\nBlaine, WA<\/p>\n
by Rich Scheck<\/p>\n
Millions of those who supported Donald Trump’s efforts to defeat Hillary
\nClinton in last year’s presidential election were pleased to see him and
\nPresident Putin firmly shaking hands at the G20 meeting in Hamburg.<\/p>\n
Some pondered on how any potential for improved relations with Russia
\ncould have happened after Mrs.Clinton had called Putin “the new Hitler!”<\/p>\n
Because of that and many other reasons involving her corrupt ways….
\nincluding the theft of the nomination from Bernie Sanders….those who
\nopted for Trump as the lesser of two evils must have been encouraged
\nby yesterday’s apparent thaw.<\/p>\n
I say “apparent thaw” because despite the positive energy surrounding
\ntheir exchanges that includes a ceasefire in Syria that hopefully will
\nstart in a few hours, there is much to be deeply concerned about with
\nrespect to that beleaguered country.<\/p>\n
While all the world leaders were having a grand time during their stay President Erdogan has consistently supported ISIS since the beginning of its Moreover, the role of Israel in wanting to see Assad removed from power and With Congress finally starting to entertain notions of constraining executive war That along with Tulsi Gabbard’s efforts to see us “stop funding terrorists” means But the true dynamics of what is unfolding do not call for optimism despite the The current situation is reminiscent of the 1930’s where a Great Depression led The thirties were also characterized by a weak League of Nations and endless Those desiring an end to these endless wars and a dramatic improvement But for all the reasons I gave above to doubt that is true, I conclude that the I pray my analysis is wrong and that somehow sanity will prevail! That looks
\nin riot-torn Hamburg, Turkey dispatched another contingent of its armed
\nforces into the Aleppo region in Northern Syria.

\nrampage into Iraq and Syria. So this piece of mischief by him bodes poorly for
\nany immediate progress in stopping the war even as relations warm elsewhere.

\nit’s domination of US foreign policy means that any ceasefire can readily be
\nundermined by a false flag event like another faked gas attack.<\/p>\n
\npowers, Trump’s actions might be seen as a nod to a potential new reality in
\ndomestic politics that includes a budding anti-war movement spanning both parties.

\nthe 2018 off-year elections might see some major changes in the composition of
\nCongress that could embolden peace efforts in Syria and elsewhere.<\/p>\n
\nbaby steps outlined above. With so many nations invested heavily in the future
\nof Syria, the stakes are too high to see any of them fold at this stage of the game.<\/p>\n
\nto trade wars; military posturing; invasions of weak nations by strong powers
\njockeying for more influence; and political agreements that were broken soon
\nafter they were signed. Today, Syria is similar to Spain was then where a proxy
\nwar was fought between competing powers and ideologies for the fate of the future.<\/p>\n
\nmaneuvering by the Zionists to create a Jewish State. All those factors are
\nevident now with our debt-ridden global economy; budding trade wars; the
\nimposition of sanctions; color revolutions; interventions for regime change;
\npeace deals that don’t last and a United Nations that shows little ability or
\nwillingness to stop the fighting.<\/p>\n
\nin economic conditions can take some heart that, perhaps, yesterday’s
\nevents means we are finally moving in the right direction.<\/p>\n
\nanswer to my own question is, sadly, No! The war in Syria will go on for many
\nyears with more casualties, more refugees, more waste of precious resources,
\nmany broken agreements and a deepening drift towards the abyss.<\/p>\n
\neven more dubious than I thought now that Pope Francis has slammed the two
\nmen for having “a distorted vision of the world!” http:\/\/revolutionradio.org\/?p=178955<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-77247","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-uncategorized"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/stateofthenation2012.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/77247","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/stateofthenation2012.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/stateofthenation2012.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stateofthenation2012.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stateofthenation2012.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=77247"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/stateofthenation2012.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/77247\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/stateofthenation2012.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=77247"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stateofthenation2012.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=77247"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stateofthenation2012.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=77247"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
