U.S. blocks peace in Gaza

Called to meet exceptionally this Friday by Antonio Guterres, the UN Security Council has once again failed to call for a ceasefire in Gaza, because of the american veto.

Robert A. Wood, deputy American ambassador, during the Security Council vote on a « immediate cease-fire » in Gaza, at the UN headquarters, in New York, on, on 8 december 2023.

The United States alone is therefore blocking the peace process and severely limiting the UN's effectiveness.

For the past 60 days, U.S. President Joe Biden has offered his complete support for Israel as it fights Hamas inside the Gaza Strip. He sent two aircraft carriers and became the first U.S. president in history to visit Israel during an active conflict. He is also promoting a huge aid package for Israel in Congress.

Despite all this, it will be no surprise if Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu starts attacking Biden in the next few weeks. Netanyahu's mouthpieces in the Israeli media have already started. They're portraying the president who has done so much for Israel in the past two months as some kind of enemy. This would not be happening without the approval and encouragement of influential people in Netanyahu's orbit.

Netanyahu believes Biden is weeks away from calling for the war to end. Israel will soon conquer all the neighborhoods of Gaza City, and the military is already operating in the southern part of the coastal enclave, breaking through Hamas resistance in Khan Yunis. The only areas of Gaza that Israel hasn't entered yet are in the southwest, where numerous civilians are living in crowded refugee camps after fleeing their homes.

We're getting close to the point where Biden will be able to tell Netanyahu: I gave you full backing for weeks, despite strong opposition from within my own party and constant complaints from close allies. You've reached almost every corner of the Gaza Strip. Now it's time to pull out most of the soldiers, rebuild the Israeli communities on the Gaza border, and start planning the future so that something like October 7 can never happen again.

For Netanyahu, all of the above is a huge problem. He wants this war to go on forever – or at least until the November 2024 U.S. presidential election. The day the war is over, Israel will be swept by a wave of protests the likes of which the country has never seen before. His governing coalition could crumble.

When Biden finally decides to say "cease-fire," probably in a few weeks, Netanyahu will turn on him without any hesitation, completely ignoring everything the president had done for him since October 7. Without Biden's support, Israel would now be fighting a survival war on two or three fronts, while facing an economic collapse and the displacement of hundreds of thousands of citizens.

For Netanyahu, though, the most important battle is the personal one. His own personal survival is at stake here. The only question for Biden, then, is at what point in 2024 he wants to have a fight with Netanyahu – January or later in the year, closer to the election? This question will determine his approach as the military completes its operation in Gaza.

Then Dark Brandon will recite a very particular speech from a well known Scorsese movie - "Get this through your head, you Jew motherfucker, you! You only exist out here because of me! That's the only reason! Without me, you, personally - every fucking wiseguy skell around will take a piece of your fucking Jew ass! Then where you gonna go? You're fucking warned! Don't ever go over my fucking head again, you motherfucker, you!"

The U.N. is the satellite in fact. ^^

IsraHell is a war conspiracy state to fuel systemic war and maintain the Zionist/American economy, itself fueled by hatred via the social engineering tool that religions represent. The more genocide there is in Gaza, the more the hate operation is sown and crowned with success, the more children die the more U.S. empire is alive, that's essence of U.S. war empire dynamics.

For Ukraine that's the same evil principle but it will be certainly reversed, Ukro and Russian are the same Slavic people more powerful than all religions combined. Like a conspiracy mirror that will finally reflect the build of peaceful NovaRussia hand in hand with the next NovaEuropa and all the whole world will follow the new golden age empire of peace and freedom.

Russia readies for a brave new world​

The ceremony marking presentation of Gold Star medals to Heroes of Russia, St George Hall, Kremlin, Moscow, December 8, 2023
The announcement on Friday by Russian President Vladimir Putin that he will seek reelection for a fifth term in office came as no surprise. That he chose the occasion of a Kremlin ceremony conferring the Hero of Russia medals to servicemen who had taken part in Russia’s military operation against Ukraine to make the announcement is striking.

Putin was found responding to an exhortation by the Hero of the Donetsk People’s Republic Artyom Zhoga, commander of the famous Sparta Battalion (who succeeded his son Vladimir, who died at the age of 28 in 2022 and was posthumously awarded the title “Hero of Russia”) that the entire Donbass would like him to participate in the election. There is no question that Col. Zhoga voiced a collective wish of the Russian people.

The Ukraine war has turned out to be a defining event in Putin’s political life. There was some misjudgement initially when the special military operation commenced in late February 2022 that it would be a short-lived affair and President Vladimir Zelensky would take up the Russian offer to negotiate. But where Moscow went horribly wrong was that the US wouldn’t get into a proxy war with them with such gusto and manipulate Zelensky from seeking peace. (See an excellent account, in English, of the US’ sabotage of the Istanbul Agreement, titled Peace for Ukraine authored by a distinguished German troika of a diplomat, a historian and a general.)

Indeed, Putin eventually steered the tentative special military operation out of the woods by making a tactical withdrawal of troops in the northern sectors, allowing a large mobilisation of troops to pursue a war of attrition and ordering an effective multilevel fortification of the frontline. In retrospect, his military decisions turned the tide of war and Russian weaponry and military technology outclassed what the US and NATO supplied to Kiev.

As of now, Russian forces are pressing ahead all across the 900-km frontline and the momentum might carry them far even across the Dnieper. Crimea and the Black Sea are not in any serious danger; the four new territories are resource-rich and Russia controls all the ports in the strategic Sea of Azov, which is an important access route for Central Asia from the Caspian Sea via the Volga-Don Canal.

However, although the US failed to achieve a military victory in Ukraine, the Biden Administration will try to prolong the conflict for as long as possible through 2024 hoping to bleed Russia in a gruelling struggle as in Afghanistan in the eighties. But it is a vain hope.

