The US just can’t stop from destroying themselves little by little.Now while Xi is on a state visit to the US the US threatens economic sanctions on China,and insults them.The US has no concept of how bad that is in Eastern cultures to insult a visiting guest.I’m sure the Chinese are livid over that. http://www.rt.com/news/316490-china-us-hacking-sanctions/
And while one group of idiots is busy insulting China.Another bunch of idiots is at work on Russia. US pro-junta Senator advises Kiev to walk away and pay Russia “not a penny” of the 3 Billion they owe Russia for the loan.He says the US and the West will provide “legal cover” for the junta so they don’t need to pay back the loan money to Russia.And that the US senate will be meeting with the IMF on that subject soon.Total morons in the US regime. http://www.rt.com/business/316483-ukraine-russia-debt-us/
Also BTW,the Putin/Obama meeting was requested by the US,Russia reports.Not as the US is saying ,that Putin was “desperate” for the meeting and asked for it.The Russians are mad that that is being lied about. http://www.rt.com/news/line/
Breathe in slowly.
There is no win of Putin or Xi yet.
Since polite green men appearance in Crimea there is no obvious clever plan or grandmaster chess move…
I consider for main failure the illusion of Kremlin that someday Washington will accept Russia as real equal partner. NO WAY, hegemon´s only chance is to exploit others without any fear of some rival.
It is the Americans´ game, they set up and change the rules, their playground, they manage the refferees and they never intended to play fair.
The Americans fancy themselves to to be what Carl Schmitt (?) called the “sovereign exception.” What the Chinese and Russians will do is to assert themselves and know what they are up against.
It was quite revealing that the USA turned to Nazi jurisprudence for a rationale for their abrogation of the Nuremberg prohibitions on aggression, and the Convention against torture. But given the close relationship between Schmitt and Leo Strauss, the intellectual Godfather of the Jewish ‘neo-conservatives’ who have controlled US geopolitics for decades, this is hardly surprising.
“I consider for main failure the illusion of Kremlin that someday Washington will accept Russia as real equal partner. NO WAY, hegemon´s only chance is to exploit others without any fear of some rival.”
Who wants to be accepted as equal partner by thugs and bullies? Only other thugs and bullies.
But Putin has no choice but to deal with statesmen and politicians of dubious pedigree. It is part of his job to work with Western leaders, who unfortunately, all seem to be thugs and bullies.
A big heart, a fundamental trust in existence, and a healthy portion of “street-wiseness” and psychological finesse are required in these tricky situations. Putin learned these skills during his childhood years in the back-yards of St. Petersberg. And he is doing just fine, even admiringly so.
Watch him carefully, and you will realize that a lot has happened since the days of the polite green men in Crimea. An awful lot. So much, in fact, that the whole global geopolitical climate has changed – without almost anyone noticing it!
Q; The US just can’t stop from destroying themselves.
R; One day Obombi will be quoted as saying, “The only thing I remember, is forgetting so many things…”
I personally vouch for many of my friends. You will never see them, hear them or meet them in person, but they are really good people. This ff-ing 0,1% doesn’t represent them at all. This is not the US I know. This is an artificially created monster, fed by banksters and led by ushers of $$$.
Very true! But sadly,it is that 1% that have seized control of the US while the “regular people” slept.I think we thought “nothing could go wrong,why get involved,I’ve got my own life to lead”.And then yes,it could go wrong and we should have been involved.And our life is diminished, our children’s future stunted,because we didn’t get involved.Now the monster we let be created, has taken over everything.And without down right revolution (which few will agree to) can’t be stopped from the inside of the US.
As I wrote the lines above ,it dawned on me they could have been written by a Ukrainian in Kiev as well.About the junta they let come to power (or for that matter an EU citizen that let their stooges come to power).
Bob, the 1% or to be more precise the 0.01% have always controlled the USA. As John Jay the first Chief Justice said, ‘Those people who own this country are going to run this country’. The nature of these owners has changed however, from WASP industrialists to Jewish financialists, over the decades.
Crosstalk: For all those who were so concerned over a year ago about Putin’s lack of fortitude, you can relax because this man is not taking the b.s. from the West any more. For one:
and for another: Their ace in the hole is that they legally can and will send troops to Syria if Assad requests it.
These are perilous times because it is in the anglo-american psychology to issue the bluff ( those nukes are not yet in Germany) then test the counter bluff. It is very important the response of the Russians to the test and this will require military intelligence or a tip off. It is certain that the world will sigh with relief upon hearing Putin’s speech at the UN—the madmen are not entirely at the helm these days. Ultimately everything depends on the human factor. Let the Hegemon monsters dream of running their empire with trusty robots! I just wish my religious neighbors would stop babbling about end times and blood moons.
Russians were legally invited by Janukovyc to Ukraine 2 years ago too.
They had the chance to sit him into a tank direction Kiev and letting gather anti-junta troops, enough of pro-russian anti-bandera patriots over there.
Even no need of Strelkov-like militias to advance and cross Dnepr river westwards..
But momentum lost. I do not think they planned and preferred the frozen conflict as it is evolving now.
Naively after all the meddling of USA and EU on Maydan Moscow hoped for diplomatic and win-win solution.
Putin himself admitted in an interview (don’t ask me for a link – I caught it on RT at the time. It was one of his official appearances in one Russian Summit or other [I think this one was a Q&A event with young Russian students, but don’t quote me]) so, as I was saying… he admitted in that interview that he personally advised Yanukovych (on a telephone conversation) not to retaliate against the ‘protestors.’ This was at the time when the so-called “peaceful” protestors at the Maidan were getting rather violent, throwing molotovs, and injuring un-armed policemen, sometimes kidnapping them so they could torture them…
Just imagine if he would had said the opposite: Yup, go right ahead; gun-machine the lot of them.
How many innocent people – women, children, elderly – in the Donbass would be still alive today?
Granted, the international PR would be a complete disaster, but just imagine: all those innocent people form the Odessa massacre and the Donbass, now gone, would be still with us now.
Very true! I thought that at the time.He should have called a “state of emergency” and crushed the fascist elements once and for all.Called on his supporters in the Southeast to mobilize to send supporters to Kiev and stop the traitors from the very first.At that time the military at worst, would have been split, with quite a few loyal to the government.And since the guilt of the US and EU/NATO nations was known even then, (or strongly suspected) he should have expelled their agents from the country at the very start.And imprisoned the local 5th column elements.Certainly the MSM would have attacked him for it.But a leader that actually wants the best for his nation, and his people, does what’s best for them,no matter the cost.But we see now clearly what weakness brings on in a leader.However this disaster of the former Ukraine ends, Yanukovich, will go down in history as the man who lead Ukraine to destruction because of his inaction.
“But a leader that actually wants the best for his nation, and his people, does what’s best for them, no matter the cost.”
That’s the thing though, chances are; Yanukovych, was certainly not a strong leader. He saw the sharks circling him, and he was far more concerned with his own safety than that of his country. Top it all off, aside all the MSM propaganda of Yanukovych being a pro-Russian president (he wasn’t) Putin never really liked him (admitted by Putin himself), so he was alone in the wilderness, on one side he had the entire weight of the Hegemon breathing down his neck, and on the other, he really didn’t have Russian support ( I’m guessing that’s his own doing, btw).
But non of the above retracts from the fact that he was a little coward, who cared more about his own survival than the fate of the nation he was supposed to be looking after.
You don’t remember where you got that “quote” about Putin telling Yanko to go light on the maiden nazis, I remember Putin saying Yanko handed the Ukraine over to the nazis because he did not step on them once they showed their hand. Putin also had no interest in meeting with Yanko after the coup, either.
