Political unity continues to be a fading memory in the United States, and, as I previously noted here, that is okay with me. The media’s endless prating about the need for bipartisanship amounts to calling for the republic to be sentenced to death. Why would any decent, law-abiding, and patriotic American want to have anything to do with any Democrat or many of the Republicans, though the departure of Senators Flake, McCain, and Corker and 40 retiring Republican congressmen is a step in the right direction for that party.
What the media means by political unity and bipartisanship is the surrender of Trump’s base and all decent Americans still blessed with commonsense to the dictates of the Democratic Party on open borders, murdered infants, a daily increasing menu of ever-more-lunatic gender identities, media censorship, congressman and senators derived from reconstituted swamp scum, higher taxes, gun seizure, the end of free speech, a judiciary eventually formed from mad feminists, fake science, climate-change fanatics, sexual deviants of every imaginable kind, anti-Americans, and illegal aliens, and the final ruination of the republic, its Constitution, its history, and the citizens who remain loyal to them. The future of the Democratic Party, its members, and its media really can only be warmly anticipated by Americans if that evolving future is accompanied by a sound track driven by the steady, up-tempo beat like that found in the admirable composition by the noted German composer Werner Gruner, his Opus MG-42.
This said, we are now seeing a united U.S. Senate that is strong for confrontation with Russia, as well as for ending relations with Saudi Arabia and overthrowing its government. That rare unity, of course, is not the product of the Senate’s concern for the security and welfare of the republic and its citizenry. Rather, it is the result of the Senate – and the House of Representatives, for that matter – being owned by disloyal Jewish-Americans and their ultra-rich and savagely pro-Israel organizations. These Israel-Firsters clearly prevail over any semblance of America-First patriotism in the Senate and Congress whenever it comes to doing the bidding of their nation of first preference.
The fact that a nearly unanimous Senate wants to have President Trump publicly and economically beat up Vladimir Putin and militarily threaten Russia by further reinforcing NATO is utter madness worthy of a Marx Brother’s movie. After consulting with European diplomats and George Soros, Ukrainian President Poroshenko – a EU/U.S.-backed purveyor of fascism – sent three of his navy’s ships into Russian waters without asking permission for their transit. The Russians, ever wary of any but Russian adventurism in the Black Sea region, reacts properly, and seizes the three trespassing ships and impounds them and their crews. The Russians are within their rights, and an appropriate apology from Poroshenko’s government probably ends the incident and restores the status quo.
But, no, most of the one-hundred U.S. senators have decided to use Russia’s legitimate defensive action as something approaching an issue of high national-security interest and danger to the United States. This is a claim that does not sound logical even if you say it fast: for example, “Poroshenko’s navy deliberately violated Russian waters. Moscow seized the trespassing ships and crews. Putin therefore is getting ready to invade Ukraine and the U.S. military and taxpayers must ride to the rescue of Ukraine’s fascist regime.” In other words: Ukraine attacks, Russia defends, the West says Russia wants war, and this amounts to a Russian threat to the United States. Come on.
There are admittedly few good guys involved in the Ukraine-vs-Russia confrontation, but that is neither here nor there. The face-off is simply none of America’s business. The EU, George Soros, and the anti-American, money-hungry clique of Obama, Clinton, Biden and his son, and McCain ran a “regime change” operation in Ukraine, replaced a pro-Russian government to anger Putin and Russia, and, for their trouble, expense, and intense embarrassment, got a fascist ruler and regime in the Ukraine, an economic basket case there to support, and Russia’s fully justified reacquisition of Crimea. But this kind of farcical and humiliating result imparted no lesson in the minds of Western interventionists; indeed, they seem to think it would be fun to repeat it, apparently eager to earn another dose of embarrassing comeuppance from Moscow.
Or could it be that in the United States, the anti-Russian fervor and the bipartisan support for it is a function of Israel-First’s control of the U.S. Congress? The Ukraine-Russia confrontation poses no threat to the United States; the only correct response is let them fight it out if that is what they want to do. If the mighty EU decides to go after Russia without America, so be it. It would be most interesting, in fact, to watch Russia’s version of the Wehrmacht’s panzer divisions rolling down the already burning Champs Elysees. That would be a sight to savor, as the permanently adolescent EU mandarins get their collective ass handed to them by the tough, ruthless, and adult realist in the Kremlin.
But whose best interests lie in maintaining a consistent and high-level of U.S.-Russia animosities. The answer can only be Israel. The Russian government has troops stationed near its border with Syria, as well as naval and air assets nearby; it is maintaining and seems to be strengthening the Assad regime’s staying power; it is building new military and naval facilities in Syria; and it is supporting – or at least acquiescing in — Iran’s ambitions in the region. From Israel’s national-security perspective this situation is close to intolerable. Israel, however, though great at fighting semi-trained forces armed with Korean War-era weapons, is a midget power compared to the military capabilities of Putin’s Russia.
Next, amazingly, all of the Senate and many congressmen are still trying to use the dead journalist Jamal Khashoggi as a spear to run through the heart of both Saudi Crown Prince Muhammad Bin Salman (MBS) and the jobs of many American workers. Now, dead journalists are, these days, a dime a dozen; as noted previously, a UN spokesman claims that one is killed every four days, but there is no Senator expressing anger, grief, and vengefulness every fourth day. For example, at least two U.S. journalists and a U.S. humanitarian worker – recall, even if Khashoggi’s parts are stitched back together he is not a U.S. citizen – were killed in a short space of time a few years back by the Islamic State (IS). These killings occurred at a time when Saudi Arabia, Qatar, the Emirates, and Kuwait were all supporting IS by allowing their young males to join its ranks to, and by sending donations to IS from both public and private coffers. Do you recall the ardor with which a unanimous Senate pushed the Obama administration to stop selling arms to the Saudis and the Gulf’s other tyrants? Do you remember how our NATO allies also stridently urged us to do so, and did so themselves? Do you recall how the U.S. and Western media demanded punishment of the Arab tyrants? For that matter, do you remember that the united Senate demanded the obliteration of the Kingdom after about 20 of its nationals – acting on the education they received in the Kingdom – killed nearly 3,000 Americans in 2001. If you do, you are hallucinating. None of those things occurred.
