There is an interrelationship of the new Cold
War, irresponsible statements of the US President-elect Donald Trump, various
developments in the world and terrorism-related attacks which are part of the
double game and secret strategy of Israel who is in collaboration with American
CIA, FBI, and Islamic State group (Also known as Daesh, ISIS, ISIL) to seek
revenge. In this regard, before analyzing the situation, two terror
attacks are notable.
The suspected gunman Esteban
Santiago-Ruiz, a US citizen and Iraq War combat veteran killed five people and
injured 11 individuals after opening fire in the Fort Lauderdale airport, Florida on January 6, 2016. US media revealed that he told the “FBI voices were
urging him to fight for ISIS.”
Four Israeli soldiers, three of them cadets,
were killed and more than a dozen injured in Jerusalem on January 8, 2016 when
a truck ploughed into them deliberately. No one has claimed responsibility for
the attack. But, Palestinian media identified the attacker as Fadi al-Qanbar who
had reportedly previously served time in an Israeli prison.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said,
“We in Jerusalem have just experienced a murderous attack that claimed the
lives of four young Israelis and wounded others. This is part of the same
pattern inspired by Islamic State, by Isis, that we saw first in France, then
in Germany and now in Jerusalem.”
It comes at a time of warnings about growing
tensions over Donald Trump’s highly controversial plan to move the US embassy
to Jerusalem, and calls from some rightwing Israeli ministers to annex parts of
the occupied Palestinian territories.
In fact, new Cold War has accelerated between
Russia and the US on December 29, 2016 when American President Barack Obama
imposed sanctions on two Russian intelligence agencies and expelled 35
diplomats from America over their involvement in hacking political groups in
the Nov. 8 US presidential election aimed to help Donald Trump.
US Intelligence agency leaders repeated the
allegations on January 4, this year by saying that senior most officials in
Russia and Putin could have authorized recent hacks and election interference.
Russian President Vladimir Putin said on
December 30, last year, that Moscow would not expel 35 American diplomats in
response to the US move. Putin repeatedly denied the false allegations and
demanded evidence in this respect. Trump also denied the accusations.
Annoyed by the self-fabricated allegations,
prepared by the US intelligence agencies, President Putin congratulated the US
President-elect Donald Trump, rather than President Barack Obama, in his annual
New Year's greetings statement of December 31, 2016.
While, in order to divert the attention towards
Moscow, Israeli secret agency Mossad which clandestinely funded the election
campaign of Trump was behind election-victory of Trump and was in collaboration
with the American intelligence agencies, especially CIA and FBI has been
seeking revenge against Russia due to several developments which have given a
greater setback to the dream of the greater Israel, while castigating the
sinister designs of the Zionist Jews, including double game of President Obama.
Everyone knows that throughout his presidency,
by following the anti-Muslim policies of his predecessor, President Obama
continued the phony war on terror and further destabilized the Middle East.
Obama’s double game franchised both Al-Qaeda and ISIS and left no stone
unturned in advancing the agenda of the Zionist Jews, Israeli lobbies and the
neoconservatives. Secretly, Obama authorized CIA to create the ISIS. His
perennial covert support to the Israeli atrocities on the Palestinians, silence
over the supply (Smuggling) of oil by ISIS to some European countries whose
governments had also not taken action against those companies which were
exporting oil from the ISIS-controlled regions of Iraq, CIA-assisted Al-Qaeda
(Al-Nusra Front) and ISIS militants in Syria might be cited as instance.
Obama-led Administration went on with various techniques of ruthless terror and
extrajudicial killings of the innocent persons through done attacks—assisting
undemocratic forces, toppling the elected government in Egypt, and like Iraq,
creation of more failed states such as Libya, Syria, Yemen, Somalia etc.,
promoting sectarian and ethnic divide and violence in the vulnerable Islamic
countries on the basis of Shia and Sunni, opening the doors for Al-Qaeda and
ISIS militants to establish Israel’s supremacy in the Middle East in particular
and the world in general.
Notably, The Reuters reported on September 15,
2016, “The US will give Israel $38 billion in military assistance over the next
decade, the largest such aid package in U.S. history, under a landmark
agreement.”