Something else I remember is you, tl2q defending the je suis Charlie zionazis.
So, I would like to see your source for that Putin quote before I take it seriously.
Hi Vot Tak, I was thinking the same thing buddy…Putin said he had a phone call from Yanukovich who was planning on running away, and Putin said, he wouldn’t have done it, as the leader of a country has the army to call on.
“[..] So, I would like to see your source for that Putin quote before I take it seriously”
The “source” was Putin’s mouth, now either Putin did say that (I don’t speak Russian) or the RT translator did a lousy job and mistranslated him.
But it wouldn’t be the first time Putin puts his foot in his mouth, he also said at the Economic Summit (2014) when interviewed by this obnoxious american journalist that he will recognize the new government of Ukraine (this was before Porko was elected). But he was saying just minutes earlier that was happened in Ukraine was essentially an illegal coup. Committing himself to recognize a government before elections, on live television no less, and before studying under what conditions those elections took place, was a HUGE mistake. This was the same interview where he admitted for the first time the presence of Russian Military boots in Crimea (the polite green men), he even joked to rest of the panel ‘who is this guy!?’ (meaning: the obnoxious yank who was insisting on getting an answer, and was ovbiously starting to get on his nerves).
But go ahead don’t believe that one either even though I’m pretty sure half the world saw it.
-TL2Q
You make a good point that the nukes are not yet in Germany, and the US cd b testing Russian response. It always annoys me that US is actually in violation of non-proliferation treaty by putting ANY category of nuke in another country. US insists it hasn’t violated the treaty merely by extending nukes to another country because that doesn’t count since the nukes remain under US control.
So according to that thinking it wd’ve been OK for Khrushev to station nukes on Cuba, or Russia to put them into Mexico.
I’m also tired of hearing that this is because Americans in general or the ruling class in particular are convinced that they are exceptional. No such thing: They’re plain evil & to conceal it they use every lie & specious argument they can invent.
Sorry. Sometimes I just get tired of being lied to.
The leader of Cross Talk worries me alto as he always moans “here the Americans making another mistake!” He does not seem to understand the policy for Washington is very simple:” Any leader we can buy, is good, leave him in, send him more money!” “Any leader who dis-obeys us, disagrees, we remove him. If we cannot remove him we kill him!” “Chaos is our reason for being!”
“The leader of Cross Talk worries me alto as he always moans “here the Americans making another mistake!”
To be fair… he moved from the ‘unintended consequences’ mantra (or mistake), to… NO! The US is actually training and arming these crazies.
That’s a considerable improvement if you ask me. All in what? Only a few weeks, a month and a bit at best?
The only thing I have to criticize Peter about is that, for some reason, he’s still pushing the line that Russia proposed an exit to the US [in regards to the Syrian quagmire] a few years ago and then ‘they’ [meaning the US] “walked away” from the deal.
I’m still trying to confirm that, and yes, I did find a number of articles on the matter, but they’re all from devious sources, if anything they all look like a smear campaign to pit Russia as the backstabbers against Syria.
So , I’m really scratching my head on that one. And why Peter insists on bringing it up.
TooLegit2Quit
Regarding “Russia proposed an exit to the US [in regards to the Syrian quagmire] a few years ago and then ‘they’ [meaning the US] “walked away” from the deal…”
Not knowing what you consider ‘deviant sources’, perhaps a google of e.g. “Finnish Nobel peace prize laureate Martti Ahtisaari Syria” will give a wide selection of sources reporting on the very credible ex Finnish PM’s revelations – in an interview with the Guardian
(That being a right royal rag who have bullhorned the Anglo Ministry of Truth fiction line on Syria from day 1 – so rather surprising that they reported it … unless there is a change in Chatham House strategy).
My crit of Peter is that Anglo Empire DO NOT make mistakes.
What we see as ‘failures’ and ‘mistakes’ are only thus through a moral prism, or if one buys the sales propaganda of their eternal wars to “deliver democracy” / “deliver people from Evil Dictators” blah blah.
Anglo Empire Kakistocrats are Machiavellian in the extreme with zero regard for death, destruction, human suffering, chaos, anarchy …. The fallout never touches their shores.
…. plus the now bottomless pit of demented desperado’s to recruit as their cheap cannon fodder 4th Generational Warfare proxy forces is highly desirable …
(Compare e.g. the elaborate effort made in South African “regime change” transition to that in Iraq : Who in their right mind would implement a sectarian constitution, refuse all Saddams military and state workers including teachers etc any employment .. (WHO employed them?) … walk out leaving a weak military with no air cover (despite planes having been purchased ……. and how Machiavellian was leaving Libya a cesspool of anarchy with some 250 000 reported hired savages shipped in to destroy the nation – which serves as a jihadi & arms clearing house to AFRICOM subsequent wars raging across Africa – and back into Syria-Iraq).
No mistakes at all. Especially not the calculated sequence of Afghanistan-Pakistan .. Iraq-Libya-Syria.
It would surely be a simple matter to cut off the IS funds and close the bank accounts … as whistleblown on by Scott Bennett – who was jailed along with a Swiss banker for trying to report these accounts
Surely a relatively simple matter to cut off the training, most arms and other supplies coming in from Anglo allies Israel, Jordan, Turkey, Saudi .. instead of carving out ‘safe zone’ supply lines nearly closed by the Syrian Kurds.
Surely a simple matter to trace who is paying for the stolen oil – and to sanction them.
I agree,much of what we, from a moral stand-point need to “believe” were “mistakes” were really the “plan” all along.We (as in the World) just find it hard to fathom evil like that in our World.So mentally its easier to assume it was/are “mistakes” instead.
Dee, very good. Love ‘kakistocrats’, and ‘pathocrats’, too. The ultimate purpose of Western geo-politics in the current era is genocide. They intend to exterminate as many ‘useless eaters’ as possible, and the destruction of states is merely a means to that end. Congo is possibly even more of a portent of the future, with US stooges Kagame and Musuveni leading the looting of the fabulous mineral wealth, while various death-squads, trained in psychopathy and terror, ravage the land and exterminate the populace. Societal collapse increases the death-toll, which is thoroughly ignored by the filthy moral monsters of the Western MSM. Chuck in the latest bio-engineered version of ‘Ebola’ or some new zoonosis, and you’ll get some nice real estate stripped of the untermenschen. My theory for some decades has been to imagine the most evil motivations and intentions, and that invariably accurately predicts Western elite behaviour.
“Not knowing what you consider ‘deviant sources’, perhaps a google of e.g. “Finnish Nobel peace prize laureate Martti Ahtisaari Syria” will give a wide selection of sources reporting on the very credible ex Finnish PM’s revelations [..]”
Ooops, I meant to say “dubious” but yeah, the story is about a conversation between him and Churkin, supposedly. The Kremlin denied it and Churkin didn’t confirm it, or denied it too, I forget now. Usually I bookmark important news/info, I didn’t this one because it didn’t sound credible (the people on the comment section arrived at the same conclusion). But even if the story is true, I would still rather believe it isn’t, since Russia has no business in meddling with Syrian internal political affairs, and brokering a deal between Assad’s government and the so-called opposition at the time (was this back in 2012?), is pretty much meddling in my book.
But you’re correct, I read it at the InformationClearingHouse re-posted from the Guardian, yes.
The rest of your post I totally agree with, you’re right, what the yanks and their partners in crime do is indeed Machiavellian, that’s the right word to use which is one of the ‘Dark Triad’ = a group of three personality traits: narcissism, Machiavellianism and psychopathy. They display all three, btw.
