    This is quite a good interview Netanyahu is relaxed and explains his hope
    and aims for peace realistically. The issue is complex and does not go deep
    into all the violence and intrigue that has gone in the last 70 years , but
    does give a little light on the real allies that have developed in the region
    mainly Israel/Saudi and other Arab states co operation as the neo - con
    Israeli agenda has destroyed most of their enemies as per General Wesley
    Clarks and other disclosures and both Saudi and Israel have 9/11 complicity
    questions to answer. Maybe Netanyahu is envisaging the harvest of the seeds
    of chaos sown over the decades and Trump is a positive over Obama in their
    cause.

    Lavrov: NATO expansion led to tension in Europe unprecedented in last 30 years

    RT
    18 Feb, 2017



    Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov © Sascha Schuermann / AFP

    NATO's expansion has led to an unprecedented level of tension over the last 30 years in Europe, judging by some statements made at the Security Conference, Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov said, speaking in Munich.

    Russia is not looking for conflicts with anyone, but will always be able to protect its interests, Lavrov said.

    What kind of relationship do we want with the US? One [based on] pragmatism, mutual respect, and an understanding of special responsibility for global stability,” he stated.

    Lavrov told NATO Secretary-General Jens Stoltenberg that he supports the resumption of military cooperation with the alliance. Without it, the diplomats’ meetings do not make any sense, he said. “We need to resume [our] military cooperation. [And yet] NATO Secretary-General Jens Stoltenberg, surrounded by his deputies yesterday, couldn’t say that NATO is ready for this. It's sad,” Lavrov said.

    NATO's expansion has led to an unprecedented level of tension over the last 30 years in Europe," he said.

    Statements made by Western politicians at the Munich Security Conference demonstrate that the Cold War is not over yet, Lavrov said.

    They say that all wars begin in the minds of people, and by this logic, that’s where they are supposed to come to an end. However, this hasn’t been the case with the Cold War yet, [at least] judging by some speeches of politicians in Europe and in the US, including statements that were made yesterday and today at the beginning of our conference,” Lavrov said.

    Lavrov noted that 2017 marks 20 years since the signing of the NATO-Russia Founding Act in Paris, and 15 years since the adoption of the Rome Summit Declaration on the new form of Russia-NATO relations.

    A commitment from Russia and the West to jointly provide security, based on respect for each other's interests, to enhance mutual trust, prevent a split in the Euro-Atlantic area, and to erase the dividing lines, formed the basis of these documents,” the Russian FM said.

    Moscow disagrees with claims that it has attempted to undermine the liberal world order. “We strongly disagree with those who have accused Russia and the new centers of global influence of an attempt to undermine the so-called liberal world order,” Lavrov said. According to the Russian foreign minister, the crisis of this world model has been programmed.

    Linking the lifting of the sanctions from Russia with the implementation of the Minsk Agreements is illogical, he continued.

    Russia will not lift its sanctions against the EU either, until the Minsk Agreements are met, he said.

    We also want the Minsk Agreements to be implemented, and we will not remove our sanctions from the EU until the Minsk Agreements are fully met. This also must be understood,” Lavrov pointed out.

    Progress on sorting out the security situation in Donbass should not be an end in itself. First and foremost, it is necessary to fully implement the Minsk Agreements, Lavrov said. “Progress in the field of security cannot be an end in itself. Our common goal is the full implementation of the Minsk Agreements,” he added.

    Despite the ongoing public rhetoric, Lavrov hopes that Europe is sending signals to Kiev on the need to implement the Minsk-2 deal.

    He noted that Russia’s stance on cybersecurity issues actually finds supports among many of Russia’s partners.

    Moscow has clarified its position on cybersecurity to its partners, and this position has been “met with understanding,” according to Lavrov.

    As far as we can, we clarify our position, and I can say that in private conversations many of our western partners express understanding of our views and our approaches,” Lavrov told journalists in Munich.

    According to Lavrov, Moscow's position in the dialogue with the EU and NATO is “confident, based on fair calculations that we share with our colleagues.”

