President
Trump's disclosure on intell about an ISIS op has created a
firestorm of misguided criticism toward the President as hyperbolic
propagandists are bent to perp. Russia can be something of a
trustworthy ally themselves in the matter of stopping the ISIS
advance. A shoot, bag and tag policy has continued from the Obama
administration toward the savage Islamic predators, so getting some
trust going with Russians following the giving of hate by the Obama
administration and press seems reasonable.
Letting
the Russians see the big board is risky of course as was noted in Dr.
Strangelove. Factually I am more concerned about the concentration of
wealth sending the vast majority of income the U.S.A. produces to
just 1% of the people. Oligarchy is developing and should be a done
deal with inherited wealth running receiving 4-5% return on their
vast capital networks as economic growth is just 2-3 %. Americans are
in the dark about that; complacent and dumbed-down and quite unlike
the founders.
The
Congress and media are lackeys of the 1% and supporters of tax cuts
for the rich. They are people that like the patriotic returns from
cold war style rhetoric. What is worse, the Middle East is really a
baloney political place. As President Trump works for peace most
sides work against the middle and flip flop so many unreasoned
opinions too. While they are certain they hate Russia and would like
it to be made part of the global oligarchy by default, Israel wants
Assad assassinated and I suppose a Wahhabist Sunni government
unifying the regional oligarchy as a piece of the global plutocracy.
Recently
a crematorium for allegedly disposing of bodies of mass executions
was reported to exist in Syria. It reminds me of that story of
thousands of bodies being found at a Mississippi lunatic asylum (no
not the media center of Mississippi). Even if Syria in the Assad era
is rough; it cannot just go away to let more religious democide occur
with Sunni driving out or killing Christians and Shia. Adult
supervisors will need to point out to the media and the 1% that Sunni
fundamentalists don’t get along with other religions, and sectarian
segregation is necessary in the long run and that goes double for
Jews.
For
stability to grow alternatively, the Assad government must control
its own geographic region along side semi-autonomous Kurds, Israel,
an expanded Jordan, Iraq and Iran. The repressive states of affairs
in Middle-East Sunni nations will need to evolve through
technological liberation without violent revolution or some sort of
radical regressive Sunni dictatorship of conservatives would follow.
In the meanwhile Brits will seek a younger Elton John clone to
corrupt heterosexual marriage norms in that part of the world I would
guess. Not a lot of basis for optimism today.
