Ignore The Propaganda - Ukraine Isn't Winning But World War Three Is Back On Zelenskys Agenda

 

The toxic dwarf in Kiev is obviously throwing a hissy fit at the way he has been sidelined in world news coverage by what is going on in Iran and around the Strait of Hormuz, in Israel and Lebanon and by the farce that is UK politics these days. obviously bored with performing Prokoviev;s Prelude with his piano playing penis, Zelensky is quite obviously trying to escalate Ukraine's war with Russia again, the  Ukrainian leader having publicly announced he is seeking to "bring the war" to Russian soil, amid nightly drone attacks which have come in the hundreds and even thousands of late.

President Volodymyr Zelensky is seeking to seize on the momentum of repeat drone hits on Russian refinery and energy infrastructure - a reality Russia has suffered over many months, leading to a current fuel crisis spanning dozens of cities and regions, and especially Crimea, which has temporarily halted fuel sales to common citizens altogether this week.

Ukrainian media is touting a new Zelensky plan to ramp up the pressure on Russia over the next 40 days, aimed at "pressuring Russia to end its war".

Ukrainian Presidential Office

The ever more delusional Zelensky  has ordered Ukraine's State Security Service (SBU) to launch a new 40-day operation, which also includes "plan for long-range sanctions, medium-range sanctions, and the results achieved by the SBU," the  said on X. He's further calling it an "influence operation."

"For several months in a row, the SBU has demonstrated the highest performance in defending Ukraine’s positions on the front lines through the use of various types of drones," Zelensky said on Thursday evening. According to more of the statement:

I approved a 40-day influence operation for the Service against the aggressor state aimed at compelling it to end the war.

Importantly, for several months in a row, the SSU has demonstrated the highest performance in defending Ukraine’s positions on the front lines through the use of various types of drones. The Center of Special Operations “Alpha” leads in terms of the occupier’s personnel and equipment neutralized.

Earlier, in mid-June, Ukrainian Defence Minister Mykhailo Fedorov proclaimed  "Hell is beginning," for Russia and its military. "Logistics are being cut off. Crimea is being isolated," he said at the time.

All this is pure propaganda, Ukraine's drones are not capable of delivering significant payloads of explosive, the pall of smoke we see over Russian cities on TV news are just that - smoke, visual effects. The drones are little more than petrol bombs, they hit, there is a shortlived burst of flame, a disproportaonatly large amount of thick, greasy black smoke and some scorched concrete and blistered paint.

The exception to this is this is Ukraine's success in hitting oil refineries and depots. Any kind of incendiary device, even a lighted match, is a danger in such sites where spillages and leaks are invevitable. 

Ukraine's asymmetric warfare against Russia's much-larger and better armed military machine is certainly having an effect. Russian forces still have the upper-hand on the front line in the east, but the pain clearly being inflicted on Russia's economy can't be ignored at this point. And the question is how much longer will Russia continue to ignore it before the Kremlin's patience finally runs out ad they launch a response that will finally draw NATO into direct involvement?

All these Ukie attacks into Russia are attempts to get Putin to escalate. There is a big difference between how Ukraine is hitting Russia and how Russia hits Ukraine with long range strikes. Russia is hitting Ukraine with glide bombs, Iskander missiles and TOS fuel air missiles among other things. These weapons can take out city blocks and reinforced bunkers. Ukrainian drones don't have the destructive power of a ton of missile warhead dropped from the edge of space or a 2000 lb bomb. Ukrainians make their strikes look good for the media  by adding kerosene to a 10 lb warhead. makes lots of smoke and fire but doesn't do a hell of a lot of damage.  

Ukrainians would love nothing better than involving Russia in a war with NATO and making the Russians have to defend across Europe and the arctic against an alliance with 10X the population. That would certainly take the pressure off Ukraine.

Putin ain't stupid. He's keeping his focus on his objective

And for Zelensky, World War Three is back on the agenda.

