Israeli media are apparently reporting that the Anglo-Zionist Empire has greenlit Netanyahu’s much longed for apocalyptic war to eliminate all non-Zionists in the Middle East.
Israel is gonna get itself nuked. If y'all don't think Iran has them yet you don't know Iranians. Fantastic engineers and scientists unlike most in region. Iran can destroy Israel and all US bases in region with conventional missiles alone but has nukes as backup. US and Israel will be humiliated or WW3.
The answer to the titular question is revealed early on (and I know that you know this, your rhetoric is great Mark, and sorely needed in this very tense time) . . . according to "information we received from the Israeli delegation". It's the same kind of "information" that Ukraine reported when ratbastard Elenskyy had a phone call from Starmer and promptly announced that UK has approved strikes deep into Russia. The newly anointed PM disavowed this in his already familiar mealy-mouthed way.
The whole point of the mass brown-nosing ceremony was to bless Israel's next steps, no discussion, and certainly no consent, needed. Israeli proxies burned US flags nearby and vandalised the precinct to help rub in the message that resistance is anti-Semitic and it is utterly clear who holds the reins. Publicly shaming a once great nation for the whole world to see.
It is of some comfort to reflect that the whole thing will crash and burn anyway. But at the cost of enormous suffering.
I wonder if there are any reports on the activity, numbers and forward deployment of Western aircraft in the region. Seems unlikely that Israel will go it alone.
If the “they” get this war started before Trump gets in, then he’s stuck with it. That’s their thinking. They know they are racing against the clock here.
Never in my life did I think I would live to see the U.S. president hiding in his basement while the leader of Israel speaks before the representatives of the American people to declare war. Surreal. And my dad was right all those years ago, “ those damn Jews are gonna wind up getting us all killed.”
With each passing day this situation becomes more and more volatile and we still have no frickin idea who the hell is in charge of the country! Oh, and for the record, if that joke of a national address was designed to put everyone’s fears to rest about Zhou’s abilities to deal with this kind of multi sided and constantly morphing situation, it totally and completely sucked!!!!! Do these people really imagine that after watching that disaster anyone, anywhere was thinking, “Damn, I’m so glad we got Kamala on the sidelines ready to take control of the situation.”
If these morons keep flailing around like this until Inauguration Day, the only thing left for DJT to be POTUS of will be the rubble that remains.
Probably time for Captain Obvious to pay them a visit and remind them that their chosen path forward only has 4 outcomes: shit, deep shit, really deep shit and oooh shiiit.
It’s still hard for me to believe that this is what the country has come to in such a short period of time.
Russian President Vladimir Putin met with Syrian President Bashar al-Assad on Wednesday in Moscow to mark the anniversary of diplomatic relations between Moscow and Damascus. The meeting comes at a time when Russia is positioning itself as a mediator in a potential rapprochement between Syria and Turkey.
Putin spoke of the tense situation in the Middle East and the risk of escalation in the ongoing conflict in that region. “Unfortunately, there is a tendency toward escalation, we can see that,” Putin remarked before adding, “This also applies directly to Syria.”
“Considering all the events that are taking place in the world as a whole and in the Eurasian region today, our meeting today seems very important to discuss all the details of the development of these events, to discuss possible prospects and scenarios,” Assad told Putin.
A pragmatist and realist who plans and takes actions to serve the interests of his country as best he can. How novel! And to think Trump has the audacity to want to be the same way! No wonder the global leaders hate them both! /s
A few years ago we started hearing about something called the "Uniparty." It is just becoming evident now how much the Uniparty's actions are based on feasance to Israel.
Looks like Trump is trying to finesse this and become the peace candidate:
Former US President Donald Trump has urged Israel to bring about a “fast” end to its war with Hamas, arguing that a drawn-out conflict is a “public relations” nightmare for the Jewish state.
Speaking to Fox News on Thursday, Trump said the war should end quickly “because they are getting decimated with this publicity, and you know Israel is not very good at public relations.”
Trump does not want to miss out on the biggest, best, and smartest peace deal ever (the one that China just had with 14 rival factions within Palestine). They even created a provisional national reconciliation government. The two state solution is moving forward (without the Anglo-Zionist-American participation).
Good as far as it goes, but where Ukraine is concerned, the key figure in any negotiations will be Putin. And he has been badly burned by previous Western lies.
Here's how he talked about the Syrian deal that his office facilitated. "“It’s really a great day for civilization,” Trump said. He insisted that because of his intervention, “millions of lives will be saved"...“What Turkey is getting now is they’re not going to have to kill millions of people, and millions of people aren’t going to have to kill them.”
There's no way he wants to miss out on what's happening in Palestine.
Couldn't agree more with Galtsky's first comment. I know a number of us (including Mark) have commented from early on that Russia would have to "neuter" Ukraine (by whatever means necessary) so that it could not pose a continuing military threat to Russia. I've always maintained that Putin meant what he said about "de-Nazification" and de-militarization. Why would that have changed? That has always implied control of access to the Black Sea (Odessa) and Ukraine as a rump state without aspirations of being in NATO. That is, IMHO, where we are headed whether Europe and the Neocons like it or not.
1) I think that what this war finally cemented into Russian leadership's consciousness is: Who runs US foreign policy. I suspect that Putin's supposed naivete in the past was probably mostly due to uncertainty. The hoped for possibility that a new US leader might take policy out of the hands of the Neocons.
2) His observations re Russian education are absolutely correct. There are a few other countries in a similar position, but none have the mass that Russia has.
3) He's also absolutely correct about Russia's way of war in Ukraine. A breaking point is coming.
I couldn't stand watching for more than 5-10 minutes. I couldn't take the avalanche of lies coming out of Netanyahu's mouth. As for Congress, trained seals are more fun to watch - and they don't participate in evil.
If the claim that 135 Reps and some senators boycotted, there my actually be good news here. This then would not be the ringing endorsement or mandate for war with Iran (by the US) that N. wanted. The absence of KS, the failure to meet with anyone in the OO, Trump's backhanded reception (holding back on publishing the letter from Abbas until the day before N. came to MAL), suggest a political establishment that is at the least divided.
Those 135 reps and a few senators are Dems. The stupid party led by a Christian Zionists are the clapping seals. Again, the republicans take the wrong side, they side with evil while the real evil on the left smiles and gloat they are on the right side of history.

