By\u00a0Dr. Paul Craig Roberts<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/div>\n

Russia has\u00a0provided evidence<\/a>\u00a0that Washington is collaborating with ISIS in attacks on Russian forces.\u00a0<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n

In one Washington-directed attack,\u00a0ISIS tried to capture<\/a>\u00a029 Russian military policemen. However, Russian special forces entered the fray, and the result was spectacular losses for ISIS.\u00a0<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n

In another<\/a>\u00a0Washington-directed attack, Russian\u00a0General Valery Asapov<\/strong>\u00a0and two Russian colonels were killed in an attack that violated agreements.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Sooner or later it will dawn on the Russian government that Washington is not a rational government with which diplomacy can be practiced, peace pursued, and agreements reached. Sooner or later it will dawn on the Russian government that far from being rational, Washington is a criminally insane collection of psychopaths in thrall to the military\/security complex which, in turn, is in thrawl to its massive profits. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

In other words, for the powerful interest groups that control the US government, war is a profit center. No amount of Russian diplomacy can do anything about this fact.<\/span><\/p>\n

It is unfortunate that the Russian government did not realize what it was dealing with. If the Russian government had not projected its own rationality on Washington, the war in Syria would have been over a couple of years ago.\u00a0 Instead, hoping for a settlement, the Russians were stop-go\/stop-go, which gave Washington time to recover from the shock of Russian intervention and put in place plans to partition Syria in order to keep the conflict alive forever.\u00a0 Having dallied in hopes of a settlement, the danger of which\u00a0The Saker<\/a>\u00a0warns us is real.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The protests by black pro-football players by refusing to stand for the national anthem has come at an unfortunate time.\u00a0 It is playing into the hands of the military\/security complex which is using President Trump\u2019s loud voice challenging the \u201canti-americanism\u201d to whip up patriotic fervor.\u00a0 It is amazing how people fall for it every time.\u00a0 The military\/security complex and their presstitutes are creating public anger at those \u201cattacking our country.\u201d\u00a0 This anger will be turned from black football players to Russia.<\/span><\/p>\n

With the public in its pocket, the military\/security complex will increase its reckless provocations of Russia until we are all dead.<\/span><\/p>\n
