... the United States' crime. The US is stained forever as a supporter of genocidal Netanyahu regime. It is simple as that. Israel owns the US, precisely because they have to because they are not good militarily.
Can Russia destroy Netanyahu regime? Easily. But George is absolutely correct here--it is simple mathematics, saving 2 million Palestinians may result in killing a couple of billion people outright. As our friend Femi correctly pointed out--Arabs, where are you? Gaza and Palestine are ARAB issue, first and foremost, not Russia's. Anyone calling on Russia "to do something" about it are people who have no clue about the role Russia plays in the world and how corrupted by Zionist the US is. I will remind again that this piece of political art is as relevant as ever, in fact--even more so today than when it was created.
Just substitute Soviet flag with Russian tri-color, and if you don't get the profound message in it, I have news for you--it is ONLY thanks to Russia's military and economic might that Washington's crazies didn't unleash a thermonuclear war. Simple as that.
Recall those wonderful French warriors for the rights of poor Chechens against brutal Russians who wanted, for some reason, wipe out the nest of Wahhabi terrorism in Chechnya? Of course, as long as Russians and other ethnicities in Caucasus, primarily civilians, were slaughtered and taken slaves, enlightened France wasn't bothered. Even after the terrorist acts of Chechen "freedom-fighters" (ISIS are also "freedom-fighters" in the West) at Dubrovka at Nord-Ost Theatre and after satanic slaughetr of innocent children in Beslan, French felt a need to give shelter to those refugees from Chechnya, despite FSB warnings about large percentage of those "refugees" being either potential or established war criminals.
Americans once ignored Russia's warnings (numerous ones) to FBI, CIA or Power-ball Lottery organization, and two Chechen boys (obviously out of a deep love for the United States) created a mayhem in Boston, including killing and maiming innocent bystanders. Now France gets a load of her Chechen diaspora which decided, while dealing with another ethnic mafia, Arab one, to show who is real ruler of France, or soon will be. Dijon looks so peaceful, so laid back nowadays.
France wanted it, she's got it. Even Le Figaro came out with this headline:
You know, a punitive expedition of Chechens. I have a recipe, though, for France on how to handle this situation--in a typical French manner--the whole France must kneel. I am sure Chechens will deal with North-African gangs which really run now whole parts of France much better than cowardly French police and whatever passes there for government. Here is more from Dijon.
I don't think French have much time left to exist as a nation anyway, and so my suggestion will be to remove whatever was not declared haram there yet (some Louvre collections, Napoleon's remains etc.) to a more secure locations primarily in Eastern Europe, closer to Russia, which has a massive experience of saving world's cultural treasures, including whole cities, such as Krakow, destined for destruction. In general, Fifth Republic is a joke and it just proves my point that Russia should erect an Iron Curtain with Europe and allow in only those who demonstrate normal human values. In the end, popular in Russia clarification in ads for rent or real estate sale "for Slavs only", maybe extended to "for Gauls only". France, enjoy and do not forget to kneel--it is precisely the pose in which beheadings are done. Enjoy your "freedom-fighters". Karma is a bitch, isn't it?
There is only one problem, designating US produced "doctrines" by the names of US Presidents with which one or another "doctrine" originated--it is the same as designating rigid and inflexible US military "doctrines" of expeditionary warfare following throwing an ungodly number of stand-off weapons at a victim with different titles ranging from "From The Sea" to "Air Sea Battle" to whatever else. In other words it is "Same Shit-Different Angle". The only noticeable correction of the course in the US doctrinal thinking happened in early 1970s with Nixon's (forced, mind you) Detente with the Soviet Union and with eventual "opening" of China, which, as we all know today, ended up with the greatest transfer of industries from the United States to other country in history. So, discussing US foreign policy "doctrines", especially by ignoring huge political inputs (in favors, dollars, blackmail or exploitation of Christian Zionism of many in US power circles) by such actors as Israel and Saudi Arabia is a fool's errand.
