How Israel Is Dragging Its American Proxy Down

Doug Macgregor and Judge Nap had an excellent discussion today. As usual, the title doesn’t really give much of an idea of the actual scope of what was discussed:

Col. Douglas Macgregor: Escalation at Israel’s Borders

Among other matters that were discussed, Macgregor went into quite a bit of detail regarding a matter that we’ve raised here repeatedly—the strategic significance of the International North South Transport Corridor. Go to the video for the full discussion, but for our purposes here’s a map:

The discussion begins with Judge Nap asking about the incident over the weekend in which Israeli forces killed one or more Egyptian military personnel. From there it’s off to the races. What follows are excerpts and summaries of what I thought were the highlights. The overall theme is that Zionist control over America is isolating America from the rest of the world, reducing US influence and destroying our moral standing. The US is now viewed in tandem with its master as a rogue state.

The Judge: “Over the weekend either one or four Egyptian officers were killed by the IDF at the Israeli Egyptian border. What is the significance of this violence?”

[Summary] To understand this, you have to recognize both Egypt's regional importance as a leading Arab and Muslim country, as well as Egypt's very precarious economic and social condition. The US is showing no concern for either, no concern for the pressure these events put on General Sisi, given that the Egyptian population is very upset over Sisi's failure to stand up to the Israel and its US proxy. The US is giving Sisi no help at all, and that makes Sisi appear complicit in the Israeli/US genocide.

"At the same time that this is happening on the ground you have something of enormous strategic importance that is receiving remarkably little attention in the mainstream media and I think we can all guess why that's the case. This is the Arab - Chinese Summit in Beijing, where you have General Sisi from Egypt and his delegation along with the Crown Prince of Saudi Arabia and his delegation, United Arab Emirates--they are all gathered in Beijing to talk to the Chinese and the subjects for discussion are not just what's happening in Gaza but the way forward. There's a growing consensus among the Arabs in the region that two things need to happen. One is that the United States and its influence in the region needs to be stopped, because the United States is seen as the power that underwrites the rogue state of Israel. From the Arab standpoint United States influence must be curtailed and, if not completely expelled from the region then certainly reduced to the point of almost complete irrelevance. Keep in mind that you've had Blinken and Sullivan and Burns running back and forth between the region and Washington, trying to smooth things over and hold some semblance of American influence together. Right now I think we can argue pretty convincingly that our influence is almost nil. At this conference they're going to look at a number of things, one of which is the criticality of trade and commerce between the region and China."

[Summary] A map showing the North South Trade Corridor, running from India through Iran and up to Russia is displayed. Macgregor explains that this trade corridor benefits every single nation along its path that wants to trade with China and India, Russia and Iran. That means the entire Middle East, but it also means that this corridor could eventually extend into Europe, if Europe can get out from under the Anglo-Zionist heel.

"You can't see what's happening today in the Middle East in isolation from what's going on in Europe. Understand that Germany, once the scientific industrial giant of Europe, is on its knees in economic and scientific industrial terms. Germany is in ruins, its population is on the long road to poverty and despair because cheap energy is no longer available to Germany. ... The Germans, like the French and others, want to trade with China and this [trade corridor] is another alternative to what the United States wants--which is to obstruct trade with China, obstruct trade with Russia, and to foment discontent and misery and despair. So strategically what's happening in Egypt is very very bad because if Sisi is the man that I think he is, he's sitting there in Beijing, talking to Mr Xi, the president of China, and says, 'Well, Mr Xi you know we're in trouble. Egypt is in crisis. We could well be at war in the near future with Israel. Can you help us? Would you help us, will you invest in us, can you be an alternative to the support that we've had from time to time’--about three billion dollars a year from the United States? And I think the answer he's going to get from Mr Xi is, Yes. And I think that the Saudis--who are now talking about investing in that Iranian Port [Chabahar] along with India, which is nothing short of a monumental strategic game changer in the region--are on board with General Sisi, as is or as will be the United Arab Emirates. So what's happening in the region today is much more important than just four Egyptian soldiers being killed or wounded by the Israelis. What's really dying at the moment in the Middle East is any semblance of our strategic power and influence. We are now entirely isolated with Israel, in the same rowboat with Israel in this ocean of hostility and hatred. No one trusts us. No one believes us and everyone wants to do business in spite of us."

[Summary] Discussion about various US vassal states agreeing to arrest Netanyahu or also recognizing Palestinian statehood.

"This is not just about Israel. This is a signal to the United States. [These nations are saying]: 'We're prepared to move on without you."

"The only state that signs on for unconditional, unquestioned, support of whatever Israel wants to do at this point is, of course, Washington. What people on the Hill don't understand is that the rest of the world thinks differently about its interests now. Germany, as well as the rest of the populations in the Middle East, the Germans are moving inch by inch, intellectually, mentally, and strategically in the direction of Russia. We are going to see a definitive break between the United States and Berlin in the months ahead because that's the only way Germany can recover economically and hold its society and population together. What happens in the Middle East is inextricably intertwined with that German need. Germany has historically had good relations in terms of trade and commerce not only with Russia but also with Iran as well as Turkey. The Turks are having to choose sides as well.

The Judge: “I'm fascinated with what you said about Germany. I guess that would mean Germany would leave NATO, and I guess Germany recognizes that the United States destroyed the Nordstream pipeline and brought misery for two winters without adequate heating fuel. Is it likely that Moscow will extend the trade corridor westward into Germany?”

"Yes. Absolutely.”

[Summary] Discussion of pressure on Europe, despite its current warlike rhetoric.

"We have to separate rhetoric from reality. You can sit in London or Oslo and say things that make absolutely no strategic sense at all. You can do that almost with impunity. You can do it in Washington. But when you're sitting on the border with Russia, if you're close as they are in Berlin or Warsaw or Budapest, you can't really do that without risking the very high probability that they're going to call your bluff. And that's all we can do is bluff."
