Dmitry Medvedev on Borders & Boundaries

The Picture Says it All.

Dmitry Medvedev, Deputy Chairman of the Security Council of the Russian Federation, spoke about Russia's approach to the formation of a new world order at the Znanie.First marathon of the Russian Znanie Society that was held at the World Youth Festival in Sochi earlier this year which I covered in an article at the time. Medvedev’s speech/presentation at the event was noted for the new map that was displayed behind him during his talk, which is again depicted above. Finally, his talk’s been made into a transcript and published in Russian by the Expert online publication. It’s been about six weeks since he gave his talk and some will have forgotten it was even given. I must credit and hat-tip to b at Moon of Alabama for discovering this publication some of which he featured in today’s article. The concepts Medvedev discusses are even more relevant today than six weeks ago. As you read, remember this was an educational lecture given to mostly young adults:

Dmitry Medvedev: "Russia, like any great power, has strategic borders that lie far beyond geographical boundaries"

Russia's strategic borders, like those of any great world power, lie far beyond its territory. And they are based not on military force and the desire to remake the political map, but on the principles of equality, mutual benefit and partnership. This is the essence of the new international order that is gradually replacing the unipolar world. "Expert" considered that readers should familiarize themselves with the theses reflecting Russia's policy in international relations. With the author's consent, we publish the text of this speech with minor abridgements.
No state in the world can exist without borders. And not only on official maps, but also in a broader sense. When it comes to Russia, it is important to understand where and how its borders are delineated in our time. And what they may become in the future.
These questions are not rhetorical. And the answers to them are not as straightforward as it may seem at first glance. This is the basic system of coordinates in which our Motherland lives, and all of us live with it. We don't just exist, we think, we act, we fight, we win. We are building the future of a country that fulfills a special, fateful mission in the global world.
There are a few obvious things that our friends and allies are well aware of, and that our enemies should cut down on their noses.
First. We don't need someone else's land. We will never give up our own. So it has been and so it will be. This is the principle on which our state border policy is built.
March 31, 1814 is a significant date in our history. 210 years ago, Russian troops took Paris. Having restored order in Europe, having achieved a change of power in Paris to one acceptable to ourselves and the other allied states, we returned to our home with unfurled banners.
We have never gone so far to the West before or since. Why did we need it? Yes, it was necessary to eliminate the direct military threat. But, in addition, Russia pursued great geopolitical goals. One of the most important was the global security of our borders for a long time. And it can be effectively ensured only if the country is confident in the stability of the situation beyond the direct perimeter formed by border pillars. That is, on a much larger scale. Moreover, the larger the country, the greater the scale of external stability that is needed for this.
Authors of various geopolitical theories of various countries (from China to Europe and America) proceed from one obvious thesis. Any state, as a sovereign subject of international relations, has two types of borders: geographical and strategic.
The former are stable and officially recognized lines of demarcation and delimitation in accordance with international law, fixing the geographical boundaries of the State. This is one of the main elements of its political and territorial framework.
Within these borders, the State has full sovereignty. We are talking about strategic autonomy and independence from other countries, about the supremacy of power in the conduct of domestic policy. That is, what is usually called internal sovereignty. As well as independence in external affairs, that is, external sovereignty.
They prefer not to mention the second, strategic type of borders. Talking about them is kind of like a political move.
These boundaries are not limited to the physical size of countries, their airspace and territorial waters. They are not directly related to state sovereignty. The strategic boundaries of a state depend directly on how far its political power extends. The more powerful a state is, the farther away its strategic frontiers are beyond its borders. And the larger the strategic space on which such a country exerts economic, political, social and cultural influence. This is the zone of the so-called national interests of the state. However, strategic borders and national interests are not the same concepts.
In return, the strong powers that set the tone in world relations offered their wards military and political protection. Weak states, or worse, those that came to the end of their glory and power, became puppet or vassal states for their patrons, or, as they later came to say, "friendly" nations (the same thing, but less offensive).
For a long time, it was believed that the balance between geographical and strategic boundaries was unfolding according to an obvious logic. If a country's potential grows over a long period of time, its state sovereignty is strengthened, and its strategic borders are expanded. And geographical ones can catch up with them after the fact.
In weak countries, the strategic borders of the state are within the boundaries of their own territories. In unfavorable conditions, these boundaries can be reduced to a minimum. As a result, this leads to the loss of land that has been left without real control. This is how the Spanish colonial empire once disappeared from the political map of the world, having lost its possessions on different continents. Portugal's rule in Latin America, Asia and Africa came to an end. These countries have turned into geopolitical dwarfs, unable to influence key global decisions in any way. Now the very logic of civilizational development, as a punishment for geopolitical ignorance, is depriving France of its traditionally strong influence in the Sahara-Sahel region. And for a good reason.
Second. The presence of strategic borders outside one's own territory today does not mean that strong and responsible countries intend to go to war with their neighbors and redraw the political map. This is the difference between our time and previous centuries, when borders were subject to constant fluctuations and could be challenged at any time.
I would like to note right away that what is happening in Ukraine is a special case. We are not talking about expanding the borders of our state by means of effective occupation, and the so-called Ukraine is not at all rei occupandi. We are defending our territories, which have always been and will always be historical Russia. Our actions are a forced, but quite effective response to the Russophobic policy of the Bandera regime and the "collective West", its desire to destroy our statehood.
In general, Russia, like any great power, has strategic boundaries that lie far beyond geographical boundaries. And they are not based on military force or financial injections, but on a much stronger, almost unshakable foundation.
Third. There are several levels of Russia's strategic borders.
The first level is limited by the natural landscape (the Carpathians, the Iranian Plateau, the Caucasus Mountains, the Pamirs). And civilizational frontiers – it is clear that it is illogical to include a number of our neighbors in the Russian ecumene for historical reasons.
History has decreed that the core of our geostrategic space is the neighboring countries. They are bound to us by centuries-old traditions of cooperation and, in many cases, of statehood. Together with them, we are within a common cultural and value space, in the protection of which we are vitally interested. That is why we perceive our partnership not as something imposed, but, on the contrary, native, resonating in our hearts in a special way. But it is precisely this strategic sphere that our enemies have made their main target, seeking to create conditions for mistrust and outright hostility between Russia and its neighbors.
Russia's strategic borders also encompass vast territories in the Arctic. The principle "we don't want an inch of someone else's land, but we won't give up our own land either" is applicable to the topic of Russia's continental shelf in the Arctic Ocean. In the same line is our sovereignty over transport communications. We will not allow anyone to take what is ours, including the Gakkel, Lomonosov and Mendeleev ridges.
The natural security belt (the very core of our strategic space), which is the near abroad, is of enduring importance for Russia. No other world power has such a respectful collective name in relation to its neighbors. This concept is also enshrined in Russian doctrinal documents.
The key point is that we have no territorial disputes with the states that are part of this belt. In the years that have passed since the collapse of the Soviet Union, we have maintained profitable trade cooperation and comfortable interpersonal communication.