Why, then, is almost all of the U.S. Senate so intent on attacking Saudi Arabia and American workers with heavy sanctions over the death of the non-U.S. citizen, pro-Muslim Brotherhood, pro-mujahedin, buddy-of-Osama journalist Khashoggi? Simple, really. Saudi Arabia is still the headquarters of militant Sunni Islam – and especially the militarily inclined Salafist sect — and the Kingdom’s private- and religious-sectors still are the source of much of its funding. The current Saudi crown prince is unlikely to be able to tame the Salafist movement, but the timing of when it ends his tenure is hard to calculate. One knowable thing, however, is that the longer MBS holds power and pushes his so-called reform agenda, the more violent and religiously radical will be the forces that over throw him and try to rule the country.
In other words, a near-term overthrow of MBS probably would result in Saudi Arabia slipping back into the characteristics that marked the nation before the Crown Prince rose to power, a condition which Israel had learned to live with. A significantly longer, anti-Crown Prince campaign, however, would bring the Salafi militants to the fore, and, when successful, they most likely would put power in the hands of someone whose religiosity, patience, ruthlessness, and worldview resemble those of Osama bin Laden.
Now, what country would greatly and justifiably prefer a near-term reversion to the kind of regime that governed Saudi Arabia for decades before MBS? The answer is, of course, Israel, a nation and people wise enough to know that Arabs are not the stuff of which stable democracies are made. They also are wise enough to know that a prolonged campaign against the Crown Prince’s rule might well yield a religious Saudi Sunni/Salafist regime, one as, or more militant and stubborn than the Shia regime in Iran. In essence, for Israel, it is better to take the Saudi devil you have long known, the one who could count on the West to come to its defense as long as it tolerated Israel.
Another reason, perhaps a stronger one, for Israel’s preference for the good-old Saudi regime is the Crown Prince’s November, 2018, decision to build a nuclear research reactor in the Kingdom. The Crown Prince and his advisers appear to have decided that it was not enough to count on the willingness of the Pakistanis’ to come to their rescue with the nuclear weapons the Kingdom helped fund.
The default consensus in Israel and the West may well be that MBS’s construction of a nuclear reactor is due his regime’s fear of Iran, and there is some truth to that. But the view from the Israeli government must be focused on both Israel’s national security and the unavoidable conclusion that a long MBS tenure could yield, at its end, both a Saudi nuclear arsenal and a bin Laden-like leader, or worse a leader like IS chief Abu Omar al-Bahgdadi. This credible threat certainly will move Israel to act in ways that are aimed to make sure MBS remains on the throne for the shortest possible time.
Okay, so Israel’s interests require a new U.S.-Soviet Cold War and a fairly quick termination of the Crown Prince’s reign for what it sees as legitimate, life-or-death national-security interests, and only the Israeli government can define what those are and what actions are required to secure them. Military options taken against either Russia or MBS, however, are the road to Israel’s destruction, and patiently biding time may be suicidal.
The only sensible, utterly reliable answer to Israel’s quandary is for it to call on the services of one of the U.S. government organizations that disloyal Jewish-Americans and their organizations have corrupted and purchased for Israel’s use in manipulating U.S. foreign policy to further Israel’s interests, rather than those of the republic. In this case, their most suborned and enslaved tool was chosen to do Israel’s bidding; that is, the United States Senate.
As if possessed by John McCain’s war-mongering lust, nearly all of the Senators have sought – for Israel’s interests — to promote armed confrontation with Russia over the worthless-to-America Ukraine. Likewise, they have taken up cudgels for Israel in declaring that MBS’s rule is intolerable because he is thought to have ordered the demise and divvying-up of the anti-American Khashoggi. The Senate, in fact, is demanding regime change in Saudi Arabia, an action that could please only Israel and the worthless, now turning-on-a spit soul of McCain.
Not surprisingly, after being briefed on 4 December 2018 by the CIA’s director on the agency’s findings about Khashoggi’s death, four of the most reliable Israel-First senators – Charles Schumer, Richard Durbin, Lindsey Graham, and Robert Corker – told the media that the entire Senate must be briefed by CIA so it could then unanimously demand that the Trump administration take actions to terminate MBS’s rule, notwithstanding that such action would cost thousands of U.S. jobs, drive oil prices toward $100-or-more per barrel, and take pressure off Iran. As always for the Senate, Israel’s protection is the only priority, and no expense to achieve that goal is too costly, even if it is to be measured in the weakening of the U.S. economy and the useless wasting of the citizenry’s livelihoods, taxes, and soldier-children.
Both of these problems – Russia and MBS – are easily resolved. For the United States, the answer to both is America First, which means refusing to be involved in fighting the imagined Russian and Saudi threats to the republic posed by the issues of Ukraine and Khashoggi. For the EU, the answer is to solve – for and by itself — the Ukraine problem it caused by cooperating with George Soros and the criminals Obama and Clinton to overthrow the pro-Russia Ukrainian government. For Israel, the answer is to grow up and fight your own battles or, better yet, grow up and stop believing God intended for you to always get your maximalist demands. For nearly 100 corrupt and treasonous U.S. Senators, the answer is a coerced, ten-year term in the new Guantanamo Bay prison facilities.
