Russia is not our Enemy.

In a previous Post I said this:

In the days before the UN resolution authorizing the no fly zone in Libya, the Russian Foreign minister stated that if the USA pursued the no fly zone concept as regards Libya, the Russians would veto it in the Security Council. Instead, the Russians merely abstained. However, soon after the NATO aggression against Libya began, Putin stated that the attacks against Libya were barbaric and reminiscent of the Crusades. However, the President of Russia disagreed and Putin shut up. It is noteworthy that Secretary Gates visited Russia before the UN resolution. It is frightening to think that the world may need to depend upon Russia and a veto in the UN Security Council for protection of the rights of sovereign States. After all, it was the Russians who after WW II were the criminal aggressors against Poland, Czech, etc. All during those terrible Cold War years the USA constantly invoked the concept of the Sovereign Nation State in order to counter the criminal occupation of the Eastern Block nations. However, now the USA under Obama’s New World Order ideas, is the aggressor and maybe occupier of another sovereign nation! Russia has murmured on the side lines since Putin was forced to shut up. However, the future of the free world may depend upon a former communist dictatorship and not in the USA. It seems like the Pres. and the Admin. are willing to bomb and destroy the armed forces of another country all the while declaring that the bombs and cruise missiles and other brutal military weapons are the agents of peace and harmony protecting the so called civilians from bad bad Gaddalfi.

Today (Oct, 2015) we witness another in the strange interpretation of the world put forward by the Obama administration. In the past few weeks, the Russians have send military supplies, weapons and ammunition to the Assad government of Syria. Please note, that this is a legal government to legal government transfer of assets. While people may not like either Assad or Putin, they are the legal leaders of their sovereign nations. Both nations are recognized by at least 105 nations as legal governments. Both are full member nations of the United Nations. However, the Obama government states that supplying the Assad government with the ability to defend itself against terrorist ISIS and US backed insurrectionists is illegal.

However, the USA finds nothing wrong with arming, supplying, training and providing millions of dollars to hundreds of insurrectionists. Please note, that if a person is armed and proposes to lead an insurrection against the Obama government in the USA, that person will be arrested and if found guilty, is liable to execution. If that same person is employed by a foreign government to overthrow the Obama administration, he is called a State terrorist. If he is a free lance US citizen attempting to overthrow the US government, he is a traitor. But, according to the Obama government, none of this applies to those we use to overthrow the Assad government.

Today this author read the responses of Marco Rubio and Caryl Fiorino to the Russian airforce warning to USA air planes over Syria to not interfere with them. The USA planes have been bombing Syria for months. The claim is that our bombing is okay because we are only bombing ISIS and have the permission of the Assad government. (Strange that we use the approval of the Assad government to defend ourselves against charges of criminal aggression!) Anyway, Rubio, and Fiorino think that we should tell the Russians that there are serious repercussions including our shooting at their planes because they warned us to stay away as they bomb ISIS. I hope they and Ted Cruz are not suggesting that we fire against Russian military jets operating over Syrian airspace with the Assad government’s permission. Such an action would clearly be an act of war and indicates that we are willing to fight the Russians as they attempt to destroy ISIS.

Have we forgotten that by jet we are fourteen hours away from Syria? Have we forgotten that Russia has a treaty of mutual assistance with Syria? Have we forgotten that Russia is a hugely powerful nuclear weapon-ed nation?

This writer exposed the danger of the so called Arab Spring proposed by Obama. Since then we have suffered through our acts of criminal aggression against Libya. We have witnessed our subversive covert operations in Egypt toppling our ally Mubarak and installing a Muslim Brotherhood terrorist leader in his place. We agonized over the attack on our embassy in Benghazi and the murder of ambassador Stevens. During all this time the Obama government has persisted in its supply, funding, and training of insurrectionists in Syria. ISIS has risen although the Obama government insists on the name ISIL which is a tacit approval of their legitimacy as a government. This ISIS is now being rumored to be an undercover agency of the French, British, and American governments as they attempt to reassert European colonial imperialism in the Middle East.

By the way, did you read that USA is supplying weapons, training anti aircraft and anti missile defense systems to Ukraine? Whatever you think of problems between Ukraine and Russia, please consider that our actions there are the same as Khrushchev supplying missiles to Castro. It is the same as IF the Russians supplied the same weapons to Mexico and aimed them at us.

The only person who is talking reasonably is Senator Rand Paul. He wants the USA to stop interfering in the internal affairs of independent sovereign nations. He wants us to allow people within a region to determine their own affairs. He wants us to stop beating the drums of war every time we are opposed by anyone. He wants us to use the power of diplomacy and meaningful cooperation and collaboration to solve the problems that occur. He does not want the US government to fall victim to a man versus man contest between Obama’s pride and Putin’s pride. When he says this he is talking from a position of strength because he will not equivocate and cave in at every opportunity. Rather, he will stand fast and use what we must, but only if it is absolutely a “must” situation.

Russia is Friend of Syrian Peace

http://news.yahoo.com/start-something-big-russia-pulls-hundred-citizens-syria-155610519.html

The rebels are armed by secret USA, British and French arms shipments. Look at map, These three nations are very far away from Syria. Russia is right next door. So the Russians are rightfully more interested in Syria than the rest. The talk on these pages is as though the cold war was not over. What do all those without sons and daughters in our military want…More war? The Russians have been very clear. Stop the secret arming of the rebels. Stop the millions of dollars of pay to the rebels. Stop trying to overthrow the government of Syria by international State sponsored terrorism, which is what such funding and arming of the rebels actually is, Then the Russians will support transition from Assad and international UN sponsored free elections in Syria. From the beginning, it has been the Russians who have pursued peace. The NATO allies, France, Britain and USA have pursued war. First, we helped overthrow our ally Mubarak, than Gaddafi, and now Assad. If Russia tried to overthrow the governments of Mexico, Costa Rica, and Panama, we would be screaming about it, rattling our swords and threatening World War. The way to stop the terrible bloodshed is for USA to affirm our commitment to peace. If USA State sponsored terrorism against Syria was stopped, the rebels would retreat. The Assad Regime would stop defending itself. The people would live and many innocent children would be ensured parents into the future.

