US & UK implicated in supporting al-Qaeda-affiliated terrorists currently on offensive in Syria

 

West backing terrorists in Syria – Russia

Russia has reports that the US and the UK might be implicated in supporting the al-Qaeda-affiliated militants currently on the offensive in Syria, Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov has said.

Hayat Tahrir-al-Sham (HTS) terrorist group, previously known as Jabhat al-Nusra, launched a surprise attack from Idlib last week and has since taken Aleppo and Hama. US journalist Tucker Carlson asked Lavrov who was supporting the terrorists in Syria, during the interview that aired on Thursday.

”Well, we have some information,” Lavrov said. “The information which is being floated and it’s in the public domain, mentions, among others, the Americans, the Brits. Some people say that Israel is interested in making this situation aggravated so that Gaza is not under very close scrutiny.”

“It’s a complicated game. Many actors are involved,” the Russian diplomat added.

Lavrov explained to Carlson that Russia, Iran, and Türkiye brokered a ceasefire in Syria in 2017 and again in 2020, calling this Astana Format “a useful combination of players.”

“The rules of the game are to help Syrians to come to terms with each other and to prevent separatist threats from getting strong,” the diplomat said. “That’s what the Americans are doing in the east of Syria when they groom some Kurdish separatists using the profits from oil and grain sold, the resources which they occupy.”

“We would like to discuss with all our partners in this process the way to cut the channels of financing and arming” the terrorists, he added. — RT

Our Take:

So, according to Sergei Lavrov—who is considered by many to be among the most respected and capable diplomats in the world—the entities backing ISIS in Syria include the United State, Britain, and Israel, among others.

We have already reported on the Ukraine special forces that are training these terrorists, as well as Turkey, who has otherwise been posturing that they will pivot away from Europe and toward Russia. Though Lavrov has now told Tucker that Erdogan is working with Russia and Iran to stabilize the country.

The way I see it, the resurgence of ISIS spells the end of both Neoconservatism and Zionism, because it will soon become clear that both of these political movements—which have used radical Islamic terrorism for decades as a rallying cry to justify their hawkish dispositions—are responsible for funding it.

Simply put, we just watched the Democrat Party get effectively destroyed (discredited beyond repair) during the recent election cycle, and now it is the GOP's turn.

I mean, honestly, how in the world is Lindsay Graham going to explain this? Meeting with Abdelhaqim Belhadj in Libya in 2011? The leader of the Libyan Islamic Fighting Group? The Al-Qaeda affiliate in Libya?

That guy in the picture with John McCain and Lindsay Graham later became the leader of ISIS in Libya.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but aren’t ISIS the bad guys? Aren't those who affiliate with them also bad guys?

It was Belhadj who led the assault against Libyan President Muammar Gaddafi, ultimately murdering him, and the primary consequence of this murder was that hordes of African migrants were unleashed to cross the Mediterranean and invade Europe. (Gaddafi had been holding them back for years.) The secondary consequence was that Gaddafi's legendary armory was raided and the weapons were distributed to CIA-trained "rebels" in Syria through Turkey.

What's insane is that, back then, Lindsay Graham was openly calling for Al Qaeda and the US military to murder Gaddafi.

This is a war crime, especially when you consider that the entire NATO-led operation into Libya was predicated on an Al-Jazeera report that Gaddafi had given Viagra to his soldiers and instructed them to rape women and children in the villages that were harboring terrorists. (This report was later proven to have been entirely fabricated. Whoops.)

Lady Lindsay could get away with this crap 15 years ago, because most of America (and the world) was completely apathetic to this situation in Syria, not to mention ignorant. But things have changed. We have changed. And now, we know what we are talking about when it comes to this theater.

Lindsay Graham should be arrested, and a tribunal should be empaneled to determine whether he did, in fact, commit any war crimes, and if so, whether those war crimes would be tantamount to treason against the United States government.

If we fail to pursue this justice, then we are not a moral society, and do not deserve redemption. That is why I think this story is being recycled, so that this justice can be pursued, and America can be redeemed for the horrifying crimes the State Department has committed around the world.

You are watching the systematic destruction of the Old Guard. — GhostofBasedPatrickHenry

Full Lavrov-Tucker Interview: US & Russia Need To Cooperate 'For The Sake Of The Universe'

Tucker Carlson first unveiled Wednesday that he had traveled to Moscow to interview Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov, and the full interview has subsequently been published Thursday night.

Among the most important messages conveyed was directed by Lavrov toward Washington and its allies, which "must understand that we would be ready to use any means not to allow them to succeed in what they call strategic defeat of Russia."

And referencing Russia's recent use of its Oreshnik hypersonic missile, Lavrov expressed hope that Kiev's backers took "seriously" the new weapon, for which Russia says there is no defense, as Moscow remains ready to use "any means" to defend itself. "We are sending signals and we hope that the last one, a couple of weeks ago, the signal with the new weapons system called Oreshnik... was taken seriously," Lavrov emphasized. — ZeroHedge

Our Take: Sergey Lavrov occupies an interesting space in the Russian story, often able to cut through noise in a way Putin's position doesn't allow him to.

His opening response to Tucker is Bicameral signal.

Lavrov is telling westerners that, while Russia effectively IS at war with the US, describing it as a hybrid war, he draws a subtle distinction between that and the America that has Russia's respect and admiration.

While anti-Russia propaganda entered the mainstream narrative circa 2016 with the advent of the Russia Collusion hoax against Trump, and while it no doubt accelerated during the 2022 panic pattern as Putin moved in to liberate the Donbas by Denazifying the Prussian Proxy state on his borders, Russia-US tensions have been seeded going back a century as the ultimate backdrop in what the Deep State has long seen as the ultimate prize in terms of a Great Reset trigger.

They wanted the last war to be Actual. The one we're getting is Narrative, and peace is going to be the winner. — Burning Bright
