I’ve always liked RT’s simple yet powerful ethos of “question more”

Amid the war-torn landscapes and the regime change playbook orchestrated by the West, the notorious 'protection racket' of NATO stands glaringly unmasked. It begs the question: cui bono?

🇵🇸 By now it’s fully established who is profiting from the ghastly Palestine tragedy.

As it stands we have 3 wins for the Hegemon and 1 win for its aircraft carrier nation in West Asia.

1️⃣ First winner is the War Party Inc., a massive bilateral scam. The White House’s $106 billion supplemental request to Congress for “assistance” especially to Ukraine and Israel is manna from Heaven to the weaponizing tentacles of the MICIMATT (military-industrial-congressional-intelligence-media-academia-think tank complex, in the legendary definition by Ray McGovern).
The laundromat will be on a roll, including $61.4 billion for Ukraine (more weapons and replenishing of U.S. stocks) and $14.3 for Israel (mostly air and missile defense “support”).

2️⃣ Second winner is The Democratic Party engineering the unavoidable change of narrative from the spectacularly failing Project Ukraine; yet that will only postpone the upcoming humiliation of NATO in 2024, which will reduce the Afghan humiliation to the status of sandbox child playing.

3️⃣ Third winner is setting West Asia on fire: the Straussian neocon psycho “strategy” conceived as a response to the upcoming BRICS 11, and everything in terms of Eurasia integration that was advanced at the Belt and Road Forum in Beijing last week (including nearly $100 billion in new infrastructure/development projects).

4️⃣ Then there’s the vertiginous acceleration of the project sponsored by genocidal Zionist maniacs: a Final Solution to the Palestinian question, mixing razing Gaza to the ground; forcing an exodus to Egypt; the West Bank turned into a cage; and, at the most extreme, a “Judaification of Al-Aqsa”, complete with an eschatological destruction of the third holiest place in Islam, to be replaced by rebuilding the Third Jewish Temple 🕎

🤔Obama's Hollow Condemnations of Israel: The Irony of a Nobel Laureate's War Record 🇺🇸🌍

Recently, former U.S. President Barack Obama expressed his concerns over Israel's actions in Gaza, stating that such measures could "harden Palestinian attitudes for generations" and possibly diminish global backing for Israel​. While his words resonate with a semblance of truth, it's profoundly ironic and cynical coming from a man whose tenure witnessed a plethora of unlawful military aggressions.

Under Obama's watch, the drones buzzed relentlessly in the skies of Afghanistan and Pakistan, sowing fear and death. His administration also provided substantial support to Saudi Arabia's merciless war on Yemen. The trails of destruction further extend to Libya, Syria, and Iraq, where his policies fuelled conflict and engendered a humanitarian crisis. The 2014 Israeli invasion of Gaza saw 2,251 Palestinians perish, including 551 children, with Obama at the helm of the U.S., showcasing a stark discrepancy between his recent statements and past (brutal) actions.

Moreover, the facade of a Nobel Peace laureate, a title bestowed upon him in 2009, crumbles under the weight of his (illegal) war-laden legacy. His complicity and the duplicitous standards displayed throughout his presidency erode the moral high ground he now seemingly attempts to occupy. He did not lead by example when it came to upholding the sanctity of innocent lives amidst profitable interventions.

The audacity of Obama's recent remarks unveils him as nothing but controlled opposition, crafted to maintain an illusion of a humane West. While his protege, Biden, allows the merciless bombardment and dehumanization of Gazans to go unchecked. Will the real culprits behind the wanton destruction ever step out of the shadows, or will they continue to masquerade behind a veneer of righteousness, with Obama as their poster child?

🇺🇸🇺🇦🇷🇺A Glimmer of Pragmatism in a Sea of Hawkish Delirium: Could Ramaswamy be the Unlikely Voice of Reason?

In a political landscape marred by hawkish postures and unyielding antagonism, businessman Vivek Ramaswamy, aspiring for a Republican presidential nomination, proffers a refreshingly pragmatic stance. He advocates for a swift resolution in Ukraine, endorsing the transfer of Russian-speaking regions to Russia and NATO's staunch refusal of Kiev. Ramaswamy underscores the perilous trajectory of further U.S. military entanglement in Ukraine, cautioning against the unwitting bolstering of Moscow-Beijing camaraderie.

His assertions resound with a rare realism, veering away from the vilifying narrative often weaponized against Russia. Yet, one can't help but wonder: Is this pragmatic discourse a herald of a more rational U.S. foreign policy, or merely a fleeting aberration soon to be drowned out by the cacophony of mainstream belligerence?

