Neither NK or Iran is a walk-over. One place is fanatically devoted, the other place is 90 million Persians, divided, but very nationalistic. Good luck, Fukus.
You will loose that one,….. again. Fukus is bankrupt, both morally and economically. I entice to armed rebellion in the FUKUS, They do that, in other places , so why cant I call for it in the robber baronies?
The French will tumble, who cares about the UK, rainy useless piece of shit, only the US left, with massive amounts of firearms abundant, call to arms people go for freedom!!

Spreading disinformation to accuse Russia to distribute it is what Western media like to do. Recently found another example, at the intercept.
Some Mackey claims: “Poddubnyy also revealed that his interview with the boy and his father had not been recorded in Douma, but in Damascus, the Syrian capital, near the Dama Rose hotel. When asked directly if the piece had been filmed on the grounds of the Syrian Army Officers Club, which is next door to that hotel, Poddubnyy said that it had not. However, that appears to have been a lie.” And a long detective of crowd-sourced search reveals that lie.
The facts are simple: The interview has been made in the front garden of a house which has some officer’s club inside, located on a main street at the center of Damascus. The front garden is open access, inside the house is some officer’s club with access restricted to officers. So, formally a lie, given that this garden is somehow “on the ground of the officer’s club”, not? Let’s see the evidence, which has been, at least, linked here
“Robert Mackey: Was your interview shot at the Officers Club?”
“Evgeny Poddubnyy: … No, I do not have a badge to the Officers club. I’m a reporter.”
I’m not a native speaker, Poddubnyy too, maybe in English “at” means “on the ground”? Even if – it is clear from the answer that Poddubnyy has interpreted the “at” as “inside”, and answered, no, not inside, I have no badge to go inside. And even if one, possibly, interpret the “at” as “on the ground”, it was not what was asked. And the part of the answer which revealed that Poddubnyy has misunderstood this as meaning “inside” was omitted. So, distort the question a little bit, and the answer a little bit, and then cry “liar”.

The vicious neoconservative think-tanker Reuel Marc Gerecht has been given space in The Atlantic this week to ruminate on what should follow from a pullout from the Iranian nuclear agreement. No surprise, he sees it as just the initial step in a proposed sustained effort to assert complete American hegemony in the region. The strategic proposition includes: full spectrum sanctions on Iran’s economy; bombing strikes on Iran’s military facilities; no-fly zone directed at Russian and Iranian aircraft in southern and eastern Syria; interdiction of all Iranian air and ground transport into Syria; renewed effort to topple Assad using Kurds and terrorists; “bunker” US forces in Iraq and promote political forces hostile to Iran in that country; “deploy a serious covert-action program” (i.e. assassinations and sabotage) in Iran directed at Revolutionary Guard and scientific establishment; trigger regime change in Iran.
It is certainly indicative of how debased establishment thinking has become in the USA that a blueprint for massive international crimes can be presented by The Atlantic as simply one side of a “debate”. Gerecht seems to believe that the American people themselves are desirous of a complete war mobilization comparable to that of WW2, so to “solve the problem” once and for all. Of course, Gerecht probably has not spoken to an “average American” in decades. But this is a real problem in America – an intellectual tendency which is not only always wrong but openly batshit crazy remains prominent in the higher circles of power.

The US only dreams about hypersonic missiles, Russia already has them …plus they have the “cutting-edge” lingo that goes along with them.

MOSCOW, May 5. /TASS/. Ten MiG-31 fighter jets (NATO reporting name: Foxhound) fitted with the air-launched Kinzhal (Dagger) hypersonic missile are on test combat duty, Russian Deputy Defense Minister Yuri Borisov said in an interview published on the Zvezda TV channel website on Saturday.
“It is a cutting-edge weapon, namely a hypersonic long-range missile capable of overcoming air and missile defenses. It is invincible, having serious combat might and potential. The MIG-31 is its carrier as the jet is the most fitted for accelerating this missile to required speeds,” he said. . .here

Well, the “neocon” agenda seems rather simple: A small cabal of “elite insiders” (them) must rule the earth. That is all. And they don’t really care at all about the rest of us “outsiders”, that is, the citizens of USA, Israel, Europe, and so on. We are all regarded merely as sheep on their global ranch. It’s just global feudalism.
I hope soon to start up a new web site pertaining to the unholy mess that the election methods theorists (“election methods cognoscente”) (“IRV”, etc.) have created.
It will be called “election-methods-truth do+ org”.

