Diplomatic dumpster fire
Yes, five countries in one headline, and this is a serious fact-checked Reuters story:
"Israel is lobbying the United States to keep Syria weak and decentralised, including by letting Russia keep its military bases there to counter Turkey's growing influence in the country, four sources familiar with the efforts said. [...] The lobbying points to a concerted Israeli campaign to influence U.S. policy at a critical juncture for Syria, as the Islamists who ousted Bashar al-Assad try to stabilise the fractured state and get Washington to lift punishing sanctions.Israel communicated its views to top U.S. officials during meetings in Washington in February and subsequent meetings in Israel with U.S. Congressional representatives, three U.S. sources and another person familiar with the contacts said."
This shows a number of things, namely an extremely cosy relationship between Israel and Russia, as well as the obvious expectation that many American politicians would welcome Russian participation and would be happy to give favours to Russia. If so, why?
Meanwhile Turkey looks like it is opposed to an axis of Israel, America, and Russia, while at the same time it is giving increasing support to Ukraine and becoming more closely aligned with European interests.
Not sure if the "geniuses" currently occupying the White House will be able to keep up with even a fraction of this.
Yeah, but Zelinsky called JD Vance a "suka", which is bitch in Russian and didn't wear a suit in the oval office.
ReplyDeletePlus something about minerals.
Aren't pro-Russia people anti-Zionists? Wuh-oh!
If Zelinsky really called JD Vance a suka, it was more than deserved. As for the suit thing, it was very petty. No one said a thing to Musk when he was in this dear oval office dressed like he just survived the collpase of the soviet union, and no one is ever going to say something to saudi or qatari royals for being dressed like medieval goat enthusiasts during their state visits. A low shot and a total lack of class from Trump and his goons that further ridicules this administration !
DeleteThe Dissident Right in American (and increasingly Farage supporters here in Britain) love to claim "there's no money for hurricane relief in North Carolina, but plenty for "funding Ukraine"". Which clearly points to a pro-Israel/pro-Russian Duginist axis, as those self-same Trumpublicans would never criticise aid to Israel!