In regards to this episode of Cross Talk, I think they’ve all done reasonably well, but the guy with silver hair was more on the ball than the other two, in my opinion.
I appreciate your conviction that Mr. Ahtisaari is honest in his representation that Russia made an offer for Assad to step aside and the US refused it because they thought he would fall by military means. However, Iran has disclosed that they made a proposition to the Russians that included Assad stepping aside and the Russians refused it.
More essentially, the idea that the disposition of President Assad’s personal role is the stumbling block to peace is entirely deceptive. The reason given by the West as to why “Assad must go” is that he is a dictator. Really! As if the US does not support dictators, and even overthrow democratic regimes in order to impose puppet dictators.
It is documented that the US wishes to replace the ENTIRE govt of Syria, not just
President Assad:
At Geneva I Jeffrey Feltman tried, through trickery, to get the following plan tthrough the UN:
He drew up a plan for the total and unconditional surrender of the Syrian Arab Republic. The sovereignty of the Syrian People must be abolished ; the Constitution must be revoked ; the President must be relieved of his duties ; the Peoples’ Assembly must be dissolved ; 120 Syrian leaders must be arrested and judged and convicted ; the Direction of Military Intelligence, the Direction of Political Security and the Direction of General Security must be decapitated or dissolved ; the « political prisoners » must be freed and the anti-terrorist courses must be stopped.
Btw, concerning the death of Lebanon’s Hariri:
Jeffrey Feltman also attempted to convict the Presidents of Lebanon and Syria, Emile Lahoud and Bachar el-Assad, on the basis of paid, false testimony, but the accusations collapsed once the truth was known. Mr. Feltman continues to work against Syria and Iran in his new post.
An Indonesian based political commentator says the recent remarks made by high ranking US officials suggest a new effort is under way to pressure Russia into embracing America’s “incoherent” and “contradictory policies on Syria.”
Barry Grossman, an international lawyer based on the Indonesian island of Bali, made the remarks in a phone interview with Press TV on Friday while commenting on US officials’ statements over Russia’s assistance to the Syrian government.
Echoing similar remarks made recently by UK and European officials, US State Department spokesman John Kirby said on Thursday that the Russian military build-up in Syria “appears to be an effort to continue to prop up the Assad regime.”
Amateur video has appeared online, apparently showing the moment when a deadly crush began in Saudi Arabia’s Mina as two streams of pilgrims were redirected through a single gate.
The incident occurred at 9 am local time (0600 GMT) on Thursday. Saudi authorities say 717 people were killed in the incident, while Iran’s Hajj and Pilgrimage Organization puts the death toll at more than 1,300.
But he is as nutty as a two-headed squirrel at acorn harvest time, on a good day, so no corroboration of his wild stories do I see anywhere other sites ever.
A UK Hajj organiser said it was the Saudis halting the flow, to allow some Saudi ‘prince’ parasite to pass, that caused the crush. That sounds about right, particularly as the Saudis now deny it.
Global aviation major Boeing announced on Wednesday that it had struck a record deal worth $38 billion with China to make 300 planes for the country.
Boeing said the planes include 250 narrowbody 737 aircraft and 50 widebody aircraft, adding that the deal was signed during the visit by China’s President Xi Jinping to its Everett, Washington, factory.
President Xi told hundreds of Boeing employees in the factory that he sees bright prospects for future collaboration between China and Boeing.
sorry, you have no clue. Economy is not awesome – that’s correct. But overall situation in Russia is far better than it is used to be, like when once or twice a century somebody invades or country collapses or whatever.
This is not a hardship for Russia, this is nothing at all. This is just willingness to talk and to be reasonable.
Site has a blaring headline tabloid propaganda look to it, but does give some hint of the battles.
Commentary is full of terms “screaming rats”, “pests”, & “cockroaches”!
No idea if it’s true about the tunnels dug so near the capital now discovered.
Despite their differences, and diverging factions within, the pro-referendum parties were able to muster enough votes in 2013 to pass a declaration that affirmed Catalonia’s right to self-determination, and set forth the beginning of a process to call an independence referendum.
But Spain’s constitutional court declared the declaration void and unconstitutional.
Since then, the size of demonstrations has got bigger and bigger – and support for a referendum has intensified.
Iceland is an interesting country.Over the last 100 years, unlike most of Europe,natural increase in the population has been +3 times.And the foreign immigrant population is only around 1% of the population.Of which most of them are from other European states.Of course from now on,that person,and probably Iceland itself will be on the Zionist’s hit list.
Thanks for the article. It is good to see The Saker mentioned and quoted. However I am dubious about quoting Debka – which is a misinformation site:
“According to the news site, DEBKA.file, said to be a conduit for Israeli military and Mossad intelligence, at the end of August Russia’s Putin proposed to Israel for Moscow to undertake responsibility for guarding Israel’s Mediterranean gas fields, along with the offer of a Russian investment of $7-10 billion for developing Leviathan, the largest well, and building a pipeline to Turkey for exporting the gas to Europe.”A multibillion Russian investment in the field would make it a Russian project which neither Syria nor Hizballah would dare attack, even though it belongs to Israel,”
Something doesn’t ring true…..Do we really think the Zionists would allow this? You never know though………
The US (not to mention its minions) has no moral authority on Earth. It does not matter which forked tongue politician eventually bubbles to the surface of the political cesspool of the US in the next election, nor how much deceitful blather the US media purveys to its mushroom troops (fed on sh*t and kept in the dark), nor how many dollars the Fed prints for its patrons, the only authority the US will have in the future is whatever comes out of the barrels of its guns. (And if those guns are hacked, the US will have no authority on Earth whatsoever! Quel domage.)
It will only regain its virtue by repentance and repayment for all the destruction it has caused. Maybe Putin in his speech will offer it an olive branch: it is possible for the US to redeem itself by working together with those who are sincere in their desire for peace. Russia now holds the moral high ground, and its position does not need explanation, it is self-evident to anyone who cares to study it.
Meanwhile I hope the SAA roasts every last one of the monkey rat cockroaches in their dens (I’m laughing but I sense the pain of the Syrian people, the psychos do not deserve to live on and neither do their backers). There are still other wars and struggles to come for the suffering Earth, but the healing can begin any time.
David, it does raise a very troubling moral question. I’m utterly against capital punishment, but what do you do with the evil psychopaths of the USA’s latest death-squad army? The leaders will run away to sanctuary in Saudi Arabia or Israel (like the ‘South Lebanese Army’ scum)but what to do with the low-level psycho head-lopping vermin? Lock them up for life, I suppose, but where, and at whose expense. If they ever escape, they are almost certain to return to murder and horror.
How about these ideas for dealing with the takfiris and their allies:
– Put them to work as grave diggers for burring their victims and comrades. The more they need to stare on the remains of death people, the better they will know what awaits them if they fall back to murder and looting.
– Put them to demine and reconstruct the country.
– Force them to learn reading and to read and understand the entire Koran as primary condition to an eventual release after expiry of their imprisonment.
Mulga & Marcel, I don’t have the answer, the pool is too deep for me — maybe it is a question for the men in the turbans to answer. I would be too full of the need for revenge, and then at the last minute I would let the bastards off, and so on. I wonder what the women would say?
If you want physical revenge, you will have to kill them in the same way they murdered people. That will pull you down to their level of evil. What I proposed would inflict a psychological revenge to them, force them to rebuild what was destroyed, and hopefully educate them to the point that they will hate themselves for the atrocities done.
The real jihad is the mental struggle with the beast inside oneself. If these murderers ever will take up fake jihad again, they deserve to be killed on the spot.
