Russia has
provided
evidence that Washington is collaborating with ISIS
in attacks on Russian
forces.
In one
Washington-directed attack, ISIS tried to capture 29
Russian military policemen. However, Russian special
forces entered the fray, and
the result was
spectacular losses for ISIS.
In another
attack Washington-directed attack, Russian General
Valery Asapov and two Russian colonels were
killed in an attack that violated agreements.
Sooner or
later it will dawn on the Russian government that
Washington is not a rational government with which
diplomacy can be practiced, peace pursued, and
agreements reached. Sooner or later it will dawn on
the Russian government that far from being rational,
Washington is a criminally insane collection of
psychopaths in thrall to the military/security
complex which, in turn, is in thrall to its massive
profits.

In other
words, for the powerful interest groups that control
the US government, war is a profit center. No amount
of Russian diplomacy can do anything about this
fact.
It is
unfortunate that the Russian government did not
realize what it was dealing with. If the Russian
government had not projected its own rationality on
Washington, the war in Syria would have been over a
couple of years ago. Instead, hoping for a
settlement, the Russians were stop-go/stop-go, which
gave Washington time to recover from the shock of
Russian intervention and put in place plans to
partition Syria in order to keep the conflict alive
forever. Having dallied in hopes of a settlement,
the danger of which The Saker warns us is real.

The
protests by black pro-football players by refusing
to stand for the national anthem has come at an
unfortunate time. It is playing into the hands of
the military/security complex which is using
President Trump’s loud voice challenging the
“anti-americanism” to whip up patriotic fervor. It
is amazing how people fall for it every time. The
military/security complex and their presstitutes are
creating public anger at those “attacking our
country.” This anger will be turned from black
football players to Russia.
With the
public in its pocket, the military/security complex
will increase its reckless provocations of Russia
until we are all dead.