Trump's Four Week Timeframe For The US Proxy War With China Is Not Looking Good

 

The war on Iran is spreading out of the Gulf region and escalating – and will continue do to so for a while. Tehran is being bombed to smithereens, and the Iranian navy is (soggy) toast, but the Strait of Hormuz, the key sea route though which 30% of the world's oil flows is closed the hydrocarbon infrastructure in the Gulf is shutting down or gets damaged, the economic pressure on the global economy is starting to show. Iran does not need warships to keep the Strait closed, just some mobile missile launching rigs and a load of cheap but highly effective drones.

The Strait of Hormuz, gateway to The Gulf (Picture: The Telegraph)

Speculatig about the likely length of the war does not answer the question of why the U.S. decide to attack Iran now. U.S. President Trump has give about a dozen different reasons none of which holds up to scrutiny. Iran wasn’t making nukes, didn’t build intercontinental missiles and had no intend to attack anyone. Its internal situation was and is stable.

The reason that makes most sense, although it has not been given by Trump himself so far, is that the US campaign against Iran is a proxy war with China, part of Trump's Grand Strategy to halt the rise of the communist state to true superpower status. 

The goal is to obtain control via a puppet government in Tehran over Iran’s enormous oil and gas reserves so that they can be used as leverage against China for coercing it into a lopsided trade deal that would derail its economic expansion and thus restore US-led unipolarity.

Trump claimed that the US’ military campaign against Iran is to “defend the American people”, while many critics have alleged (whether in jest or not) that it’s to distract from the Epstein Files, but a few astute observers have realised that it’s actually about China. It was explained here that Trump 2.0 “decided to gradually deprive China of access to markets and resources, ideally through a series of trade deals, in order to imbue the US with the indirect leverage required to peacefully derail China’s superpower rise.”

To elaborate, “The US’ trade deals with the EU and India could ultimately result in them curtailing China’s access to their markets under pain of punitive tariffs if they refuse. In parallel, the US’ special operation in Venezuela, pressure on Iran, and simultaneous attempts to subordinate Nigeria and other leading energy producers could curtail China’s access to the resources required for fueling its superpower rise.” The resource dimension that’s relevant to Iran is a major part of the US’ “Strategy of Denial”. 

The decision by USA and Israel to go to war against Iran was, according to Alistair Crooke speanking on  Andrew Napolitano's YouTube show today, confirmed at the end of December, coinciding with Treasury’s attack on Iran’s currency/economy. The economic attack was followed by the orchestrated protests within Iran, which was accelerated by violent elements seeking to escalate violence on all sides, coordinated with external propaganda networks. 

  Current indications are that the Americans are trying to get some kind of ceasefire put in place, but their track record of negotiating in bad faith is severely limiting any progress there. Israeli hubris appears to have gone mute – three days ago they were joking about bomb shelter “pajama parties”, and now the joke is on them and they have yet to be seriously targeted. There is a very high chance should matters proceed as currently, that some sort of “doomsday” weapon will be employed by US and/or Israel (nuclear bomb, neutron bomb, etc)

There are also rumours that China is supplying Iran with weapons and technical support. What The Pentagon appears to have overlooked in their plan of campaign is that they are not fighting an ordinary enemy in Iran, they are fighting an ideology.  

Meanwhile after an incursion by Israeli forces in Lebanon, an announcement was made that the Tehran - funded terror group Hezbollah had been “disarmed” in the south. As for Gaza, the Board of Peace looks sure to be dead after a single meeting.

Iran Carries Out Threat To Close Strait Of Hormuz And Disrupt Global Oil Traffic.

 

 

A European Union communique said on Sunday that vessels have been receiving VHF transmission from Iran's Revolutionary Guards saying "no ship is allowed to pass the Strait of Hormuz".

The strait is the world's most vital oil export route, which connects the biggest Gulf oil producers, such as Saudi Arabia, Iran, Iraq and the United Arab Emirates, with the Gulf of Oman and the Arabian Sea.

