Syria as a massive trap?
This is a very interesting perspective. Much of it makes sense to me. I’m not saying it’s correct. I’m saying Alex Krainer makes some very, very good points regarding the interactions between nations, particularly Turkey. Which, as Alex points out Turkey and Russia have some very serious deals between them. Pipelines, nuclear power plants etc., […]
https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/2025/01/06/ukraine-trump-russia-putin-zelensky-nato A Trump imposed bad deal. What is that exactly. Is that a frozen conflict? A negotiated settlement? Or a continuation of the status quo. Trump is not entirely innocent, nor is he entirely guilty. But perceptions must be managed, always. That said, I don’t think Trump will let this fight go- I don’t believe […]

What are the odds? penny2says: December 27, 2024 […]
Below is the link to my piece from July 2014 when a plane crashed (shot down) over Eastern Ukraine. The immediate spin similarities by Kiev & US “authorities” is too obvious to ignore. Also Mark mentioned Aliev was in the air, different plane, at the same time as this plane, flying to St Petersburg. Very […]
Dec 26/24- 7:12 PM EST- I’ve updated so scroll down to the bottom for the latest Spent a fair bit of time checking a variety of media outlets-Overwhelming the media presentation quotes unnamed sources making specific claims.The media outlets blaming Russia for the crash are also predominantly US, UK and/or other western backed media disinfo […]
Just an interesting point of view, excerpted below, read entirely at Responsible State Craft This relates directly to today’s earlier post. I don’t know that the US has that much leverage in the Arctic over Russia and China, but, perhaps they do? Russia and China want to trade in the Northern Sea Route. Consider it […]
