Is The Syrian War About To Experience A Major Escalation?

We’re going to war — either hybrid in nature to break the Russian state back to its 1990s subordination, or a hot war (which will destroy our country). Our citizens should know this, but they don’t because our media is dumbed down in its “Pravda”-like support for our “respectable,” highly aggressive government. We are being led, as C. Wright Mills said in the 1950s, by a government full of “crackpot realists: in the name of realism they’ve constructed a paranoid reality all their own.” Our media has credited Hillary Clinton with wonderful foreign policy experience, unlike Trump, without really noting the results of her power-mongering. She’s comparable to Bill Clinton’s choice of Cold War crackpot Madeleine Albright as one of the worst Secretary of States we’ve had since … Condi Rice? Albright boasted, “If we have to use force it is because we are America; we are the indispensable nation. We stand tall and we see further than other countries into the future.”

Hillary’s record includes supporting the barbaric “contras” against the Nicaraguan people in the 1980s, supporting the NATO bombing of the former Yugoslavia, supporting the ongoing Bush-Iraq War, the ongoing Afghan mess, and as Secretary of State the destruction of the secular state of Libya, the military coup in Honduras, and the present attempt at “regime change” in Syria. Every one of these situations has resulted in more extremism, more chaos in the world, and more danger to our country. Next will be the borders of Russia, China, and Iran. Look at the viciousness of her recent AIPAC speech (don’t say you haven’t been warned). Can we really bear to watch as Clinton “takes our alliance [with Israel] to the next level”? Where is our sense of proportion? Cannot the media, at the least, call her out

Yes and it will be the Russians who will be doing it for final victory over ISIS.

Ivan noticed the recent large increase in colored berets and tridents in the NE and they know that preps for precisely the type of attack called for by the State 51.

Pretty cool, USGOV starts *another* ME war, part of Operation Arab Spring, this time involving the Russians.

Maybe switching shoulder patches again will fool Putin.

Zero Hedges continuous siding with Russia makes me wonder what contributions they get from Moscow....Siding with the Contras vs the ‘Nicaraguan people’? Seriously?

Hillary, current warmonger State Department minions such as Victoria Nuland Noodlehead, and UN Ambassador Samantha World Power, all want war with Russia!!!! That’s what all this “bomb Assad” baloney is really about.

Here’s a warning from a group of knowledgeable Russians living in the USA. Anyone in the US who wants war with Russia is a suicidal crackpot!!!! “Bombing Assad” is a giant step toward that war, and also completely puts Syrian Christians at risk!!!!

The globalists need to justify another 2 million refugees into Europe.

Zero Hedge is a Putin mouthpiece, no doubt about it.

One thing that is guaranteed to not only escalate this conflict but turn it into a permanent debacle is to follow the advice of the "nation builders" in Obama's state department, who want us to start bombing Assad's forces and supporting Al Nusra-affiliated/allied rebels.

I guess they think that regime change worked so well in Libya that the model of overthrowing secular dictators and replacing them with Islamist rebels has to be replicated all over the Middle East.

So is the plan to just stand back and watch the Venezuelans starve to death ? We did stand back and watch the Iranian revolutionaries get killed by the hundreds.

I believe this is true - an escalation is underway.