The official, who spoke to Reuters on condition of anonymity, said Iran had not formally confirmed any such order. Tehran has for years threatened to block the narrow Hormuz waterway in retaliation for any attack on the Islamic Republic. 

The latest Automatic Identification System (AIS) vessel-tracking data, via Bloomberg, shows that tanker traffic in the Strait of Hormuz has been paralyzed, with only a few tankers still transiting the critical maritime energy chokepoint.

Though the USA claims to have disabled more than half the Iranian Navy The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) threatened today to set fire to any ships trying to pass through the Strait of Hormuz, according to state media.

Around 30 per cent of the world’s oil travels through the narrow shipping lane, bordered by Iran, the United Arab Emirates and Oman, each day and around 30,000 boats pass through it each year.

Prior to the IRGC’s announcement, tankers were still moving through the Strait but in much smaller numbers, with 150 vessels anchored just outside its mouth.

Three vessels were hit off the coast of Oman, although the circumstances remained unclear. However  maritime sources confirm the oil tanker Athen Nova stopped in the Strait of Hormuz after being reportedly struck by two drones launched by the Iranian Revolutionary Guards.

Swiss bank UBS advised clients that "Iran's Revolutionary Guards commander said the Strait of Hormuz is closed and they will set any ship on fire that tries to pass through, Reuters reports, citing Iranian media. WTI crude oil is now up more than 7% following the headlines."

Bloomberg Headlined:

• IRGC ADVISER SAYS WON'T LET OIL LEAVE REGION: IRAN STATE TV

However, the loss of IRGC naval power should not lead investors to discount the regime's asymmetric capabilities, such as using missiles and drones to target tankers in the narrow waterway. 

Oil prices had already surged before the closure of the Strait, with Brent crude oil jumping 13 per cent to around $82 (£61) a barrel when markets opened on Sunday night. The increase took prices to a seven-month high. Coming so soon after Trump's 'regime alteration act in Venezuela disrupted tanker traffic from that oil exporting nation, this latest development is likely to cause a global crisis.

Iran has continued striking targets across the Gulf in response to a military campaign by the US and Israel, which killed Ali Khamenei, the Iranian supreme leader, on Saturday. Having already struck well defended US Naval and air bases in the gulf region, the Iranians have shown through the effectiveness of their lo tech drones that loss of marine power will not prevent them closing the strait.

Russian Aircraft Threaten Estonia, Drones Attack Poland. It's All Bollocks Intended To Drag NATO Into The War

 22 Sepember 2025

The warmongering efforts of Starmer, Macron and other European NATO leaders and the neo - Nazi regime in Kiev, as once again they try to fabricate a reason for NATO (i.e. American,) troops to get involved on the ground in Ukraine, are as always laughable. This report from the New York Times is typical of the misinformation being pumped out by governments and mainstream media.

Russian Fighter Jets Enter Airspace of Estonia, a NATO Member (archived) - NY Times, Sep 19 2025
Estonia’s foreign minister described the flights, which lasted for an unusually long 12 minutes, as an “unprecedentedly brazen” intrusion.

Three Russian fighter jets violated Estonia’s airspace on Friday for an unusually long period, some 12 minutes, in what Estonia’s foreign minister called an “unprecedentedly brazen” intrusion over the NATO country.

NATO responded to intercept the Russian jets, Allison Hart, the military alliance’s spokeswoman, said in a statement on X. “This is yet another example of reckless Russian behavior and NATO’s ability to respond,” she said.
...
Tensions were already high after at least 21 Russian drones flew in Polish airspace 10 days ago, prompting NATO to scramble fighter jets to shoot down some of them. That incursion was regarded by Polish officials, who provided an updated count of the drones, as a deliberate effort to test the alliance’s readiness and a dangerous escalation of the war in Ukraine.