However, Obama’s anti-Muslim policies were
clearly exposed. Therefore before the end of his tenure, President Obama wanted
to rectify his blunders. In this context, on December 23, 2016, the US
abstained and allowed a UN Security Council resolution, condemning Israeli settlement
construction in the occupied territories of the Palestinians to be adopted,
defying extraordinary pressure from the Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu’s
government which is in alliance with President-elect Donald Trump.
In a statement, Netanyahu’s office accused the
Obama administration of “colluding” with the UN and said it looked forward to
working with Trump, as well as Israel-friendly members of Congress, “to negate
the harmful effects of this absurd resolution.” Netanyahu called the resolution
“shameful” and said Israel would not abide by its terms and continue the
construction of the settlements.
In this respect, in a series of tweets, posted
on December 28, 2016, Donald Trump harshly criticized the Obama’s policies on
the settlement issue and reiterated his support for Israel. He questioned the
effectiveness of the UNO, saying, “it's just a club for people to have a good
time.”
Trump who has vowed to move the US embassy in Israel
from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem, and has nominated an ambassador in David Friedman
who is supportive of settlers by pledging that the Palestinians would no longer
have a platform at the UN when he becomes president on January 20 this
year, said, “We cannot continue to let Israel be treated with such
total disdain and disrespect. They used to have a great friend in the U.S…the
beginning of the end was the horrible Iran deal, and now this (U.N.)! Stay
strong Israel, January 20th is fast approaching!”
On the same day, US Secretary of State John
Kerry also disclosed reality and issued a desperate final warning to Tel Aviv
by pointing out, “The settlement building policies being carried out by
Israel’s government on occupied land
and applauded by Donald Trump were destroying hopes for peace between Israelis
and Palestinians…is jeopardizing Middle East
peace. He explained, “The two-state solution is now in serious
jeopardy…if the choice is one state, Israel can either be Jewish or democratic,
it cannot be both…the most extreme elements” of Israel’s Right-wing were
shaping the country’s future and strangling the prospect of a two-state
solution.”
In remarks in Hebrew, Netanyahu stated that
Kerry’s speech was “a big disappointment,” and “obsessive.”
Meanwhile, on the leftist side of the Jewish
community leaders applauded the Kerry’s speech— New Israel Fund echoes fears
that Israel will not survive as one state, while right-wing Jewish
organizations and leaders condemned the speech and two-state solution of the
Israeli-Palestinian dispute.
French Foreign Minister
Jean-Marc Ayrault hailed the courageous speech by John Kerry on December 29,
last year, by remarking that it outlined principles for solving the
Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
France has been emphasizing to re-start peace
process between Palestinians and Israelis. On January 15, 2017, representatives
from approximately 70 countries will gather in Paris for a conference to throw
the international community’s weight behind a two-state solution to the
conflict.
Neither Israel nor the Palestinians will be
present at the meeting, but Paris intends to invite Palestinian Authority
President Mahmoud Abbas and Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to Paris some
time afterward to brief them on the outcome of the talks, as the French foreign
ministry said. Netanyahu has stated that he would not attend these talks. While,
the Palestinians have welcomed the initiative, Israel has remained critical of
the plan.
Besides these developments, some previous
developments have also frustrated the Israeli and Zionist Jews who have
intensified the new Cold War between the US-led Western countries and Russia.
Mossad has also arranged various terror attacks in Europe, America and other
countries of the world as part of the revenge. All these developments,
including other ones need attention which will also prove as to how Israel will
seek revenge in future.
In this respect, since September 2015,
unexpected developments such as Russian successful airstrikes on the ISIS
targets in the northern Syria and Israeli-occupied Golan Heights, its coalition
with Iran, Iraq, the Syrian army-the National Defense Forces (NDF) and
Lebanon-based Hezbollah in support of Syrian President Bashar
al-Assad, retreat of the CIA-supported rebels and mercenaries after their
failure to topple the Assad government, proving links of Al-Qaeda’s
Al-Nusra Front and ISIS with America and Israel, Putin’s clear-cut statement,
indicating the Zionist regime in the US and Israel for their “phony
war on ISIS” surprised the Israel-led America and some European countries who
wanted to oust the Assad regime. Russian-led Syrian forces retook several
cities which were in occupation of ISIS militant and rebel groups in Syria and
Iraq, who started fleeing.