Russia does not dictate political will to its good neighbours, does not tell them how to live, does not threaten them with sanctions. Our country has never done this, and it does not intend to do so in the future

We listen to each other and always try to take into account our deepest interests in the broadest possible context.
If we talk about our second-level strategic borders, they cover the space that is commonly referred to as Greater Eurasia. That is why Russian President Vladimir Putin has put forward an initiative to create a Greater Eurasian Partnership. This is the key integration contour on our continent. Its essence is to unite the potentials of all states and regional organizations of Eurasia as widely as possible.
Alas, with the exception of the Old World. On the whole, we were ready to continue the same constructive policy with the European Union for the time being. Let me remind you that in the best years our trade reached almost €500 billion, but the EU member states have chosen a different path for themselves: to become instrumentum vocale for the United States, as slaves were called in ancient Rome. Just like them, the European countries are America's property. And at its behest, they are betting on confrontation and the destruction of everything that was created with great difficulty.
History, of course, will put everything in its place. Sooner or later, the population of Europe will give a harsh assessment of its traitors, who sacrificed its well-being to their overseas masters. But it's not about the grades. The question is what other price Europe will have to pay for the fatal mistakes it has made. And how this will affect the fate of hundreds of millions of its inhabitants.
And about the highest level of our strategic borders. Russia's global interests in the world are quite understandable and natural. They have not changed in recent decades. As a permanent member of the UN Security Council, our country is a great world power. And it will continue to provide healthy, appropriate care for those who need help. This can be seen in the traditionally strong relations with African countries and Latin America.
Fourth. In the case of the so-called "Ukraine" (or rather, Malorossiya), all our adversaries need to firmly and forever understand the simple truth. The territories on both banks of the Dnieper are an integral part of Russia's strategic historical borders. Therefore, all attempts to forcibly change them, to cut them off "alive" are doomed.
Our enemies constantly insist that Russia's main goal is to "seize" Ukrainian lands, some "untold treasures of the Independent": wheat, steel, gas, coal. But in fact, it turns out that there is nothing so special in Bandera's "Ukraine" in terms of economics that Russia, unlike the West, would not possess itself and in much more serious volumes.
In "Ukraine" the main wealth for us is of a completely different kind. The great value that we will not give up to anyone and for nothing is people. Close and dear to us. The Anglo-Saxons are consistently zombifying them. A large part of the residents of "Ukraine" are now confused, embittered, experiencing extreme stress and completely disoriented. Our task is to show them who is who. Remove the anti-Russian intoxicating plague from them. To bring people back to our perimeter. The concept of "Ukraine is not Russia" proposed by one of the former leaders of this "Independent" should disappear forever. Ukraine is, of course, Russia.
If Ukraine had not fallen into the stupidest trap set by the United States and its allies to confront our country by creating an "anti-Russia," everything would have been different. As our president rightly noted, if Russia had not been destroyed in its own historical territories, nothing would have happened.
Fifth. There is one contrasting difference between the approaches of Russia and the "collective West" (mainly the United States). America and its satellites are trying to extend their strategic borders to almost every region of the world. Under the pretext of "spreading democracy", wars are fomented all over the planet. At the same time, the goal is quite clear – money making.
In their neo-colonial fervor, they seek to impose their own values and foundations everywhere, send advisers and bring convenient rulers to power. Where the Yankees appear, expect trouble. Central Asia, the mountains of Transcaucasia, the waters of the Black Sea and the Caspian Sea, the islands of the Asia-Pacific region, the sands of the Middle East — for some reason, the Americans care about all these places. Their unhealthy geopolitical appetite is based on a network of more than 900 military bases deployed outside the United States, several ocean-going fleets. And on the world's largest military budget.
Let's imagine that a certain group of countries has emerged with the task of making the United States disappear from the map of the world. And she decided to "shove the hedgehog under the bare ass" of America, using painfully familiar tools for this. For example, by starting to destabilize the domestic political situation in the United States, dissecting the past in its own way, and promoting the topic of decolonization of the United States and its indigenous peoples. Insisting on the need to liberate the temporarily occupied territories of Texas and California. At the same time, they are placing military bases with strike weapons around America.
The reaction is obvious: such activity would have met with fierce opposition from the United States and could well have ended in the Cuban Missile Crisis 2.0. Just like it was in 1962. It should not be forgotten that Soviet missiles appeared on the Island of Freedom in response to the deployment of American missiles in Turkey. John F. Kennedy's administration threw a formal tantrum as soon as they were given a mirror response. Without hesitation, they put the fate of all humanity at stake in the game. This is the nature of the U.S. political regime. Only the current situation is much worse than it was in 1962. These are no longer missiles in Cuba and Turkey. This is a full-fledged war against Russia with American weapons with the participation of American special forces and American advisers.
Knowing full well where our strategic borders extend, the West spat on the foundations of centuries and organized a geopolitical intervention first in Georgia and then in Ukraine. We are witnessing similar attempts in Moldova and in the countries of Central Asia. Fortunately, the authorities of the Central Asian states are showing restraint and wisdom. Wishing prosperity to their peoples, they are guided by their neighbors in Greater Eurasia, and not by an obese and dependent Europe.
Sixth. For the West, the conflict over Ukraine has now turned into a confrontation between two civilizations. Ours, all-Russian or Russian (the core of which is the territories of Russia, Belarus and Ukraine), and the Western.
Our opponents are afraid to go against us directly. Although Western political and military madmen have been increasing their pressure lately (suffice it to recall the conversation of Bundeswehr officers – and how many of them have not been published), the Washington-Brussels puppeteers prefer to play war using their puppets.
Today, the West is repeating exactly what it has nurtured on both banks of the Dnieper in different historical periods. The current "Ukraine" (if we mean its ruling clique) is really "anti-Russia" in this case. History reminds us of how our ancestors fought against oppressors and aggressors: the Poles, the Swedes, the French, the Germans and other hostile Europeans. That is, with those whose grandchildren today came to "Ukraine" in brown clothes with Nazi chevrons and swastikas thickly stuffed on their bodies.
On the margins of propaganda battles, our enemies deliberately resort to shameless substitution of concepts. The West's seizure of "Ukraine" is called "liberation from the Russian dictatorship." And the imposition and support of the bastard neo-Nazi regime, created by the actor of the comedy series, is "support for democracy and freedom." And, on the contrary, our efforts to preserve the all-Russian space are presented as Russian "intervention" and "occupation."
It has long been clear to all normal people that this is a lie. Healthy political forces in the world are gradually becoming aware of the true state of affairs.