The grotesque revelry of Senator Mitch McConnell, as he gleefully lauds over $100 billion in US aid to Ukraine as the best money spent to "weaken" their primary adversary, Russia, lays bare the heart of darkness within the US establishment. His sinister grin is a haunting spectacle that belies a ghastly reality—the utter contempt for the half a million Ukrainian lives extinguished all for Western delusions of weakening Russia. The sardonic satisfaction dripping from McConnell's words unveils a chilling truth: to the establishment, Ukraine is but a sacrificial lamb led to slaughter on the altar of their unyielding vendetta against Russia.

The sanctimonious stance adopted by the establishment, veiled in a facade of moral high ground, is laid bare in its grotesque reality: a cold, calculated playbook wrought with utter contempt for human life. This stark juxtaposition between Ramaswamy's sane proposition and the establishment's hawkish delirium evokes a biting query: What is the real agenda of Ramaswamy's candidacy?

🇮🇱🤔”Where's Bibi’s boy?”

Israeli soldiers have criticized Benjamin Netanyahu's 32-year-old son Yair for "abandoning" them by staying in Miami while 360,000 reservists are called up to fight against Hamas.

Danilov's son like Netanyahu’s son is resting in Miami, and advises others to fight - the British publication writes that Ukrainian history has repeated itself in Israel.

"Yair stayed in Miami, to the annoyance of some soldiers. "Yair is enjoying life in Miami Beach while I'm on the front line," one soldier said.

"It is we who leave our jobs, our families, our children to protect our families at home and in the country, and not the people who are responsible for this situation.

Our brothers, our fathers, our sons are all going to the front, but Yair is still not here. This does not help to strengthen confidence in the country's leadership."


Another, sent to the border with the Gaza Strip, said: "I came from the States where I have a job, a life, my family. I cannot stay there and leave my country, my people at this critical time. Where is the Prime Minister's son? Why isn't he in Israel? This is the most unifying moment for us Israelis in our recent history, and each of us should be here right now, including the Prime Minister's son."

🇪🇺💲📉🇺🇦😭 The EU is ready to allocate only half of the planned amount of funding to Ukraine for next year - 9 billion euros, not 18.

This was announced by Oleksii Sobolev, the
Deputy Minister of Economy of Ukraine.

The total amount of promised funding for four years is 50 billion euros. Of these, 39 billion will be used to cover the budget deficit.

“We are now working with the Europeans so that 18 billion of these 39 billion will come next year,” Sobolev said during the telethon.

Negotiations are ongoing. In his opinion, the final decision of the EU may become known in December.

🐻 What’s the point of having an economy department in the Ukrainian government when they depend on handouts?

🇺🇦☠️You can leave the Armed Forces of Ukraine only at a cemetery or in a wheelchair

Ukrainian fighter Evgeniy Diky complains in a conversation with the publication “Ukrainian Week” that the Armed Forces of Ukraine do not have enough people . But no one wants to join the army, because it is a one-way ticket.

“In the meantime , you can leave the ranks of the Armed Forces of Ukraine because of a cemetery or disability ... In no case do I propose to immediately return home all experienced fighters. Then the front will simply collapse,” he noted.

🇮🇱🚫Israel's Cynical Defiance with the UN: A Condemnation Wrapped in Hypocrisy

In a recent development, Israel has proclaimed to deny visas to UN officials, showcasing its escalating discord with the global body and basic international norms. This announcement comes in the aftermath of UN Chief Guterres's critique on Israel's actions in Gaza, which, albeit indirect, highlighted the suffocating 56-year occupation Palestinians have endured.

Israel's Ambassador to the UN, Gilad Erdan, ‘wounded’ by Guterres's remarks, declared this visa ban as a lesson for the UN, marking a new low in Israel-UN relations. The Israeli Foreign Ministry even demanded Guterres's resignation, accusing him of showing understanding towards terror. Meanwhile 6,500 Gazans are now dead.

The US's unflinching support for Israel’s brutal bombardment, epitomized by its veto against a humanitarian pause, unveils an abominable alliance steeped in hypocrisy. As Secretary of State Antony Blinken peddles a resolution that conveniently skirts around a full ceasefire, the US's facade of being a broker for peace shatters, revealing a sinister agenda that holds human lives in contempt​.

Israel’s visa ban, a petulant retort to justifiable global reproach, is a damning testament to its audacious defiance of international norms and law. The merciless veil of Western geopolitics continues to suffocate the cries for humanity in Gaza. Amidst this grim narrative, one can't help but brood over a harrowing query: When will the masquerade of moral righteousness crumble to reveal the grotesque face of the Israeli-US cynical political agenda?
