Scott Ritter: 'Russia Isn't Getting The Recognition It Deserves On Syria' - Archived Message Posted by Rhisiart Gwilym on November 5, 2019, 8:17 am The cliched trope of amateur draughts-players versus professional multi-dimensional chess masters suggests itself again, inevitably. When the history of the fall of the Anglozionist empire gets written, the collapse of US 'diplomacy' into a ludicrous Punch-and-Judy knockabout will figure large in any honest account. And that just at the moment when the empire's capacity to inflict military compulsion around the world - always its primary instinct - also crashed into constant ignominious defeats, together with the terminal decrepitude of of its military-industrial capacity for actually producing effective weaponry (the growing actual physical inability of the US economy to produce such things as large electrical transformers, competent nuclear power stations, ice-breakers, etc, is a frequent theme of Dmitry Orlov's commentary these days; as he points out ironically, they have to ask Russia now to do these things for them). So: No competent diplomats, and a massive, cripplingly-expensive Eliot-Flabbins-style empty-balloon of a military, good for absolutely nothing, and increasingly check-mated by the new Russian weaponry (costing less than a tenth of the bloated US waste-chute). Peerless statecraft, Swampies! https://www.truthdig.com/articles/russia-isnt-getting-the-recognition-it-deserves-on-syria/ Message Thread: Scott Ritter: 'Russia Isn't Getting The Recognition It Deserves On Syria' - - Rhisiart Gwilym November 5, 2019, 8:17 am Re: Scott Ritter: 'Russia Isn't Getting The Recognition It Deserves On Syria' - - Mary November 5, 2019, 8:45 am   Searching
