WILLIAM SCHRYVER—This war was anything but “unprovoked Russian aggression”. This war was spawned and nurtured for decades in the secret chambers of the imperial dark lords in London and Washington. It was a war the empire knew Russia would fight. The imperial suzerains simply deceived themselves into believing it was a war Russia could not win. As was imperative, Russia did choose to fight — notwithstanding there were many reasons to suppose they were insufficiently prepared to win in the event the full weight of the NATO countries were thrown against them.

Hamas’ blow, despite its immense cost to the Palestinian people, has broken the cycle of gradual asphyxiation applied by a sociopathic Israel over decades, and exposed the moral bankruptcy of Western media and political elites.