Taking note of failure in its sinister designs,
the agents of Mossad who were in connivance with the CIA sympathizers and ISIL
militants arranged terror attacks in Paris, Brussels, Orlando, San
Bernardino, Nice, Munich and latest one in Berlin. These were false flag
operations and were part of the secret strategy of America and especially of
Israel who are in collaboration with each other in order to obtain the covert
aims of their countries against Russia and the Muslims. Mossad might be alone
involved in these terror assaults by using the ISIS terrorists who used the
home-grown terrorists of these countries.
After the false flag terror assaults and the
shooting at San Bernardino, California etc., Israel achieved its aims. Like the
drastic aftermath of 9/11 tragedy, rulers and politicians of the US-led western
countries, particularly of Europe, including their media have started
misguiding their general public by creating chauvinism against the Muslims.
They started propagating the so-called threat of Islamophobia. In one way or
the other, Muslims are being persecuted in the US and other Western countries,
especially in Europe which has been put on high alert, as these subversive acts
were being taken as attacks on the whole continent.
President-elect Donald Trump won the
presidential race of the Republican Party, as he had started exaggerating the
threat of Islamophobia by manipulating various terror attacks in the US and
Europe.
Donald Trump used each terror assault in fueling
anti-Muslim racialism in America and to get the sympathies of a majority of the
ordinary Americans who did not have much time to go into depth-analysis and
have been instigated by his emotional speeches, statements and false hopes. The
more he exploited the threat of Islamic militants, the more popularity he got
among general masses of America, who have been impressed by his stereotypes.
After the incident at San Bernardino, which resulted in the deaths of 14
persons by a Muslim couple, Trump had called for a ban on Muslims, entering the
United States.
After the shooting at the gay night club in
Orlando, he also criticized the US President Barack Obama to resign, slamming
him for having “disgracefully refused to even say the words “Radical Islam.”
Calling on his opponent-candidate Clinton to get out of the general election
race for the same reason, Trump remarked, “Because our leaders are weak, I said
this was going to happen…we cannot afford.” Trump again stated that he would
decrease immigration from the Middle East because “since 9/11, hundreds of
migrants and their children have been implicated in terrorism in the United
States.” He, once again, asked for the ban of any Muslims, entering the US. On
June 19, 2016, during his interview with the CBC News, he called for racial
“profiling of Muslims inside the United States to combat terrorism.”He
reiterated his call for more surveillance of mosques and warned that radical
Muslims were trying to take over our children.
Trump continued move against Muslims. In this
connection, toughening immigration checks for the French and Germans in the US,
questioning NATO obligations—stated that under
his leadership “America would not necessarily come to the aid of NATO ally
under attack, he would first consider how much they have contributed to the
alliance,” and hinted at an exit from the World Trade Organization,
Donald Trump said on July 24, 2016, “We have problems in Germany and we have
problems in France…they have totally been compromised by deadly Islamist
attacks in Nice and last year in Paris…you know why? It’s their own
fault…because they allowed people to come into their countries.”
Nevertheless, owing to the irresponsible
approach of western leaders, far right-wing parties and “Stop Islam” movement
in the West, especially in Europe are becoming popular by largely attracting
their people. Amid a migrant crisis, sluggish economic growth and growing
disillusionment with the European Union, right-wing parties in a growing number
of European countries have made electoral gains. The right-wing parties range
across a wide policy spectrum, from populist and nationalist to far-right
neofascist.
In September 2016, German Chancellor Angela
Merkel accepted responsibility for her Christian Democratic party's “bitter
defeat” in Berlin state elections, voicing regret over mistakes that
contributed to migrant crisis in Germany. More than a million migrants reached
Germany. She has been widely criticized in Germany for the policy, which was a
humanitarian gesture faced with the desperate plight of migrants, many of them
refugees from the war in Syria. The right-wing, anti-migrant party Alternative
for Germany (AfD) entered the Berlin state parliament for the first time with
14% of the vote.
