The American proxy war has been lost for the time being. It is just being paused while America and its Euro allies pump up their murder and plunder in West Asia. It is the easier target and the non-white people do not matter to Euro-Americans. Worse, it looks like Russia is being co-opted based on economic interests. So the so called people has a very dark side for non-white humanity, and most particularly West Asians.
I don't think Russia is being co-opted. They would like the sanctions to be lifted and to stop having to occupy Ukraine, but only if their demands, of the disbanding of NATO and no European troops in Ukraine, are met. There is no thawing of relations with the US who are still providing financial and military support to Ukraine. This isn't Putin's first rodeo.

It’s abandoning of Syria to the terrorists then instigating diplomatic relations with them, and its co-ordination with Israel and complete lack of support for the Palestinians.
Fighting an existential SMO against the US led NATO and West may be a big factor in ‘abandoning’ their support for Syria. There are also many Russian Jews in Israel.
Yes, that is the dilemma for those of us without the means or ability to participate in
armed conflict against the colonial genocidal entity. I would add that the risk of nuclear war
also exists in the Palestinian genocide as Israel has submarines which likely have nuclear-armed
warheads. If pushed to the brink of defeat, or even anywhere near it given their sense of total impunity as well as their level of insanity, they could use them. Then what? I don't have much faith in a long future for humanity, and less and less as this horrific decade rolls on.
Thoughtful and brilliant exposition. You cut to the bottom line, here:
"...it is – objectively – much easier for an American president to stop “Israel,” which cannot survive without constant, massive US support, than make peace in Ukraine."
And it's no less important. Israeli escalation of military conflict with Russia and China's ally and BRICS partner, Iran, is no less a danger to peace than NATO's war for enlargement in Ukraine.
I see only convergence and overlap between both of those capture of resources settler colonial projects. Ukraine's drive to completely nullify Russian presence in Donbas (by eradicating language, culture, and Orthodoxy) and appropriate those resource rich territories is quite possibly being pushed by the same soulless psychopaths turning Gaza into a depopulated lunar landscape.
In both places, completely unhinged and unashamed greed, not self-defense, has been the invisible driver of events.
Since 1948, in Israel, and since 2014, in Ukraine. When the IMF made emergency loans to the bankrupt new government conditional, requiring western "investment access" to the 80 percent of GDP and the natural resources in the eastern part of the country. Which was soon followed by western private equity firms, Blackrock and Vanguard, purchasing title to some of the planet's richest farmland. After the law forbidding foreign ownership of agricultural property was rewritten.
And all that paper wealth (trillions of dollars worth?) led to the over collateralization and over investment in hundreds of billions in military support for the AFU. [Most notably, in the form of Bank of England war bonds, as described by Alex Krainer.]
Yes, politicians in Ukraine, Israel, Europe, and the United States have to be called to justice for their unwavering support of genocide and mass slaughter. But we should also reserve a few jail cells for banksters, funding and directing the heads of state.
I have yet to see, and admittedly I don't read much of it, any mainstream western media outlet even mention the assault on the human rights of Russian speakers after the
Hi Tarik, I recently watched this discussion https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EuPREKW6sHI (see starting at 28 minutes). I think it is very important to discuss politics. But I liked the ideas that Laith Marouf outlines regarding strategies. I have felt very frustrated these past two years because I don't see any counter strategies to Israeli actions. The Zionists seem to be so on the game. Marouf's ideas about blockade, etc. I am not an expert in any of this. But it struck me as something that people could think about.
"We can protest and struggle, but we know that we do not command what stopping the “Israeli” monsters of mass murder and sadism would take: an army to save their Palestinian (and many other) victims, defeat them totally (just like their kin, the German Nazis of yore), and abolish their rotten fascist state."
Great article. The kinship of the Zios and their Nazi forebears should be pointed out at every instance. It should be the subject of a book length, definitive analysis. To defeat the new genocidal, racial supremacists on the block, one must thoroughly destroy their mythology intellectually. The millions that despise Israel need to fully understand their uncanny similarity to the Nazis. The Zios are the Nazis of our times. Of course, as you point out, only force can stop them once again. The Soviets were the true destroyers of the Nazis. The Soviet of our times must be built to destroy the Zionazis.
Thanks again for reminding us with such precision just how evil and morally bankrupt our elites are.

So true!

So called peace I mean.
