Greetings Folks
As Russia attempts to stabilize Syria and eliminate Al Qaida from Idlib, I’m certain the Russians are under no illusions of who they’re doing business with in their ‘partner’ Turkey; but what the rest of us should know is, this NATO ‘ally’ run by Erdogan, with his habit of stabbing everyone in the back at different times, has for his intelligence chief a longtime member of Turkish al-Qaida. Small wonder Turkey had been so friendly with al-Qaida splinter group ISIS, you think? Great for multiculturalism in Europe too, with Germany’s open door and EU refugee quotas shoved on other EU states (that’s irony.) Where do you suppose more than a double fistful of ISIS people (if they can be called ‘people’) ended up? Actually that’s precisely why Russia is determined al-Qaida has to be STAMPED OUT in Syria, better that than see them funneled towards Russia (and yeah, that raises a question, why are certain NATO states so concerned about protecting the civilians in the Idlib al Qaida bastion from Russians, civilians hardly seemed to matter when McDonnell-Douglas and General Dynamics products were flattening Fallujah, Ramadi and Mosul. This following assessment is as relevant today as it was two years ago:
Speaking of NATO states coddling al-Qaida in Idlib province of Syria, you actually have to go to Russian media to see what a USA Congresswoman has to say about it:

Meanwhile, the soup is sticking to the bottom of the pot and someone on the Western side had better turn the fire down; the Russians aren’t going to ‘turn the other cheek’ forever, bringing up the propaganda wars and associated dirty tricks in live theater. The question I would be asking the Russian MOD if I were a reporter? How is it a state of the art Russian electronic warfare plane can’t deflect a dated Russian S200 SAM system? Maybe that’s not what actually happened … in a case of ‘chickens come home to roost’ for Bibi Netanyahu’s geopolitical fellatio involving a state of the art French frigate. Joaquin Flores at Ft Russ makes a credible case it was the French, not the Syrians, downed the Russian plane off the coast of Syria but Israel will pay for it:
Propaganda is tricky stuff, and the Russians aren’t lily white choirboys (per the preceding example) … however there might be understanding of, and reason for, certain despicable acts (professional lies) this ethicist (yours truly) draws a line at this next (and my thanks to Ft Russ News for picking up my work)

Speaking of Ft Russ News picking up my work, this following series might hold some clues on why Donald Trump has been left out on a limb by Jeff Sessions, a case of ‘et tu Brute’ … where neoliberals, neocons and the cult behind the National Prayer Breakfast, the intelligence agencies & Pentagon all contest for control:

As if all of the preceding were not enough, NATO pushes a massive air drill in Russia’s face, if you haven’t watched Dr Strangelove in awhile, it might be time to rent the DVD:

Oh, and about that Bill Browder guy (behind the Magnitsky Act)…
Quote of the month: “US Defense Secretary James Mad Dog Mattis is arriving in Macedonia to, the way he described it, “save us from the Russians”. The real question is who is going to save Macedonians from the Yanks considering it isn’t the Russian Ambassador who is bribing judges, visiting Courts or seating with Election Officials on the eve of elections… it’s the US Ambassador”
And… because it is September: James Corbett on the “9/11 war-games”
24 September special addendum: With Kavanaugh’s SCOTUS, or SCROTUS, (reader’s choice) appointment heating up across the phony divide of the duopoly, here’s what neither side will dare admit is underlying history of the nominee:

Finally, the complimentary satire, but, relevant to our Western political class, today’s is a guest artist, James LaFond, on street IQ – the smart-ass-dumb-ass scale – Enjoy!