The Russian Gebera decoy drones that flew over Poland have a range of some 600 kilometer (370 mi). If they had been launched from behind Russian lines they could not have reached Poland. The drones, which do not carry any weapons, were most likely abandoned in Ukraine, patched up and reprogrammed by Ukrainian services, and sent towards Poland. This was completely in line with the ways Ukraine has tried to drag NATO into its war even as allies try to persuade the Ukies to seek peace and end the slaughter.  

The 'unprecedentedly brazen intrusion' (according to warmongers in mainstream media) into the airspace of Estonia, if it has happened at all, did not take place over Estonia's mainland but near Vaindloo, (red circle on the map,) an uninhabited rock in the Gulf of Finland in the Baltic Sea, some 26 kilometer (16 mi) north of the Estonian coast.

The Gulf of Finland is a long branch of the Baltic Sea with Finland to the north and Estonia to the south. At its eastern end is Russia and the city and port of St. Petersburg. Since the breakup of the Soviet Union  the Gulf has been designated as neutral water, with none of the nations on its shores claiming territorial rights.

The NY Times piece does, of course, NOT mention that. It is worded to make the reader believe that Estonia was somehow endangered.

The Russian military says that its jets did not violate Estonian airspace: According to Russia’s deputy ambassador to the UN, Dmitry Polyansky, the Russian jets conducted a planned flight and “did not stray from the agreed route, nor did they cross into Estonian airspace” as they flew over “the neutral waters of the Baltic Sea, over three kilometers from the island of Vaindloo.”

Estonia could have established these facts on its own but doing so was not on Tallinn’s agenda, the Russian diplomat said. “Its goal is different: to stir up hysteria and accuse Russia of provocations despite any facts and common sense,” he added.

There Is Only One Way Ukraine Can End The War

As this blog predicted when NATO and EU member states shot themselves in the foot by reacting to Russia's invasion of Ukraine with sanctions that prevented Russia from selling oil, gas and vital raw materials to the countries that needed them most, the NATO and EU member states, the Russians have had no problems finding alternative customers for their gas and oil and no problem getting oil into the world's commodity markets through the back door.

Jingoistic Western Triumphalism Will Not End The War In Ukraine Or Cripple Putin, But It Is Crippling Western Nations

As the war in Ukraine grinds on and Russia steps up its economic war against the west and in particular The European Union, claims made recently by the idiotically 'woke' leaders of Europe's main economic and military powers that the West has a once-in-a–generation chance to severely weaken Russia’s capabilities, both militarily and geopolitically, look increasingly hollow. Putin's critics have cited 'Western unity' as one of the main reasons why Russia will be economically destroyed and politically humiliated when the Ukraine's military finally claim victory.

Russia's Biggest Air Attack Yet Strikes Ukraine Government Complex In Kiev

 

 SUNDAY 7 SEPTEMBER 2025: Russia's bigest ever aerial assault on Ukraine struck the capital Kiev early this morning. At least nine missiles and hundreds of drones made impact on Sunday, local officials said. Some sources on the ground report the  assault may be seen up to 1,000 projectiles launched.

Crucially for the progress of the war, this is the first ever aerial strike directly targeted Ukraine’s main government complex in the heart of central Kiev. Government buildings in the capital have thus far been sparred in the Russian 'special military operation' (SMO) - but Sunday's attack suggests the Kremlin could be turning toward all-out war. It appears that once again the Russian's are trying to ram home to Ukraine the message, "You've lost, now stop fighting," because today we also learned that Putin had invited Zelensky to Moscow to negotiate a ceasefire but Zelensky, true to form behaved as if the Ukies are winning by telling the Russian's Putin would have to go to Kiev.

Sunday's attack will certainly cause European leaders to ramp up pressure on Washington go to ahead and unleash Trump's threatened secondary sanctions on Moscow and its trading partners. European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen quickly took to  social social media, to criticise The Kremlin's latest strike on the Ukrainian capital.