Sergey Naryshkin, chief of Russia’s foreign intelligence service wrote last week in the agency’s journal Razvedchik (The Intelligence Operative) that “there is a high probability that further support for the Kiev junta, especially given the increasing ‘toxicity’ of the Ukrainian theme for transatlantic unity and Western society as a whole, will accelerate the decline of the international authority of the West.

“Ukraine itself will turn into a ‘black hole’ absorbing material and human resources the further it goes,” he continued. “In the end, the US risks creating ‘another Vietnam,’ which every new US administration will have to deal with until some sensible person who has the courage and determination to break this vicious circle takes over in Washington.”

Ukraine will remain a priority issue for Russia and that is one main reason why the Russian elite and the nation at large want Putin to remain in power until 2030. The heart of the matter is that Putin also brilliantly tweaked the economic and social policies to sequester the lives of ordinary Russians from the usual deprivations characteristic of a ‘war economy’. Life moves on, and the ‘new normalcy’ is working well.

Putin has scattered the US’ goal to entrap Russia in an apparent quagmire — sending the Russian economy into a tailspin and stoking social discontent and creating conditions for an insurrection against the regime — to weaken Russia and remove it from the global stage as an increasingly effective counterpoint to the western hegemony by fuelling fissiparous tendencies to threaten the unity and integrity of the Russian Federation.

In reality, Putin’s achievements are a work in progress and his continuance in power remains a pre-requisite for Russia’s re-emergence as a ‘superpower’ surpassing even the Soviet Union in some ways in circumstances that are as much challenging as offering opportunities that must be creatively seized in a volatile world environment in historic transition.

Putin tested the waters and has put Russia on the right side of history, so to speak, which presents a study in contrast with the disarray and lack of conviction and mediocre leadership in the US and the transatlantic system as a whole.

If the above-mentioned essay by Naryshkin (entitled 2024 Is the Year Of the Geopolitical Awakening) is taken as benchmark, the world in transition can be expected to have a trajectory on the following lines:

  • A fundamental conflict between the ‘old’ and the ‘new’ world, which has been maturing below the surface through the three decades since the end of the cold war, has “moved into an open phase” with the commencement of Russia’s special military operation and has “acquired a geographically all-encompassing character” in the last year.
  • An increasing number of countries that “share the ideas of multipolarity and adhere to a traditional worldview” are pushing back the West’s globalist and anti-humanistic agenda.
  • Consequently, the risks of instability are multiplying, which lead to “an increase in the chaotic nature of the processes taking place in the foreign policy arena.” The emergent situation demands “remarkable restraint and foresight” from world leaders.
  • In sum, the current situation is “increasingly reminiscent of a class revolutionary situation, when the ‘upper classes’ in the face of the weakening United States can no longer provide their own leadership, and the ‘lower classes’, as the Anglo-Saxon elite refer to all other countries, no longer want to obey Western dictates.”
  • In order to preserve their global hegemony, the Euro-Atlantic elite will follow the well-trodden path of creating controlled chaos — de-stabilising the situation in key regions by pitting some ‘recalcitrant’ states against others and “forming a sub-system around them as operational and tactical coalitions controlled by the West.”
  • However, “responsible world players, especially Russia, China and India and some others demonstrate their readiness to resolutely resist external threats and independently implement crisis management.” Even the closest allies of the US are striving to diversify external relations faced with lack of confidence in America as provider of security. The eruption of Israel-Palestine conflict is “a sobering example” for many Western politicians.
  • In such a backdrop, “the world stage will be marked by a further intensification of the confrontation between the two geopolitical principles — namely, the Anglo-Saxon, or island, ‘divide-and-rule’ and the continental ‘unite-and-lead’ directly antagonistic to it. Manifestations of this fierce confrontation in the coming year will be observed in even the most remote regions of the world.”
Interestingly, in Naryshkin’s prognosis, it is not the Indo-Pacific but the Arab world that will remain “the key arena of the struggle for a new world order” in 2024. By the way, the essay appeared on the eve of Putin’s daylong trip to the UAE and Saudi Arabia on Wednesday where he recieved a hero’s welcome. In an extraordinary courtesy by the host countries, Putin’s presidential jet was flanked by four armed Su-35 multi-role 4th + + generation multi-role fighter jets noted for great combat power, high speed and matchless flight range.

Israel ridicules anyone who dares to even question their racist war crimes.

Look back through history and study their replies any time their previously-poorly-veiled nukes came into a discussion, or their perpetual land-grabs, which is what Netanyahu's real objective is.

They even discussed nuking the desert beyond Gaza.

Petulant children with major weapons, in great part as a result of their strategic geographic value to the US, and the US refusing to help even bridle the well-dressed savage motherfuckers.

Reminds me of the contrast when the British Empire existed, and they were prompt with their tea at 3, well dressed at tables with doilies, with pinky properly extended, while they decimated populations in their wake.

The clothes, furniture, window dressings, and table manners don't define civility. And in these historic ironies, those with all the trappings of supposed physical symbolism civility were/are the least civil of them all.

Routinely asking the Cosmos for instant karma. Trump, Biden, Netanyahu, and anyone like them; lightning bolts through their chests... PLEASE!!!

The remainder of the world has been watching long enough to know our flowery speeches make us HUGE hypocrites, and the US military is spread all over the world. Not a good defensive strategy when pissing off so many people.

Your routine (and noted by several others) strawman suppositions become part of your disingenuous being, noted in numerous aspects of your behavior.

Deal with yourself. Shallow, hollow, and defending your projections is no way to go through life.
Online presentations are not part of the physical being, as day-to-day reality.

If a person requires strawman arguments to appear more even keeled or brighter than they are, what might that say about them?