For any reasonable person who is not infected with Russophobia and has not been duped by Anglo-Saxon propaganda, the conclusions are obvious.

There is a harsh reality that Western countries will inevitably have to accept. The current historical context surrounding the demise of the unipolar world order suggests at least one terrible thing for them. Every major center of power on the planet will try to secure its own strategic boundaries. And America's power and influence have long been "wrong." Let's multiply this by the irreversible erosion of the US military superiority that developed after the collapse of the USSR, as well as the mechanisms of the liberal world order. Time is playing against the so-called "golden billion" today.
The strategic borders of states that do not depend on the Anglo-Saxons will become wider and stronger. The majority of the world's states are determined to strengthen fruitful cooperation in the name of improving the situation in international affairs and to build communication on the principles of sovereign equality, genuine multilateralism and civilizational diversity. This is the essence of the new international order, the creation of which is a matter for the foreseeable future. And everyone will have to reckon with our position on Russia's strategic borders. It's part of our identity. Basic principles in the field of foreign policy for decades. And we will not retreat from them. To friends for good, to enemies for edification.
We strive to make the space delineated by our strategic borders a zone of mutual understanding and constructive cooperation. The most obvious example here is the invaluable creative experience of Moscow and Minsk in building the Union State.

Our most important interest is not the acquisition of new lands, but a competent, predictable, sovereign government in neighboring countries, acting for the benefit of its citizens and the international community.

Today's neo-Nazi "Ukraine" is a battering ram against Russia, which is used to aggressively push Western ideological principles in the all-Russian historical space. This is yet another attempt to realize the centuries-old dreams of the West to throw our country back to the borders of the Moscow principality. The goal is obviously unattainable.
Jealously guarding their demarcation lines, the Western countries unceremoniously intrude into our borders. They are forcing us to divert our forces and resources to countering undisguised and shameless aggression. However, it would be much better for us and for the world as a whole to use this potential for another purpose. This is our own harmonious socio-economic development, improving the quality of life of our people. And ensuring global security, which is what we have always strived for, despite constant threats and provocations.
We will certainly bring the special military operation to its logical end. Until the final victory. Before the capitulation of the neo-Nazis. The dull senile people in Washington and Brussels are frightening: if the Russians gain the upper hand, then after Ukraine they will go further – to Europe and even overseas. You won't know what is more in this nonsense: the habit of shameless lies or senile dementia. In reality, everything is simple: we do not need the territories of Poland, the Baltic states or other European countries. But no one is allowed to oppress the people who live there, who are one with us.
Russia's inevitable victory will also give rise to a new architecture of Eurasian and international security. It should be reflected in new interstate documents that will "concrete" these realities. Including observing international rules of decency with all countries, paying attention to their history and existing strategic borders. The Western world needs to finally learn a simple lesson and learn to respect our national interests. [Format original]

The photos provided at the linked article were taken during his talk at Sochi, but for the sake of bandwidth were deleted. So, why the republication of this important policy speech that got so little coverage at the time of its initial presentation? I don’t have much to add beyond my initial commentary I recorded in the two related articles I published. I see much comment at MoA on b’s presentation. I’ll likely add more in reply to reader comments here.