Having said that, at #21, I should add that Mercouris does write an extremely sound article about the relationship between Russia and Israel. The Saker has also elaborated on this at length.
Those who think the relationship hinges solely on tactical strikes within Syria are holding an unrealistically narrow view , and would do well to read Mercouris’s article at least.

Grieved @ 21 and others: Trust Satanyahu to deliberately start his working visit to Moscow on the very day that Russia celebrates Victory Day. Of course he has to be invited to view the parade. How could he not be, as a Head of State?
If the Turkish President or, in a most unlikely scenario, the Ukrainian President happened to be in Russia also on that day, he too would have had to be invited.
Perhaps the Russian military should lay on a huge parade just to scare the bejesus out of Satanyahu.

Actually it has been my understanding that Russia always invites the heads of states of all major powers to attend Victory Day parade. They’re classy that way. It has just been the West’s classless snub to refuse to attend. I’m sure the PM of Israel has always had a standing invitation to attend, so I wouldn’t read so much into that as I would that it sounds like he may feel compelled to don his kneepads and attend. Nuttyahoo must be desperate indeed. That said, like Grieved I continue to be troubled by Israel’s unnatural influence in Russia, as well as the West.

Gareth Porter on the Consortium has the same conclusion but a different theory on the origin of Bibi’s fake presentation.
https://consortiumnews.com/2018/05/03/the-latest-act-in-the-israels-iran-nuclear-disinformation-campaign/
He says that they are just recycled from documents Israel leaked to the IAEA through MEK through 2004 based on the similarity of the info back then including the mismatch between the warhead vs. he nosecone design.
This is superficial, but does anyone else find the symmetry of the trove of stolen documents a tad suspicious? Netanayu shows us bookshelf filled with binders containing 50,000 papers and then another filled with 50,000 CD’s. I know that this is a small thing but it bothered me.
If this was authentic, the proper protocol would be to release it to the IAEA and let them use it as a basis to investigate any new sites that Iran allegedly hid form them but of course the IAEA would say, ‘hey, these are our documents’.

To understand US foreign policy one must understand the role of the US military in the American economy as a whole. Observers who commment that this or that war will fail have not grasped this essential point. Their preoccupation with political effects prevents them from looking at the economic benefits. The US war machinery stimulates growth in an economy and era of little or no growth, not to mention provides employment for millions, and ensures access to strategic regions and resources. It requires constant conflicts and wars to feed itself.

Trump on the Bataclan attacks. > Den Lille Abe at 9
DT in MSM : gun-toting Parisians could keep France safe from terrorist attacks does not come out of nowhere.
There are many reasons (can’t go into it all briefly) to suppose that the Las Vegas shooting was a ‘terrorist’ attack. (I reckon DT believes it. Not trying to defend him btw.)
The only entity that has claimed responsibility for the LV carnage is ISIS, not known for falsely claiming authorship. Michael Smith, in an article in Foreign Affairs, titled: ‘Was ISIS responsible for the Las Vegas attack?’ Oct. 9 2017 (thus extremely early), stresses this point, and reviews various theories, explanations. He doubts that Paddock had any affiliations with ISIS / other terrorist group, though new information is always possible, he writes.
Final graph: The bottom line is that ISIS has cast a wide net and overseen the most aggressive and effective global recruitment and incitement campaign of any terrorist group in history, and it remains possible that ISIS’ claim over the Las Vegas attack is true.
https://www.foreignaffairs.com/articles/united-states/2017-10-09/was-isis-responsible-las-vegas-attack
Many more died in the Bataclan + other Paris venue(s) – almost identical in aim, method, scope, to the LV attacks (concert with trapped audience, other shootings elsewhere..) — on that night – 130 or so, with 99 in intensive care, 413 seriously injured.
Because the F police were ‘inefficient’ (say) and did not simply enter and shoot. It is apparent, from DT’s pov, that the LVPD did a better job than the French, in the sense that LV simply shot all suspects bang off, murdered quite a lot, and covered that up. (Paddock’s role was as a patsy, a lone shooter figure for the plebs.— Within that interpretation.)
This may seem like a sort of double mish-mash of wacky conspiracy theories…who knows… I have been investigating this attack, heh. DT is quite transparent in his speech though it seems like platitudes on the superficial level.

