How are they going to overthrow Assad now that ISIS is defeated? I guess they'll just have to try the "gassing his own people, it's a humanitarian crisis, we must intervene" thing for the 5th time

I think Assad is now compromised, or they simply made a geopolitical deal. That being said us pulling out gives Israel and Turkey backed rebels the go ahead. I think Syrian proxy war will last awhile with periods of peace and instability. It’s Iran we are after.

But if they use the gassing the people argument again, we know where the US stands.

Really? I don't see evidence for that personally, but it's an interesting theory.

Iran and Syria (and Venezuela) are all just proxies for Russian power, which is why the US wants control.

Why does Russia have a vested interest in Venezuela?

[–]magnora7[S] 1 insightful - 1 fun1 insightful - 0 fun2 insightful - 1 fun -  (3 children)

Because Venezuela is partners with Russia, because they went full communism with Maduro and hate the US, and so they align with Russia

Do you believe the Russian narrative that Trump is working with Putin? On another note, I have been researching Trumps ties with Russia and indeed there are many ties. However, it seems his vested interest and those around him are in Israel, especially the leaving of Mattis, who at least upheald the two state solution. What is markedly interesting about israel is that they are working with China on the belt road inititive with Russia. Russia and Israel have very similar geopolitical and economic goals in South west Asia, contrary to the interests of the United States of America. We can see these agreements and think tanks meetings that seem to be in opposition of US interests, or at the least leave the US in the dust. It's almsot as if Trump is trying to gut the US, to merely use it as a military puppet for Israel.

Russia, Israel and China are working hard at a trillion dollar economic plan, I've also seen many articles of Iran getting into the mix. Just duckduckgo (Israel-China Russia relations). I think there's more to these tensions between all these parties and nations than we think.

I think Russia is working with Trump less than Israel is working with Trump. So still probably a lot, but I don't think our government has been infiltrated by Russia 1/10th of how much it's been infiltrated by Israel.

And I wouldn't say Venezuela went full communism.

It’s funny you post reuters a lot but isn’t owned by the Rothschilds?

[–]magnora7[S] 2 insightful - 1 fun2 insightful - 0 fun3 insightful - 1 fun -  (2 children)

Find me a more reputable and neutral newspaper and I'll use that instead. Rothschilds own probably 90% of newspapers, but some are still more neutral than others

[–]Jesus 2 insightful - 1 fun2 insightful - 0 fun3 insightful - 1 fun -  (1 child)

That's true. Reuters has a very neutral stance when it comes to world events.

As best I can find, anyway. I use other papers too though, a well-informed person uses a wide variety of sources imo
