ISRAEL TOOK UP THE SWORD

Israel shall now perish by the sword.

Iran today proved Israel cannot defend itself.

Even with the full weight of the US behind it.

Any Israeli retaliation will result in greater destruction, until Israel is no more.

THE RUSSIAN-ISRAELI DYNAMIC IS COMPLICATED

Russian and former Soviet (i.e., Ukrainian) Jews make up a significant percentage of the Israeli population, and ties between the Russian Jewish community and Israel remain close. This linkage has resulted in the Russian and Israeli governments maintaining close relationships over the years.

However, Israel’s irresponsible and illegal behavior toward Palestinians and the people of the Middle East, when combined with Israel’s strategic alignment with the United States, often puts it in an adversarial posture vis a vis Russian interests.

Russia has realigned itself geopolitically with Eurasia, and has established strategic relationships with nations Israel considers mortal enemies, including Iran and Syria.

The current Israel-Iran conflict is on a trajectory which will require Russia to take a side.

Every indication is that Russia will align itself with Iran.
How this plays out in terms of actions is yet to be seen.

But if Israel is not careful, Russian weapons operated by Russian personnel could be in direct conflict with American weapons operated by Israelis.

⁣ISRAEL AND IRAN: THE POLITICS OF WAR

On Oct. 1, Iran launched a massive ballistic missile attack on Israel.

According to a statement put out by the Iranian government, this attack was in retaliation for Israeli attacks in Gaza, Lebanon and Iran that killed thousands of Palestinian and Lebanese civilians, as well as several senior members of the Hamas and Hezbollah organizations, including the long-time head of Hezbollah, Hassan Nasrallah.

Israeli and US government sources claim that the Iranian attack, which involved between 180 and 200 missiles, was largely defeated by the combined US and Israeli missile defense shield over Israel and that the Iranian missiles that managed to break through landed in empty spaces, causing minimal casualties and damage.

However, the video evidence from the ground inside Israel during the attack clearly shows scores of missiles impacting targeted installations in rapid succession.

As talk of war between Iran and Israel heats up, we often find ourselves trapped in the process of dehumanization that precedes conflict—those we are about to try and kill, after all, cannot be allowed, in our minds, to possess the same level of humanity as we who are about to kill them.

This is especially so when there is a clash of cultures, such as between Iran and Israel. Sometimes we would all do well to pause and take the time needed to see our potential foe as they see themselves.

It might allow us to realize we are all, in the end, the same.

Enjoy this performance of a popular Iranian musician. Imagine yourself as someone in the crowd, listening. Do you feel threatened? The sound of songs is far better than the screams of war.

⁣MY FELLOW AMERICANS:

When the price of gas goes through the roof;

When you can’t afford to heat your home this winter;

When the lack of diesel keeps trucks off the road, and the shelves in our stores empty;

When you are unemployed, and the banks are calling you for your past due payments;

When you’ve lost your home and are living on the streets;

Remember…

It was Zionists like Mark Levin that made it all possible.

So when you’re looking for someone to blame, blame Mark and his fellow Zionists.

ISRAEL CANNOT SURVIVE WITHOUT THE USA
Interview for Gegenpol

@ScottRitter | Substack | Donate

DONALD TRUMP, KAMALA HARRIS, JILL STEIN

We need to have a national dialogue about nuclear war.

Now.

Deterrence is a flawed concept.

When it fails (and it will fail), we all die.

Arms control and disarmament is the only path forward.

But the existing treaties are expiring, and there are no negotiations underway to put in place new ones.

Which will trigger an arms race.

Designed to enhance deterrence.

Which we know doesn’t work.

This is insanity.

The American people deserve better.

The world deserves better.

Do better.

Let’s talk now.

Before it’s too late.

AMBASSADOR ANATOLY ANTONOV HAS RETURNED TO RUSSIA, HIS DIPLOMATIC MISSION OFFICIALLY “CONCLUDED”

Ambassador Antonov had served as Russia’s top diplomat to the United States since 2017. Prior to this assignment, he had served in a number of senior positions in both the Foreign and Defense Ministries, including as Russia’s senior arms control negotiator for the New START treaty. The confluence of knowledge about America and arms control made Ambassador Antonov the right man at the right time for the job…if only America cared as much about diplomacy as Russia did.

Instead, Ambassador Antonov spent seven years largely ignored by American officials and diplomats. His Herculean efforts to promote better relations with the US were drowned out by the cacophony of Russophobia promoted by those he had hoped to win over.

I got to know Ambassador Antonov in the last two years of his assignment. He invited me to a series of private lunches, where we discussed our mutual passion for arms control and how to make US-Russian friendship a reality. He also invited me to a number of official functions at the Russian Embassy, where I got to observe him ply his trade as Russia’s senior cultural representative. I am proud to call the Ambassador friend.

I know he was frustrated by the failure of his American counterparts and colleagues to accept the hand of friendship he had offered them. When we last met, on the sidelines of a piano concert celebrating the music of the great Russian composer, Nikolai Rimsky-Korsakov, he had just issued a warning to the US government that escalation in Ukraine could lead to nuclear war. The pain in his eyes over what would be his last official act was palpable.

When (or if, given the harsh reality of our present circumstances) the history of this phase of US-Russian relations is written, Ambassador Antonov’s tenure in Washington, DC will go down as one of the greatest diplomatic failures of the United States, a missed opportunity to take advantage of a good hearted, intelligent and knowledgeable man who sincerely wanted better relations between our two nations—a stance which reflected the official position of the country he represented. That the United States ignored and/rejected Ambassador Antonov’s extended hand is one of the great tragedies of our time.

I am proud that when his hand was offered to me, I shook it. I only wish those in a position to make policy had done the same.
