Like I said, you're strictly off-topic and deliberately doing so. You already have your own thread to post your crap in, you're not allowed to come hijack other threads when you don't get the attention you're looking for.

Then admonish various others here for posting off-topic also. And btw I have no urge to 'grab attention' - that's your assertion. Truth, or lack thereof mostly, is what motivates me to post a corrective here.

No, there's off-topic and there's way, way, way off-topic, which is what you are. In no way whatsoever at any point did your incoherent rambling have any demonstrable rational connection to present events in Syria, and it also contained loads of irrelevant race-baiting against Jews. I award you no points, and may God have mercy on your soul. You already have a thread for preaching your bullshit, so go crawl back into your hole if you don't care to talk about Syria.

Such ad hominem style is revealing. Screaming anti-Semitic is hardly an answer to all the evidence damming Israel and it's partner sayans. Refrain from further insults and I will quit responding. OK?

If by "quit responding" you mean no more off-topic posting here, then you've got yourself a deal.
 
???? Please, actually study this: https://wikispooks.com/wiki/9-11/Israel_did_it
Do point out any serious errors of fact there that would in any way undermine that devastating indictment. And it's far from a one-off. For just one further instance of many....
Nobody, in over a year now, was game to post a reply to this thread: http://www.sciforums.com/threads/uss-liberty-incident-50th-anniversary.159507/
Gee, I wonder why.

(given that "research vessel" is code for spy ship) The question then posed by retired Admiral Thomas Moorer:

“Why would our government put Israel’s interests ahead of our own?”
remains unanswered
 
Fine, some progress. Let's see how it applies to various politicians,

I'm sure your evaluation will give very different results, the greatest difference probably about Putin, given that your picture is that of the Western anti-Putin propaganda. But I think I can at least hope for some agreement about Poroshenko, not?

Anyway, some comments: Putin is politically centrist, with some right-wing shift, given his support for the church, family and so on, but the opposition in the Duma is left (communists) as well as right (LDP). Russia is multinational, and ethnic-based Russian nationalism is a clear enemy, outside the system. Putin has, of course, done a lot for the military, out of necessity (there was, essentially, a state of civil war when he started, and it was clear after bombing Belgrad that the Cold War against Russia is not over at all. But essential parts of militaristic ideology fail completely, even actually he names the West "partners", and given that he has reached some necessary key results, the military budget goes even down. A main theme in the Russian political discussion is that there simply is no ideology, many think there should be one. I have not seen any big lie, and I see also no focus on propaganda. Loyalty played a big role initially when there was a need to fight the oligarch rule and the state was corrupted completely by these oligarchs. So, when Putin started, there were, after a short time, a lot of people from Piter in power positions in Moscow. But all those who speculate about Kremlin power games consistently fail, and some of those considered by many as coming from other factions are today in strong positions. (Today I have read, for example, a theory that for the first attempts to remove Putin from power 2002 the person prepared to replace him was Shoigu. Not sure how serious this information is, but it fits into many others in the Russian government hated by many because considered as pro-Western or as remains from Yeltsin time or so but which remain in their positions, simply because they are competent (Nabibullina).

You have your head up your ass even more than usual today. Russia was built on bloodshed and racism, that trend remained throughout the Soviet period and it still continues to this day. Everyone who isn't white and doesn't have giant dark circles under their eyes is and has long been a target, everyone who prospers outside Russia is considered a thief. The south Asian Muslims migrating to Russia for jobs are treated even worse than the US and Canada treated Chinese immigrants 100+ years ago back in the railroad days, and now with the World Cup, Russian hooligans and politicians alike reveal their true colours yet again by going after black people (no wonder there's only something like 12 of them living in all of Russia, mostly African dictators' sons being sent to old Soviet schools). There's more antisemitism on Russian state-run rt.com's comments sections than you'll find on major Neo-Nazi websites like Stormfront (which, incidentally, is now hosted in Russia).

Either Putin's the one responsible for making sure that every prominent figure who criticizes him ends up with something bad happening to them (which Anthony Bourdain noted over a decade ago), or there's a magic leprechaun in orbit that keeps doing it to blame him, and Putin does nothing to stop it. Even when a Putin-appointed governor (Ramzan Kadyrov) openly admits to organizing the shooting of a political opponent in broad daylight just outside the Kremlin, you pretend this is some kind of CIA fabrication. In a previous post you claimed that the Russian media is more free and liberal than anything in the west, because of the Soviet past they had to "overcome". I had no idea that the way to overcome the past and guarantee freedom is by appointing a Soviet KGB agent to blow up some apartments, blame it on Chechens and stuff the ballot boxes to get himself elected, then putting all major media outlets under his direct control.

As far as relevance to Syria: Putin's war there is entirely all about pushing narratives like Schmelzer's above, in which he's the good guy protecting rights and freedoms for brown, white, black, yellow and red people of all stripes and political persuasions. It's like 1938 all over again.

After Saudi Sunnis did 911 it seemed crazy to fight their wars for them.
Something seems to have remained unsaid.

Which wars are you referring to, if not the one in which millions of Syrian Sunnis are being driven out or exterminated by Russian allies?
 
I had thought that we tried to destroy Syria on behalf of Israel?

So you made Syrians protest against their government, and you made Bashar Assad massacre them, and you made half his army defect to the rebel side, all on Israel's behalf? As far as I see it, the only Jew to blame for this one is Mark Zuckerberg, and only because he gave the protesters a voice. Am I missing something?
 
In Syria, except for some fighting between the Syrian army and IS in the desert, as well as some fighting between Kurdish forces and IS, both in regions without clear frontlines.

