The
Fool(s) On the Hill
What Are
Your Plans If A War Breaks Out Between NATO And Russian Forces In
Syria?
(Sheep
Being Led By Donkeys)
You
hadn't thought about it or its consequences for you and your family? Well you'd better. We may be closer to this than you imagine –
and all by deliberate intent.
There is
hardly a world leader who has had military experience – or even
served in a war zone in any meaningful capacity – yet all such
greenhorn career business politicians are now making decisions which could
bring us all closer to a world war than you might ever have imagined.
Let's
Bomb Syria! (and Reclaim 'Mojo')
Premier
Cameron is just the latest in a long line of such politicians who
believe that they can undermine the only existing legitimate Syrian
government (of President Bashar al-Assad, in case this information
was lost in translation) under the aegis of a U.N. mandate, without
the approval of the Syrian government – and all the mainstream
media in Western Europe and in the United States, are going along for
the ride.
There are
indeed security dangers to the vital interests of the United States –
but they are not the ones your mainstream media are flagging up.
Oh! What A Lovely War
(As Long As Someone Else Does the Fighting and the Dying)
This is a
war where your media has been asked not to ask too many awkward questions
about – just let the politicians 'have their war' and accept 'feed
briefings' from the Department of Defense media relations Officers.
Many senior Congressional legislators are not even taking (nor seeking) the advice offered by experienced senior
military commanders, analysts and advisors (yes, some retired) who are privately (and some
publicly) warning of the very real dangers of escalation to a
conventional war between the superpowers – all to no avail - as the politicians are determined to have their regime changes in
the Arab world, come what may, at whatever cost, and only listen to
those views which support their myopic war strategy. Most have little
to no knowledge of Islam, the Arab world, its history, culture, peoples
and even fewer have ever traveled in Muslim lands other than to stay in an 'armed fortress', hotel or palace of a ruling dignitary or for a conference.
They Actually Fired Back (!)
When
British Tornado jets, Eurofighter Typhoon and F-22s or indeed even,
for the first publicly declared time in a conflict zone, F-26s
[Stavatti Tactical Air Warfare Systems] are being shot at (or shot
down) over Syria (or indeed, is targeted destroyed or
shot down over the 'neutral' territory it 'accidentally' 'locked in'
Syrian government armed forces then despatched its payload) there will be a public outcry and Russia will be
issued with an 'ultimatum' to withdraw its combat and technical
support forces and equipment (effectively leaving the Assad
government defenseless against Daesh) with promises to 'protect' the
civilians (with a coalition of Jordanian, Egyptian and Turkish and
Gulf -including Saudi – 'peacekeeping' forces) and that all Syrian
personnel who 'surrender' to the West-backed 'moderate' forces
(Daesh/Al-Qaeda/Al Nusra and other extremist Islamists) will be
spared; what are your plans when
Russia calls the bluff and refuses to 'surrender' to a NATO
'ultimatum' against 'Russian aggression' in Syria?
Reality
Check
You had
not thought that it might ever affect your life in your home village
in Europe, that it would never affect your children, that the cities
and towns you live in Western Europe would never become the target
for cruise missiles should a crisis, which politicians, failing to
listen to military and experienced advisors, have dug themselves into
and one which then escalates through a so-called 'miscalculation'?
If you
have never given any real thought to Syria and see it as some distant
land which will never affect you personally in your city, town or
village in Western Europe, then think again.
This is
what happens when sheep are led by wolves – or by donkeys.
In a
normal world I would be considered delusional.
Everyone
around me is (or appears) oblivious to the machinations being created
on a chessboard called Syria.
The
Daily Mirage
Mainstream
media has created the impression that you are assured, with
conviction, that Russia will back down over Syria – besides Russia
is the 'aggressor' in Syria (even though it the only foreign country
in Syria to fight Daesh/ISIL/Al Qaeda by express invitation of the
Syrian government – all other countries are operating there against
the wishes of the Syrian government – with the ultimate goal of
overthrowing the Syrian government.)
Who
invited the British, The French and the Germans to undertake bombing
missions in Syria? It certainly was not the only (yes only)
legitimate Syrian government engaged in a war against global
terrorists on its own territory with such terrorists (Al Qaeda/Daesh)
aided and assisted by a NATO member (Turkey) and other Sunni
countries in proximity.
Is
Syria That 'Bridge Too Far'?
From it's
Caspian Sea fleet Russia has demonstrated that it will use its cruise
missiles in this conflict arena. If we had really intelligent
politicians they should not have failed to miss the significance of
this – and the dangers such pose for all sides if this conflict
escalates – which it already has.
Is
History About To Justify Itself?
Will that
colorful 45-minute warning Premier Blair provided as reason for the
Iraq campaign this time be turned into a physical reality - should
Western politicians 'push their luck' too far against Russia in
Syria?
The harsh
reality will sink in when the first U.K./NATO/Turkish fighter plane
is brought down within Syrian territorial airspace by Syrian-Russian
air defenses – and a howl of political and media protests call for
Russia to withdraw support for the secular government of President
Assad – to be followed first with economic sanctions against Russia
(and the BRICS Block – should they move to support Russia) followed
by a further military build up in the Eastern Mediterranean.