“Yep. And in his press conference today Xi announced China and the U.S. will hold regular calls to coordinate policies.
Xi and Putin pathetically crawling all the way to master Obama.
Gotta love Putin using the UN assembly as an excuse to go beg Obama to be nice to him as the Russian economy continues to be squeezed.
Let’s not even talk about Brazil, which is in complete free fall.
So much for the BRICS”
Just keep dreaming, looks like the troll’s conference is going on attack.
What about this big guy with the ego up the sky!!!!!
After more than a year of demonising Russia as a threat to world peace, all of a sudden the United States changes tack and wants to hold talks with Moscow over Syria. US President Barack Obama and his Russian counterpart Vladimir Putin are set to hold talks in New York on the sidelines of the UN General Assembly meeting. The leaders will meet on Monday, 28 September, authorities from both the countries have confirmed. What a change from Obama’s churlish tantrums towards the Russian president!
This article I read,puts in simple terms what needs to be done to end the refugee crisis,”and” the war in Syria.But as the article says,it doesn’t fit the political “agenda” of the West to do it.So hopefully,Russia and her allies will take the burden on themselves to solve this problem:
“The refugee crisis in Europe could be easily solved. The problem is that the real solution would not suit the the political establishment of the United States or Western Europe. We’ve distilled what needs to be done down to 5 simple steps.”
1.Stop funding and arming rebel groups attempting to overthrow the Syrian government. It’s well established that these weapons have been ending up in the hands of ISIS and its affiliates. This has caused nothing but chaos and destruction. Money being funneled into these shady operations should be immediately redirected to an intensive reconstruction effort.
2.Pressure Turkey and Jordan to cut off ISIS supply routes, and impose sanctions on any country facilitating the sale of oil from IS territory or allowing funds or materials to reach them. No army can function if their supply chain is broken. It’s not an accident these routes start at the Turkish and Jordanian borders.
3.Support the Syrian government. An entire year of U.S. airstrikes in Syria have utterly failed to destroy or even significantly weaken ISIS. Of course this is because the real strategy isn’t to bring ISIS down, but rather to contain them and allow them to weaken Assad gradually. If Washington really wanted to stop this group, they would take a hint from Russia and provide the Syrian government with weapons, training and logistical support to enable them to push ISIS back. This means Washington and its allies would have to officially abandon all plans for a forced regime change. They might not like Assad, but the majority of the citizens of Syria support him. In fact he has more support within his country than Obama or the U.S. congress have in America. And at various intervals he’s had more support than Congress and Obama combined. Any government installed after a U.S. backed regime change will be viewed as a puppet government, and will therefore lack the legitimacy needed to stabilize the region. If you need evidence of this, just look at Afghanistan or Iraq.
4.Provide direct assistance to rebuild housing, infrastructure and businesses destroyed by the conflict. In the short term temporary refugee camps should be set up in areas outside of the conflict zone, and food and medical supplies shipped in on a regular basis. Yes this will cost money, but so has the five year regime change push that created the problem in the first place.
5.Return the refugees to these stabilized regions. It is in no one’s interest to flood Europe with masses of unemployed refugees. Doing so will only lead to heightened tensions and will strengthen xenophobic movements. These people don’t need to be transplanted into the ghettos of Europe, they need their homes back. http://stormcloudsgathering.com/how-to-solve-the-european-migrantrefugee-crisis-5-simple-steps
this is the best crosstalk I’ve ever seen…Peter is so enthused that he’s stumbling over his words.
I’m actually not completely knowledgeable about what’s happened in the past 24 hours….the States has asked Putin’s advice ?
Anyway, I love his guests…Daniel McAdams is my very favorite guy….what a sweetie and I also love both of the other guests…one so calm and cool and one so Arabic…with big soft eyes….nice.
Putin’s attempts to put together a broad coalition to destroy the Western-created ISIS should not include the US for obvious reasons of perfidy and malevolence. Here in the ridiculous ‘Dominion of Canada’, an official ‘Assad must go’ phenomenon is still very much alive, even by the opposition New Democratic Party, who promises, if elected in the upcoming October general elections, to pull Canada out of the US ‘coalition’ that’s been bombing ISIS without effect, because they fear this strengthens Assad. Like Stephen Harper, they are also staunch supporters of Israel and the US-installed Ukronazi oligarchy in Kiev. Beam me up Scotty there’s definitely no intelligent life in Canadian foreign policy.
1. New nukes in Germany: symbolic at best and perhaps a minor advantage with delivery time to Moscow. The main thrust is clearly to ensure Germany is a target and keep them in the game on NATO’s leash.
2. Refugee exodus: Very likely a long planned escape strategy for the fake ISIS BlackWater Gang triggered by early intel on Russian intent and moves. Spook the crowd and melt in with fake Syrian passports on the overland route back to the desk job in ‘wherever’ after the end of the season’s ME hunting season for psychopaths. The Russian’s are coming! … back to mommy…
3. Zionist Apartheid ‘state’ of Israel: the criminal nut jobs may well play footsy with DC but the Kremlin is another matter. They are fast being cornered as the rats they are in the land of Palestine and it is likely to loose them the Golan Heights and other occupied borderlands to Russian/Collective Security Treaty Organisation (CSTO) — a UN ‘Peace keeping’ mission in principle with S-500 capacities to play the ‘cop’ which the boy-wonder Obama could only have wet dreams over. And to boot the Zionist backside again, not only has Putin just invited the presidents of Turkey and Palestine (yes, Palestine’s Abbas!) to the opening of the Cathedral Mosque in Moscow, but he has also seemingly engineered two Russian equipped and supported ‘pre-owned’ Mistral carriers positioned in Egypt — the land of the Sphinx AND the land of the Suez Canal (which has, like a stick, two ends to defend) — most likely carrying a nest of that nasty flying beast the Ka-52 Alligator Attack Helicopter (see https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t3O801sVuVo ).
4. China: Continuing from (3), again, a situation the Chinese navy (&Iran) will probably appreciate as they pivot to the Med for business-as-usual and perhaps some cooperation on offshore gas business with Russia, Syria, Turkey, Egypt and likely Israel (& Palestine and even Gaza — the next HK if they get the blood sucking vampires off their body collective). The next Chinese port in the Med: old Tartus, or new Latakia?
5. We know the Zionist state is quietly desperate and sniffing the wind when a minor story emerges of some recent ‘discovery’ of an alleged 3,000 year old artifact from King Solomon (or whom ever) recently discovered by a — that’s right! — young Russian boy. This is Hollywood at its best! Next it will be the ‘Lost Arc …! “Sorry, Temple 3.0 zealots, Al-Aqsa Mosque is safe, dudes!” (Putin The Great).
6. Belarus: they get to close their borders so not even ‘a rat’ can get through from the disintegrating Ukraine Nazi regime heading into a cold winter (& just a little short of the gas needed to keep everyone home and happy) AND they get a new Russian base to help the economic bottom line. We can bet Berlin is now just that little bit closer to the delivery of you-know-whats.
7. Kurdistan may emerge from all this, but one thing is clear, the US’s time in the ME is fading fast and the de-clawing is now in process. The Plains of Syria have been won (in all but the mopping up) and it is Russian/Chinese (read SCO with Iran & Pakistan and India) which holds the future ‘responsible’ governance role on all things energy and infrastructure ‘protection’ etc.