Things to keep in mind...
Neo-Nazi ideology has become one of the main protagonists of political and social life in Ukraine since the 2014 coup d'état. Meanwhile, fascist ideology and blatant lies also permeate the consciousness of most people in the West. Those in the comfortable top 10%, the "PMCs" (Professional Managerial Class), are especially vulnerable. They support and disseminate such ideas. They are the executors of the actual ruling class' orders, those in the 0.001%, who remain largely invisible. The PMCs are the political class, the media whores, the top military brass, some people in academia, and the "national security/foreign policy" industry honchos. Push back against these unethical, contaminated people with the truth while you can.

AND...where the US Government is at:

Zionist Deterrence Myth Shattered: Rejoice!

The most despicable regime on the planet that Occupies Palestine and is run by what some term Zionazis with plenty of reasons current and historic has now seen what they so proudly declared to be their Deterrence Weapon—overwhelming force to be visited onto any challenger to the Zionist Genocide Project—shattered by Iran’s well measured and legal retaliation for the Zionists' many crimes, the most recent being the utter destruction of International Law by bombing the Iranian diplomatic compound in Damascus to murder several Iranian Generals.

Unlike the Zionists who prefer to attack and murder civilians, Iran chose to attack the military assets responsible for the Zionist attacks, where Iran appears to be quite successful. On the technical military aspects, I defer to the excellent article Simplicius composed which shows some of the same videos I saw last night of multiple missile strikes in a very tight grouping. Just one note, many of the photos shown claiming to be downed Iranian missiles are merely the booster stages of Iran’s multistage missiles that often have a manoeuvrable warhead and possibly impact at hypersonic speeds. The informed word is Iran’s attack was very limited, and it issued a statement saying it was satisfied with the results and no further punishment would be required unless the Zionists retaliated.

Two very important geopolitical outcomes were quickly made. First, Russia announced that Iran was acting well within its rights under the UN Charter and that Russia has Iran’s back, something that was hinted at two years ago but is now 100% overt. The second item is Biden’s saying the Outlaw US Empire won’t aid the Zionists if they decide to retaliate. A third minor development was Jordan’s acting in the Zionist defence. Other items would be the Emirati and Saudi relief that they’d reached peaceful relations with Iran as it’s now very clear just how strong Iran really is.

In closing this short note, I must strenuously endorse this Michael Hudson interview with Ania K., “Gaza: The Strategic Imperative,” that provides some of the hidden context to this longstanding conflict. I’m so very tempted to provide an excerpt, but the choices are too many, and I do want readers to read or watch what Michael has to share.*

Another Crooke Monday: Revulsion Escalates

Another Crooke Monday: Revulsion Escalates

After WW2, Hitler’s Plan Ost was revealed although not widely announced to the publics of the non-Russian allies. In fact, we can say it was actively suppressed since the US/UK wanted to use Nazis in their Anti-Communist Crusade that began as soon as the war in Europe ended. The plan’s goal was to eliminate 30-50 Million Russians, to essentially depopulate European Russia for the Lebensraum Hitler promised. Hitler came close to his target in what was WW2’s Genuine Holocaust. What Crooke reveals in his SCF essay is a similar Zionist plan for Gaza and beyond, which ought to cause further revulsion within readers who already understand the reality of the Gaza Genocide. Yet, there’s more as the Zionists prove they’re really no different from the Nazis, and I would say are even worse as even the Nazis didn’t commit the sorts of crimes the Zionists have in recent weeks. Of course, readers will judge for themselves.

Crooke also engaged in his weekly chat with Judge Napolitano. The conversation delves into the essay which you can now read:

