Just back from Accra and just about to set off for Berlin. I am very rude about the partiality of the Guardian’s focus on occasions, but they deserve congratulations for getting it spot-on with this article explaining Cameron and Hague’s sudden activism on Somalia.

I have read some kind remarks thank-you. And some believe I am mistaken or even wrong which is fair comment.
.
Anticipating or forestalling war can be a nefarious calling. My belief in the power of intention tells me that without the wisdom and strength of feeling of my followers, the effort is doomed to fail. Kingfelix like most of us hope that war can be avoided and others doubt that ‘silly games’ or ‘playing ‘evil’ against itself’ is my misfortune.
.
In Iraq invasion aftermath widened divisions so dangerously that they helped unleash a civil war. A sense of entropy lingers. In Libya a Human Rights Watch researcher estimated there are 250 separate militias in the coastal city of Misurata, the scene of perhaps the fiercest battle of the revolution. From being heroes, those militias have become the most loathed in the country. Deception as disinformation and propaganda by the West brings with it misery and chaos.
.
Consider the siege of Homs where foreign terrorists, traitors and defectors have murdered civilians and French fighters have recently been identified despite denials by French minister, Alain Juppe. The denial of UNSC sanctions by Russia has prevented the ‘awesome death-dealing of NATO’ which Craig described in his post, ‘Death in Syria’ hoping that Syrians are saved from that escalation of civil war.
.
According to British and Israeli intelligence Russia has upgraded the Jabal Al Harrah surveillance station it maintains in Syrian territory in order to provide Iran early warning of an Israeli attack.
.
The surveillance station, located south of Damascus, had been able to monitor air traffic in Israel as far south as Tel Aviv, as well as northern Jordan and western Iraq.
.
The monitoring station had been providing Mr. Assad with information on the Syrian resistance movements.
.
Russia also has expanded the capabilities of a Russian-equipped Syrian radar station on Lebanon’s Mount Sannine in order to extend its range to include Cyprus and Greece, and observe U.S. and Israeli naval and aerial movements in the eastern Mediterranean.
.
This expansion also would permit Russia to provide Tehran with a warning if American planes head east from the Mediterranean in the direction of Iran.
While the upgrade of Jabal Al Harrah was under way from January through mid-February, the Russian aircraft carrier Kuznetsov was in the Syrian port of Tartus, where its electronic systems maintained an alert for possible Israeli air formations heading east.

Though inveterately cynical image-makers may disagree with me I took note of Putin’s unartfully spontaneous outburst of fraternal tenderness when he kissed an unknown child, a boy, in the Kremlin yard before the gaping eyes of his dumfounded excursionist-parents. Putin is not inclined to narcissism, leads not rules, without imposing his personality and making a cult of it and he has learned from mistakes and those of others.
.
Today, protection of the security and the interests of own citizens is an absolute rule for any civilized country. So, it seems we have lived to see really crucial changes, even if they are just declared. The concept of indivisible unity of foreign and home policies is something I believe in. Putin says that neither of them should be superior, but both be mutually subordinate and synergic: both should be the instruments, goals and means of each other.
.
I risk tribulation, affliction, mockery and torment, nevertheless I have played my cards according to my own conscious and can only await the outcome.
Thanks Mark for that enlightenment.
“Putin is not inclined to narcissism, leads not rules, without imposing his personality and making a cult of it and he has learned from mistakes and those of others.”
Is this Kevin Putin from Bognor? Mark, I think this is a bit irrelevant(to the people in Russia) but also symptomatic. I remember the Greenham Common schism, where half the people disagreed with those meeting peace groups in the USSR because by doing so they were supporting opponents of the regime. Go figure, as Uzbek in the UK says.
Mark Golding – Children Of Iraq,
Thanks about the elaboration on Kuznetsov and the associated data.
,
Fact is you and I and others, that is many others, we are legion in our opposition to the smash and grab policies of the morally, ideologically, and financially bankrupt bunch of sharp operators, whom akin to the local drug infused addicts on a mission to rob little old ladies leaving bingo parlours.
,
Murder is wrong, theft is wrong, bullying is wrong, and to stay silent whence the murderous thieves are in sight is wrong. World is tired of the mass murder of innocent people, and the plunder spree dressed up in the phoney concerns about rights, and values.
@mark
.
Thanks for your extra comments. I only bothered to write you because I have respect for what you say (and also for passerby and mary).
.
It seems we all agree on the goal, trying to avoid war, while disagreeing on the motivations of those who might also play a part (Russia/China). I think it’s pretty clear that my position is it doesn’t really matter (for now) what the motivation is to stop the US, so long as the US and its allies *are* stopped. If Putin does it because he’s how you depict him, fine, if he does it because he is not, fine.
.
So, how are you going to feel about the fact that the upcoming Russian election probably isn’t fair (although no unfairer than the one’s sanctioned as ‘successes’ by US and its allies). Seems rather asymmetric, for the people of Russia, democracy is the loser, while for us it will be the pain of sitting through a full media week of hypocritical finger-wagging and endless pontifications on the sacredness of the ballot box.
Dirty ops or psyops?

