
Their Deployment Into Syria
Being
shamelessly
used as 'political fodder' to satisfy (mainly Republican Party)
extremists who regard, with contempt, anything and everything
in the employ of the Federal government of the United States and
it's armed forces, is a dishonor not just to the armed forces of the
United States but also to its international allies, who may well also
be ordered into mission-supportive roles.
We
are reaching the point where someone has to call out these U.S.
politicians and their supporters, from the ranks of the Republican
Party and those from corporate America, who would put American
military lives at risk without legitimate authority - and I would not
call Republican Party overt nor covert support for such insurgents –
clones of the very individuals who caused 9/11 - 'legitimate'
authority - for what they really are, which, at the very least,
would be called 'misguided'.
CNN
and FOX Networks Both Now Openly Support The Perpetrators of 9/11
Under The Guise of Syrian 'Moderates'
CNN
is a national disgrace – and anyone who has any common sense can
see this.
It
is now propping up support through its networks in the U.S. and
worldwide for Islamic fanatics, under the guise of 'Syrian moderates'
which, I told you two years ago here, did not exist.
Far
worse, these 'moderate' Syrian opposition forces the U.S. now openly
backs are the most evil groups to emerge from the hell which American
decoherent foreign policy, having been hijacked by religious
fanatics and extremists in the United States, has created over the
past two decades.
The
United States government is now openly in support of Islamic fanatics
linked to Al Qaeda and ISIL. Even if they are not directly, almost
without exception, they are individuals whose Salafist and Wahhabist
agendas praise and glorify the perpetrators of 9/11 and Osama Bin
Laden.
How
Could American Foreign Policy Sink To Such Low Depths?; Future
Historians May Well Ask
With
regard to the non-existent 'moderate' rebels in Syria, the murder and
rape of children, of babies, of women and men is now totally
permissible by these Republicans in the American Congress and their
supporters in civil and corporate American society - as long as it
ultimately leads to the overthrowing of President Assad. Anyone, even
the devil itself, is regarded as an ally, provided it is prepared to
work with the United States for the overthrowing of the Syrian
President.
I
never was a fan of Assad and in my wildest dreams I could never have
seen myself saying a good word in his defense. But if you ask me to
choose between Gadhafi, Saddam Hussein and Bashar al-Assad – none
of whom ever committed any act of terrorism on the mainland of the
United States and all of whom opposed Al Qaeda and their heinous
affiliates, had nothing to do with 9/11, I will evocate support of the
legitimate Syrian government any day of the year rather than
with an evil entity which was directly responsible for 9/11 but has
been given a 'free pass' to wreak havoc and reshape the Middle East
into its own tyrannical image and liking – all in the interests of
Mammon.
.
Emerging
New World Orders (BRICS)
I
do not believe that the United States administration as yet realises
the full international extent of the ramifications of its decision to
deploy special forces with no legitimacy (other than that, perhaps, of the
American Congress or Presidential executive action) outside the 'bubble world' of Western Christendom
(including Australia and New Zealand) and NATO.
Let
me give you just one example of a likely ramification of such rule of
'jungle' law in the case of Africa: America ceases to have any
legitimate relevance to all but its 'client' countries in Africa –
and will become increasing reliant on tyrannies, intellectual and
primitive pygmies, as those countries which should have been its
strongest allies on the continent – such as South Africa –
gravitate even further into a new economic, political and military
structure which denies access to America, at all levels, as an
influential leader on the continent. This is an inevitable outcome
as it (the United States) relies more and more on the 'law of the
jungle' for legitimacy to determine foreign policy and in the conduct
of military operations abroad.
Secondly,
such extremists (again mainly from within Republican Party circles)
have always held the United Nations in contempt and have now decided
to use their influence to simply bypass it in favor of direct
(unlawful by all international laws the world subscribes to)
military action in a part of the world where the danger of global
conflagration lurks around every political, religious and tribal imbalance
created.
The
message such U.S doctrine and policy sends to emerging nations
yearning leadership and power is that might is right, to hell with
international laws and diplomacy (where diplomacy is now simply a
cover for illegal acts of war not sanctioned by any international
authority.)
''Rome
Was Not Built In A Day''
(Neither
Did the Empire Collapse Overnight)
The
Unthinkable May Also Be Much Nearer At Hand Than I Had Ever Imagined
When
and where the United States fails to provide leadership and uphold
the frameworks of international law and diplomacy, for sure, some
other superpower will move in to fill the vacuum.
Let
me explain to you what I mean.
Many
decades
ago I said, rather jokingly to the number 2 or number 3 at the Chinese
Embassy that perhaps, one day, the United Nations and
other international bodies, might 'decamp' from New York and Geneva to
China – but I
reckoned it would not be for about a thousand or more years – at a
future time when China was more 'open' to the world such as is the
United States today. (I was very careful and polite not to use the
word 'democracy' in my predictive analysis.)
As
America squanders its leadership and exceptional destiny in favor of
ignorant, bigoted and short-sighted corporate agendas - all developed
by individuals who appear oblivious to the fact that the rest of the
world can see through their real motives as one can see through clear
glass - another nation or superpower, for sure, will step up, and
step in, to fill this void.
It
will be a genuine tragedy for the world because no nation has been
better endowed in the past two thousand years to provide global
leadership, than has, through quirks of history, the United States.
Sadly,
this is the direction in which events are being inexorably moved.
More
and more, there are to be found remarkable parallels between the fall
of the Roman Empire and American policy at home and abroad.
The
greatest tragedy, in my opinion, is that the ordinary folk are
oblivious to the 'Fall of Rome' and will only realise what is
happening as the barbarians and 'contractors', with the aid of
collaborators and traitors, ransack and pillage the 'Eternal City' -
in favor of their own very narrow agendas.
