War


Islamists take control of abandoned US embassy compound in Libya. Largest theft if 30 years.

Israel steals just under 1,000 acres of West Bank land for new settlement.

If peace-keepers in Golan Heights are supposed to keep Israel and Syria from fighting, they've failed tremendously since Israel frequently attacks Syria from the air.
"Israel has avoided taking sides in the three-year civil war in Syria."
Except for those air attacks on government forces. They're far from neutral.

The UN and Israeli government disagree on how many Palestinian civilians Israel killed.
"In its most recent count, the U.N. Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs reports that 2,104 Palestinians were killed in Gaza, including 1,462 civilians, among them 495 children and 253 women. Those U.N. numbers would mean that 69 percent of the total killed were civilians.
By contrast, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said this week that Israeli forces­ had killed “approximately 1,000 terrorists,” which would mean that far fewer of the 2,104 Palestinian dead were civilians — roughly 52 percent."
Maybe they'll start another war over this.

Another claim Ukrainians are losing to secessionists.
"The Americans put a 2-star air force general in charge (Major General Randy Allen Kee), brought in the CIA, brought in mercenaries, supplied leadership and presumably some intelligence, had a numerical advantage of 2-1, had a weapons advantage, and lost. The American-Ukrainian side seems to have applied the standard American tactic of brute force and firepower on cities, but it proved fruitless."
I'd like to see some references.

Obama considering strategy in Syria.
"In fact, there is apparently an option emerging from the bowels of the war machine that calls for an odd/even day plan to bomb both sides, thereby making clear that Washington is an equal opportunity spanker. Apparently, whether you use a 12th century sword or 20th century attack helicopter as a means of rule, you will be bombed by the “indispensable nation”, as Obama put it, adding that “no other nation can do what we do”."
As twisted as this is, it's probably true.
"According to AP, it appears that Syrian airstrikes are imminent, but could be carried out under the odd/even day plan:
“In an effort to avoid unintentionally strengthening the Syrian government, the White House could seek to balance strikes against the Islamic State with attacks on Assad regime targets.”
Is any more evidence needed that Washington has gone stark raving mad than even the possibility that such an absurd option could  be under consideration? Has not the imperial city on the Potomac become so inured to its pretensions of global hegemony and to instant resort to deployment of its war machine that any semblance of rationality and coherence has been dissolved?"
Yes.

Mainstream articles show how the US knowingly empowered ISIS, which they now want to attack while also attacking the Syrian government.