That's very minor in the US - not even in the same order of magnitude as the rightwing operations. There's nothing on the left, for example, anywhere near equivalent to the book "Liberal Fascism", or the media efforts to classify the Nazi Party as leftwing - overt and flagrant corporate funded direct attacks on the meaning of the word "fascism".
LOL.
My biggest differences, if I'm deciphering correctly, are about Obama, where you err in both directions - that can be attributed to ignorance. He's rightwing, corporate capitalist, authoritarian, ideologically coherent, not big lie or propaganda focused, not militaristic, and not loyalty based. About Putin you err in one direction, as expected from your well-established bias - missing the ethnic myth, the ideological incoherence, the loyalty base, and the focus on propaganda including the big lie.
You also failed to include enough plus signs for Trump - degree matters - and somehow you managed to overlook the ethnic myth base of Trump (? ! how?).
As usual, you cannot without "you err". The usual American arrogance. If you make claims that I err, present arguments. If you don't want to present arguments, restrict yourself to "I disagree with you" or " I have a different opinion about".
I have no interest in Poroshenko, know nothing about him, haven't seen anything linking him to Iraq or Syria, and regard his entire presence here as you posting irrelevance for concealment.
The point of including him is that he is clearly a fascist and that he was heavily supported by Obama (remember his speech in the US Congress) and heavily supported Clinton in the election campaign. This makes Obama an open supporter of fascism. Or at least ideologically incoherent, big lie focussed or so.
This is the first time you have acknowledged what I have posted several times before. If you are congratulating people for finally extracting what should have appeared many posts, threads, and discussions ago, congratulate me for apparently cornering you.
As usual with your accusations, quote. Else they count, as usual, as defamations.

CptBork found it necessary to post a collection of some really wild anti-Russian Western propaganda lies, I will comment only those which contain some minor elements of truth. First, there exist racist and ethnic hatred among Russian plebs, as everywhere. And there is more freedom of speech in Russia, and this includes also freedom of speech for such racist and nationalist hate speech. One may prefer the modern Western censorship, I prefer the freedom of speech, even if it includes freedom of hate speech for the plebs. There is also immigration from the former Soviet republics in central Asia. In comparison to Russia, they are poor. Predictably they get the dirty and low paid jobs. For those who work without permission, the conditions are even worse.

The lie about racism in Soviet time is ridiculous. Of course, some is unavoidable among the plebs. But the Soviet propaganda was completely anti-racist, even more than the left-wing propaganda in the West now.

Not a big difference - Israel and SA are quite close allies. (A long time this was officially hidden, but nonetheless sufficiently well-known, today they no longer hide this).

LOL.
And you once again post in perfect imitation of your wingnut sources. You are attempting to mock a plain statement of obvious fact, exactly as the American wingnuts mock it, and for exactly the same reason - you've been played. You're a sucker for American corporate propaganda. (Look at the funding and media support for "Liberal Fascism", for example - a deeply silly pile that absolutely no one would take seriously without that support, support which has no visible explanation if you deny the obvious one. Compare it with the support received by, say, Nomi Prins book "Collusion" - an actual work of explicated scholarship by someone who knows whereof they speak, can make sensible arguments, includes relevant and solidly established evidence, writes reasonable prose, and has some fairly sensational things of immediate relevance to say).
And notice: the post you reacted to so predictably (given your bubble) includes a brief argument. You know, that stuff you never see in my posts? There it is. I point to specific items of evidence in support of my contention that leftwing "intellectual" PC influence is much less of a factor in the US media than corporate rightwing PC influence, probably due to its much smaller footprint of time, effort, money, and coordinated organization. You can actually see the terminology and references and so forth change under rightwing pressure, from one week to the next, across the whole range of US mass media, and I point to that fact.

Soviet propaganda was hardly the issue at hand.

That, like everything about Poroshenko you have posted here, is completely irrelevant. You post like a cat covering its shit.
As usual, you cannot without "you err". The usual American arrogance. If you make claims that I err, present arguments.
Your evaluations of Obama appear random, without basis in anything Obama did or said.
I correct you from my position of apparently far greater familiarity and more extensive information, and in response to your attempted forestalling of the obvious objections to your Putin whitewash - which included, as always, defamatory and inaccurate presumptions about me.
Contrary to you little + and -, Obama was solidly rightwing, for example. Check out his appointments and policies in regards to Wall Street oversight and crash rehab, or his adoption of Republican Romney's health care policy nationally, or his handling of labor disputes, or his trade deal priorities, and so forth. You have him as centrist or left, which is nonsense. And it's a kind of nonsense spread by only one set of sources - the American corporate media manipulations. Wingnut media influence. Same place you get all your American political views.
As usual with your accusations, quote. Else they count, as usual, as defamations.
They are defamatory, of course. Also, accurate - unlike your continual defamations, which are consistently inaccurate.
You can reread the suggested references to my several past explicit postings of criteria for the label "fascist", for example, on your time and at your cost in effort - the discussions that included the book "Liberal Fascism", say.

Not a big difference - Israel and SA are quite close allies
Allies they may be, mostly due to common enemies, but there are big differences between actions in support of one vs the other. One of the biggest differences is oil.
Which has made very little show in this thread. Pipelines, oil, gas, etc, - the only reason Putin, or the US, is anywhere near this mess - somehow get overlooked in favor of who's staging fake atrocities this time, or who's backing the worst terrorists. The military stuff is only going to make sense, in the end, with reference to the oil and gas in the region.
