Is
Russia Being Betrayed By Its Own Intelligensia?

The
Russian military refused to buy Putin’s excuse
for Israel’s intentional murder of 15 Russian
Air Force personnel. The Russian military knows
precisely what happened and has not been
hesitant to make completely clear Israel’s total
betrayal of the Russian government’s naive and
gullible trust in the criminal state of Israel.

One
marvels at the foreign policy incompetence of
Putin’s civilian advisers. Apparently there is
no Russian awareness that the ONLY REASON for
Washington’s fake “war on terror” is to clear
out of the Middle East all governments with
foreign policies independent of Washington,
governments that are in the way of Israel’s
expansion. Israel is especially interested to
annex southern Lebanon and wants the Hezbollah
militia, which Israel has been unable to defeat,
out of the way by using Washington to put Syria
and Iran into the same chaos as Washington put
Iraq and Libya. Once Syria and Iran are in
chaos, there is no one left to supply Hezbollah,
and Israel can again march into Lebanon.
Does
the Russian government not understand that the
“terrorists” are Washington’s operatives?
Washington pretends that some of these
“terrorists” are “democratic rebels” opposing
the alleged “Syrian dictatorship.” Washington
pretends that others of its mercenaries are
“terrorists,” whose presence is Washington’s
justification for having US military forces in
Syria illegally to “fight terrorism,” an excuse
that has evaporated with Washington’s obvious
and determined shielding of the remaining al
Qaeda, al Nusra, and ISIS forces in Syria. The
American neoconservatives, most of whom are
Zionists tightly allied with Netanyahu,
formulated a doctrine of US world hegemony. This
ideological doctrine of “American exceptionalism”
serves as a cloak to hide the fact that
Washington is serving Israel’s interest in the
Middle East.
These
completely obvious, transparent facts are
apparently over the head of Putin’s civilian
advisors.
Nevertheless, the Israeli murder of the Russian
airmen has forced Putin to finally honor his
contract with Syria and to supply the S-300 air
defense system that Syria paid for but Putin, in
deference to the criminal state of Israel,
refused to deliver. The S-300 will be delivered
in 2 weeks, said the Russian Ministry of
Defense. This air defense system will, I think,
allow Syria to close its air space to Israeli,
US, and NATO aggression without Putin having to
declare a no fly zone, an obvious solution that
Putin has avoided in dererence to “Russia’s
American and Israeli partners.”
In my
opinion, provocations would have been avoided
and lives saved, if the Russian government had
established a de facto no-fly zone when Russia
first came to Syria’s aid, and if Russia had
stuck with the project to defeat Washington’s
terrorists without premature withdrawals and
ceasefires in the naive hope of obtaining some
kind of agreement. How could the Russian
government possibly think that any agreement
with Washington, Israel, or any of Washington’s
EU puppets would mean anything? All these
Russian hesitations did was to permit Washington
to figure out how to interject itself more
firmly into Syrian territory. If Russia had
acted more decisively and less hesitantly, the
Russian airmen and a large number of other
people would still be alive.
Is it
conceiveable that the Russian government has not
yet learned that an agreement with Washington is
a fool’s errand? Washington broke its word and
moved NATO to Russia’s border, and all of Europe
approved. Washington unilaterally pulled out of
the ABM Treaty. Washington and Israel equipped
and trained the Georgian military and sent it to
kill Russian peacekeepers and attack South
Ossetia and then blamed Russia for “aggression.”
Washington worked against the success of the
Sochi Olympics and used the occasion to spring
on an unsuspecting Russian government a neo-nazi
coup in Ukraine with the intention of evicting
Russia from its Black Sea naval base. When
Crimea voted 97% to rejoin Russia, Washington
and its EU puppets falsely alleged that “Russia
invaded Ukraine.” When the Ukrainian government
installed by Victoria Nuland shot down a
Malaysian airliner, as soon as the airliner hit
the ground, the blame was put on Russia, where
it still lies. Washington unilaterally pulled
out of the Iran nuclear agreement. This list
just scratches the surface of Washington’s
betrayals of Russia..
And
the Russian government thinks that an agreement
with Washington is meaningful?!
The
only meaningful agreement the Russian government
can make with Washington is to sign away Russian
sovereignty and accept Russian status as a
vassal of Washington. How many black eyes does
the Russian government need to receive before it
can comprehend this basic and unalterable
reality?
Even the belated, long overdue, step that the
Russian government has taken to provide Syria
with air defense in order to protect the
Syrian/Russian gains in liberating Syria from
Washington’s terrorists is too much for Russian
“experts,” such as Nikolay Surkov, a senior
researcher at the Moscow-based International
Institute for World Economy and International
Relations. Surkov assured RT that “Russia and
Israel are partners, and neither side wishes to
endanger this partnership.”
https://www.rt.com/news/439211-russia-israel-syria-fallout/
So, why does
the utter fool Surkov think Israel had the
Russian airplane and its crew destroyed? Is he
an Israeli voice that accepts the false Israeli
explanation?
How can
Surkov be considered an “expert” when he is so
totally ignorant. Israel and Russia have no
common interest whatsoever. Israel’s
interest in the Middle East is chaos so that
there are no organized states in the way of
Israeli expansion. Russia’s interest is to have
stable governments with independent foreign
policies that prevent Washington and Israel from
siccing the terrorists on the Russian
Federation. If the Russian government does not
understand this, it desperately needs a new
intelligence agency. But not one headed by
Surkov.
As far
as I can tell, neither the Russian government
nor the Russian people understand that
Washington, Israel, and their NATO vassals
are Russia’s enemies, not Russia’s
“partners.” There is no doubt whatsoever that
Washington and Israel are intent on Russia’s
destruction. Yet, Russia has “experts,” such as
Surkov, who believe, or pretend to believe, that
“Russia and Israel are partners.”
If this
is the level of intelligence in Moscow, Russia
and the rest of us are doomed.
