Russia suddenly an ally ... again

How much more hypocrisy can anyone stand?

After the bloody terrorist attacks against Charlie Hebdo in Paris, the Western hypocrites changed their attitude on Russia, discovering (one more time) an ally.

From RT:

Russia 'should be an ally in the fight against terrorism,' Jens Stoltenberg, NATO Secretary General, stated during his visit to the Bavarian town of Kreuth. 'That’s why we still strive for a more cooperative and constructive relationship with Russia. We think it is important that Russia, which is our biggest neighbor in Europe, and NATO are working together on important issues like fighting terror,' the NATO head is cited as saying by Bloomberg. He also labeled the killing of 12 people by Islamist gunmen at the French satirical newspaper, Charlie Hebdo, as 'an attack on the free press, on free opinion and on our open societies.'

During his speech at the UN, Barack Obama, the president of the US, which is NATO’s leading member, labeled Russia as the second largest international threat – behind Ebola, but ahead of the jihadist Islamic State.


Just remember that according to the Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov, John Kerry said to him "Just ignore Obama's statements." (!) (http://observer.com/2014/11/john-kerry-advised-russian-foreign-minister-just-ignore-obama/), and you can take a small taste of Western diplomacy.

A few months ago, unable to control ISIS, the West rushed to close fronts and suddenly Russia and even Iran, appeared to be "sliping" to the ally side and moving away from the enemy side, despite the Ukraine issue: “Everything points to the fact that maybe some underground 'unofficial' channels between NATO and Russia have been mobilized, after a long time, so that to reach a - even temporary - ceasefire agreement in Ukraine.” (http://failedevolution.blogspot.gr/2014/09/closing-fronts-to-deal-with-isis.html), “It is characteristic that the US-Israel relations are not in the best shape, and this is not only due to the Israeli policy concerning Gaza, but also because the US are trying to approach Iran, and one reason is probably because they think that the Iranian army, which did not get involved in deleterious wars for many years, is suitable to contribute to the fight against the IS fighters.” (http://failedevolution.blogspot.gr/2014/08/temporary-turn-of-180-degrees-by-neocon.html)

Also, less than six months ago, Obama didn't forget to show his appreciation for Russia and China for their contribution on the destruction of the chemical weapons from Syria: “'We also thank our close allies and partners - Denmark, Norway, Italy, Finland, Germany, and the United Kingdom - for their key contributions to this mission, and we appreciate the assistance of Russia and China,' Barack Obama said in the statement.”, while didn't bother to mention Greece: “After all the assistance of the Greek puppet government, concerning the destruction of chemicals, and mostly, its tolerance to the fact that Cape Ray proceeded to the hydrolysis without any observers on board who could certify the successful completion without environmental implications close to Crete's shores, the US president apparently thought that there is no reason to mention a 'taken for granted ally'” (http://failedevolution.blogspot.gr/2014/08/greece-nowhere-between-allies.html)

He is the same man who labeled Russia as the second largest international threat and tries to tighten the grip around China, even in the military field: “According to some analysts, the US transfer 60% of their naval forces to the Asian Pasific, while they plan to build a similar "anti-missile" system in the region.” (http://failedevolution.blogspot.gr/2014/06/cold-war-20-dangerous-games-from_23.html)

When terror is out of control, Russia becomes an ally. The rest of the day, Russia is the enemy, for internal consumption.

F-35s & AI Chips: How MBS Outplayed Washington & Beijing

GVS Deep Dive  Saudi Arabia just secured two of the most powerful assets in modern geopolitics: the U.S. F-35 stealth fighter and tens of thousands of Nvidia’s most advanced AI chips. Washington hoped this would pull Riyadh firmly back into the American orbit.

