Could Russia Broker Middle East Peace?


If America can't broker peace in the Middle East, is it time for the Russians to step in? They have a long history with the region – and aren't hobbled by an Israeli lobby. Link

  1. Excellent article by Fisk as usual.
    I have said for a long tome, that America can not broker a deal in the M/E. Nor can it broker a deal with N/Korea.
    The French, and the Brits should also stay out of it.
    IMO, Russia will use Turkey as a go between. Turkey has had their fill of being humiliated bu Europe. China will probably stand some where behind Russia and give a yay, or a nay. Russia has not forgotten the role Israel played in Georgia.

  2. And this was written before the commando raid on humanitarian aid ships headed for Gaza. I often wondered exactly what hold Israel had over countries such as the U.S. and Canada. Now Robert Fisk has illuminated that for me. But it's a very risky strategy, like arming a psycho and then hiring them as a security guard.

  3. Yes, Filo. I have just read that the US has blocked calls at the UN for an independent inquiry into the aid ships massacre.

  4. If only one thing comes to light out of this, it will be that even the dumbest, of the dumbest will now realize that America is a client state of Zionist Israel. I am ashamed to be an American once more. This country never fails to shame me and humanity. I have made up my mind for certain. Me and my wife who is Korean had a talk this morning. We will be moving to S/Korea in two years. I will be 61 y/o then, and I will live the rest of my life out there.

  5. You should move to Scotland, RZ. Its the Garden of Eden and will be independent of the Anglo-American-Israeli grotesquerie in a couple of years. Europe is the future. There is little sympathy with the US/Israeli anarchists in any European country.There are still some outposts of civilisation in the world. I am sure S.Korea is also one of them.

  6. LOL I have even thought of that.
    My wife being born in S/Korea they will take her back even though she is a naturalized American citizen. As me being her spouse they will take me back. Even though I was born in Germany and my parents brought me here at a very young age. I do not think I can regain my German citizenship. I visited S/Korea in 09/08 and felt quite comfortable there.

  7. I was never comfortable in my one visit to America four years ago. I drove from Toronto to Orlando over four days down the East Coast. A very long tree-line essentially but I was impressed by the Blue Ridge Mountains (and yes, we sang the song)and the majestic Monongahela River. All the people we met were friendly and polite. But there was an underlying malaise there and a tension that never diminished even in the laid-back South. Cars still had the yellow ribbon bumper stickers (Iraq related) which smacked of the same kind of flatulent patriotism which we see here at Wooton Bassett. I don't know if Americans ever think like this, but America isn't a country in my opinion. A conglomeration of different state-cultures. If you come to Scotland I will buy you a drink, RZ.

  8. A while back a blogger asked the question of what American culture was. Well his followers were not to happy about my answers. LOL
    I have posted a lot about the Gulag Gaza flotilla. The hits that I get are not from the states. :-)

    Ya, one never knows. It is a small world. Same here if you ever come out Arizona way in the next two years.