8. If/when this all pops then gold may or may not be a safe haven from the $USD meltdown (the Yelling Lady has coughed her Fed speech up) … but one thing is highly likely, the price of heroine on the streets of USA and Europe will go through the roof if the CIA’s little Afghan business model is closed down. Whether sanity returns after the punch bowl is removed is another question, but anything which increases the possibility of the return of the function of remorse which this drug suppresses can only be good for peace.
9. Putin has already done his “95 Thesis” — the reformation is one — he just has to nail the speech on the UN door next week.
The feeling one gets through all the murderous decisions US/NATO have taken in Syria and else in the middle east, is that the demise of the US/NATO is happening very quickly. The US/Nato allies seem like a frantic entity trying to survive all its mistakes, yet continue to drown in their wrong thought out decisions.
The US just can’t stop from destroying themselves little by little.Now while Xi is on a state visit to the US the US threatens economic sanctions on China,and insults them.The US has no concept of how bad that is in Eastern cultures to insult a visiting guest.I’m sure the Chinese are livid over that.
http://www.rt.com/news/316490-china-us-hacking-sanctions/
And while one group of idiots is busy insulting China.Another bunch of idiots is at work on Russia. US pro-junta Senator advises Kiev to walk away and pay Russia “not a penny” of the 3 Billion they owe Russia for the loan.He says the US and the West will provide “legal cover” for the junta so they don’t need to pay back the loan money to Russia.And that the US senate will be meeting with the IMF on that subject soon.Total morons in the US regime.
http://www.rt.com/business/316483-ukraine-russia-debt-us/
Also BTW,the Putin/Obama meeting was requested by the US,Russia reports.Not as the US is saying ,that Putin was “desperate” for the meeting and asked for it.The Russians are mad that that is being lied about.
http://www.rt.com/news/line/
Breathe in slowly.
There is no win of Putin or Xi yet.
Since polite green men appearance in Crimea there is no obvious clever plan or grandmaster chess move…
I consider for main failure the illusion of Kremlin that someday Washington will accept Russia as real equal partner. NO WAY, hegemon´s only chance is to exploit others without any fear of some rival.
It is the Americans´ game, they set up and change the rules, their playground, they manage the refferees and they never intended to play fair.
The Americans fancy themselves to to be what Carl Schmitt (?) called the “sovereign exception.” What the Chinese and Russians will do is to assert themselves and know what they are up against.
It was quite revealing that the USA turned to Nazi jurisprudence for a rationale for their abrogation of the Nuremberg prohibitions on aggression, and the Convention against torture. But given the close relationship between Schmitt and Leo Strauss, the intellectual Godfather of the Jewish ‘neo-conservatives’ who have controlled US geopolitics for decades, this is hardly surprising.
“I consider for main failure the illusion of Kremlin that someday Washington will accept Russia as real equal partner. NO WAY, hegemon´s only chance is to exploit others without any fear of some rival.”
Who wants to be accepted as equal partner by thugs and bullies? Only other thugs and bullies.
But Putin has no choice but to deal with statesmen and politicians of dubious pedigree. It is part of his job to work with Western leaders, who unfortunately, all seem to be thugs and bullies.
A big heart, a fundamental trust in existence, and a healthy portion of “street-wiseness” and psychological finesse are required in these tricky situations. Putin learned these skills during his childhood years in the back-yards of St. Petersberg. And he is doing just fine, even admiringly so.
Watch him carefully, and you will realize that a lot has happened since the days of the polite green men in Crimea. An awful lot. So much, in fact, that the whole global geopolitical climate has changed – without almost anyone noticing it!
@ Uncle Bob 1,
Q; The US just can’t stop from destroying themselves.
R; One day Obombi will be quoted as saying, “The only thing I remember, is forgetting so many things…”
I personally vouch for many of my friends. You will never see them, hear them or meet them in person, but they are really good people. This ff-ing 0,1% doesn’t represent them at all. This is not the US I know. This is an artificially created monster, fed by banksters and led by ushers of $$$.
Very true! But sadly,it is that 1% that have seized control of the US while the “regular people” slept.I think we thought “nothing could go wrong,why get involved,I’ve got my own life to lead”.And then yes,it could go wrong and we should have been involved.And our life is diminished, our children’s future stunted,because we didn’t get involved.Now the monster we let be created, has taken over everything.And without down right revolution (which few will agree to) can’t be stopped from the inside of the US.
As I wrote the lines above ,it dawned on me they could have been written by a Ukrainian in Kiev as well.About the junta they let come to power (or for that matter an EU citizen that let their stooges come to power).
Bob, the 1% or to be more precise the 0.01% have always controlled the USA. As John Jay the first Chief Justice said, ‘Those people who own this country are going to run this country’. The nature of these owners has changed however, from WASP industrialists to Jewish financialists, over the decades.
Crosstalk: For all those who were so concerned over a year ago about Putin’s lack of fortitude, you can relax because this man is not taking the b.s. from the West any more. For one:
http://russia-insider.com/en/military/russia-threatens-deploy-ballistic-missiles-retaliation-us-nuclear-escalation/ri9940
and for another: Their ace in the hole is that they legally can and will send troops to Syria if Assad requests it.
These are perilous times because it is in the anglo-american psychology to issue the bluff ( those nukes are not yet in Germany) then test the counter bluff. It is very important the response of the Russians to the test and this will require military intelligence or a tip off. It is certain that the world will sigh with relief upon hearing Putin’s speech at the UN—the madmen are not entirely at the helm these days. Ultimately everything depends on the human factor. Let the Hegemon monsters dream of running their empire with trusty robots! I just wish my religious neighbors would stop babbling about end times and blood moons.
Russians were legally invited by Janukovyc to Ukraine 2 years ago too.
They had the chance to sit him into a tank direction Kiev and letting gather anti-junta troops, enough of pro-russian anti-bandera patriots over there.
Even no need of Strelkov-like militias to advance and cross Dnepr river westwards..
But momentum lost. I do not think they planned and preferred the frozen conflict as it is evolving now.
Naively after all the meddling of USA and EU on Maydan Moscow hoped for diplomatic and win-win solution.
@ no mercy:
True.
Putin himself admitted in an interview (don’t ask me for a link – I caught it on RT at the time. It was one of his official appearances in one Russian Summit or other [I think this one was a Q&A event with young Russian students, but don’t quote me]) so, as I was saying… he admitted in that interview that he personally advised Yanukovych (on a telephone conversation) not to retaliate against the ‘protestors.’ This was at the time when the so-called “peaceful” protestors at the Maidan were getting rather violent, throwing molotovs, and injuring un-armed policemen, sometimes kidnapping them so they could torture them…
Just imagine if he would had said the opposite: Yup, go right ahead; gun-machine the lot of them.
How many innocent people – women, children, elderly – in the Donbass would be still alive today?
Granted, the international PR would be a complete disaster, but just imagine: all those innocent people form the Odessa massacre and the Donbass, now gone, would be still with us now.
-TL2Q
Very true! I thought that at the time.He should have called a “state of emergency” and crushed the fascist elements once and for all.Called on his supporters in the Southeast to mobilize to send supporters to Kiev and stop the traitors from the very first.At that time the military at worst, would have been split, with quite a few loyal to the government.And since the guilt of the US and EU/NATO nations was known even then, (or strongly suspected) he should have expelled their agents from the country at the very start.And imprisoned the local 5th column elements.Certainly the MSM would have attacked him for it.But a leader that actually wants the best for his nation, and his people, does what’s best for them,no matter the cost.But we see now clearly what weakness brings on in a leader.However this disaster of the former Ukraine ends, Yanukovich, will go down in history as the man who lead Ukraine to destruction because of his inaction.
@ Uncle B:
Spot on. Pretty much all you said.