Do Not Expect Much From The Russia - Ukraine - USA Peace Talks. The Nature Of War Has Changed

 In spite of delegates from Russia and Ukraine meeting with US officials in Saudi Arabia amid hopes finding a path to peace, as long as Ukraine keeps trying to dictate the terms of ceasefire when it is blatantly obvious Russia has the upper hand, while the slaughter on the front line may pause, as long as drones are available the conflict will go on.

The arrival of drones and other autonomous weapons technology has atered the nature of war forever.

Rustem Umerov, Ukraine’s defence minister, confirmed on Sunday that talks with the US had begun. The Ukrainian politician said he expected discussions to centre around proposals to protect energy facilities and critical infrastructure.

The Kremlin said a resumption of a Black Sea grain deal would be the “main” topic during its talks with the US on Monday. Some commentators in western mainstream media appear to have interpreted this as a surrender by Russia in the naval conflict but there is no evidence this is the case.

After separate calls with Mr Trump, both Vladimir Putin, the Russian president, and Mr Zelensky agreed in principle to pause attacks on energy and civilian infrastructure.

Mr Zelensky also previously agreed to a full 30-day ceasefire but Putin rejected this and shortly after agreeing to a partial pause in fighting, ordered an attack on Ukrainian energy infrastructure in the Donetsk region.

Ukraine later responded with attacks against several military targets, including the Kremlin’s Engels military airbase 700 miles deep inside Russia.

Mr Zelensky later admitted the ceasefire was unlikely to come into effect until it had been formally agreed in a document between the two countries.

Ukraine has reportedly prepared a list of targets to give to the US that would be off-limits during any partial truce. So business as usual from the stupid, trigger happy Ukies.

In The Daily Sceptic CGW writes:

The introduction of drones into modern warfare has indeed resulted in significant changes to military thinking – which the West has still to assimilate. It is, for example, interesting that Iran apparently considers the idea of an Air Force composed of incredibly expensive modern fighters to be outdated, preferring a huge fleet of inexpensive drones.

Drones result in massive casualties to both armoured vehicles and military personnel, which explains the slow and careful advance of Russian forces. Russia has certainly suffered significant manpower and equipment losses but so has Ukraine: the morbid count of bodies exchanged by both sides was last well in excess of 10:1, if I remember correctly.

The US strategy of weakening Russia has failed completely since Russia is now militarily and economically significantly stronger than before the SMO, despite – or one could argue – because of the sanctions from both USA and Europe.

“Neither the world nor Ukraine trusts Russia” is absolutely not true. Russia has always kept its word in agreements with Ukraine, including the recent agreement not to attack energy infrastructure (which was immediately broken by Ukraine). And the world outside the West is very happy to place its trust in economic relationships with the country.

Trump may, in the case of Russia alone, play the statesman and demand the two sides stop fighting but who are they fighting against? It is USA that started and continues this proxy war against Russia, using Ukrainians and their country as abject, disposable pawns: to what purpose? Precisely how does USA benefit from a “strategy of weakening Russia”?

As I have written before, Russia is a major source of the world’s resources, would it not be more profitable for USA to encourage good relations with Russia rather than war against the country? Or do you mean Russia should be politically weakened, so that USA can continue playing bully boy in the world’s playground?

The world outside the West is tired of USA’s hegemony. USA has convinced its obedient subordinates in Europe to also wage war against Russia at great expense – again, to whose benefit? Does anyone in Europe benefit from this war? Are you going to once again claim that Russia is about to conquer all Europe, despite being supposedly so weak?

USA is also financing Israel to continue its genocide in Gaza and the West Bank, and to continue bombing almost every neighbouring country: how sick and tired do you think the populations around the world are of USA today? The West is still subject to the propaganda pumped out by its mainstream media but that is not the case in the “Global South”. And now Europe is also experiencing just how little it is valued by USA but our glorious politicians are still stuck in their globalist world, much to our detriment.