We stand on the cusp of what might be termed Chaotic War. Not the formula used by Israel often in the past to intimidate adversaries; this is different.
Israeli reporter Eddie Cohen said, in the wake of the attack on the Iranian Consulate: “We are very clear that we want to start a war with Iran and Hezbollah. Do you still not understand?”
“Israel wants to drag Iran into a full-scale war in order to be able to strike at Iran’s nuclear facilities”, though these facilities are beyond American and Israeli reach, buried beneath mountains.
Cohen, and of course, Israel’s military leadership, will know that; but Israel nonetheless is locking itself into a logic that can only lead to defeat. Iran’s nuclear facilities are safe from Israeli assault. The destruction of civilian Iranian infrastructure, which is out in the open, may kill many, but will not, per se, collapse the Iranian state.
Trita Parsi places Israel’s objective in attacking the Iranian Consulate in Damascus in a different context:
“An important aspect of Israel’s conduct – and Biden’s acquiescence to it – is that Israel is engaged in a deliberate and systematic effort to destroy existing laws and norms around warfare.
Even during wartime, embassies are off-limits [yet] Israel just bombed an Iranian diplomatic compound in Damascus.
Bombing hospitals is a war crime, [yet] Israel has bombed EVERY hospital in Gaza. It has even assassinated doctors and patients inside hospitals. The ICJ obligated Israel to allow the delivery of humanitarian aid to Gaza. Israel actively prevents aid from coming in.
Starvation of civilians as a method of warfare is prohibited under international humanitarian law. Israel has deliberately created a famine in Gaza.
Indiscriminate bombings are illegal under international humanitarian law. Biden himself admits that Israel is bombing Gaza indiscriminately”. The list goes on and on … However, Israel’s breach of Vienna Convention immunity accorded to diplomatic premises – plus the stature of those killed – is highly significant. It is a major signal: Israel wants war – but with U.S. support, of course.
Israel’s aim, firstly, is to destroy the norms, conventions and laws of warfare; to create geo-political anarchy in which anything goes, and by which, with the White House frustrated, yet acquiescing to each norm of conduct obtrusively trodden underfoot, allows Netanyahu to grip the U.S. bridle and lead the White House horse to water – towards his regional End of Times ‘Great Victory’; a necessarily brutal war – beyond existing red lines anddevoid of limits.
As symbolically significant as the Damascus attack is that the U.S., France and Britain – after a brief ‘hat tip’ to the Vienna Convention – refused to condemn the levelling of the Iranian Consulate, thus placing the shadow of doubt over the Vienna Convention’s immunity for diplomatic premises.
Implicitly, this refusal to condemn will be widely understood as a soft condoning of Israel’s first tentative step towards war with Hizbullah and Iran.
This Israeli chaotic ‘Biblical’ nihilism, however, bears no relationship in purely rational terms to Netanyahu’s aspiration for a ‘Great Victory’. The reality is that Israel has lost its deterrence. It won’t return; the deep anger across the Islamic world generated by Israel through its massacres in Gaza during the last six months precludes it.
Yet, there is a second, adjunct reason why Israel is set on deliberately flouting humanitarian law and norms: Israeli journalist, Yuval Abraham reports in +972 Magazine in great depth how Israel has developed a AI machine (called ‘Lavender’) to generate kill lists in Gaza – with almost no human verification; only a “rubber stamp” check of about “20 seconds” to make sure the AI target is male (as no females are known to belong to the Resistance’s military).
The blatant extra-legality behind the Gaza ‘kill list’ methodology, as reported by Abraham’s various sources, can only be immunised and sheltered through normalising them as but one amongst a general pattern of illegalities – and in effect, claiming sovereign exceptionalism:
“[T]he Israeli army systematically attacks the targeted individual whilst in their homes — usually at night whilst the whole family is present — rather than during the course of military activity … Additional automated systems, including one, [callously] called “Where’s Daddy?” were used – specifically to track targets when they had entered their family’s residences… However, when a home was struck, usually at night, the individual target was sometimes not inside at all”.
“The result is that thousands of Palestinians — most of them women and children or people who were not involved in the fighting — were wiped out by Israeli airstrikes, especially during the first weeks of the war, because of the AI program’s decisions”.
“”We were not interested in killing [Hamas] operatives when they were in a military building … or engaged in a military activity,” A., an intelligence officer, told +972 and Local Call. “On the contrary, the IDF bombed them in homes without hesitation – as a first option. It’s much easier to bomb a family’s home. The system is built to look for them in these situations”.
“In addition … when it came to targeting alleged junior militants marked by Lavender, the army preferred to only use unguided missiles, commonly known as “dumb” bombs (in contrast to “smart” precision bombs) which can destroy entire buildings on top of their occupants and cause significant casualties. “You don’t want to waste expensive bombs on unimportant people — it’s very expensive for the country and there’s a shortage [of those bombs]”.
“… The army also decided during the first weeks of the war that, for every junior Hamas operative that Lavender marked, it was permissible to kill up to 15 or 20 civilians … in the event that the target was a senior Hamas official with the rank of battalion or brigade commander – the army on several occasions authorized the killing of more than 100 civilians in the assassination of a single commander”.
“Lavender — which was developed to create human targets in the current war — has marked some 37,000 Palestinians as suspected “Hamas militants”, most of them junior, for assassination (the IDF Spokesperson denied the existence of such a kill list in a statement to +972 and Local Call)”.
So, there it is – no wonder Israel might seek to camouflage the details within a normalised general array of transgressions against humanitarian law: “They wanted to allow us to attack [the junior operatives] automatically. That’s the Holy Grail. Once you go automatic, target generation goes crazy”.
It is not difficult to speculate what the ICJ might determine …
Does anyone imagine that this flawed Lavender AI machine would not be asked to churn out its kill lists, were Israel to decide to surge into Lebanon? (Another reason for normalising the procedures first in Gaza).
The key point made in the +972 Magazine report (with multiple sourcing) is that the IDF were not focussed on pin-point elimination of Hamas’ Qassam Brigades (as claimed):
“It was very surprising for me that we were asked to bomb a house to kill a ground soldier, whose importance in the fighting was so low”, said one source about the use of AI to mark alleged low-ranking militants:
“I nicknamed those targets ‘garbage targets.’ Still, I found them more ethical than the targets that we bombed just for ‘deterrence’ — high-rises that are evacuated and toppled just to cause destruction”.
This report makes clear nonsense of Israel’s claims to have dismantled 19 out of 24 Hamas Battalions: One source, critical of Lavender’s inaccuracy, points out the obvious flaw: “It’s a vague boundary”; How to tell a Hamas fighter from any other Gazan civilian male?
“At its peak, the system managed to generate 37,000 people as potential human targets”, said B. “But the numbers changed all the time, because it depends on where you set the bar of what a Hamas operative is. There were times when a Hamas operative was defined more broadly, and then the machine started bringing us all kinds of civil defence personnel, police officers, on whom it would be a shame to waste bombs”.
Just last week, War Cabinet member and Minister Ron Dermer, was delegated to travel to Washington to plead that the IDF success in dismantling 19 Hamas battalions justified an incursion into Rafah to dismantle the 4 to 5 battalions that Israel claims still remain in Rafah.
What is clear is that AI was a key Israeli tool to its Gaza ‘Victory’. Israel was going to sell a ‘smoke and mirrors story’ based on ‘Lavender’.
By contrast, Palestinians, who are aware of their quantitative inferiority, have a very different outlook: they switched to a new way of thinking that gives the simple act of resisting a civilisational meaning – a path to metaphysical victory (and quite possibly a kind of military victory), if not in their lifetimes, then for the Palestinian People, thereafter. This constitutes the asymmetrical nature of the conflict that Israel has never managed to understand.
Israel wants to be feared, believing this will restore its deterrence. Amira Hass writes that regardless of any revulsion for this government and its members: “The vast majority [of Israelis] still believe that war is the solution”. And Mairav Zonszein writing in Foreign Policy, notes that “The Problem Isn’t Just Netanyahu, It’s Israeli Society”:
“The focus on Netanyahu is a convenient distraction from the fact that the war in Gaza is not Netanyahu’s war, it is Israel’s war—and the problem isn’t only Netanyahu; it’s the Israeli electorate … A large majority—88 percent—of Jewish Israelis polled in January believe the astounding number of Palestinian deaths, which had surpassed 25,000 at the time, is justified. A large majority of the Jewish public also thinks that the [IDF] is using adequate or even too little force in Gaza … Putting all the blame on the prime minister misses the point. It disregards the fact that Israelis have long advanced, enabled, or come to terms with their country’s system of military occupation and dehumanization of Palestinians”.
Yet neither Israel, nor the U.S., has a comprehensive strategy for this mooted war. Israel’s approach is all tactical – claiming to have degraded Hamas; turning Gaza into a humanitarian hellscape and setting the scene for the “decisive plan” devised by Bezalel Smotrich for the Palestinians. Amira Hass again:
“Either agree to an inferior status, emigrate and be uprooted ostensibly voluntarily, or face defeat and death in a war. This is the plan now being carried out in Gaza and the West Bank – with most Israelis serving as active and enthusiastic accomplices, or passively acquiescing in its realisation”.
The U.S. ‘vision’ is also tactical (and far removed from reality) – Imagining the transformation of Gaza into a ‘Vichy collaborator’ statelet; imagining that political pressure by the French in Lebanon will force Hizbullah’s retreat from its ancestral lands in south Lebanon; and imagining that the Biden White House is able to achieve politically through pressure what Israel cannot do militarily.
The paradox is that, with Israel and the U.S. being dependent on an ‘image’ that has been confused with reality, this too works to Iran’s and the Resistance Front’s advantage. (As the old adage goes, ‘do not disturb an adversary who is making mistakes’). [All bolding my emphasis]