    If they want to overcome this artificially created confrontational stage, they have it in their power,” Lavrov added, noting that there are no facts to stand on, regarding alleged interference in the electoral process in the United States, France, and Germany by Russian hackers.

    Show us the facts,” Lavrov said.

    For some reason, when we are accused of something, no one requires any facts. I haven’t seen a single fact proving that we allegedly attempted to break into some websites of the Democratic Party, or were supposedly doing something in France and Germany,” the Minister said.

    Lavrov said that Angela Merkel's statement on the need to discuss cybersecurity within the framework of the NATO-Russia Council is a signal to a complete restoration of its work.

    As we began to talk about cybersecurity today, Chancellor Merkel has put forward a very interesting idea that the NATO-Russia Council (NRC) would have to deal with this problem. If the Chancellor of Germany, one of the leading NATO member states, speaks in favor of NATO tackling cybersecurity, I assume that at least Berlin wants the NRC to resume its full functioning, and not just limit itself to discussions,” Lavrov noted.

    Russia utterly fails to understand the fixation in the West with the issue of cyber-espionage, and the tendency to lay the responsibility for the settlement of the crisis in Ukraine exclusively on Moscow, according to Lavrov.

    Given the idee fixe of our Western colleagues that only Russia must resolve the Ukrainian crisis, and their absolutely incomprehensible obsession with cybersecurity and cyber-espionage, we explain our position as much as we can,” Lavrov said.

    Just as a reminder; Stoltenberg was publishing Soviet friendly / oriented material back in the days in Dagbladet ("Steklov" was his then KGB code name). This was in the 80`s.

    And after he bombed his way (yes, Norway was the most faithful "allied" in Libya) to his top position in NATO...

    Norway has -the way I see it- gone into an even stronger and hard hitting consensus trance... In lack of words.

    New Declassified CIA Memo Presents Blueprint for Syrian Regime Collapse

    By Brad Hoff -
    February 14, 2017
    libertarianinstitute.org


    A newly declassified CIA document explored multiple scenarios of Syrian regime collapse at a time when Hafez al-Assad’s government was embroiled in a covert “dirty war” with Israel and the West, and in the midst of a diplomatic crisis which marked an unprecedented level of isolation for Syria.

    The 24-page formerly classified memo entitled Syria: Scenarios of Dramatic Political Change was produced in July 1986, and had high level distribution within the Reagan administration and to agency directors, including presidential advisers, the National Security Council, and the US ambassador to Syria. The memo appears in the CIA’s latest CREST release (CIA Records Search Tool) of over 900,000 recently declassified documents.


    A “severely restricted” report

    The memo’s cover letter, drafted by the CIA’s Director of Global Issues (the report itself was prepared by the division’s Foreign Subversion and Instability Center), introduces the purpose of presenting “a number of possible scenarios that could lead to the ouster of President Assad or other dramatic change in Syria.”

    It further curiously warns that, “Because the analysis out of context is susceptible to misunderstanding, external distribution has been severely restricted.” The report’s narrowed distribution list (sent to specific named national security heads, not entire agencies) indicates that it was considered at the highest levels of the Reagan administration.


    The coming sectarian war for Syria

    The intelligence report’s contents contain some striking passages which seem remarkably consistent with events as they unfolded decades later at the start of the Syrian war in 2011:

    Quote Although we judge that fear of reprisals and organizational problems make a second Sunni challenge unlikely, an excessive government reaction to minor outbreaks of Sunni dissidence might trigger large-scale unrest. In most instances the regime would have the resources to crush a Sunni opposition movement, but we believe widespread violence among the populace could stimulate large numbers of Sunni officers and conscripts to desert or munity, setting the stage for civil war.
    [pg.2]


    The “second Sunni challenge” is a reference to the Syrian government’s prior long running war against a Muslim Brotherhood insurgency which culminated in the 1982 Hama Massacre. While downplaying the nationalist and pluralistic composition of the ruling Ba’ath party, the report envisions a renewal and exploitation of sectarian fault lines pitting Syria’s Sunni population against its Alawite leadership:

    Quote Sunnis make up 60 percent of the Syrian officer corps but are concentrated in junior officer ranks; enlisted men are predominantly Sunni conscripts. We believe that a renewal of communal violence between Alawis and Sunnis could inspire Sunnis in the military to turn against the regime.
    [pg.12]


    Regime change and the Muslim Brotherhood

    The possibility of the Muslim Brotherhood spearheading another future armed insurgency leading to regime change is given extensive focus. While the document’s tone suggests this as a long term future scenario (especially considering the Brotherhood suffered overwhelming defeat and went completely underground in Syria by the mid-1980’s), it is considered one of the top three “most likely” drivers of regime change (the other scenarios include “Succession Power Struggle” and “Military Reverses Spark a Coup”).

    The potential for revival of the Muslim Brotherhood’s “militant faction” is introduced in the following:

    Quote Although the Muslim Brotherhood’s suppression drastically reduced armed dissidence, we judge a significant potential still exists for another Sunni opposition movement. In part the Brotherhood’s role was to exploit and orchestrate opposition activity by other organized groups… These groups still exist, and under proper leadership they could coalesce into a large movement… …young professionals who formed the base of support for the militant faction of the Muslim Brotherhood; and remnants of the Brotherhood itself who could become leaders in a new Sunni opposition movement…
    [pp.13-14]


    The Brotherhood’s role is seen as escalating the potential for initially small Sunni protest movements to morph into violent sectarian civil war:

    Quote Sunni dissidence has been minimal since Assad crushed the Muslim Brotherhood in the early 1980s, but deep-seated tensions remain–keeping alive the potential for minor incidents to grow into major flareups of communal violence… Excessive government force in quelling such disturbances might be seen by Sunnis as evidence of a government vendetta against all Sunnis, precipitating even larger protests by other Sunni groups…

    Mistaking the new protests as a resurgence of the Muslim Brotherhood, the government would step up its use of force and launch violent attacks on a broad spectrum of Sunni community leaders as well as on those engaged in protests. Regime efforts to restore order would founder if government violence against protestors inspired broad-based communal violence between Alawis and Sunnis.
    [pp.19-20]


    The CIA report describes the final phase of an evolving sectarian war which witnesses the influx of fighters and weapons from neighboring countries. Consistent with a 1983 secret report that called for a US covert operation to utilize then US-allied Iraq as a base of attack on Syria, the 1986 analysis says, “Iraq might supply them with sufficient weapons to launch a civil war”:

    Quote A general campaign of Alawi violence against Sunnis might push even moderate Sunnis to join the opposition. Remnants of the Muslim Brotherhood–some returning from exile in Iraq–could provide a core of leadership for the movement. Although the regime has the resources to crush such a venture, we believe brutal attacks on Sunni civilians might prompt large numbers of Sunni officers and conscripts to desert or stage mutinies in support of dissidents, and Iraq might supply them with sufficient weapons to launch a civil war.
    [pp.20-21]


    A Sunni regime serving Western economic interests

    While the document is primarily a theoretical exploration projecting scenarios of Syrian regime weakening and collapse (its purpose is analysis and not necessarily policy), the authors admit of its “purposefully provocative” nature (see PREFACE) and closes with a list desired outcomes. One provocative outcome describes a pliant “Sunni regime” serving US economic interests:

    Quote In our view, US interests would be best served by a Sunni regime controlled by business-oriented moderates. Business moderates would see a strong need for Western aid and investment to build Syria’s private economy, thus opening the way for stronger ties to Western governments.
    [pg. 24]


    Ironically, the Syrian government would accuse the United States and its allies of covert subversion within Syria after a string of domestic bombings created diplomatic tensions during the mid-1980’s.


    Dirty tricks and diplomacy in the 1980’s

    According to Patrick Seale’s landmark book, Asad of Syria: The Struggle for the Middle East, 1986 was a year that marked Syria’s greatest isolation among world powers as multiple diplomatic crises and terror events put Syria more and more out in the cold.