Official English Transcript of Putin’s Inaugural Speech. Hard to choose one particular passage to excerpt; I chose this one since I can’t imagine any US president uttering such words, specifically those I bolded:
“By having all people who care for their country and its future work together we will definitely deliver on our objectives and achieve breakthroughs in research and technology. Together, we can bring to fruition large-scale initiatives to upgrade and improve cities and villages and develop regions across Russia. We will be proactive in conducting a modern social policy that caters to the needs of every individual and every Russian household, improves the quality of education and healthcare. We will pay special attention to supporting the traditional family values, motherhood and childhood, so that more and more wanted and healthy babies are born in Russia who go on to become smart and talented people. It will be they, our children, who will take up our efforts to develop the country, and achieve even greater success than their parents, while respecting the history of our Fatherland.”
Trump sorta said such things, but then his Republican Party allies escalated their War on the Poor and Middle Class in a way that proves their intention/policy is the opposite of any MAGA attempt, and certainly nothing as universally appealing as Putin’s, which is further illustrated in his speech. Oh, and the setting is so much grander than a grandstand in DC–don’t you think?

Grieved 43. I watched the inauguration of Vladimir P. on French RT in real time, eating a shrimp sandwich.
The Russians really know how to do inspiring pomp and show, I’m always impressed by the Kremlin architecture and grounds, and the all-together singing / bands. Plus the controlled military display. Wow. 🙂
What was exceptional about it: inside the K – besides Putin trudging on the kilometers of red carpet – were many top figures, the privileged, etc. (Lavrov looked quite solemn and sad in a way, I’m a fan), but beyond that, Putin put, in his speech, accent on all peoples together, joined to make Russia greater, development, families, together, etc. Ok, standard.
The people outside (about 2K?) were all invited to be there, vetted (one can tell from the pix.) All were young, from civil society, and as said, from various associations, humanitarians, development, education, grass roots hopeful biz ppl, ‘entrepreneurs’ etc. with all social classes and ethnic groups (Putin said that in his speech) represented.
Putin / his Gvmt. has been working for 20 years at least to keep young ppl ‘on board’ in ‘associations’, some receive good funding (can’t prove that), others not so much, and so it goes.

james: escalatory ladder
This should not be surprising to any close observer. IMO Zionist, neocon, and Wahabbi ideologues believe that they MUST prevail in Syria.
I’ve read somewhere that the Israelis are now threatening Assad himself if Iran attacks Israel from Syria.
Several important things are happening this week that may increase the chance of a false flag: Trump’s decision on the Iran deal (by May 12), US fleet arrives (about May 12), ceremonial opening of US embassy in Jerusalem (May 14). These events have made me concerned about a possible ff (especially on May 11) as I express last week

Chas W Freeman was keynote speaker at silicon valley conference about China and USA sanctions
quote
When asked whether the United States and allies around the globe would ever form a united front in challenging China’s economic policies, Chas Freeman told Asia Times simply, “it’s too late.”
“That is to say that sufficient damage is going to be done to our relationships with Europeans and others that we will not be able to form a common front,” he said.
“America is here to stay as a great power,” Freeman said in his opening keynote speech, adding, “China is back as one.” If leaders in Washington want to ensure he is right about the former, those gathered in Silicon Valley said, they have accept the latter. They also have to focus on investing in their own country’s future, not sabotaging China’s.