What should the world do with the Zionists, and not just the government but the overall population that supports and avidly calls for the commission of all the crimes committed to-date? Crooke in his chat calls it “AI-Genocide”, which IMO is 100% correct. The other problem is that AI isn’t free from human direction which is often thought to be the case. The programs are written and adjusted by humans and are thus not at all “artificial”; thus, the programmers are guilty of genocide just as much as everyone connected to the Zionist Project. Clearly they don’t in any way merit their own nation for they’re completely inhuman serial criminals—a death cult as many have intoned. I would also say that the Outlaw US Empire is also engaged in doing what the Zionists are as Parsi wrote, the Empire “is engaged in a deliberate and systematic effort to destroy existing laws and norms around warfare.” IMO, Crooke is mistaken with his implication that the Outlaw US Empire—The Empire of Chaos—doesn’t want that outcome; rather, it desires to make it on its own terms which for the most part it has already. What might shock Team Biden is the Zionist’s brazen overtness and complete disregard for its image in the world that IMO is well presented in my header depiction, although it’s not just Netanyahu who needs to be featured.

Do note how points made by Crooke integrate with his previous Al-Mayadeen column I mirrored here last week. The second half of the chat focuses on the column, so readers may want to revisit that prior to watching that portion which comes after a sponsor break.

It’s been brought to my attention that the reasons WHY the USA is an Outlaw relative to International and its own Domestic Law isn’t clear enough. First, we’ll begin with the UN Charter:

Article 2

The Organization and its Members, in pursuit of the Purposes stated in Article 1, shall act in accordance with the following Principles.

The Organization is based on the principle of the sovereign equality of all its Members.
All Members, in order to ensure to all of them the rights and benefits resulting from membership, shall fulfill in good faith the obligations assumed by them in accordance with the present Charter.
All Members shall settle their international disputes by peaceful means in such a manner that international peace and security, and justice, are not endangered.
All Members shall refrain in their international relations from the threat or use of force against the territorial integrity or political independence of any state, or in any other manner inconsistent with the Purposes of the United Nations.
All Members shall give the United Nations every assistance in any action it takes in accordance with the present Charter and shall refrain from giving assistance to any state against which the United Nations is taking preventive or enforcement action.
The Organization shall ensure that states which are not Members of the United Nations act in accordance with these Principles so far as may be necessary for the maintenance of international peace and security.
Nothing contained in the present Charter shall authorize the United Nations to intervene in matters which are essentially within the domestic jurisdiction of any state or shall require the Members to submit such matters to settlement under the present Charter; but this principle shall not prejudice the application of enforcement measures under Chapter Vll.

The most common violation is interference in the internal/domestic affairs of member nations. Most grievous is violation of Article 4. Upon the Charter’s entering into legal force on 24 October 1945, the USA was in the process of interfering in the domestic affairs of the USSR and numerous other member nations. It was also providing aid to known Nazi elements in Soviet Ukraine and aiding known Nazi War Criminals to escape justice for the crimes they committed. As such, the USA was also in violation of Articles 2, 3, 4, and 5. Those violations continued unabated and others were added as time moved forward.