Kofi Annan and Peace

http://news.yahoo.com/annan-meet-assad-seeking-end-syria-violence-002653949.html The question asked in this article is “Can Kofi Annan” broker a peace in Syria?” My answer is an unequivocal yes. However, there are conditions and they are the following:

1. Foreign elements such as the CIA and the British and French Spy agencies must stop fomenting the continued unrest in Syria.

2. Russia and especially Vladimir Putin must be consulted and approve any deal.

3. Iran must be consulted and included in all back door negotiations for a settlement.

4. The legal government of Syria under Assad must be respected and affirmed by the UN as the legal government of Syria.

5. The violent and armed insurgency must be disavowed, disarmed and dissolved by its foreign sponsors.

6. The legal government under Assad must be publicly, and I repeat the word “publicly” engaged and publicly guaranteed legal and legitimate means for resolution of the conflict under Syrian law.

7. The so-called Syrian National Council, which is a surrogate for France and Britain must be disavowed and required to dissolve.

8. China must be constantly consulted and included in the ongoing negotiations for the sovereignty of Syria.

9. USA, Britain and France must publicly affirm their recognition of the legal Assad government in Damascus.

10. NATO must publicly announce that it is not even entitled to intervene in the affairs of the sovereign State of Syria.

11. Turkey, as a member State of NATO must refuse to continue harboring enemies of the Syrian government such as recently defected Generals.

12. Tribal leaders, (for lack of a better “Western” term) must be included as integral to any internal agreement between the government of Syrian and the International community.

13. In the event of free and internationally monitored elections, the monitors must disavow beforehand the prejudiced and inaccurate statements of election fraud which, for instance, were routinely issued after the election of Vladimir Putin.

I recognise that the 13 conditions place all of the burden on the West respecting the sovereign integrity of the Syrian government of President Assad. But this is the only legitimate and realistic way to end the outside influenced insurgency and restore peace and tranquility to Syria. And let me end by emphasis on the central and key role of Russia, China and Turkey. As for England and France, they are former Imperialist Colonial powers and their hands are already bloody because of their brutal pursuit of Western Imperialism in Libya. And the USA? We should be foremost in favor of national sovereignty as reflected by our own revolution against colonial Imperial England in 1776. And we should be for non-interference as reflected by our Federal position during our own Civil War, (or War of Northern Aggression) in 1865. The fact that we abandoned these policies in 1875 versus Mexico and in 1898 versus Spain and in 1917 versus the Axis is merely evidence of our own growth as an international imperial power. WW II is an entirely different story. And Vietnam, Iraq and Afghanistan are exceptionalism adventures, to say the least.

Yes, Kofi Annan can restore peace, to a war ravaged Syria. However, this writer believes that the adventurism of the USA government is already undermining his efforts. And I believe that the robust colonial imperialism displayed by France under Sarkozy and England under Cameron, is not likely to dissipate. Therefore, the goodly people of Syria, like the countries of Egypt, and Libya will be the unwitting dupes of the internationalist aspirations of USA Obama, Frances’s Sarkozy and England’s Cameron. A very sad commentary indeed.

Assad’s Syria Learned Not to Trust Obama and USA

Syria’s Assad may be a Dictator but he is not a fool. He knows better than to trust the USA and especially a USA under Obama. The USA had a deal with Libya and with Gaddafi and we reneged on the deal. The USA proposed to bring Gaddafi back onto the international scene in return for his giving up terrorism. He did. But we did not honor our promise. We told him we would sponsor his return to a recognized place in the world political order, if he would abandon any attempt at nuclear weapons. He did. But we reneged on the deal and branded him a criminal. We promised to lift trade restrictions and to resume normal relationships with Libya and Gaddafi if he would invest more in his country and less in himself. He did and instead, we betrayed him in the UN and attacked his new cities, his roads, building, TV stations, radio facilities, etc. In every instance where the USA made promises to Libya and Gaddafi under President Bush, the Obama regime reversed course and played Judas betraying every single promise made.

Well Assad, has eyes to see and ears to hear. He has a much stronger military and a much stronger hold on power. He does not trust the West and has ample reason for refusing to cooperate. He just looks to Egypt and sees the long time ally of USA, Hosni Mubarak, who was betrayed by USA and is now in a prison cage, like some sick monkey. Then he looks to Libya, whose country is in ruins, not because of Gaddafi, but because of months of daily bombing by UN condoned and NATO supplied attack bombers, and missiles.

The Obama support for this illegal and criminal war of aggression is disgraceful. The Congress must immediately stop all funding for this “oil war” which is severely hurting the Libyan people because they continue to support their legal government. Further, the Senators, like Mc Cain and Kerry who support this terrible colonialist imperialist war, should look at their own record and retract their war mongering support for this war of aggression. Lastly, the Departments of Defense and State should be warned by the whole Congress that the legally elected Representatives of the American people are not going to idly condone the misuse of America military assets, power, personnel and money in support of this egregious assault against the civilian population of Libya. And then, when we have rebuilt what we have destroyed, maybe in ten years or so, then we can be trusted again. After all, who can trust a liar?