With political norms and expectations shattered,
attention is turning to the heart of western Europe—to France, Germany and
Italy, each of which holds national polls in the coming months.
Recently, France voted to choose the rightwing
candidate likely to face the far-right Marine Le Pen, head of the far-right
Front National in next spring’s presidential election—just as Donald
Trump’s US win has thrown the spotlight on France as the scene of the next
possible shakeup of the political system.
What really draws down the darkening for
Europe’s leaders, however, is the realization that there are plenty of other
European politicians ready to remake their own image in that of Trump.
Besides revival of the fake global war on
terror, Israeli-led America also got the support of its western allies (NATO)
against Russia in relation to Syrian civil war, and as part of the double game
and secret strategy, American jet fighters and those of its western coalition
began targeting the ISIS terrorists in Iraq and Syria.
Meanwhile, despite criticism of
the Democrats and other circles in wake of widespread protests, with 304 votes,
Electoral College seals Donald Trump’s election as president on December 19,
2016.
It is notable that Russian-led Syrian forces
retook the Aleppo on December 13, 2016 by defeating the rebel groups and the
ISIS militants. Retaking Aleppo is biggest
victory of the Syrian President Assad in the civil war. Aleppo is strategically
important and is industrial capital of Syria; therefore, analysts were already
opining that the city will decide the Syrian war, being waged between
Russian-backed forces and the US-led insurgents.
America and Israel had thought that before Syrian forces-backed by
Russia occupy more territories and cities; especially Aleppo, rebel groups and
the ISIS should be given a free hand to continue fighting and to violate the
ceasefire-agreements in relation to Syrian war, particularly Aleppo.
Victory of Aleppo disapponted the Israelis and
the Zionist Jews, including failure of the partition of Syria in accordance
with the US Plan-B. Hence, so as to seek revenge, Mossad conducted several
terrorism-related attacks in Turkey, Iraq, Syria, Egypt and elsewhere in the world
through ISIS. In this connection, medical treatment of the ISIS terrorists in
Israeli hospital, arrests of Mossad-CIA agents and those of American and NATO
military personnel in Syria and Iraq might be cited as example.
However, because of Trump’s other intentions
like erection of boundary wall between the US-Mexico border in wake of
criticism of the controversial Turkish-EU refugee deal by a number of human
rights groups, his appreciation of Britain’s decision to leave the European
Union EU, after the referendum (Brexit) on June 24, 2016 in wake of the divide
between the elite class which run multinational companies with the direct or
indirect control of the Jews—the general masses who are suffering from multiple
problems, differences on the refugee crisis, Syrian war, Greece’s weak economy,
recent violent protests against the labour laws in France etc.—the chances of
European Union’s disintegration which will give a greater blow to the US-Europe
alliance against Russia, while, a rift between the NATO countries, as noted in
the recent past by the “Stop NATO protests” in Europe are quite opposite to the
Israeli and American interests.
During the previous Cold war,
alliances and counter alliances were made by the former Soviet Union and
America to balance each other in various parts of the world.
As regards the new Cold War,
owing to his successful and skilful diplomacy Russian President Putin who has
restored balance of power in the uni-polar world, concluded alliances with a
number of countries. In this regard, reports suggest that both Russia and China have
agreed to have the same stand in relation to Syria’s civil war, and to fight
the rebel groups and terrorist outfits like ISIS.
While, Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan’s
rebuke of European nations, accusing them of dictatorship and cruelty for
keeping their frontiers closed to the refugees, fleeing the Syrian conflict
created a rift between the West and Turkey, the close ally of NATO. On February
10, last year, President Erdogan lashed out at the US over its support for
Syria’s main Kurdish group, saying, “The failure to recognize the Democratic
Union Party (PYD) as a terrorist group is creating a “sea of blood.” He
explained, “The PYD, on which the US relies to battle so-called Islamic State
in Syria, is an offshoot of the banned Kurdistan Workers’ Party.”