Nobody
will ask the pertinent questions:
Why did
we commit air power into a boiling molten cauldron we could not have failed to
notice could only explode?
Whence
The Threat To Peace?
The irony
of it all is that, other than being an implaccable enemy of Israel,
Syria is not vital to U.S. interests.
It was
not even a threat to Israeli interests and, until Daesh/ISIL fighters
showed up for treatment in Israeli hospitals across the Golan
heights, the area was not a threat to global peace nor international
terrorism.
Only in
recent months has the U.S.-Israel lobby started speaking out, quite
reluctantly, against ISIL-Daesh.
The
reason for this is a misperception that Daesh was doing Israel's work
- in destroying Syria, Iraq, Libya and other enemies.
The
further strategy is to unhinge Syria from it's 'axis' with Hezbollah
and Iran – but this will destabilize Lebanon – and effectively
plunge it into a bloodbath as the Maronite Christians plot (or are
encouraged with promises of Turkish support) to take on Hezbollah.
Iran, seeing the dangers, would then no doubt encourage even more
volunteers than already present to conjoin the Holy War against the
Sunnis, the Salafists and Wahhabists all operating under different
banners and guises, in Iraq, Syria and Lebanon before it too finds
itself isolated in the region.
'The
Great Game'
The
question of whether all this chaos and bloodshed is really necessary
to fulfill economic and strategic objectives of the United States in
the region and globally (fragmentation -divide and rule- of the BRICS
block) is one best left for future historians.
Certainly
what we can say at present is that there are absolutely no morals nor
ethics and that the United Nations is, in effect, a paper tiger, no
longer relevant in today's world.
There are
many nations which will laud its demise.
Only when
the laws of the jungle are applied, with vengeance, by adversaries,
against their own populations, will they rue the day the United
Nations became a redundant, powerless or spent entity.
Bringing
Democracy To Iraq and Syria - With Global Extremist Jihadi Battalions
Before
Syria was plunged into its present chaos, it was no doubt a tyranny –
but so too are most of the Arab States in the region. Islam and
democracy do not sit well in the quasi- tribal-religious and
mediaeval environments of the Middle East and North Africa.
Is such
chaos, regime change in favor of religious extremists (as opposed to
the pre-existing secular dictatorships) absolutely essential to
guarantee control of strategic resources and economic regional power?
Is the
installation of religious tyrannies absolutely essential to guarantee
a new Sykes Picot reconfiguration to ensure the 'Arab masses' remain
disenfranchised and ruled by tyrants, religious extremists supported
by Saudi Arabia and Turkey or benevolent despots, on our behalf, for
yet another hundred years?
My answer
to both questions would be that they are unnecessary. But the
politicians, eminent Western academics, specialists, experts and your
mainstream media are all, in unison, telling you otherwise.
Indeed in
the British House of Commons by voting to bomb a country which has
never blitzed the U.K., sent terrorists to bomb its people nor
carried out any hostile acts on its territories, the phrase Britain
has regained it's 'mojo' in the world, was the exhilarated drumbeat
echoed by one old Etonian schoolboy, oblivious to the true horrors of
war, first hand. The phrase, when fully interpreted in the syntax
of a sentence reads as 'Oh goodie!; we're going to war!'
(I leave
out the military from having an opinion in this debate since in our
Western secular democracies, as opposed to the dictatorships and
religious extremist fanatics we are attempting to impose on others,
the armed forces simply do as they are told and carry out orders by
or on behalf of, the politicians. (And Western politicians will
only tell their military commanders, after the fact, that they
should never have carried out political orders or they should have
questioned anything they knew or thought they knew were or was
illegal or unlawful before committing, what they are now told (after
the facts) is or are 'war crimes'.)
Formal
Declaration Of War
The
Presidential Office in the United States compared to The Role Of The
British Premier's Office
In
Britain unlike in the United States, the Premier is not the
Commander-In-Chief of the British Armed Forces but a political
legislator. In the United States a formal resolution - Authorization
For The Use of Military Force – AUMF – is drafted for
Congressional approval by the Commander-In-Chief, the President of
The United States.
Under
Executive Authority however, the President, as Commander-In-Chief,
can, himself or herself, declare war, but without congressional
constitutional authority, such a declaration lacks legitimate
sanction by the whole country.
It should
be recalled that this AUMF against Daesh/ISIL/ISIS, drafted by
President Obama and debated in March/April 2014, was not approved by
the U.S. Congress. )
Epilog
Has your
mainstream media and the political class told you that the building of Churches in 'moderate'
Saudi Arabia is illegal and most Saudi Imams approve the death
penalty for convicted offenders? (as apostates.) The public preaching
of Christianity and conversion from Islam to Christianity are illegal
in both Turkey and Saudi Arabia. In Saudi Arabia, the death penalty
is recommended for such 'witches' or 'apostates'.
Such are
the 'moderate' countries our Christian U.S. and Western politicians support in their bid to re-shape the Middle East and North
Africa.
This is why I come back
to where I started:
Either I am a
delusional and a misguided idiot - or the whole world is going mad –
sheep being led by donkeys – or by wolves - the fools on the hill.