I did read the article you linked, and thought it was well written with good points made. On re-reading my own comment, I realized my phrasing was poor and I sounded like I was putting words in your mouth. My apologies, that was not my intent, and you are obviously extremely capable of speaking for yourself. I always look forward to your thoughtful and often eloquent comments.
I certainly do think that Putin has done a masterful job of balancing many interests and working with a system that was intentionally sabotaged by the West, and through almost superhuman patience and wisdom has rejuvenated Russia and its positive influence in the World. Assuming we can manage to not blow ourselves up, I think it will be far in the future before historians are able to fully appreciate all he’s managed to do, and the delicate dance he’s managed to dance with all of the diverse powers in Russia to accomplish what he has. He is also a better man than I in his ability to continue to engage with virtually all nations, even those with few redeeming qualities, knowing that over the long haul, that’s the way you have to do it. Me, I’m not a politician or leader of a country, so I guess I can continue being disgusted with Israel and everything they have come to stand for, and not being particularly happy when any government placates Israel–even when I understand the tactical and geopolitical reasons for doing so from time to time.

Clueless Joe 45, you are right. I wrote inefficient, meant it from Trumpian pov and should have used “..” Also let’s not forget in the Bataclan attacks 1 person died and 10 were extremely seriously injured at the Stade de France (bombs). 39 people died and 32 were seriously injured by shooters at restaurants / terraces, nobody was capable of acting against (no police, nobody armed, etc.) Trump no doubt is also thinking of Omar Mateen: I have read that nightcub venues are ‘gun free zones’ in Florida, idk if that is true, perhaps the clubs can enforce it. But it does appear that Omar was the only person with a firearm there. (I am not advocating for arming citizens.)
james, I watched the full and my est. is 12.15, latest, for the time when Putin **finishes** his swearing-in speech. After all it is only when he stops speaking that the performative is official. If he fainted before the end it would be invalid, and would have to be done over again. However it is possible that the transmission had cuts in it compressing the time , so my estimate would be off (too early), plus see T-Bear above.

@71 likklemore… yes – composing verses singing is the problem and i think the judge is right to frame it that way..that is what it appears mueller is looking for – someone to compose, as opposed to sing, whereby mueller will have the grounds for impeachment of trump.. the whole thing is a circus way past its due date..

… they both seem beholden to the military and financial industry complex… i think what is different with trump here is how they tried to frame him prior to his even being elected with the ‘in alliance with russia’ bullshit…

This is a contradictory statement. Why would they frame him if he is “beholden to the military and financial industry complex”?
The Russia investigation could be seen as a genuine effort by well-meaning patriotic Americans OR it could be viewed as “insurance” that is meant to hold Trump to account. Will anyone of any importance ever see a jail cell? Probably not.
Obama faced a similar effort that questioned his loyalty: the “birthers”.
A cynic would note that the office of the Presidency is captured (“beholden”, as you say) and the figurehead in office is more effective when he/she is a populist. A ‘faux populist” leader, however, has the potential to turn against the establishment and become a real populist. Thus, some ‘insurance’ is needed. The counterweight to this ‘insurance’ are the apologists, which ensure that the faux populist remains effective.
It’s a very stable system and looks very dynamic and democratic. In that way it’s more effective than Russian and Chinese systems where the same people are always at the top.

Posted by: Jackrabbit | May 8 2018 18:07 utc | 78

@80 jr… you are right.. it is a contradictory statement.. i think the purpose of framing him is to hold him to their agenda… i am not completely sure it is working… the choice is in believing trump wants something different for the usa, verses believing he is one and the same as obama..
i don’t think the mueller investigation has much of any integrity to it.. why not investigate how the usa is completely in israels back pocket? that would produce a lot more tangible evidence and be of much greater relevance here.. the whole exercise is just to have something to hang over trumps head and i think it is brought to the usa via the cia/fbi and democratic party..
i would like to think trump is unpredictable and not easily categorize-able… i still hold a shred of belief that he will go off script in a way that is of benefit for the usa.. but, i am not sure he will… the bombing of syria both times seemed very lukewarm.. why is that?
it is interesting what you say.. you are much more articulate in your view on the usa system, then i… i don’t live their and i have a tendency to simplify my ideas and latch onto some element of truth that i think or feel is relevant… trump may have been the leader the deep state wanted, but i am still not convinced.. i think things went off course in this last election and i think they had to in order for the usa to change.. otherwise, it is all same ol’ same ol’ with no change and war 24/7 on the horizon at all times… do you think it is this way i say in my previous last sentence? thanks – james
