Prof Marandi argues that the murder of the IRCG colonel may have been committed by MEK’s members (People’s Mojahedin Organization of Iran), or some ISIS terror group, all working under the Israeli Mosad umbrella, with likely involvement by the usual Western intel services (NATO), especially British and US.

The Subtleties of Anti-Russia Leftist Rhetoric
18 minutes readEDWARD CURTIN—While ostensibly about European anti-war and anti-NATO activists caught on the horns of a dilemma, the piece goes on to assert that although US/NATO was guilty of wrongful expansion over many years, Russia has been an aggressor in Ukraine and Georgia and is guilty of terrible war crimes, etc.
There is not a word about the U.S. engineered coup in 2014, the CIA and Pentagon backed mercenaries in Ukraine, or its support for the neo-Nazi Azov Battalion and Ukraine’s years of attacks on the Donbass where many thousands have been killed. It is assumed these actions are not criminal or provocations.

Offramps and Blind Alleys: NATO is Reduced to Directing Traffic.
26 minutes readSo supplying Ukraine with weapons so that it can absorb even more of a beating over a longer time by a much larger and stronger opponent is now just legitimate and sensible. Kind of like giving a punch-drunk fighter amphetamines so he can go back in the ring and get his head torn off by the gorilla he’s fighting. And who, pray, was the source for these ‘credible claims’? Alexey Navalny? Stas Belkovsky? The Riddler? Any of the dozen or so ‘Kremlin-watchers’ the west regularly calls upon for ‘analysis’ that later proves to be about as accurate as it might have been had it been foretold by groundhog shadows?
Ukraine is not going to ‘win’, and the west knows that. It could give Zelensky nukes and Ukraine would still lose, and that is kind of foreshadowed by its willingness to capitulate to Russia’s demands for Ukrainian neutrality and a pledge to not join NATO, expressed nearly a week ago. Whoops! Surprise! Even though Ukraine is willing to formally renounce its NATO aspirations, western eggheads tell us that joining NATO is written into Ukraine’s constitution, and it cannot change its mind in wartime!

Almost 85% of rabidly imperialist Neocons are Jews. Russophobia runs deep in the Jewish community today, yet, it didn’t use to be that way. Not when progressive and left-wing Jews had a voice in the media and the civic life of the US and Western Europe. Before Zionism preempted the Jewish conversation with its obsessional mono focus on Israel, Jews were leaders in many vital struggles, some outright revolutionary. Where did they go? And now we have this.