Varoufakis: IT technologies will overthrow Capitalism

globinfo freexchange The former Greek Minister of Finance, Yanis Varoufakis, ended his recent speech on the Future of Capitalism, at the New School, New York, with some interesting remarks. As he said: The world we live in, is increasingly rudderless, in a constant slow burning recession, while at the very same time, the increasing concentration in the IT sector is creating the new technologies that will do that which the Left has failed to do: overthrow Capitalism. It is really very simple. The moment machines pass the Turing test properly, and you pick up the phone and you do not know whether the person you are talking to is a human being or a machine ˙ the moment we are going to have 3D printers operating as public utilities - you can send any blueprint to it and it can print from one pin to a motorcycle, or to a car - the moment that this happens, we have not just a process of Schumpeterian creative destruction, but we have a process where economies of sc...

Yanis Varoufakis   On 23rd October, Yanis Varoufakis testified in front of the Jury of Conscience in the context of the Gaza Tribunal. His speech focused on the economic forces underpinning the genocide of the Palestinian people.

Racing Extinction

suggested by failedevolution.blogspot 18th Thessaloniki Documentary Festival Scientists predict that humanity’s footprint on the planet may cause the loss of 50% of all species by the end of the century. They believe we have entered the sixth major extinction in Earth’s history, following the fifth great extinction which took out the dinosaurs. Our era is called the Anthropocene, or “Age of Man,” because evidence shows that humanity has sparked a cataclysmic change of the world’s natural environment and animal life. Yet, we are the only ones who can stop the change we have created.

Trump Welcomes Syrian Leader & “REFORMED” TERRORIST To White House!

The Jimmy Dore Show   President Donald Trump is planning a White House welcome for Syria’s new president, former al-Qaeda in Iraq leader Ahmed al-Sharaa, who was installed after the overthrow of Bashar al-Assad. Jimmy Dore argues that the U.S. and its allies, including Israel, have long funded extremist groups such as ISIS and al-Qaeda to serve foreign policy interests in the Middle East, so the embrace of al-Sharaa makes sense, even if it might confuse anyone who thought we took seriously the so-called “War on Terror.” He and Americans’ Comedian Kurt Metzger contrast Trump’s willingness to meet with alleged terrorists to his refusal to engage in dialogue with leaders like Venezuela’s Nicolás Maduro, accusing U.S. policy of hypocrisy and imperialism.  

A response to misinformation on Nicaragua: it was a coup, not a ‘massacre’

There is so much misinformation in mainstream corporate media about recent events in Nicaragua that it is a pity that Mary Ellsberg’s article for Pulse has added to it with a seemingly leftish critique. Ellsberg claims that recent articles, including from this website, often “ paint a picture of the crisis in Nicaragua that is dangerously misleading. ” Unfortunately, her own article does just that. It looks at the situation entirely from the perspective of those opposing Daniel Ortega’s government while whitewashing their malevolent behavior and downplaying the levels of US support they have relied on. Her piece is an incomplete depiction of what is happening on the ground, ignoring many salient facts that have come to light and which have been outdated by recent events. The following is a brief response to Ellsberg’s main points from someone who lives in Nicaragua and has observed the situation directly and intimately: https://grayzoneproject.com/2018/08/15/a-res...

Maduro's opening to China

“ Chinese President Xi Jinping on Wednesday said he hopes Venezuela will use bilateral financing mechanisms and channel more funds to the areas of energy, mining, agriculture and industry while meeting with Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro.” “ Financing mechanisms between the two countries total more than 50 billion U.S. dollars, according to Venezuelan experts. Financing mechanisms, including the China-Venezuela Fund, have provided financial support for some 256 projects. China and Venezuela upgraded their relationship to a comprehensive strategic partnership during Xi's visit to Venezuela in 2014, opening a new chapter in bilateral ties.” “ During their meeting, Xi called on the two sides to push bilateral ties to a higher-level. China supports Venezuela's efforts in restructuring its economy and establishing a manufacturing economic model, he said. Xi suggested the two countries push forward cooperation in the fields of oil exploration, infrastru...
