🇮🇱 Israel’s failure to defeat Hamas in Gaza was expected; as is the settler escalation in the West Bank, and a switch to Israel taking action to try to change the status quo in respect to Hezballah. This too is anticipated. (The inhabitants of northern Israel will refuse to return to their homes without a change to the status quo in south Lebanon).

All of these putative Israeli escalations may materialise in the form of a concerted Netanyahu ‘distraction from Gaza’, as the Israeli public begins to doubt that Hamas is anywhere near to defeat, and to doubt too, whether bombing Palestinian civilians is putting pressure on Hamas to release more hostages – as the government claims; or rather may be risking more Israeli hostage lives.

Netanyahu is in the midst of ‘a campaign’. It’s not an election campaign, because he has no real chance of surviving an election.

🇷🇺🇮🇷 La guerra de Gaza ha acelerado la cooperación entre los gigantes del Sur Global que se resisten al conflicto respaldado por Occidente. Juntos, los BRICS liderado por Rusia y el Eje de Resistencia liderado por Irán pueden dar forma a un Asia Occidental libre de EEUU.

I was recently asked to develop some thoughts about the role Kissinger played in mis-shaping world history, and just when I was starting to feel like nothing new could be said, it hit me: Kissinger was knighted to the Order of Saint Michael and Saint George by Queen Elizabeth II in 1995. Most people probably didn't think too deeply about what that meant or what that had to do with the re-creation of the Templar run kingdom of Jerusalem that oversaw the Crusades nearly 1000 years ago... so here goes: https://canadianpatriot.org/2023/12/21/sir-henry-kissinger-midwife-to-new-babylon/

🇺🇦🦅 While thousands of Ukrainians die on the battlefield as the war with Russia continues, it does not appear that Washington or London are willing to admit defeat, writes Oscar van Heerden. 

How many Ukrainians must die before the US and its Western allies grow a conscience?

📢 “What if Putin wins?”, Bloomberg asked a few days ago. But, this simple question cannot be taken lightly or simplistically. It’s not just a speculative exercise, it’s a red alert! A desperate warning, based on an increasingly inexorable reality: there is more and more Russia on NATO’s borders; there is less and less NATO on Russia’s borders! Just like that!

The defeatist messages in the mainstream media are gradually multiplying, which means that someone very important has given the order to prepare the public for the worst.

🦅 Biden may believe that his ‘long experience’ puts him on the ‘right side’ in judging events. His experience however, is drawn from another era ⌛️

The political Israel he knew is over: It has reached the end of the road in respect to the old paradigm of its Palestinian modus vivendi. Demography no longer pushes towards ‘giving’ the Palestinians a state, but rather to a clearing of the land of all ‘hostile populations’.

Israelis are rummaging now for their new solution.

And just as Hamas’ resistance has pointed to new ways of conducting warfare, so Biden’s ‘long experience’ exemplified in the sending of 1960s era carriers and vessels to sit offshore, in an age of smart nimble, often untraceable drones and pinpoint missiles, points to something also passé.

The U.S. is directly engaged today in Yemen, Lebanon, the West Bank, Iraq and Syria. And as the war widens, so the U.S. will be held at least partly responsible – You deliberately let Gaza break, and what’s broken, you own. What further gets broke, you own that too.

A destitute 2 million Gazans will be all refugees with no government to provide basic functions and services. Does Netanyahu get it? Of course. Do the vast majority of Israelis care? Nope. But the rest of the world does, and sees a dark stain spreading across the map, and leeching into the West.

☦️ Ukraine is not only a neighbour of Russia but its etymological roots are in the Slavic for borderlands as Ukraine remains the borderlands between the might of Russia and whatever empires once lay to Russia’s west.