Couldn't have put it better ourselves.

Will Commodities Be The New Reserve Currency As The Death Knell Of The Dollar Sounds?
Many respected economists and market analysts who favour the free markets approach concur that we are heading towards a new economic reality that will see the collapse of the US$ as the default reserve currency, to be replaced not by any other fiat currency such as the Euro or the Renminbi, but by a system in which  commodities are the primary denominator of value. Should this turn out to be the case we can expect an acceleration of the shift in geopolitical power from west to East.

Ukraine confirms loss of first F-16

 We told you they would not be the deal maker in this war:

via BBC News, 29 August 2024

One of the F-16 fighter jets sent from Nato allies to Ukraine has been destroyed, a Ukrainian military source has told the BBC.

The aircraft went down amid a barrage of Russian missiles on Monday, killing pilot Oleksiy Mes, Ukraine's military said. It marks the first loss of its kind since the planes were delivered earlier this month.

The cause of the crash was not a direct result of an enemy missile strike, the Ukrainian military claims.

It said the pilot destroyed three cruise missiles and one drone in Russia's largest aerial attack to date.

 Oleksiy saved Ukrainians from deadly Russian missiles," the Ukrainian Air Force wrote in a statement on social media.

"Unfortunately, at the cost of his own life."

The statement did not specify the type plane involved, but a military source told the BBC the pilot was flying an F-16.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky officially confirmed on Tuesday the US-made F-16's were being deployed to shoot down Russian drones and missiles.

This week, he asked allies to allow Ukraine to use long range missiles to hit targets further into Russia.

Around 65 F-16s have been pledged by Nato countries since US President Joe Biden first authorised willing European allies to send them to Ukraine in August 2023. .... Read all >>>

Update (5:15pm ET) via Zero Hedge: It appears that the US-made F-16 fighter jet, which was handed over to Ukraine earlier this year, was downed by a Ukrainian Patriot air defense system in a friendly fire incident, Ukrainian lawmaker Maryana Bezuglaya said cited by TASS. "According to my information, the F-16 of the Ukrainian pilot Alexey ‘Moonfish’ Mes was shot down by the Patriot anti-aircraft missile system due to a lack of coordination between the [military] units," she wrote on Telegram. The lawmaker criticized the Air Force of the Ukrainian Armed Forces for falsely describing the incident as "a crash."

Are US Supplied Long Range Missiles Really Winning The War For Ukraine?
Since very soon after the start of the war between Russia and Ukraine western powers, USA, UK, EU and NATO have been doing everything possible to prolong and escalate the war.

So Are We Really Sleepwalking Into World War Three?

Last night (14 - 15 April 2024,) Iran's anticipated retaliation for Israel's strikes on Iranian assets in Syria took place, when a large number of drones and around 15 cruise missiles were launched at targets in Israeli territory. Propaganda released by Israel and its western allies claims that 'most' of the Iranian equipment was shot down, but did not state how many or of what type. With luck and a bit of common sense on both sides that might be the end of the matter. 

 What should concern us all now is whether Israel will retaliate to this retaliatory attack for Israel's regular assaults on Hezbollah militias which have for months been shelling and bombing targets within Israel in retaliation for Israsel's invasion and alleged genocide in Gaza which in turn was a retaliation for the brutal and murderous incursion into Israel's territory by Hamas terrorists on October 7th, 2023.

But now Israel is threatening more strikes against Iran in retaliation for last night's attack. The growing worry is that if these tit-for-tat attacks continue one side or the other will bomb a major population centre, an act which would guarantee a response from the major powers, USA and China, that are allied to Israel and Iran respectively. And as this blog has tried to warn readers many times, there are elements in both nations that would welcome such a development.

It is difficult to see a way out of this situation, but further escalation will almost certainly result in all out war. In propaganda releases both sides are claiming victory in last nights action, as reported above Israeli sources claim most of the drones and missiles were shot down while The Chief of Staff of the Iranian Armed Forces, Major General Mohammad Bagheri, announced on Sunday that two important Israeli military sites were targeted in Iran's response and hinted that the drones were merely a distraction. 