“But a leader that actually wants the best for his nation, and his people, does what’s best for them, no matter the cost.”
That’s the thing though, chances are; Yanukovych, was certainly not a strong leader. He saw the sharks circling him, and he was far more concerned with his own safety than that of his country. Top it all off, aside all the MSM propaganda of Yanukovych being a pro-Russian president (he wasn’t) Putin never really liked him (admitted by Putin himself), so he was alone in the wilderness, on one side he had the entire weight of the Hegemon breathing down his neck, and on the other, he really didn’t have Russian support ( I’m guessing that’s his own doing, btw).
But non of the above retracts from the fact that he was a little coward, who cared more about his own survival than the fate of the nation he was supposed to be looking after.
-TL2Q
RE: tl2q
You don’t remember where you got that “quote” about Putin telling Yanko to go light on the maiden nazis, I remember Putin saying Yanko handed the Ukraine over to the nazis because he did not step on them once they showed their hand. Putin also had no interest in meeting with Yanko after the coup, either.
Something else I remember is you, tl2q defending the je suis Charlie zionazis.
So, I would like to see your source for that Putin quote before I take it seriously.
Hi Vot Tak, I was thinking the same thing buddy…Putin said he had a phone call from Yanukovich who was planning on running away, and Putin said, he wouldn’t have done it, as the leader of a country has the army to call on.
“[..] So, I would like to see your source for that Putin quote before I take it seriously”
The “source” was Putin’s mouth, now either Putin did say that (I don’t speak Russian) or the RT translator did a lousy job and mistranslated him.
But it wouldn’t be the first time Putin puts his foot in his mouth, he also said at the Economic Summit (2014) when interviewed by this obnoxious american journalist that he will recognize the new government of Ukraine (this was before Porko was elected). But he was saying just minutes earlier that was happened in Ukraine was essentially an illegal coup. Committing himself to recognize a government before elections, on live television no less, and before studying under what conditions those elections took place, was a HUGE mistake. This was the same interview where he admitted for the first time the presence of Russian Military boots in Crimea (the polite green men), he even joked to rest of the panel ‘who is this guy!?’ (meaning: the obnoxious yank who was insisting on getting an answer, and was ovbiously starting to get on his nerves).
But go ahead don’t believe that one either even though I’m pretty sure half the world saw it.
-TL2Q
Teranam, I’ve heard that when the moon turns red as blood, it will be generating heat. So throw that one at your neighbors.
Teranam13,
You make a good point that the nukes are not yet in Germany, and the US cd b testing Russian response. It always annoys me that US is actually in violation of non-proliferation treaty by putting ANY category of nuke in another country. US insists it hasn’t violated the treaty merely by extending nukes to another country because that doesn’t count since the nukes remain under US control.
So according to that thinking it wd’ve been OK for Khrushev to station nukes on Cuba, or Russia to put them into Mexico.
I’m also tired of hearing that this is because Americans in general or the ruling class in particular are convinced that they are exceptional. No such thing: They’re plain evil & to conceal it they use every lie & specious argument they can invent.
Sorry. Sometimes I just get tired of being lied to.
The leader of Cross Talk worries me alto as he always moans “here the Americans making another mistake!” He does not seem to understand the policy for Washington is very simple:” Any leader we can buy, is good, leave him in, send him more money!” “Any leader who dis-obeys us, disagrees, we remove him. If we cannot remove him we kill him!” “Chaos is our reason for being!”
@ Majo:
“The leader of Cross Talk worries me alto as he always moans “here the Americans making another mistake!”
To be fair… he moved from the ‘unintended consequences’ mantra (or mistake), to… NO! The US is actually training and arming these crazies.
That’s a considerable improvement if you ask me. All in what? Only a few weeks, a month and a bit at best?
The only thing I have to criticize Peter about is that, for some reason, he’s still pushing the line that Russia proposed an exit to the US [in regards to the Syrian quagmire] a few years ago and then ‘they’ [meaning the US] “walked away” from the deal.
I’m still trying to confirm that, and yes, I did find a number of articles on the matter, but they’re all from devious sources, if anything they all look like a smear campaign to pit Russia as the backstabbers against Syria.
So , I’m really scratching my head on that one. And why Peter insists on bringing it up.
-TL2Q
TooLegit2Quit
Regarding “Russia proposed an exit to the US [in regards to the Syrian quagmire] a few years ago and then ‘they’ [meaning the US] “walked away” from the deal…”
Not knowing what you consider ‘deviant sources’, perhaps a google of e.g. “Finnish Nobel peace prize laureate Martti Ahtisaari Syria” will give a wide selection of sources reporting on the very credible ex Finnish PM’s revelations – in an interview with the Guardian
(That being a right royal rag who have bullhorned the Anglo Ministry of Truth fiction line on Syria from day 1 – so rather surprising that they reported it … unless there is a change in Chatham House strategy).
My crit of Peter is that Anglo Empire DO NOT make mistakes.
What we see as ‘failures’ and ‘mistakes’ are only thus through a moral prism, or if one buys the sales propaganda of their eternal wars to “deliver democracy” / “deliver people from Evil Dictators” blah blah.
Anglo Empire Kakistocrats are Machiavellian in the extreme with zero regard for death, destruction, human suffering, chaos, anarchy …. The fallout never touches their shores.
…. plus the now bottomless pit of demented desperado’s to recruit as their cheap cannon fodder 4th Generational Warfare proxy forces is highly desirable …
(Compare e.g. the elaborate effort made in South African “regime change” transition to that in Iraq : Who in their right mind would implement a sectarian constitution, refuse all Saddams military and state workers including teachers etc any employment .. (WHO employed them?) … walk out leaving a weak military with no air cover (despite planes having been purchased ……. and how Machiavellian was leaving Libya a cesspool of anarchy with some 250 000 reported hired savages shipped in to destroy the nation – which serves as a jihadi & arms clearing house to AFRICOM subsequent wars raging across Africa – and back into Syria-Iraq).
No mistakes at all. Especially not the calculated sequence of Afghanistan-Pakistan .. Iraq-Libya-Syria.
It would surely be a simple matter to cut off the IS funds and close the bank accounts … as whistleblown on by Scott Bennett – who was jailed along with a Swiss banker for trying to report these accounts
Surely a relatively simple matter to cut off the training, most arms and other supplies coming in from Anglo allies Israel, Jordan, Turkey, Saudi .. instead of carving out ‘safe zone’ supply lines nearly closed by the Syrian Kurds.
Surely a simple matter to trace who is paying for the stolen oil – and to sanction them.
I agree,much of what we, from a moral stand-point need to “believe” were “mistakes” were really the “plan” all along.We (as in the World) just find it hard to fathom evil like that in our World.So mentally its easier to assume it was/are “mistakes” instead.
Dee, very good. Love ‘kakistocrats’, and ‘pathocrats’, too. The ultimate purpose of Western geo-politics in the current era is genocide. They intend to exterminate as many ‘useless eaters’ as possible, and the destruction of states is merely a means to that end. Congo is possibly even more of a portent of the future, with US stooges Kagame and Musuveni leading the looting of the fabulous mineral wealth, while various death-squads, trained in psychopathy and terror, ravage the land and exterminate the populace. Societal collapse increases the death-toll, which is thoroughly ignored by the filthy moral monsters of the Western MSM. Chuck in the latest bio-engineered version of ‘Ebola’ or some new zoonosis, and you’ll get some nice real estate stripped of the untermenschen. My theory for some decades has been to imagine the most evil motivations and intentions, and that invariably accurately predicts Western elite behaviour.