18 French officers and 100 paratroopers captured in Homs, a Lebanese MP claims

A Lebanese parliament member, Asem Konsoa, claims that the French are interfering in Syria’s politics, citing 118 French military caught in Homs fighting alongside rebels

.
France says Syrian president’s promises ‘manipulation’ France condemns Homs massacre, urges UN to act A pro-Syria Lebanese Member of Parliament (MP) accused France of secretly sending troops to Syria.
.
The Lebanese Baathist MP Asem Konsoa claimed that the Syrian regime forces arrested 18 French officers and 100 paratroopers, along with 70 Lebanese for joining and fighting within the ranks of the protesters in the restless city of Homs.
.
Konsoa added that such a “scandal” might threaten the political future of the French President Nicolas Sarkozy. The MP vowed to divulge more information kept under wraps about the Lebanese “conspirators.”
.
The Lebanese MP anticipates that the armed conflict will cease within a month’s time, claiming the Syrian army is increasingly imposing its control on the Baba Amr neighbourhood in Homs.

“Consider the siege of Homs where foreign terrorists, traitors and defectors have murdered civilians”
Very unfair to call Assad a foreign terrorist – unless you are argiong that his wife put him up to it.
“Putin is not inclined to narcissism, leads not rules, without imposing his personality and making a cult of it and he has learned from mistakes and those of others.”
Yet another comedy momemt based on what I hope is ignorance. As for the public kissing of children in public perhaps you note that this was one of Stalin’s favourite tricks.
Netanyahu’s informal meeting with Canadian prime minister Stephen Harper is a Machiavellian precursor to his engagement with US president Obama in which he hopes to exert further pressure on America for a strike against Iran’s nuclear energy sites before Obama’s tenure ends.
.
Canada has lucrative military trade with Israel and since being elected in 2006 Harper has promoted strong Canadian support of Israel, stronger, in some respects, than that of Israel’s biggest patron, the United States.
.
Netanyahu will attempt to ‘screw’ Obama down by projecting these strong ties with Canada in his negotiations on Monday.
.
I say this to Harper – the world remembers that the Canadian expression of goodwill toward the Palestinian people was left on the cutting-room floor when Foreign Affairs Minister Baird addressed the United Nations General Assembly September last. Copies of the draft texts of the speech, obtained under the Access to Information Act (FOI), show Baird used a radically reworked text when he represented Canada for the first time at the General Assembly on September 26, 2011.
.
Harper either suffers from amnesia or more likely apathy and indifference over Israel’s attempt to sneak into Jordon and assassinate a senior Hamas operative using Canadian passports, a deception that required Canada to recall its ambassador to Israel.
.
Canada was the first country to boycott the new Hamas government — even before Israel. Canada and most Western countries consider Hamas a terrorist organisation.
.
I also remind Harper and Obama that Canada supports the so-called two-state solution and that means resetting Israel’s borders to those in place prior to 1967.
.
I will publically declare Obama’s Nobel prize for peace null and void if he bows to Israel’s demand to destroy another sovereign state on fabrication, subterfuge and vilification, a bloody ball-game that will murder and maim thousands of innocent children in Iran’s town and cities close to nuclear installations, breed hatred and revenge and even precipitate world war.
Anon The One And Only,
.
For the record I don’t engage in banter. I enjoy criticism; mockery shows a distinct lack of acumen and is, quite frankly humdrum and lifeless.
Obomber is speaking to AIPAC at the moment. Won’t hesitate to use force..recognize Israel’s right to exist..
“For the record I don’t engage in banter!”
“I will publically declare Obama’s Nobel prize for peace null and void”
I beg to differ.
“Obomber”
It must be a double act!
This letter published in the Independent yesterday is backing up all comments here, Somalia is another one on the list to come.
letter to the Indy on Saturday by Prof. Wade Mansell, University of kent, Canterbury.
headed: ironies of Israels new submarine
Your report concerning the possible strike on Irans nuclear facillities by Israel (feb. 29th.)might have alluded also to Israels apparent attempt to obtain “second strike” facillity.
Curerently undergoin sea trials is a new Dolphin class submarine built for Israel by a subsidiary company of Thyssen Krupp in Kiel, one of three to be delivered. This submarine, 68meters in lenght and understood to be capable of carrying nuclear weapons, is the largest submarine built in germany since the second world war. It is claimed in the German press that these new submarines have the advantage of being more difficult to detect, and to have less need to break surface, as they run on fuel cells. The apparent intentions is to mount a permanent patrol of the coast of Iran.
perhaps of equal interest is that one third of the purchase price of a third submarine to be built will be [paid for by Germany up to 135 million Euros and as part reparations – this was revealed in a Wikileaks report from the US embassy in Tel Aviv. The reperations element seems to relate to Israeli claims against the GDR before reu8nification.
The disparity between reporting of Irans nuclear policy and the almost total silence concerning Israels nuclear weapons and its refusal to join the Non Proliferation Treaty or even to allow international inspection must be a matter of incredulity in Middle eastern States, if not in Europe.
And just to heap irony upon irony, according to the Jerusalem Post in 2010, the Iranian state holds a 4.5% stake in ThyssenKrupp.
Mary,
Obama and his cringing genuflections to the ziofuckwits gathering ought to have done his knee caps no good. It is a wonder he could be heard with his head so far up the collective butts of the “master race” gathered in the gala.
Perhaps he wears knee pads!
.
He kissed the women on the stage and shook hands and/or hugged the men. There was a
standing ovation. Apparently Peres was the warm up act.

