SpookyWeather Editorial Comment on the Neocon Wars in the Middle East and Ukraine.

Some things to consider: The US is already at war with Russia, via proxy, in Ukraine, along with the rest of NATO. This is a very serious reality that is being obfuscated, but is very real for the Russians. It kicked off with a neocon/CIA sponsored coup in 2014 that followed the same process that kicked off the war in Syria three years earlier (in 2011). The modus operandi was to have their (third party) assets fire on police/security services, and also protesters, in order to invoke widespread violence that would be blamed on the 'tyrannical Government' in order to remove it.

In Syria the Government did not immediately fall and Western/Gulf State/Turkish arms flooded into the country to try to bring about regime change - using sectarian extremists as their proxies. In the end, after more than 10 years of fighting, the neocon plot succeed. In Ukraine the Government fell but the country split after the ethnically Russian areas of the East, and in Crimea, backed by Russia, refused to recognise the coup Government in Kiev.

If the war in Syria had been rightly called out for what it was years earlier, which was a neocon driven proxy war, and arms supplies to al Qaeda aligned extremists cut, and the border with Turkey closed, the war there would have ended and there would have been no subsequent war in Ukraine, and certainly no war today against Iran (where Israeli aircraft are overflying Al Qaeda controlled Syria in order to hit their targets).

So by supporting the neocon proxy wars in Syria and Ukraine the Main Stream Media, and large sections of the public, helped facilitate this latest act of violence.

People crying about no war in Iran should have been against the war in Syria, and also Ukraine, but many were cheerleaders for it (supporting regime change operations).

We all need to wake up to the fact that the West is still firmly in the grip of the same neocon warmongers that brought you the 2003 war against Iraq and that the West really is at war with Russia. Ending that war should be a priority (with a land for peace deal, and demilitarisation/neutrality of Ukraine), along with a ceasefire in the Middle East.

Perhaps the only way to solve many of the conflict situations around the world is to redraw borders - there's a lot more to be said about that. The key message here is that the war against Russia in Ukraine, and the bombing of Iran, is the end result of previous actions that the public was conned into thinking was a good idea.

Note: Destroying the regional enemies of Israel is actually good for long term Israeli security, unless things spiral out of control and their rivals are given nuclear weapons. The reason the neocons have targeted Russia is because they've supported Syria (before it was taken over by Al Qaeda) and Iran. The neocon policy papers from the 90s have advocated for US global supremacy to prevent other powers, such as Russia, from meddling in their plans.