    The year included “the Hindawi affair”—a Syrian intelligence sponsored attempt to hijack and bomb an El Al flight to Tel Aviv—and may or may not have involved Nezar Hindawi working as a double agent on behalf of Israel. The foiled plot brought down international condemnation on Syria and lives on as one of the more famous and bizarre terror conspiracies in history. Not only were Syria and Israel once again generally on the brink of war in 1986, but a string of “dirty tricks” tactics were being utilized by Syria and its regional enemies to shape diplomatic outcomes primarily in Lebanon and Jordan.

    In March and April of 1986 (months prior to the distribution of the CIA memo), a string of still largely unexplained car bombs rocked Damascus and at least 5 towns throughout Syria, leaving over 200 civilians dead in the most significant wave of attacks since the earlier ’79-’82 war with the Muslim Brotherhood (also see BBC News recount the attacks).

    Patrick Seale’s book speculates of the bombings that, “It may not have been unconnected that in late 1985 the NSC’s Colonel Oliver North and Amiram Nir, Peres’s counter-terrorism expert, set up a dirty tricks outfit to strike back at the alleged sponsors of Middle East terrorism.”*


    Consistency with future WikiLeaks files

    The casual reader of Syria: Scenarios of Dramatic Political Change will immediately recognize a strategic thinking on Syria that looks much the same as what is revealed in national security memos produced decades later in the run up to the current war in Syria.

    When US cables or intelligence papers talk regime change in Syria they usually strategize in terms of exploiting sectarian fault lines. In a sense, this is the US national security bureaucracy’s fall-back approach to Syria.

    One well-known example is contained in a December 2006 State Dept. cable sent from the US embassy in Syria (subsequently released by WikiLeaks). The cable’s stated purpose is to explore Syrian regime vulnerabilities and weaknesses to exploit (in similar fashion to the 1986 CIA memo):

    Quote PLAY ON SUNNI FEARS OF IRANIAN INFLUENCE: There are fears in Syria that the Iranians are active in both Shia proselytizing and conversion of, mostly poor, Sunnis. Though often exaggerated, such fears reflect an element of the Sunni community in Syria that is increasingly upset by and focused on the spread of Iranian influence in their country through activities ranging from mosque construction to business.
    Another section of the 2006 cable explains precisely the same scenario laid out in the 1986 memo in describing the increased “possibility of a self-defeating over-reaction” on the part of the regime.:

    Quote ENCOURAGE RUMORS AND SIGNALS OF EXTERNAL PLOTTING: The regime is intensely sensitive to rumors about coup-plotting and restlessness in the security services and military. Regional allies like Egypt and Saudi Arabia should be encouraged to meet with figures like [former Vice President Abdul Halim] Khaddam and [younger brother of Hafez] Rif’at Asad as a way of sending such signals, with appropriate leaking of the meetings afterwards. This again touches on this insular regime’s paranoia and increases the possibility of a self-defeating over-reaction.
    And ironically, Rif’at Asad and Khaddam are both mentioned extensively in the 1986 memo as key players during a speculative future “Succession Power Struggle.” [p.15]


    An Islamic State in Damascus?

    While the 1986 CIA report makes a case in its concluding paragraph for “a Sunni regime controlled by business-oriented moderates” in Syria, the authors acknowledge that the collapse of the Ba’ath state could actually usher in the worst of all possible outcomes for Washington and the region: “religious zealots” might seek to establish “an Islamic Republic”. The words take on a new and special importance now, after the rise of ISIS:

    Quote Although Syria’s secular traditions would make it extremely difficult for religious zealots to establish an Islamic Republic, should they succeed they would likely deepen hostilities with Israel and provide support and sanctuary to terrorists groups.
    [pg.24]


    What continues to unfold in Syria has apparently surpassed even the worst case scenarios of intelligence planners in the 1980’s. Tinkering with regime change has proven itself to be the most dangerous of all games.