@ Dee:
“Not knowing what you consider ‘deviant sources’, perhaps a google of e.g. “Finnish Nobel peace prize laureate Martti Ahtisaari Syria” will give a wide selection of sources reporting on the very credible ex Finnish PM’s revelations [..]”
Ooops, I meant to say “dubious” but yeah, the story is about a conversation between him and Churkin, supposedly. The Kremlin denied it and Churkin didn’t confirm it, or denied it too, I forget now. Usually I bookmark important news/info, I didn’t this one because it didn’t sound credible (the people on the comment section arrived at the same conclusion). But even if the story is true, I would still rather believe it isn’t, since Russia has no business in meddling with Syrian internal political affairs, and brokering a deal between Assad’s government and the so-called opposition at the time (was this back in 2012?), is pretty much meddling in my book.
But you’re correct, I read it at the InformationClearingHouse re-posted from the Guardian, yes.
The rest of your post I totally agree with, you’re right, what the yanks and their partners in crime do is indeed Machiavellian, that’s the right word to use which is one of the ‘Dark Triad’ = a group of three personality traits: narcissism, Machiavellianism and psychopathy. They display all three, btw.
In regards to this episode of Cross Talk, I think they’ve all done reasonably well, but the guy with silver hair was more on the ball than the other two, in my opinion.
-TL2Q
Dee,
I appreciate your conviction that Mr. Ahtisaari is honest in his representation that Russia made an offer for Assad to step aside and the US refused it because they thought he would fall by military means. However, Iran has disclosed that they made a proposition to the Russians that included Assad stepping aside and the Russians refused it.
More essentially, the idea that the disposition of President Assad’s personal role is the stumbling block to peace is entirely deceptive. The reason given by the West as to why “Assad must go” is that he is a dictator. Really! As if the US does not support dictators, and even overthrow democratic regimes in order to impose puppet dictators.
It is documented that the US wishes to replace the ENTIRE govt of Syria, not just
President Assad:
At Geneva I Jeffrey Feltman tried, through trickery, to get the following plan tthrough the UN:
He drew up a plan for the total and unconditional surrender of the Syrian Arab Republic. The sovereignty of the Syrian People must be abolished ; the Constitution must be revoked ; the President must be relieved of his duties ; the Peoples’ Assembly must be dissolved ; 120 Syrian leaders must be arrested and judged and convicted ; the Direction of Military Intelligence, the Direction of Political Security and the Direction of General Security must be decapitated or dissolved ; the « political prisoners » must be freed and the anti-terrorist courses must be stopped.
Btw, concerning the death of Lebanon’s Hariri:
Jeffrey Feltman also attempted to convict the Presidents of Lebanon and Syria, Emile Lahoud and Bachar el-Assad, on the basis of paid, false testimony, but the accusations collapsed once the truth was known. Mr. Feltman continues to work against Syria and Iran in his new post.

An Indonesian based political commentator says the recent remarks made by high ranking US officials suggest a new effort is under way to pressure Russia into embracing America’s “incoherent” and “contradictory policies on Syria.”
Barry Grossman, an international lawyer based on the Indonesian island of Bali, made the remarks in a phone interview with Press TV on Friday while commenting on US officials’ statements over Russia’s assistance to the Syrian government.
Echoing similar remarks made recently by UK and European officials, US State Department spokesman John Kirby said on Thursday that the Russian military build-up in Syria “appears to be an effort to continue to prop up the Assad regime.”

Thanks for the article. It is good to see The Saker mentioned and quoted. However I am dubious about quoting Debka – which is a misinformation site:
“According to the news site, DEBKA.file, said to be a conduit for Israeli military and Mossad intelligence, at the end of August Russia’s Putin proposed to Israel for Moscow to undertake responsibility for guarding Israel’s Mediterranean gas fields, along with the offer of a Russian investment of $7-10 billion for developing Leviathan, the largest well, and building a pipeline to Turkey for exporting the gas to Europe.”A multibillion Russian investment in the field would make it a Russian project which neither Syria nor Hizballah would dare attack, even though it belongs to Israel,”

Ukrainian press is running wild today with stories about Motorola, beheader of 15 Ukrainian prisoners of war, having been captured in Syria.
The US (not to mention its minions) has no moral authority on Earth. It does not matter which forked tongue politician eventually bubbles to the surface of the political cesspool of the US in the next election, nor how much deceitful blather the US media purveys to its mushroom troops (fed on sh*t and kept in the dark), nor how many dollars the Fed prints for its patrons, the only authority the US will have in the future is whatever comes out of the barrels of its guns. (And if those guns are hacked, the US will have no authority on Earth whatsoever! Quel domage.)
It will only regain its virtue by repentance and repayment for all the destruction it has caused. Maybe Putin in his speech will offer it an olive branch: it is possible for the US to redeem itself by working together with those who are sincere in their desire for peace. Russia now holds the moral high ground, and its position does not need explanation, it is self-evident to anyone who cares to study it.
Meanwhile I hope the SAA roasts every last one of the monkey rat cockroaches in their dens (I’m laughing but I sense the pain of the Syrian people, the psychos do not deserve to live on and neither do their backers). There are still other wars and struggles to come for the suffering Earth, but the healing can begin any time.
David, it does raise a very troubling moral question. I’m utterly against capital punishment, but what do you do with the evil psychopaths of the USA’s latest death-squad army? The leaders will run away to sanctuary in Saudi Arabia or Israel (like the ‘South Lebanese Army’ scum)but what to do with the low-level psycho head-lopping vermin? Lock them up for life, I suppose, but where, and at whose expense. If they ever escape, they are almost certain to return to murder and horror.
How about these ideas for dealing with the takfiris and their allies:
– Put them to work as grave diggers for burring their victims and comrades. The more they need to stare on the remains of death people, the better they will know what awaits them if they fall back to murder and looting.
– Put them to demine and reconstruct the country.
– Force them to learn reading and to read and understand the entire Koran as primary condition to an eventual release after expiry of their imprisonment.
Mulga & Marcel, I don’t have the answer, the pool is too deep for me — maybe it is a question for the men in the turbans to answer. I would be too full of the need for revenge, and then at the last minute I would let the bastards off, and so on. I wonder what the women would say?
David, I aired just ideas.
If you want physical revenge, you will have to kill them in the same way they murdered people. That will pull you down to their level of evil. What I proposed would inflict a psychological revenge to them, force them to rebuild what was destroyed, and hopefully educate them to the point that they will hate themselves for the atrocities done.
The real jihad is the mental struggle with the beast inside oneself. If these murderers ever will take up fake jihad again, they deserve to be killed on the spot.

So Obama Wants Talks With Putin On Syria?
TND Guest Contributor: Finian Cunningham
After more than a year of demonising Russia as a threat to world peace, all of a sudden the United States changes tack and wants to hold talks with Moscow over Syria. US President Barack Obama and his Russian counterpart Vladimir Putin are set to hold talks in New York on the sidelines of the UN General Assembly meeting. The leaders will meet on Monday, 28 September, authorities from both the countries have confirmed. What a change from Obama’s churlish tantrums towards the Russian president!

This article I read,puts in simple terms what needs to be done to end the refugee crisis,”and” the war in Syria.But as the article says,it doesn’t fit the political “agenda” of the West to do it.So hopefully,Russia and her allies will take the burden on themselves to solve this problem:
“The refugee crisis in Europe could be easily solved. The problem is that the real solution would not suit the the political establishment of the United States or Western Europe. We’ve distilled what needs to be done down to 5 simple steps.”