According to Bagheri, the Israeli intelligence's headquarters in "Mount Hermon," and the Nevatim Air Base were destroyed in the operation carried out earlier today, dubbed Truthful Promise. “A considerable number of drones and cruise and ballistic missiles have been used in this operation with well-thought-out tactics and proper planning, as neither the Iron Dome nor the Zionist regime’s missile defense shield could take any significant action against this operation." 

 “Their [Israeli] population and economic centers were not hit, so that the criminal and aggressive Zionist army would realize that their action won’t remain unanswered. We are definitely prepared to defend our soil and interests,” the army chief said. Bagheri said that Washington knew about the attack on Iran's consulate, and "it gave the green light to the [Israeli] occupation entity" to carry out the strike. 

"If the Zionist entity retaliates against Iran, our next response will certainly be much broader than this operation." - Commander of the Iranian Revolution Guard Corps, Brigadier General Hussein Salami, said that verified reports showed that the Iranian response has been significantly more successful than anticipated. Salami said that Tehran is still gathering further intel about the damage caused by the missiles on the targets, "but a number of the impacts, about which we have accurate, documented and field reports on, reveal that the operation [had] greater-than-expected success,” He emphasized that "It could have been conducted on a wider scope, but we confined to Israeli facilities used to attack our consulate [in Damascus)]”. 

 He also said that the Iranians have cemented "a new equation with the Zionist entity," which is to respond to any attack on Iranian territories, announcing the start of a "new page of confrontation with the Zionist enemy." On analyzing the reports from both sides it seems there were two attacks overnight. The first was by slow, easily neutralised drones, this was announced in advance by Iranian sources. The low cost Iranian drones are easy to defend against and so claim victory. The second attack was with cruise missiles, on military targets, and apparently succeeded to some extent as Israel has not denied Iran's claims to have hit military targets. 

 More significant perhaps is that Israel's air defenses were turned up to 11 last night with (allegedly) GPS jamming, anti-missile systems fully engaged, NATO providing intel, and US, UK & Jordanian Air Forces involved. Yet that lot still (apparently) failed to stop attacks on Israeli airbase(s) so the much hyped Iron Dome did not work.

The airbases targeted are likely to host US nukes and that is what makes the attack such a big deal . It tells the US that their nukes aren't safe in Israel which may create many problems if it comes to light that Israel officially has US nukes? 

More concerning for anyone smart enought to know that should this incident escalate the antagonists are two nations run by religious fanatics. Neither government would let a little think like the destruction of all human civilsation stand in the way of defending their god. So further escalation could easily mean we;re all fucked. How fucked are we? you might well ask. If it kicks off we're fucking fucked.

Recall, too, that US Secretary of State John Kerry demanded last month, with typical haughtiness, for Russia to «bring Assad to the negotiating table». Not that there is much to discuss as far as Washington, London or Paris are concerned. Assad has to go, in their arrogant view, sooner or later.

The religious minority was terrorized by the “Islamic State” during the militant group’s campaign in Iraq and Syria and hundreds, possibly thousands of Yazidi women were raped and used as sex slaves by IsIS terrorists.

Have They Learned Nothing From Iraq?
After the debacles of Iraq, Afghanistan and Libya, not to mention the unfinished business in Yemen, one might hope the political establishments and the mainstream media might have learned something about military interventions to effect regime change in third world nations which are culturally millions of light years away from the liberal democracies.

Germany, Italy Refuse To Join Deep State's Syria Regime Change Coalition
As madness grips most members of NATO, with our own British Prime Minister Theresa May trying to out - Trump Trump in her displays of gung ho egomania, two nations at least are taking a more rational view. Italy and Germany have said they will not be involved in, or even support airstrikes on Syria.