As regards the failed rebellion-attempt of July
15, 2016, Turkey’s president Erdogan and top officials of his government have
held the US and CIA for the failed coup to topple his regime by backing and
replacing Erdogan with the CIA’s “designated figurehead”, cleric Fethullah
Gülen, currently living in Pennsylvania in the US.
By neglecting American pressure, President
Erdogan who has taken steps in the end of June, 2016 to improve relations with
Russia to strengthen its hand in fighting against militants, stated that the
attack at the Istanbul airport should serve as a turning point in the global
battle against terrorism. Reports suggest that Ankara is also considering a
military agreement with Moscow.
On December 28, last year, Ankara and Moscow
have reportedly agreed on a draft nationwide ceasefire in Syria, and
unspecified “terrorist organizations” would be excluded from the deal. In past
agreements, “terrorist organizations” have included ISIS and the
Al-Qaeda-linked Jabhat al-Nusra.
Earlier, Russia, Iran and Turkey met in Moscow
on December 21, 2016 to work toward a political accord to end Syria’s nearly
six-year war, leaving the United States on the sidelines. Secretary of State
John Kerry was not invited. Nor was the United Nations consulted.
The US President Obama’s contradictory approach
which has resulted into failure of America’s external policy in the Middle East
has been meeting the same fate in South Asia. Like Syria, Pakistan is also main
arena of the new Cold War. Particularly, fast growing economic power of China
coupled with her rising strategic relationship with Russia, the Third World and
especially Pakistan—after signing of agreement, China-Pakistan Economic
Corridor (CPEC) has irked the eyes of Americans, Indians and Israelis. Owing to
jealousy, America desires to make India a major power to counterbalance China
in Asia.
During his first visit to New Delhi, on November
6, 2010, President Obama announced the measures, America would take regarding
removal of Indian space and defence companies from a restricted “entities
list”, and supported Indian demand for a permanent seat in the UN Security
Council including membership of four key global nuclear nonproliferation
regimes.
Earlier, on November 2, 2010, the US agreed to
sell India the most expensive—the new F-35 fighter jets including US F-16 and
F-18 fighters, C-17 and C-130 aircraft, radar systems, Harpoon weapons etc.
Besides, New Delhi is also getting arms and weapons from Israel. America also
pressurized International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) and the Nuclear Suppliers
Group to grant a waiver to New Delhi for obtaining civil nuclear trade on
larger scale.
Washington had signed a pact of nuclear civil
technology with New Delhi in 2008. During American President Barack Obama’s
visit to India, on January 25, 2016, the US and India announced a breakthrough
on the pact which would allow American companies to supply New Delhi with
civilian nuclear technology.
Beijing is apprehensive about the emerging
threat, as during the last visit of Obama to New Delhi, the intent of President
Obama and Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi was quite clear, while mentioning
about free sea lanes and air passages in the South China Sea.
Similarly, by pursuing the double standards of
America in its worst form, Trump also intends to favour India, while opposing
the nuclear weapons of Pakistan. Because, being the only nuclear country in the
Islamic World, Pakistan annoys the US, Israel and some Western countries.
However, like Obama, Trump has brushed aside the ground realities that Indian
Prime Minister Modi led by the ruling fundamentalist party BJP has been
implementing anti-Muslim and anti-Pakistan agenda, while encouraging Hindutva
(Hindu nationalism)..
As part of the double game, based in
Afghanistan, operatives of American CIA, Indian RAW and Israeli Mossad which
have well-established their secret network there, and are well-penetrated in
the terrorist outfits like ISIS, Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) and their
affiliated Taliban groups are using their terrorists to destabilize Tibetan
regions of China, Iranian Sistan-Baluchistan and Pakistan’s Balochistan by
arranging the subversive activities. In this context, the China-Pakistan
Economic Corridor (CPEC) is their special target. Recent acts of terrorism in
Pakistan’s Balochistan and Afghanistan are part of the same scheme.
Taking note of the US-India alliance, in the
trilateral meeting which held in Moscow on December 27, last year, Russia,
China and Pakistan agreed on efforts to remove Afghan individuals from the UN
sanctions lists as part of efforts to foster peaceful dialogue between Kabul
and the Taliban movement in Afghanistan. The Russian inclusion in the CPEC
project was another important agenda of the meeting. Russian close ally, Iran
may also join the project.