Oh they’re there. Not just us either.

Don’t make a liar out of Zhou now.

We know who isn’t in charge though.
Tony Blinken, Jake Sullivan and Jeff Zients?
"Who are the three stooges?"

Wow, Putin sounds sane. No wonder he stands out among our global "leaders".
A pragmatist and realist who plans and takes actions to serve the interests of his country as best he can. How novel! And to think Trump has the audacity to want to be the same way! No wonder the global leaders hate them both! /s
US being played for a ventriloquist's dummy.
My take: Don't murder your neighbors.
"More than 135 congressional Democrats, Rep. Thomas Massie (R-Ky.), and U.S. Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) boycotted Netanyahu’s speech."
That said, 3/4 of Congress showed up and gave the mass murderer repeated standing ovations. All the Rs except Massie and 1/2 of the Ds.
That's pretty amazing considering the power of AIPAC. BTW, I wonder how many 5 foot 1 inch female SS bodyguards Netanyahu got?
No, it means you are informed and a decent human being that is sane and compassionate.

Nope.

Classic! Zios should take heed. They won't.
“Israel is not very good at public relations” Trumpian understatement of the year…
I'll file that with "Biden is not very good with stairs"
"Trumpian understatement of the year…"
Trumpian doublespeak.
For decades, Israel was the undisputed master.
Not especially skilled, just very quick to retaliate if their narrative was undermined.
Narrative control is mind control.
The times they are a-changing? We can only hope.
Trump reminds me of the old saying, “you can catch flies better with honey than with vinegar.”

Mike Whitney has a great write-up, https://www.unz.com/mwhitney/china-brings-peace-to-the-middle-east-while-washington-bombs-and-terrorizes/
and then there’s this from Breitbart:
https://www.breitbart.com/asia/2024/07/24/the-trump-effect-ukraine-says-willing-and-ready-dialogue-russia/
Good as far as it goes, but where Ukraine is concerned, the key figure in any negotiations will be Putin. And he has been badly burned by previous Western lies.
Yup
Imagine, the US and China competing over peace deals!
The US and NATO are getting sidelined.
Here's how he talked about the Syrian deal that his office facilitated. "“It’s really a great day for civilization,” Trump said. He insisted that because of his intervention, “millions of lives will be saved"...“What Turkey is getting now is they’re not going to have to kill millions of people, and millions of people aren’t going to have to kill them.”
There's no way he wants to miss out on what's happening in Palestine.

I think you're right.

Didn't he meet with "Biden" earlier today? I had read that KS was to have a private meeting?
Well said. I am shocked by Congress's active enthusiasm and blind support for that madman.
