If you want proof that the peaceful coexistence – which the
system of Liberal Democracy is said to engender – is but a bubble of fake
promises, you have it now.
It is that the Jewish inspired English speaking print and
electronic media are currently being flooded with arguments to the effect that
the Sykes-Picot arrangement, which held for about a century, should be
dismantled and replaced by a similar system … with a small difference. Whereas
Sykes-Picot 1 was designed to serve the interests of colonial powers France and Britain ,
Sykes-Picot 2 is designed to pretend serving the interests of America but will serve the interests of Israel , always Israel
and no one but Israel .
One article making this kind of argument, however obliquely
it does it, came under the title: “Confronting the current Middle
East alignment,” and the subtitle: “The Trump administration must
define a security strategy for the region.” It was written by James A. Lyons
and published on July 2, 2017 in The Washington Times. What follows is a
condensed version of the passages that describe the new plan:
“A key element of our strategy should be to support the
referendum for Iraqi Kurdistan. Secretary of State Tillerson opposes it because
of a misguided objective to keep Iraq intact. But Iraq is already fractured as is Syria , and
neither one will be reconstituted in the pre-WWI boundaries. Clearly, the 1916
Sykes-Picot nation-state arrangement has collapsed. Our strategy should also
support Syrian Kurds carving out their own sphere of influence which could
eventually unite with Iraqi Kurdistan. Damascus
cannot control a federalized Syria .
Therefore, our strategic plan must back Sunni forces that have shown to be
anti-Damascus and non-jihadist. The group that falls into that category is the
Free Syrian Army, which will need to be reinforced”.
In other words, James Lyons says the problem with
Sykes-Picot 1 is that the colonial powers of yesteryear made the mistake of
creating the full-blown nation-states of Syria
and Iraq .
No, no, no, says he who takes his cues from the neocons; France and Britain should have done something
else. Without repeating word for word what the neocons are advocating, Lyons describes how to
cut-up those two states into smaller rumps, and how to “cantonize” the rumps
into separate entities.
This has been the Jewish dream for decades. The Jews
implemented it in Palestine ,
and it worked for them. Originally, things happened this way: Having gained
control of Gaza and the West
Bank , the Jews discovered that the situation worked for them
because the physical separation of the two parts allowed them to better control
the Palestinians. And so, after they were kicked out of Gaza ,
they got the idea of cantonizing the West Bank ,
which they did by building settlements in the strategic locations that denied
the Palestinians the possibility to create a contiguous nation-state of their
own. And the Jews were happy with that result.
It then occurred to them that doing the same thing in the
entire Levant will make them masters of the
region. The trouble is that they knew they could not do it alone. This is why
they started working on the Americans in a brazen attempt to get control of
their military, and have it do the dirty work for them. To that end, they
recruited people like James A. Lyons and taught them how to pretend advocating
what was good for America ,
when in reality they advocated what will be good for Israel ,
always Israel and no one but
Israel .
Here is how Lyons
put it at the start of his article: “There are clearly new dynamics coming into
play. What is taking place is a realignment of the regional balance of power.
How it evolves will have a major impact on U.S.
security interests, and those of our allies, Israel in particular.” Which is why
he concludes as follows near the end of the article: “Accordingly, the Trump
team must first define a strategy for the region. Such strategy must be
predicated on reconstruction of the U.S. military capability and
demonstration of the will to project power”.
In other words, he admits he doesn't know what needs to be
done or what strategy will have to be adopted. All he knows is that the
strategy should involve the American military whose capability will require
time to be “reconstituted.” After that, we'll see what else ... as long as what
comes next is meant to benefit Israel .