I do not believe that Bacevich doesn't know that. I am positive he does. Yet, as in that process of running in circles, everything ends up with discussing a minutiae of American neocons' flaming insanity and utter military incompetence and trying to pigeonhole it into one or another US geopolitical delusion, which, for some reason, pass for "doctrines" . I looked up biographies of people whose "ideas" Bacevich discusses and concludes that:
Brands, Cook, and Pollack correctly note
that various initiatives undertaken under the aegis of the Carter
Doctrine have ultimately redounded to the benefit of the Islamic
Republic of Iran. But if Iran is a problem, they have a solution. Kick
some ass.
I don't know, last time I checked if any ass kicking was happening it was definitely not by the United States. Among those three stooges who abuse their sinecures in all those rabidly neocon "think-tanks: such as American Enterprise Institute, or CFR, only Pollack has some "intelligence" background as former CIA "analysts" with degree.... and you guessed it--political "science". Pollack is known for his active calls to invade Iraq and even wrote grossly untimely book on Arabs' military effectiveness, or, rather lack thereof. Untimely, because this issue was debated so much in the last 50 years, from Soviet military advisors to all kinds of "Strategic Studies" courses in the Wests, to famous Atkine's primer Why Arabs Lose Wars that, after brief acquaintance with Pollack's 2018 book about Arab military history from 1948 to 1991 one is forced to ask a question--Why? What's the purpose of re-narrating same ol', same ol'? But, my friends, this is the current level of the American or, rather, neocon "Strategic Studies". 1991 is also a cut out date for the last noticeable victory of the US Armed Forces against what was, as usual falsely, touted as the "fourth largest army in the word", implying that it was powerful, while in reality it was a backward, badly led, typical third world military.
Numbers provide a good foundation, albeit by far not all of it, of viewing modern war. In this case, Bacevich fails to disclose the real meaning of the "kicking some ass", Iranian ass that is, since this is the heart of the matter. The issue is not that impossibility of kicking some ass without receiving a lot of it back was discussed, by me included, on a number of occasions. I would love to see ass-kicking plan developed by those three--no secrets--just general idea of this plan, required forces, logistics, general strategy, operational tempos etc. Why not, I am sure these three stooges can provide a fascination expose of utter military strategic and operational ignorance and will cause many laughs along the way. Reason being that these people do not grasp modern warfare beyond experiences of massive salvos of stand-off weapons in Desert Storm at whatever targets Pentagon may identify and then... Yes, about this "then", I am always in a full attention mode waiting for some magical plan to appear explaining how the United States Armed Forces will fight war in Iran. I am all eyes and ears. But even this is beyond the point--don't expect anything which makes sense geopolitically, militarily or economically. Here is an example of this type of people's "expertise", this is from 2016.
So, Bacevich gets it very wrong, especially when he begins with "distinguished members"--distinguished by who or what, against what background or under what circumstances? If American geopolitical collapse and US being exposed as nothing more than a dangerous declining power--a process which is ongoing since 2000s--are reasons to tout human stupidity and lack of any serious background in achieving any kind of tangible "success" in anything are the reasons to be "distinguished", then--sure. Modern American political and pseudo-intellectual elite, as I stated many times, is staggering in its incompetence matched only by its arrogance--a first sign of lacking serious intellect. The aggressiveness of types like Pollack is dictated by anything but serving true American national interests and by suppressing a horrendous complex of inferiority because they know deep inside that they are losers who have nothing to show for their pseudo "academic" backgrounds and activity which is based around thinking up all kinds of military strategic nonsense. But, sadly, Bacevich doesn't write about this. Even Le Monde--a globalist French rag begins to suspect that:
Western in general, and American in particular, current "elites" are totally inadequate intellectually, academically, humanly and professionally to challenges which their societies face and it is them who, being products of a dysfunctional system, exacerbate already a violent process of a departure of the Western liberalism from the world stage. Having some "distinguished" swamp creatures suggesting to "kick some ass" at this time should be viewed as a distinguished idiocy, not as a valid matter to discuss--unless, of course, we are talking about orderlies in psychiatric ward, where modern American neocons belong wholesale, I mean those who will avoid standing War Crimes Tribunal.