    Russia’s Ambassador warns: Missile shield will endanger Norway’s borders

    22/02/2017 av Hege Eilertsen (Translated by Elisabeth Bergquist)
    highnorthnews.com



    Russia's new ambassador to Norway, Teimuraz Otarovich Ramishvili, has many years' experience from
    the Russian Foreign Ministry where he has held several positions from 1981 to 1999. (Photo: Hege Eilertsen)


    Quote – Norwegian authorities must decide which way they want to go. That is the clear message from Russia’s new Ambassador to Norway, Teimuraz Otarovich Ramishvili. In this interview, the first one he has given following the striking press statement last week, he states that increased NATO activity near Russia’s borders will definitely not increase North European security.

    Russia’s Ambassador to Norway is clear: Norway has, initially, nothing to fear from Russia, however, Norwegian authorities should not be naïve. Norwegian participation in NATO’s missile shield will endanger the country’s boundaries.

    – If Norway sees it as just an act meant to secure its boundaries, and brings NATO in – and reshuffles system of bases – and participates in a missile shield… If Norway claims that these are just initiatives to secure its boundaries, then that is not true. That is not something we will believe, Ramishvili says.

    Germany Announces Military Growth, Will Send Tanks to Russia Border

    Tanks, Armored Vehicles Will Join Anti-Russia Force in Lithuania

    by Jason Ditz, February 22, 2017
    news.antiwar.com


    Germany’s Defense Minister Ursula von der Leyen announced today that the nation will expand its military by around 5,000 soldiers, bringing its total force to around 200,000, saying that growing demands for German military involvement abroad necessitates the growth.



    This came alongside an announcement that Germany will be deploying a substantial force of tanks and armored vehicles to Lithuania, along the Russian border, where they will be joining the NATO anti-Russia force in the region, which already has upwards of 1,000 German troops involved.

    While the timing would aim to directly link Germany’s military growth with its anti-Russia deployments, the reality is that the effort is also meant as a way to increase spending in an effort to placate the Trump Administration, which has been increasingly.

    Though Germany has one of the world’s costliest militaries, they only spend around 1.22% of their GDP, by virtue of having a huge economy. The Trump Administration is demanding a minimum of 2% spending for all NATO members, which would mean Germany would be outspending Russia by itself.

    Dont worry Sophocles, the german armed Forces are not what they were some decades ago. Here in Germany we have a saying, the only Thing you truly learn at the Bundeswehr (Army) is how you become a proper alcoholic

    Just to give you one Example:

    Defense Ministress Ursula von der Leyen (we Germans cant take her serious) flew 2 weeks ago to Lithuania with a brand new Airbus A400M. That was the only one of 8 Airbus A400M that was still able to fly, a little.
    It broke totally down in Lithuania because of an Oilleak in one of the Engines. Everybody was making fun of her and the crappy Planes.

    She had to leave the Plane there at the Airport, I think it´s still there She came home with another way older Plane.

    January the 29th one of the A400M had to make an Emergency landing in Cyprus because of a broken Cockpitglas. The Army send another A400M with replacements on the way, this one also stranded in Cyprus because the Landinggear broke while landing. So now there are two broken A400M´s in Cyprus. Another should fly there but just made it to Munich and had to return to the Military Airbase because of technical Problems. Another stranded in Lulea in Sweden while trying to bring a Helicopter there for cold testing. And so on .......

    Now just one out of the 8 newest Transportplanes of the Bundeswehr is still kind of operational. They decided that they are not to be used in real operations due to constructional Problems. And they have to be taken to the repair shop every 20 flight hours.

    Reuters:China reacts with anger



    Quote Chinese state media have reacted with anger and boycott threats after the board of an affiliate of South Korea's Lotte Group approved a land swap with the government that allows authorities to deploy a U.S. missile defense system.

    The government decided last year to deploy the U.S. Terminal High Altitude Area Defense (THAAD) system, in response to the North Korean missile threat, on land that is part of a golf course owned by Lotte in the Seongju region, southeast of Seoul.

