What we are doing in Gaza we know how to do in Beirut,” declares Israeli Defense Minister.
Putin could have prevented the coming world war by quickly dispatching Ukraine in 2014 and by providing air defense systems for Syria, Lebanon, and Gaza against Israel and Washington’s air strikes.
I would be more optimistic that we have a future if Russian media and foreign affairs analysts, such as Fyodor Lukyanov, chairman of the Russian Presidium of the Council on Foreign and Defense policy, could dispense with their rose-colored glasses that protect them from reality, and face up to facts. The massive amounts of aircraft, air defense systems, warships, troops and nuclear missile submarines the US is pouring into the vicinity of Israel is not intended for use against Hamas.
The intent is to open up the Middle East for Greater Israel and to use Iran as a base from which to cause problems for Russia in Central Asia. If this agenda succeeds, nuclear war is inevitable. An agenda that leads to ashes should be denounced and avoided.
The neoconservatives who control US foreign policy have had their sights on Syria, Iran, and Hezbollah before the US invasions of Afghanistan and Iraq. These countries have been American targets since Norman Podhoretz wrote in Commentary that the US should overthrow the Middle Eastern governments. Prior to the George W. Bush regime’s invasion of Iraq, General Wesley Clark was shown a Pentagon memo that the US intended to overthrow 7 Middle Eastern countries in 5 years: https://www.salon.com/2007/10/12/wesley_clark/ . The neoconservatives completely controlled US defense and foreign policy then, as they do today. This project is still the agenda, and it is unfolding before blind Russian and American eyes as I write.
I often wonder if Russia, despite its overwhelming nuclear and military superiority over the West, has the ability to survive. Russian intellectuals, media, and foreign policy analysts seem to be incapable of comprehending that the neoconservatives regard Russia as an enemy to be eliminated. Alienated by the Soviet regime, Russian intellectuals see the West as the touchstone of rationality and freedom. Can Russia survive such a delusion?
Fyodor Lukyanov, for example, who is also the director of the Valdai International Discussion Club where Putin always shines, dismisses WW III as “inadmissible” because of nuclear weapons. Perhaps he was influenced by the decades of American propaganda and cannot reconcile his brainwashing with the Wolfowitz doctrine. Indeed, in my many years of being interviewed by Russian media, it is rare to come across a Russian journalist who is even aware of the Wolfowitz doctrine that the principal goal of US foreign policy is to prevent the rise of Russia or any other country capable of constraining US unilateral action. The entirety of Putin’s travails in Ukraine is due to his inability to comprehend the agenda of the US neoconservatives. He sat there for 8 years while the US built a Ukrainian Army capable of destroying Russian Donbas before he, belatedly, acted.
Putin is again sitting on his butt in the Middle East. He does nothing while the US builds up massive military power in the region except aid Washington by preventing Iran and Hezbollah from acting when they had the initiative and would have succeeded. Meanwhile his foreign policy analysts tell him that the Third World War is far off in the future, beyond his life time. https://www.rt.com/news/587022-fyodor-lukyanov-world-war-three/
How can the extraordinary situation be explained that the US, a country that demonizes its own white population, is led by neoconservatives who assert that the American people are exceptional and indispensable?

Why doesn’t Putin just commit to WWIII, already ….. All the neocons and rapturetards won’t it, so why doesn’t he…reeee
On another note, is this the end of Zionism …. one can only hope and it takes the faggot infested GOP with ti.
Who is this analyst???
Flash- If only, but we can pray every day for God to deal with the Zionists. Ask and Ye shall receive.
Meanwhile, just say NO to further wars to benefit the club/banksters. BiBi is going down, one way or another at the hand of God in whatever means God will use.
If there are any young white men on TBP, I strongly encourage you to promote diversity in the US armed forces. Do not enlist or answer the draft. Let some diverse nigger, mohammedan, woman faggot or trannie have your white privilege. They deserve their fair share.
Dumbest opening paragraph of an article this year, if not this decade, if not ever.
If PCR had recognized back in 1950 what an incredible imbecile he’s recently been on all things Putin, he could have spared us this stupidity.
lol….Putin is a world leader and playing his role perfectly. He helped genocide hundreds of thousands of Slavs in Ukraine for the jewish empire. He’s does nothing in Syria to help the people and would not dare to take a shot at Israel. He talks mean but nothing really happens outside of the “skit” boundaries
They’re all in on it, except for you and I. Xi, Biden, Trump, Putin, Netanyahu, all the other country’s leaders, most in Congress, the Parliament, etc. They want a lot of people dead so they can create their utopia. And you certainly know what their utopia consists of, right? And just imagine the secrets they hold for energy, health, evolution, space and a myriad of other things.
None of these leaders ever go to jail unless you are on the wrong side of the establishment. They are all actors and they have been doing this for many decades. Either the people rise up and trusts no one in government and their crony affiliates, or we lose. And I can see where this is heading
Putin has the means to shut down this “crisis” immediately. Instead he has pretended he was forced to help the Zionazis ethnic cleanse Ukraine, and is now watching them, and their Hamas sock puppets ethnic cleanse Gaza. (1. In Ukraine Zaluzhny is now threatened with removal because he wants to move to a defensive strategy which will slow down the ethnic cleansing. 2. If Hamas was in fact supplied and directed by Iran, and meant to have a chance, they would certainly have received a supply of effective MANPADS to defeat the expected aerial bombardment, but they were set up to fail.) In Putin’s favor he does not attack civilians and most Russian caused collateral damage appears to be accidental.
How hard would it be for ex-KGB Putin to send a few black ops teams to Zurich, London City, New York, D.C. Brussels and Tel Aviv to arrange accidents for the true heads of the Hydra? That will not happen because in the world reality show, Putin and the rest of the players are all taking direction from our “owners” (to use George Carlson’s name for them).