Obama warns of force against Iran, but urges diplomacy
Barack Obama addressed the America-Israel Public Affairs Committee
.
Iran nuclear crisis
Oil embargo impact
Q&A: Nuclear issue
Key nuclear sites
Q&A: Sanctions
.
President Barack Obama says the US “will not hesitate” to use force to stop Iran obtaining nuclear weapons, but says diplomacy could still succeed.
.
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-us-canada-17251279
.
The report has been changed since it was released. A video of Obama speaking has been removed. Wonder why?
US President Obama has told AIPAC today, “When the Goldstone report unfairly singled out Israel for criticism, we challenged it. When Israel was isolated in the aftermath of the flotilla incident, we supported them. When the Durban conference was commemorated, we boycotted it, and we will always reject the notion that Zionism is racism.”
.
What is the Golstone Report?
.
It is a United Nations condemnation of the attacks upon the civilian infrastructure of Gaza and the objective of Operation Cast Lead, which was to punish the civilian population. For example, para. 1884 of the report reads: ‘In this respect, the operations were in furtherance of an overall policy aimed at punishing the Gaza population for its resilience and for its apparent support for Hamas, and possibly with the intent of forcing a change in such support.’
.
Operation ‘Cast Lead’ murdered 352 children – These are their names (Peace be Upon Them)

So terribly sad. We must never forget them and all those adults who were killed too.
Even worse to read it in black and white. 3500 words of poison.

