With three months left until the inauguration of the next president, President Obama is virtually out the door. That doesn’t mean he doesn’t have time to start World War 3, however, and he has plenty of members of his administration arguing he should do exactly that.
Officials are eager to scream genocide over the fighting in Aleppo, which up until a couple of weeks ago the US was supposed to be participating in, and to argue that the US cannot possibly sit by and do nothing. What that “something” would be, however, is a matter of considerable debate among top policymakers.
Ironically, while Secretary of State John Kerry was the one who made the deal with Russia on joint attacks against Aleppo in the first place, he’s also leading the charge for a “strong response” against Russia and the Syrian government.
Officials are using any and every opportunity now to escalate tensions with Russia, with the DHS openly accusing them of trying to hack the US election, and several officials suggesting it to be a plot to get the Republican nominee elected.
Picking a military fight with Russia, extreme though it is, seems to be the go-to response for an awful lot of the high-ranking officials, and the main thing that seems to be holding President Obama back is that three months from now he’s out of office, and that’s awfully late to start a world war.
What do these maniacs think is going to happen? Russia will just shrivel and melt away under the glare of American greatness and exceptionality and run home with their tails between their legs? What if they don’t and they shoot back? As usual with the neocons there’s no plan B if things don’t go the way they think they will. So it will quickly escalate into a full scale nuclear exchange. I can just see it now, some idiot in Washington just before the US is wiped off the map stating that nobody could have forseen this happening, à la George W. Bush and Condoleeza Rice.
they are not neo cons, the are j e w s
That is exactly what both Russia and China were forced to do in Yugoslavia . Where the United States supported the old NAZIs Croats and The Islamic terrorists against the Orthodox Christians
The dismemberment of Yugoslavia was actually started by Germany which was the first country that recognized the illegal Croatian government.
This indeed is crazy! US signed the deal with Russia to jointly fight Al-Nusra in Aleppo, and is now claiming that these are just some good rebels, and fighting them is genocide. Aleppo “falling” is akin to Holocaust. Really, these are unfortunately not very intelligent people. Kerry and neocons probably thought they can outsmart Russia by tying its hands — but at least somebody in Pentagon did not see it that way. As this would really be expanding of mission. But I doubt that these are real reasons for the internal disagreements. I agree that Obama is not interested in starting the war, but neocons are interested in getting a good running start to Hillary. And — even though it may not be clear who is putting a brake on, somebody is. At this point it is Turkey who paralyzed neocons, as they had their neat plan — using Kurds, giving them the right to ethnically cleanse the border area — and then, using them as ground forces, “conquer” Raqqa, even though it is more likely that like Manbij, Raqqa will see ISIS depart for Iraq.
Hillary is already expecting Mosul to be liberated. However, there is a problem — Turkey is again messing things up. This time, around Mosul. It has base there, and will not tolerate PKK Kurds, the branch of Turkish PKK to be anywhere near. Turkey and Peshmerga Kurds are on the same page, as Barzani has good relationship with both Baghdad and Ankara. Both battles — against Raqqa and Mosul, will be fought on Turkish terms. And with a great deal of groups that sought patronage under Turkish military to avoid losing to Assad. But this time, they are fanatically anti-American.
What a mess. Our neocons, in their zeal to WIN, have gotten into the weeds, and thus failed to see how the picture has changed, and the circumstances became worse for the US. But there is also a chance to establish peace — both in Syria and Iraq, and that is what scares them most.
they are not neo cons, they are j e w s, and their only goal is to destroy the US and Russia so they can have their pax judaica
650,000 Sunni rebel citizens have already fled to Assad’s side . Not because they like Assad so well , but because they hate the ISIS and Al Nusra so much . Those remaining 250,000 citizens are being held hostage in order to create a human sacrifice
Exactly. What i find interesting is whenever we ransack a city (Ramadi, Fallujah, Tikrit, Manbij) destroying it and killing many many civilians in the process we explain that ISIS or whoever were holding them as human shields which then justifies our slaughter of civilians. So, when the situation is identical in Allepo, then the U.S. says this is genocide?
These people are totally insane.
Putin has already said he would probably go along with the New World Orders , if Russia could have some input in what the orders will be ? But Putin said all the orders have already been decided So you can count Russia out . I think we can assume China agrees with Russia on this .
Both Russia and China have been preparing for the day they can confront the neocons since they tucked their tails between their legs in Yugoslavia 16 years ago .
And, China has not forgotten nor will they ever forget Bill Clinton’s bombing of their embassy.
Big headline with no information. Who exactly is advocating for “attacking Russia” ?
Not attacking Russia itself, but Russian forces in Syria, which could of course escalate into a direct conflict with the motherland.
no names.
A call for a no-fly zone entails attacks on Russian planes that are bombing al-Qaeda in Aleppo.
This situation could easily spin out of control into a nuclear exchange, even now. What keeps nuclear war from happening are 2 things: trust and luck. Trust, at least between the US and Russia, has hit zero (Russia had had some trust for the US, but has been burned so many times that they can no longer trust the US government in any way). As for luck, well…
The problem with the elites in Washington is not that they are evil. It is far worse than that. They are completely incompetent, and believe in their own intellectual and moral superiority. They live in a post-reality era, where opinions are more important than facts. In fact, some have said as much;

Neocons have captured much of the establishment in both political parties in the United States . That is why a strong neocon republican will switch to support a neocon democrat . The NEW World Order is more precious to a strong neocon than any conservative or liberal principles either political party may have . Neocons also support both Sunni Muslims and Roman Catholics because they are the two biggest religious groups but better yet they support a one world religion for their one world order called the New World Order . This NWO scheme is why so many positions taken by the United States just don’t make sense on the battle field on any given day .
This smells like Omerta for the humiliation of President Obama with the Crimea.
Only an insane person can even consider military measures against Russia in Syria where Russia has a naval base like it had and still has in Sevastopol.
01.10.2016 Syria’s Heroic Fight Against Western Imperialism
Syria It is hard to imagine a more resilient, more heroic nation than Syria! With only 17 million inhabitants (according to the 2014 estimate), Syria is now facing the mightiest coalition on Earth – a coalition that consists of virtually all traditional Western colonialist and neo-colonialist nations.

05.10.2016 Russian Business Interests in China
Russia in the World Russian President, Vladimir Putin, was the key player at the G20 Summit that took place in September 2016 in China. This was due to not only political reasons: the Russian leader managed to garner extra popularity with international media outlets all because of an unexpected gift – a box of Russian ice cream, which Mr Putin personally presented to the President of the People’s Republic of China Xi Jinping.

Officials deeply divided on starting a war with Russia? Those who think it is a good idea should be identified and placed in mental institution.
obama was mocked for his “don’t do stupid stuff” comment as regards foreign policy. Here we see that the system seems to be actively trying to do stupid stuff. God help us when HRC is in charge.
Putin should order a 1 megaton nuke dropped on Aleppo tomorrow, just to show he means business.