And in September 2016, a contingent of Russian
ground forces arrived in Pakistan and conducted the first ever joint
Pak-Russian exercise at a time when tensions between Pakistan and India was
running high following an attack on the Uri military camp in Indian-held
Kashmir, which was managed by Indian RAW to distort Pakistan’s image and to
divert attention from the new Intifada of Kashmiris. Nevertheless, Pak-Russia
exercise was being seen as a demonstration of closer defence ties between
Islamabad and Moscow after they signed a military cooperation pact in 2014.
It is mentionable that in
October, 2016, Dmitry Peskov, a
Kremlin spokesman, said that Russia was
considering restoring military bases in Vietnam and Cuba—Cold War flashpoints
and lasting symbols of the enmity between the US and Soviet Union. He added, “It’s
quite natural that all countries assess these changes in line with their
national interests and take certain steps in the way they consider
appropriate.”
On the other side, on November
28, 2016, Donald Trump threatened to terminate US relationship with Cuba—deal
signed by Barack Obama to end a diplomatic standoff with Havana.
Nonetheless, a new cold war has already started
between the US-led Europe and Russia. After taking cognizance of the grievances
of the international community, Russian President Vladimir Putin is rapidly
restoring the balance of power in the world. Moscow which also has China’s
support is in better position than the US and its western (NATO) allies who are
also entangled in a prolonged war in Afghanistan and the Middle East, while
America’s endless war against terrorism continues. Besides its western
partners, this Cold War will further enhance American expenditures by deepening
the US momentary problems, while it is already becoming difficult for Washington
to maintain its military bases abroad. According to a recent report, America is
near military collapse.
It is worth-mentioning that when President Obama
hosted the fourth Nuclear Security Summit in Washington on March 31, 2016 to
check the spread of nuclear weapons, showing concerns about the ambitions of
terrorist groups such as the ISIS in acquiring a nuclear weapon or radioactive
material, Donald Trump had taken a different stand in his interview with the
CNN by stating, “More nuclear weapons could make the world safer…US can no
longer afford to bankroll the defense of its allies in Europe, Asia and the
Middle East…Japan, South Korea and Saudi Arabia may need arsenals to confront
threats in their region on their own.”
It displays contradictory approach of Donald
Trump, as on the one side, he says that US can no longer afford to bankroll the
defense of its allies in Europe, Asia and the Middle East, while on the other;
he wants to make America supreme power of the world.
However, coped with multiple internal and external issues
and problems, the US has already weakened its position in relation to the new
Cold War.
It is noteworthy that like William II and
Hitler, Trump is uncompromising. True to his rigid approach, he has set aside
the facts that one of the major causes of the disintegration of the former
Russian Empire was that its greater defence expenditures exceeded to the
maximum, resulting in economic crises inside the country. In this context,
about a protracted war in Afghanistan, the former Russian President Gorbachev
had declared it as the “bleeding wound.”
While learning no lesson, the US has been acting
upon the similar policies which led to the demise of the Soviet Union. Trump
who lacks pragmatism would expedite the disintegration of America and the EU
like the former Soviet Union.
As part of the new Cold War,
Russia is making alliances, while the President-elect Trump will break
America’s alliances. Trump’s only alliance will be with Israel and India who
are endangering the peace of the Middle East and South Asia, as they wanted to
continue atrocities on the Palestinians and Kashmiris to keep their hold on the
occupied territories of Palestine and Kashmir.
Following the conspiracy of
Mossad, the rigid and racist policies of Donald Trump are causing more
recruitment in the ISIS outfit, inspiring the extremist Muslims for more
terrorism attacks. This Mossad-Trump cabal could also result into civil war in
the US. Israel, who will never accept
the two-state solution of the Israeli-Palestinian issue, will prefer to seek
the final revenge by bringing about a major war between the Muslim and the
Christian worlds or to cause a major war between Russia and the US, which will
convert the entire world into holocaust.
