9th October, 2023. Not a “Special Military Operation” the dictate of Putin but President Netanyahu (Intelligence services off guard) is 8th October 23 launching all out war on HAMAS. We have Ukraine invaded by Russia on 24th February 2022 and all we hear is that this war could last for a very long time; we hear the same from Nathanyahu. Who gains? The US – the Military Industrial Complex. Who suffers the human beings who face the war at grassroots level. Ukraine is the battleground for a proxy war US / NATO versus China and its sidekick Russia. Is there a change coming from that Unipolar rule by the US to a new era and the reign of China or a multipolar world? What we do know is that people are dying, people are suffering, there will be casualties in the fighting forces that will go forward for decades due to psychological trauma. Then we have the crisis of migrants escaping wars of attrition who eventually become the “Them” as nationalism re-emerges from the threat of “them”. I have changed tack and I include a link by a Stanford Professor neuroscientist named Robert Zapolsky. Manipulation is a facet entrenched in warfare but do we know why?

In this video, Stanford professor, neuroscientist and author Robert Sapolsky replies to multiple requests for his commentary about the current situation in Ukraine. In scientific terms, Sapolsky says, recognizing “us” and “them” is rooted in kin selection, but for humans it gets complicated for various reasons. Our big brain and treliance on thinking provides opportunities for manipulation that can take us too far.

War is a racket. It is the only one international in scope. It is the only one in which the profits are reckoned in dollars and the losses in lives.

President [ Dwight] Eisenhower warned us, five star general, he said watch out for the military-industrial complex. That’s a threat to our freedom, to our economy, and what we have now is a gigantic taxpayer draining empire that is devouring itself, which, as you say, it’s creating more resistance, more fighting, against us oversees.

Netanyahu warning Palestinians to flee Gaza has two problems: 1. Israel and Egypt prevent them from leaving. 2. A warning to flee does NOT absolve the Israeli military of the duty not to attack civilians who stay. That’s what it did in 2006 in S. Lebanon.

If this is Israel’s “9/11 moment,” the Israeli military should recall that Bush lost America’s moral high ground through his highly abusive ground war in Iraq, as well as systematic torture and Guantanamo detentions.

Normalization? The Saudis did not condemn the Hamas attacks but noted they had long warned about “the dangers of the explosion of the situation as a result of the continued occupation, the deprivation of the Palestinian people of their legitimate rights.”

In a brief televised statement on Saturday, President Biden condemned the Hamas attack as “unconscionable” and called his support for Israel’s right to defend itself “rock solid and unwavering.”

Deprioritizing human rights and the rule of law in the free world for economic “engagement” with dictatorships was usually a mask for corruption and cowardice. It encouraged the unity of dictators and terrorists, who had the best of both worlds.

Allowed to be welcome and wealthy in the West while crushing dissent at home and exporting terror and war, Russia and Iran were funded by those they swore to destroy, not isolated. I wrote about this “axis of autocracy” in 2006, updated in Winter Is Coming in 2015.
