Unveiling “Western” Hypocrisy Russia Connects Syria And Ukraine
A few days ago we read this:
Australia, Luxembourg, and Jordan are planning to circulate a new U.N. Security Council resolution that diplomats say would authorize the delivery of humanitarian aid into Syria through four border crossings without approval from President Bashar Assad’s government.
…
Diplomats familiar with the draft said it is under Chapter 7 of the U.N. Charter, which means it could be enforced militarily. It would authorize humanitarian access at three crossings from Turkey and one from Iraq.
…
Some diplomats doubt Russia would approve a new humanitarian resolution under Chapter 7, but they say it could be a bargaining chip in negotiations.
That “bargaining chip” is worth nothing. Russia will veto any Chapter 7 resolution on Syria. There is nothing to bargain about that. But using that “bargaining chip” is now firing back.
For June Russia will be take up the presidency of the UN Security Council which allows it, to a certain extend, to set the agenda. The first point on that agenda is now the question of “human corridors” from Russia into east-Ukraine:
Russia will submit a draft resolution to the U.N. Security Council on Monday calling for an immediate end to worsening violence in Ukraine and the creation of humanitarian corridors in the east of the country, Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said.
…
[The draft resolution] will also include “a demand for the creation, without delay, of humanitarian corridors though which peaceful civilians could leave combat zones if they wish,” he said. The text would also call for guarantees of unhindered access for humanitarian aid.
“Now how about a Chapter 7 clause for that?” Lavrov will ask his colleagues.
Russia is actively linking the cases of Syria and Ukraine. That may not bring any progress on either issue. But by connecting the cases Russia can publicly demonstrated the utter hypocrisy of “western” policies. The target of this is the “western” public which is already against further “western” meddling in Syria as well as in Ukraine. I expect more such political “mirroring” of the two situations in the coming weeks and month.
This morning the Kiev regime sent jets and bombed the regional administration building in Luhansk which had been taken over by federalists. At least five people were killed. This is another escalation by Kiev and the puppet players behind the regime with the larger intend to openly draw Russia into a fight with NATO. Moscow will not fall for the bait.

“You add entirely new dimensions to the word “jerk.”
Ah, shucks, sugarplum. I guess asking you for a blowjob is out of the question then? 😉
“As to Amin’s actual article, despite his guilt by association with people who don’t like Gilad Atzmon, it is well worth reading.”
There are several problems with the MR smearing and attempt to “cherem” Atzmon out of public existence. First off, like you do when you smear somebody, bevin, they took things he wrote and said out of context, misrepresented what he wrote/said and simply lied about what he wrote/said and invented what meant out of perversity.
Second, and this point you will never get, bevin, there is a huge difference between disagreeing with someone’s POV and trying to prevent them saying it and others from hearing it. The former being normal, the latter being totalitarian censorship. Most people would understand that, bevin, but, practicing such censorious behavior here regularly, and probably everywhere else you and your gang of “anti-zionist zionists” (Atzmon’s term for you) phoney leftists spam, you see such actions as your God given right over the “untermenschen”.
As for the Amin article, it’s on point through most of it. But when he gets to this part, the article goes south:
“But this positive Russian “international policy” is bound to fail if it is not supported by the Russian people. And this support cannot be won on the exclusive basis of “nationalism,” even a positive progressive — not chauvinistic — brand of “nationalism,” a fortiori not by a “chauvinistic” Russian rhetoric. Fascism in Ukraine cannot be challenged by Russian fascism. The support can be won only if the internal economic and social policy pursued promotes the interests of the majority of the working people.”
That and what follows is your basic lecture by somebody looking in from the outside who has little or no direct experience of the people he presumes to lecture. While such an “I’m here to show you ignorant plebes how it is done” attitude sits well with you, bevin, and your totalitarian, “father knows best”, one size fits all, понты вычурные “I am God worship me” attitude, all it does is inflate the ego of the lecturer. Had Amin stopped right before that quoted paragraph, the article would have been a worthwhile endeavor, but he ruined it by his insulting, presumptuous lecturing at the end. It was quite clear to me the man is clueless about Russia and Russians and was just engaging in masturbating his own ego – very much like you consistently, bevin. It was probably reading that lecturing at the end that caused such a strong, positive reaction from you. 😉
(BTW, bevin, one of the few things Sorrentine writes that I find myself fully in agreement with, is his characterization of your defects. I think he has what makes you tick nailed to the floor.)