The internal social-political-economic climate is turning against the right-wing extremists who control Israel, leaving a frustrated population which has very limited alternative political representation.
.
Tel Aviv can’t get more than 1 in 5 Israelis to support an attack on Iran, a fact that doesn’t seem to dampen their demands that the ‘West’ take military action.
.
Record numbers of Israelis are now using legal/religious loopholes to avoid national service.
.
More Jews left Israel in 2011 than ‘returned’, a statistic that is trending upwards for 2012.
.
US public support for Israel is now at it’s lowest since 1967.
.
Obama knows all this, which is why Netanyahu will be going home having been firmly told that if Israel attacks Iran it will be on its own. Obama’s message will be simple, no Iranian bomb, no attack on Iran.
Thank you Mark Golding.
Unquestionably Israel is a menace to world peace, a barbaric illegitimate theocratic, intolerant genocidal, nuclear-armed threat to all of us.
Bloodthirsty inhuman monsters prevailing on the weak and vulnerable. Evil Shits.
Our own governments and all three main political parties, assisted by a dysfunctional mendacious and indisputably equally culpable media, have been for a long time and remain spineless and treacherous collaborators in this mass-murdering despotism. It’s time we put our own house in order and indicted them for treason – openly and willingly in the service of a foreign-based criminal conspiracy – and as accessories before and after the fact to crimes against humanity, we need no other authority than our own people’s will, the evidence is irrefutable and over-whelming.
I have reliable information that the perpetrators and ringleaders in this inhabit a ‘safe house’, protected by just a small number of armed thugs, at 10 Downing Street, London, a fortress, but one that could not withstand a prolonged siege; and are known also to congregate and plot their next outrage with others of their gang, in a disreputable place called the Houses of Parliament, also London, again easily engulfed by outraged humanity, till its very walls relent. It should be possible to arrest a large number of them in one fell swoop and given that these are capital offences and guilt so palpable, execution should be swiftly and efficiently carried out. I’m not suggesting anarchy or mob-rule, though we need some of that now and again; some notable, if by then unrecognisable corpses could adorn the Olympic venues with their grisly remains and still other live wriggling wretches could add a joyous celebratory note to the events with their gurgling demise, for the benfit of the crowd. Let’s make this Olympics one the world will never forget. With Cameron’s filleting as its centerpiece.
That wasnt very drole tee-hee.
“Obama knows all this, which is why Netanyahu will be going home having been firmly told that if Israel attacks Iran it will be on its own. Obama’s message will be simple, no Iranian bomb, no attack on Iran.”
Here is hoping this is true DownWith. Really hoping, because lack of popular support for war, hasnt stopped the destruction of peoples and values so far.
Mark: Though inveterately cynical image-makers may disagree with me I took note of Putin’s unartfully spontaneous outburst of fraternal tenderness when he kissed an unknown child, a boy, in the Kremlin yard before the gaping eyes of his dumfounded excursionist-parents.
.
Holy crap! I thought baby-kissing was a well-known routine of politicians but when I saw him doing it I had to go out and vote for him. Several times.
.
On the other hand, I don’t think it is always the mark of a man with a good heart that he fondles and kisses unknown children in front of their gaping parents. In fact, it is often a mark of quite the opposite.
.
Even our own venal, useless, know-nothing politicians wouldn’t dare do that kind of thing for fear of the public pillorying they would receive. It’s much easier to avoid that kind of ridicule if you are a known ex-KGB agent who finds it a jolly good wheeze to let people think he murders his opponents, rigs elections and will close down parties and media outlets that criticize him.
.
You’ve probably heard that old joke about Putin meeting Stalin in a dream and asking him how he can become the President again. “Oh, that’s easy,” says Stalin, “Rig the elections, kill your opponents and paint the Duma blue.”
.
Putin is silent for a second before asking Stalin, “Why blue?”
@Crab: Here is hoping this is true DownWith. Really hoping, because lack of popular support for war, hasnt stopped the destruction of peoples and values so far.
.
Don’t sweat it. The Whitehouse, the Defense Department, the CIA, the Pentagon, The NSA and about half a dozen other intelligence agencies have confirmed that there is no Iranian nuclear bomb program, there are no bomb making facilities and their is no desire to develop nuclear weapons.
.
Obama has always said that the US will only use military action to prevent Iran obtaining a weapon. Obama always clearly talks about nuclear weapons whereas the Israelis talk about “capability” and “programs” to try and conflate the issues.
.
So no Iranian nuclear weapons no US attack. This is why Notayuman is seething. I don’t think the Israelis will be stupid enough to attack Iran on its own. The best Iran can hope for from the US is material support. I also don’t believe, although anything is possible, that Israel will be stupid enough to use a false-flag attack on the US.
.
What we are seeing with Israel is a desperate attempt by the ruling elite to stave of the impending collapse of Zionism by starting a huge war against an ‘existential threat’. It’s glaringly obvious and most Israelis are not swallowing it.
.
Israelis are beginning to understand that the longer Zionists rule the less likely there will exist a country called Israel in the future, let alone a ‘Jewish State’.
@angrysoba You’ve probably heard that old joke about Putin meeting Stalin in a dream and asking him how he can become the President again. “Oh, that’s easy,” says Stalin, “Rig the elections, kill your opponents and paint the Duma blue.”
Putin is silent for a second before asking Stalin, “Why blue?”
.
Got any Boris Yeltsin jokes? That dipsomaniac was a favorite of the West wasn’t he?
.
He was always pissed and allowed Russia’s wealth to be handed over to organised criminals causing an economic collapse which enabled many Western corporations to do their vampire act on the Russian people.
.
That is why Yeltsin was popular in the West and derided in Russia. While Putin is despised in the West he receives almost 7 out of 10 votes from Russians.
.
Putin is no mug of Western interest like Yeltsin was, or you even, which is why he is demonised by the West. Putin makes Western leaders look immature teenagers.
Radio 4’s Today program seems to be exclusively devoted to assassinating the character of Putin and his legitimacy as the democratically elected head of the Russian Federation.
.
I don’t remember them going on this much when massive postal vote fraud was uncovered in the UK 2004 and 2010 elections.
.
And the best evidence that the BBC can come up with for the ‘rigged election’ nonsense is that Putin received more air-time on TV.
.
I’m sure Ron Paul will sympathise with that. After all it was the BBC who gave in-depth profiles on the likes of Michelle Bachman and Herman Cain and even hypothesised what a US would look like under their presidency while curtly deriding Ron Paul and quickly dismissing him as a no-hoper.