Will somebody wake up the ACLU, please? Go ahead, we can wait.

In relation to the USA violating its own Domestic Law of the Land, the 1787 Constitution, what’s known as the Supremacy Clause—Article VI, Clause 2—makes it mandatory that any ratified treaty becomes incorporated into the Law of the Land:

This Constitution, and the Laws of the United States which shall be made in Pursuance thereof; and all Treaties made, or which shall be made, under the Authority of the United States, shall be the supreme Law of the Land; and the Judges in every State shall be bound thereby, any thing in the Constitution or Laws of any State to the Contrary notwithstanding.

The UN Charter is a treaty signed by President Truman and ratified by the Senate on 28 July 1945 by a vote of 89-2. Thus, the UN Charter is part of the US Constitution. Upon ratification, Truman said: “The action of the Senate substantially advances the cause of world peace.” The actual truth as he spoke those words was the USA was already involved in aiding the OUN—Ukrainian Nazis—and helping Nazi war Criminals avoid being caught by helping them escape to the USA, Canada, and many South American nations, which were violations of their domestic affairs by introducing the grossest of criminal elements into their societies which enabled Nazism to remain alive and terrorize today’s world.

The actions of the United States before, during and after the legal founding of the UN Charter have made it an international outlaw and violator of its own Law of the Land, which every President swears to defend and uphold and is its primary job as Chief Magistrate. That such illegality is allowed to continue unabated makes the Outlaw US Empire a serial lawbreaker of the worst sort when we look at the millions of people it's killed and displaced in its criminal behavior. Yet millions of US citizens, including members of Congress, the Executive, the Military, appear to be 100% ignorant of the fact that they abet an international serial criminal of the worst sort.

The evidence for US lawbreaking is present within the US government’s own archives and has been subjected to Congressional inquiry; yet, such inquiry avoided the conclusion that the US government is a serial lawbreaker needing serious remediation and constant monitoring of its behavior along with the elimination of the institutions responsible for the lawbreaking.

The World: The USA is an Outlaw Empire: My Comment on the Topic

Today’s Moon of Alabama article is about the genuine nature of just passed UNSC Resolution 2728 on the Gaza Genocide and the fact that it’s binding, a fact the Outlaw US Empire is trying mightily to say it isn’t. Readers are invited to use the link to read the excellent article that cites many sources about the veracity of the UNSCR’s being binding—indeed, all of them, many of which have been ignored, like those related to the Minsk Two agreements. (You can also sample it in the editorial box below). In my comment that follows is a plea to all other writers to adopt my descriptor of the USA or devise something similar so the vital facts of what such a descriptor means can get circulated and hopefully acted upon.

Acco Hengst | Mar 28 2024 17:13 utc | 10--
Thanks very much for your reminder to the bar. For many years, I've openly said the USA immediately began violating the UN Charter as soon as it came into legal force in October 1945 and hasn't stopped since; and in the process, has also been violating its own Constitution since that time--the document POTUS swear to uphold and defend. Thus, the Outlaw US Empire was legally constituted via its illegal acts in October 1945--facts very few want to accept despite their veracity. And now--AGAIN--we have 100% proof that the Outlaw US Empire is indeed a Rogue, a Desperado, an International Crime Syndicate to the nth degree.
So, what does it really mean that the US Constitution's been a broken instrument since October 1945? How legitimate are all the laws passed since then? If every POTUS was guilty of constantly violating what it swore to uphold, what legitimacy does the US political system have? Each of the POTUS's deserved to be Impeached AND Convicted under the Law of the Land, including Biden and his main challenger Trump. And that brings into the legitimacy of the US Supreme Court whose justices were all nominated by POTUS's that were illegitimate? And what then of Congress who has refused to impeach and convict every POTUS since October 1945 for the basic crime of undermining the US Constitution and failing to carry out the duties of the Executive?
And what does this all say about the US public's level of basic Constitutional literacy as well as that of every person employed by government at any point within the Federalist System since October 1945? I've known about this since I took Civics in 1972 and studied the US Constitution and the UN Charter. Admittedly, I haven't stood on a street corner with a sign saying all of the above since then. But in the mid 1990s, I decided I needed to do something. My advocacy got me banned from commenting at Common Dreams.org and by Disqus. MoA is the one place I've been able to advocate my points and be accepted by its controller. I went to VK knowing I wouldn't be censored there and finally to substack where I've done the same and bult a small following of 1700+ people from all over the planet. It would be awesome if people with a much larger audience like Simplicius would adopt my description--the Outlaw US Empire--as he now has 30,000+ subscribers. And then there're those who won't allow my comments containing my descriptor to be posted, Larry Johnson being one, despite my spelling out the why that's empirically correct.
I'll admit to being very pleased when the Outlaw US Empire is used by others; it means my efforts haven't been in vain. Somehow that needs to be pounded into the heads of 300+ million people within that Empire. And most of all into the heads of those who can actually do something about it--legislators, governors, and Congresscritters. I do believe they all make a similar vow to uphold the Constitution just as Naturalized Citizens and members of the Military must, so they must perform their duties.

So ended my MoA comment. The nature of our situation as citizens of an Outlaw Empire is detailed in many books that discuss the nature of the political system but never go to its cause or how it became that way. That whole story is what I’ve been attempting to compile in my work as a historian over the decades, and I probably finally have enough material to write a major essay on the topic, although new facts are always being uncovered that further prove some facet of the whole story. The problem is to know when to stop compiling facts and start writing. And then there’re contemporary events that I continue to cover that take me away from that project. Writing a long essay is sort of like building a house: you need to make a blueprint to know how to proceed.