1.Stop funding and arming rebel groups attempting to overthrow the Syrian government. It’s well established that these weapons have been ending up in the hands of ISIS and its affiliates. This has caused nothing but chaos and destruction. Money being funneled into these shady operations should be immediately redirected to an intensive reconstruction effort.
2.Pressure Turkey and Jordan to cut off ISIS supply routes, and impose sanctions on any country facilitating the sale of oil from IS territory or allowing funds or materials to reach them. No army can function if their supply chain is broken. It’s not an accident these routes start at the Turkish and Jordanian borders.
3.Support the Syrian government. An entire year of U.S. airstrikes in Syria have utterly failed to destroy or even significantly weaken ISIS. Of course this is because the real strategy isn’t to bring ISIS down, but rather to contain them and allow them to weaken Assad gradually. If Washington really wanted to stop this group, they would take a hint from Russia and provide the Syrian government with weapons, training and logistical support to enable them to push ISIS back. This means Washington and its allies would have to officially abandon all plans for a forced regime change. They might not like Assad, but the majority of the citizens of Syria support him. In fact he has more support within his country than Obama or the U.S. congress have in America. And at various intervals he’s had more support than Congress and Obama combined. Any government installed after a U.S. backed regime change will be viewed as a puppet government, and will therefore lack the legitimacy needed to stabilize the region. If you need evidence of this, just look at Afghanistan or Iraq.
4.Provide direct assistance to rebuild housing, infrastructure and businesses destroyed by the conflict. In the short term temporary refugee camps should be set up in areas outside of the conflict zone, and food and medical supplies shipped in on a regular basis. Yes this will cost money, but so has the five year regime change push that created the problem in the first place.
5.Return the refugees to these stabilized regions. It is in no one’s interest to flood Europe with masses of unemployed refugees. Doing so will only lead to heightened tensions and will strengthen xenophobic movements. These people don’t need to be transplanted into the ghettos of Europe, they need their homes back.

Thank you Taha, good info (if true of course, to be seen).
this is the best crosstalk I’ve ever seen…Peter is so enthused that he’s stumbling over his words.
I’m actually not completely knowledgeable about what’s happened in the past 24 hours….the States has asked Putin’s advice ?
Anyway, I love his guests…Daniel McAdams is my very favorite guy….what a sweetie and I also love both of the other guests…one so calm and cool and one so Arabic…with big soft eyes….nice.
Uncle Bob..and all …. so you’re always giving great music video links…check out this one…

Debka appears to be telling the truth for once, as the Chinese ship was reported by others as transitting Suez on the 22nd.:
“Chinese aircraft carrier Liaoning-CV-16 docked at the Syrian port of Tartus, accompanied by a guided missile cruiser.
“Russian-Syria-Iranian “military coordination cell” in Baghdad in the last couple of days.”
So I’m going to hold my nose & give you the link:

Putin’s attempts to put together a broad coalition to destroy the Western-created ISIS should not include the US for obvious reasons of perfidy and malevolence. Here in the ridiculous ‘Dominion of Canada’, an official ‘Assad must go’ phenomenon is still very much alive, even by the opposition New Democratic Party, who promises, if elected in the upcoming October general elections, to pull Canada out of the US ‘coalition’ that’s been bombing ISIS without effect, because they fear this strengthens Assad. Like Stephen Harper, they are also staunch supporters of Israel and the US-installed Ukronazi oligarchy in Kiev. Beam me up Scotty there’s definitely no intelligent life in Canadian foreign policy.
Re: http://journal-neo.org/2015/09/22/washington-has-now-lost-the-middle-east/
1. New nukes in Germany: symbolic at best and perhaps a minor advantage with delivery time to Moscow. The main thrust is clearly to ensure Germany is a target and keep them in the game on NATO’s leash.
2. Refugee exodus: Very likely a long planned escape strategy for the fake ISIS BlackWater Gang triggered by early intel on Russian intent and moves. Spook the crowd and melt in with fake Syrian passports on the overland route back to the desk job in ‘wherever’ after the end of the season’s ME hunting season for psychopaths. The Russian’s are coming! … back to mommy…
3. Zionist Apartheid ‘state’ of Israel: the criminal nut jobs may well play footsy with DC but the Kremlin is another matter. They are fast being cornered as the rats they are in the land of Palestine and it is likely to loose them the Golan Heights and other occupied borderlands to Russian/Collective Security Treaty Organisation (CSTO) — a UN ‘Peace keeping’ mission in principle with S-500 capacities to play the ‘cop’ which the boy-wonder Obama could only have wet dreams over. And to boot the Zionist backside again, not only has Putin just invited the presidents of Turkey and Palestine (yes, Palestine’s Abbas!) to the opening of the Cathedral Mosque in Moscow, but he has also seemingly engineered two Russian equipped and supported ‘pre-owned’ Mistral carriers positioned in Egypt — the land of the Sphinx AND the land of the Suez Canal (which has, like a stick, two ends to defend) — most likely carrying a nest of that nasty flying beast the Ka-52 Alligator Attack Helicopter (see https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t3O801sVuVo ).
4. China: Continuing from (3), again, a situation the Chinese navy (&Iran) will probably appreciate as they pivot to the Med for business-as-usual and perhaps some cooperation on offshore gas business with Russia, Syria, Turkey, Egypt and likely Israel (& Palestine and even Gaza — the next HK if they get the blood sucking vampires off their body collective). The next Chinese port in the Med: old Tartus, or new Latakia?
5. We know the Zionist state is quietly desperate and sniffing the wind when a minor story emerges of some recent ‘discovery’ of an alleged 3,000 year old artifact from King Solomon (or whom ever) recently discovered by a — that’s right! — young Russian boy. This is Hollywood at its best! Next it will be the ‘Lost Arc …! “Sorry, Temple 3.0 zealots, Al-Aqsa Mosque is safe, dudes!” (Putin The Great).
6. Belarus: they get to close their borders so not even ‘a rat’ can get through from the disintegrating Ukraine Nazi regime heading into a cold winter (& just a little short of the gas needed to keep everyone home and happy) AND they get a new Russian base to help the economic bottom line. We can bet Berlin is now just that little bit closer to the delivery of you-know-whats.
7. Kurdistan may emerge from all this, but one thing is clear, the US’s time in the ME is fading fast and the de-clawing is now in process. The Plains of Syria have been won (in all but the mopping up) and it is Russian/Chinese (read SCO with Iran & Pakistan and India) which holds the future ‘responsible’ governance role on all things energy and infrastructure ‘protection’ etc.
8. If/when this all pops then gold may or may not be a safe haven from the $USD meltdown (the Yelling Lady has coughed her Fed speech up) … but one thing is highly likely, the price of heroine on the streets of USA and Europe will go through the roof if the CIA’s little Afghan business model is closed down. Whether sanity returns after the punch bowl is removed is another question, but anything which increases the possibility of the return of the function of remorse which this drug suppresses can only be good for peace.
9. Putin has already done his “95 Thesis” — the reformation is one — he just has to nail the speech on the UN door next week.
Seat belts on….
Fabulous comment, Rope a mystic dope…although you have a weird name…
Ok, I give up … I’ll use this … perhaps “Nobody” is more apt when dealing with the one-eyed monster …. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polyphemus
Larchmonter445 to note.
(btw, “one” should obviously be “won” in (9.)
The feeling one gets through all the murderous decisions US/NATO have taken in Syria and else in the middle east, is that the demise of the US/NATO is happening very quickly. The US/Nato allies seem like a frantic entity trying to survive all its mistakes, yet continue to drown in their wrong thought out decisions.