    The board of unlisted Lotte International Co Ltd approved the deal with the government on Monday.

    China objects to the deployment in South Korea of the THAAD, which has a powerful radar capable of penetrating Chinese territory, with Beijing saying it is a threat to its security and will do nothing to ease tension with North Korea.

    CIA killed Russian Ambassadors and Donbass commanders

    Inessa Sinchougova Fort Russ
    Mon, 27 Feb 2017 00:00 UTC


    Russian political analyst Valeriy Piakin

    This episode is taken off political analyst's Valeriy Piakin's channel - his explanation of recent events confirms what many suspect. In the past few months, an unusual amount of individuals in pro-Russian fields of work have passed away. Starting with Arsen Pavlov (Motorola), a Commander in the Donbass region, followed by Russian Ambassadors to Turkey and India; Mikhail Tolstyh (Givi) - another high ranking Commander in the Donbass, and now - Russia's permanent representative to the UN, Vitaly Churkin. Piakin's explanation posits that all of these individuals were victims of US intelligence operations - but why?

    The intention, according to Piakin, is to remove individuals who stand for the Minsk agreement, so that it can no longer realistically be implemented. The Minsk Agreement (a ceasefire, followed by elections and self-determination in Eastern Ukraine) is counterproductive to the elites' work.

    If Piakin is correct, then those who defend Minsk - whether on the battlefield or through the information war - have reason to be concerned for their safety. People like Zakharchenko of the Donbass as well as Russia's extended diplomatic community should ramp up their security against espionage.

    SOTT Comment: Piakin is not the only one to come to this conclusion: Remember Michael Morell? This is what psychopaths working for the US deep state look and sound like. And they mean what they say:

    Will it hold? Ceasefire regime established between Kiev and Donbass militia in East Ukraine

    Sputnik
    Sun, 05 Mar 2017 12:59 UTC


    © Sputnik/ Genady Dubovoy

    The self-proclaimed republics in eastern Ukraine established the regime of cessation of hostilities in Donbass at 08:00 GMT on Sunday, Donetsk People's Republic's (DPR) Deputy Defense Minister Eduard Basurin told reporters.

    He pointed out that the ceasefire regime was respected.

    "Now the initiative on the ceasefire across the contact line since 11:00 a.m. [local time] works. That is our joint initiative with the LPR [Lugansk People's Republic]. We proposed to stop shelling via representatives in the Joint Center for Control and Coordination [JCCC]," Basurin said.

    "We will see whether Ukraine would manage to control radicals," Basurin added.

    Since late January, the conflict in eastern Ukraine between local militia and Kiev authorities has escalated in Avdiivka and Yasynuvata towns near Donetsk, with Kiev forces and Donbass militia accusing each other of being responsible for the escalation of fighting.

    Russian authorities have repeatedly voiced concern over the escalation. Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said earlier in February that Moscow had reliable data that the Ukrainian independent armed groups, supported by the Ukrainian Armed Forces' artillery, were behind the attack on Avdiivka.

    Kiev launched a special military operation in Ukraine's southeast in April 2014, after local residents refused to recognize new Ukrainian authorities, which had come to power as a result of what was recognized by many people as a coup.

    In February 2015, a peace agreement was signed between Ukraine's conflicting sides in the Belarusian capital of Minsk. Despite the fact that the deal stipulates a full ceasefire in Donbass, violations both on the part of Kiev forces and local militia have been reported.

    Wed Mar 8, 2017 12:4AM

    ‘Israel is using simulated villages to train its forces to destroy Palestinian homes
    and deal with ensuing protests, says a report.

    On Tuesday, the Middle East Monitor website published footage originally
    broadcasted on Israel’s Channel 2 that showed Israeli soldiers practicing facing
    protesters, raiding and demolishing homes in fake Palestinian villages.

    According to the report, these drills have been going on for about a week in order
    to ready soldiers “to face Palestinian protesters while demolishing houses in
    Palestinian villages.”’