At The UN It Is A Rogue U.S. Against The Rest Of The World

Ted Snider asks:

Is America a Rogue Superpower?

“Unipolar” used to mean that the United States was, at least in theory, alone in leading the world. Now “unipolar” means that the United States is alone and isolated in opposition to the world.

Snider refers to the recent UN Security Council resolution 2728 which "demands" a ceasefire in Gaza and "demands" a release of hostages and "demands" the unhindered supply of food and other items to Gaza.

The U.S. has claimed, falsely, that the resolution is not binding.

As Snider writes:

On March 25, the U.S. went one step further and took a step toward becoming a rogue state who has supplanted international law with its rules-based order. International law is grounded in the charter system and the United Nations and is universally applicable. The rules-based order is composed of unwritten laws whose source, consent, and legitimacy are unknown. To the global majority, those unwritten laws have the appearance of being invoked when they benefit the U.S. and its partners and not being invoked when they don’t.
On March 25, the Security Council passed a resolution demanding “an immediate ceasefire for the month of Ramadan respected by all parties leading to a lasting sustainable ceasefire.” The resolution was able to pass because the U.S. stood aside and let the other fourteen Security Council members pass it by abstaining instead of vetoing.
But in her explanation of the American abstention after the resolution passed, U.S. Ambassador to the UN Linda Thomas-Greenfield “surprisingly” said that “we fully support some of the critical objectives in this nonbinding resolution.”
Her claim that the Security Council resolution was nonbinding was not an off script, impromptu comment. It is the strategy of a country that enforces, not international law, but the U.S. led rules-based order.

Arnaud Bertrand has added a similar thought:

Since the beginning, it's been obvious that Gaza was in many ways a fight between International Law and the US's "rules-based order".
This whole episode around the UN resolution is a perfect illustration of this. There is no debate amongst international law scholars that resolutions by the UN Security Council that "demand" certain actions are binding (good explanation by a legal scholar here). In fact resolutions by the council ARE international law, article 25 of the UN Charter clearly states: "The Members of the United Nations agree to accept and carry out the decisions of the Security Council in accordance with the present Charter."
Yet the US now argues that the "rule" is in fact different: "It's a non-binding resolution, so there's no impact at all on Israel".
Where is this rule written, that somehow when the UNSC "demands an immediate ceasefire for the month of Ramadan respected by all parties leading to a lasting sustainable ceasefire", it's non-binding and "there's no impact at all" on the warring party?
Nowhere, that's the beauty of the rules-based order: the rules are made-up in the moment to fit the interests of the U.S. and its henchmen, depending on the circumstances.

The big issue here is that the whole world, literally, disagrees with the U.S. claims.

Snider again:

All UN Security Council resolutions are legally binding and have the status of international law. That is why UN Secretary General António Guterres said, “This resolution must be implemented. Failure would be unforgivable.” UN deputy spokesperson Farhan Haq explained that, “All the resolutions of the Security Council are international law. They are as binding as international laws.”
Others responded the same way to the U.S. claim. On behalf of the ten elected members of the Security Council who drafted the resolution, Pedro Comissario, Mozambique’s envoy to the United Nations, said, “All United Nations Security Council resolutions are binding and mandatory.” He then added, “It is the hope of the 10 that the resolution adopted today will be implemented in good faith by all parties.”
The United Kingdom also did “not share” the U.S. claim, prompting their envoy to the UN to say, “we expect all Council resolutions to be implemented. This one is not any different. The demands in the resolution are absolutely clear.” China, too, did not share the U.S. evaluation. “China’s U.N. Ambassador Zhang Jun said Security Council resolutions are binding.”

France too rejects the U.S. claim and insists that UNSC Res 2728 is absolutely binding and especially binding for Israel:

"A United Nation Security Council resolution is binding under international law. All concerned parties MUST implement it, especially Israel, to whom it is incumbent to apply this resolution."

Russia has said similar:

Russia's Foreign Ministry said Tuesday that UN Security Council Resolution 2728 on Gaza, which calls for an immediate cease-fire and access for humanitarian aid, is binding for all sides, including Israel.
...
"The Russian side expects that the binding UN Security Council Resolution 2728 will contribute to de-escalating violence in Gaza, including preventing the Israeli operation in Rafah, freeing hostages, (and) increasing humanitarian assistance to civilians in the sector," it said.

Four of the five permanent members of the UN Security Council - including two major U.S. allies -, all of its non-permanent members and the UN Secretary General have explicitly said that UNSC Res 2728 is binding.

The U.S. (plus maybe a few of its minor proxies) is the only state which publicly disputes that.

Bertrand points out that this will have huge consequences:

There's no overstating how consequential this is for the integrity of international relations. By doing so, the US effectively destroys the world order it largely created after WW2 because it effectively tells everyone that the set of institutions, rules and norms that underpin it are meaningless. We're effectively now in a world system where everyone realizes the police, the government, the basic set of beliefs, have become completely corrupted. This changes everything.
What comes next? I think there's no coming back for the U.S. And I think they know this, maybe unconsciously, otherwise they would at least pretend to act for the better good of all. The fact they don't shows they've effectively abdicated ambitions to restore their hegemony: they're now nakedly in it to milk the system for themselves, universal pretentions have gone.

This UN Security Council is not the only institution which the U.S. tries to destroy after having largely created it.

Read the rest here.
