"The attacks in Syria undermined the tacit agreement the Russians had with the Israelis..."

Now that really is funny! The Russian decision-makers are realists, and the odds that they trust the Israelis are similar to the odds of dealing a hand of 12 aces from a regular pack. The Israelis are the only people who are even less trustworthy than the Americans - because they deem all Gentiles subhuman, and who feels it necessary to deal honestly with a chicken or a beetle?

Beetles will survive after humans are gone.

Interesting reading.. Thanks Julian.

I mostly watch Economists now -Jeffrey Sachs my hero.

From my point of view (crashing through all this news/hype etc).

1. America/Europe have lost this war with Ukraine. Finish.

2. IF Ukraine is NOT made a neutral state the war will go on until the US runs out of weapons. I read and read about the sub-par intelligence in the USA. Do they have people who can actually make weapons? No. The education system has done nothing vis a vis education. They are too busy abusing Universities of people who have great minds.

Here in France we have Americans coming here in droves.

I remember big brains leaving the UK when Thatcher got in in the UK.

Now all these supporter of Palestine are moving.

3. Does the US/UK/Europe realise what is happening in the world? NO.

4. I suspect that BRICS (although it is NOT much reported on MSM (Mainstream Media) is having a SUBSTANTIAL economical effect.

DO Americans know about BRICS?

5. I don't know what is going to happen/nor do thinking people who know about the Middle East.

6. Is Iran (despite the sanctions put on them by the USA)the new powerhouse?'

7. It seems to me that the UK will be destroyed.....meddling in affairs FOR the USA?

8. EVERY country which has been sanctioned by the West has turned away.

9. Possibly Americans are now the most HATED people in the world?

10.Bring on your defunct weapons USA and learn to live with war that you have perpertrated in the world. NOTHING has happened to you yet while other countries have starved/died in the name of Democracy which you have not had for years.

Propaganda. I am on many websites. I hear people (especially asking what they can do).

I have a simplistic answer: PROTEST outside your lying MSMedia. Make these 'liars' feel uncomfortable going to work.

It seems that none of us 'ordinary' people who care and only want peace are being systematically destroyed.

I always found the education system a necessary evil – meaning, I knew that certificates and degrees gave me opportunities that I might not otherwise have. But to get those certificates and degrees, you had to conform. "Imposter Syndrome" for those of us outside the box.

But you haven't conformed?

For the tapeworm- go to McDowells Herbal in Australia- they treat humans, horses, dogs and cats naturopathically. They should be able to help you. Giving ‘modern’ medicine can degrade the immune system and make it harder to expel the worm. I only ever treated my horses and dogs naturopathically unless it was an emergency or surgery. I never ‘vaccinated’ my dogs. They were fit and healthy. The last one live to 19 and a half. Good luck.

Wow! Over 19 for doggies is very good! Thank you for the information – I will give it a try.

The "American President" has been a rubber stamp to all of this for decades. Governments have a dual role: run domestic affairs and *pretend* they are functioning like states while at the same time they are working for international mafia and legitimising crimes. The state was there as a legitimate use of power by nations. Now state bodies are there to legitimate the mafia.

The President is a monarch by another name. Recently, each one "Mad George" redux.

It is a long horrific story. Short (very short):

After 9/11 The US fight against "Terrorists" started.

And from the fall of Gaddafi in Libya in 2011, the US-money streamed to Turkey, who supported the various "Islamists" in Syria to overthrow Assad, with support from Arab Nations and Israel..

The name of those inhuman animals changed all the time "Al_Qaeda", IS, ISIS and more, but they were paid by CIA and trained & Supported from Turkey.

ISIS invaded Iraq and obtained by treason (US+Iraqi Traitors) Gold and Weapons.

But they made the mistake that they could win with support of Turkey, by paying them with Oil from Syria and opposed the US. So US started to chase ISIS.

Ultimately they lost the very Bloody war against the US in Iraq, with help from Iran (General Qasem Soleimani, later assassinated by Trump).

Russia started supporting Assad in Syria, by bombing the Oil-Transports (theft) from Syria and supporting Assad to hunt the ISIS-Jihadists with Wagner-group and their Airforce (they received an Airbase and Naval base from Assad). The US fought against ISIS (and Turkey) too.

The end until now is that the Kurds in Iraq got US on their side (they have a airbase there), living more or less in a ceasefire with the Bagdad government.

The Kurds in NE Syria too, but those now know the US could drop them any time, so they are trying to appease Assad.

Türkiye stopped supporting IS and other Jihadists because of their choosing sides with Russia opposing the US-NATO, that tried to kill Erdogan and start a regime change, that failed because of Russia warning him just before he flew back to Istanbul on a fighter jet that was targetted by the Turkish traitors + US. That is the main reason Erdogan joined (more or less) Putin, he saved his live.

There is much more, but this gives an idea...
