Moscow and the formation of The New World System

by Imad Fawzi Shueibi

Damascus (Syria)
Imad Fawzi Shueibi examines the reasons and consequences of Russia’s recent position at the Security Council. Moscow’s backing of Syria is not a posture but the result of an in-depth analysis of the shifting global balance of power. The current crisis will crystallize into a new world configuration, which, from the unipolar model inherited after the collapse of the USSR, will gradually evolve towards a multipolar system. Inevitably, this transition will plunge the world into a period of geopolitical turbulence the repercussions of which are scrutinized by the author.

U.S. Prepares Georgia for New Wars in Caucasus and Iran

by Rick Rozoff

Chicago (USA)

Placed in power in 2003 by a US-backed regime change operation, Georgian President Saakashvili has enthusiastically pandered to Washington’s every whim ever since: From contributing a hefty troop contingent in Afghanistan, to opening up his country’s territory to accommodate US military designs in the region, essentially against Russia. This time, as Rick Rozoff details, Georgia’s soil will be used in a possible attack on Iran. In return, Saakashvili’s puppet masters have promised to secure him another electoral win.

DOUBLE VETO BANS IMPERIAL WAR AGAINST SYRIA

by Thierry Meyssan

Damascus (Syria)

Contrary to her position at the time of the attack on Iraq, in the case of Syria France failed to defend the principles of international law, rallying instead the imperial camp and its lies. Together with the United Kingdom and the United States, she has suffered a diplomatic defeat of historic proportions, while Russia and China have become the champions of the sovereignty of peoples and peace. The new international balance of power is not only a consequence of the United States’ military decline, it is also a penalty for their falling prestige. Ultimately, Western powers have lost the leadership they enjoyed throughout the twentieth century, having forsaken all legitimacy by betraying their own values.

by Stephen Lendman

Mesmerized by the multitudinous celebrations marking the 33rd anniversary of the Islamic revolution, Stephen Lendman observes that if the United States has never witnessed anything similar, it is because people who have nothing to celebrate "simply don’t get out and do it." Against a backdrop of US interference in Iran’s internal affairs, the author wonders whether gaining control of its entirely government-owned central bank may be one of the major factors driving Washington’s military agenda today.

Syria 2011-2012, a rematch of Israel's 2006 war on Lebanon

Syria has been slated for regime change since at least 2002, when it was included in the "Axis of Evil" by the Bush Administration. In this context, Nazemroaya maintains that toppling the government in Damascus was the key objective of Israel’s ill-fated blitz on Lebanon in 2006. In geo-political terms, what Israel failed to achieve then is currently being attempted by NATO and the GCC through a low-intensity proxy war inside Syria itself.

Faced with competition from the SCO, will NATO choose diplomacy or arms?

10 February 2012

While the likelihood of a conventional war against Syria has been swept aside by the Russian and Chinese double veto, Westerners have been left with no alternative plan. Above all, they do not know how to handle the conflict pitting them against the Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO): Should they use diplomacy, or are they in a position to start a proxy war?
The answer to this question depends on the acceptance or denial of the decline of the U.S. empire. The war party is considering a form of low intensity conflict with militant groups operating from bases in Turkey, Lebanon and Jordan. Realists will not fail to point out that in such a case the war will spill beyond these three states and fatally engulf Israel.
In the absence of a defined strategy, each side is trying to consolidate its positions. The Syrian National Council is heading to Qatar in the hope of being recognized by the Gulf States as the sole representative of the Syrian people instead of the Syrian Arab (...)

9 February 2012

At the forefront of the international stage, Turkey has called for the creation of a group of "Friends of Democratic Syria," modeled on the "Contact Group for Libya," while the Italian press ruminates over the possibilities of NATO indirect intervention. However, if such action were to take place, it would violate international law in the wake of the double veto Russia and China, and will therefore probably be discussed in secret.
Behind the scenes, there is another activity going on. The Russian delegation to Damascus has underwritten a secret agreement between several actors. According to our sources, the release of a certain number of Turkish prisoners of war and Iranian civilian hostages has been obtained. In return, Turkey would refrain from intervening in Syria and Iran would stop supporting rebel groups in Turkey.
The war plan against Syria having been frustrated, the West is seeking an alternative strategy. But already, some states have pulled out of the (...)

Russia's popularity in Syria confounds the West

The Western press continues to dwell on the triumphant welcome given to the Russian delegation by the people in Damascus, but is at a loss to explain it. It fails to understand the reason for such a huge turnout or why the throng cheered Sergei Lavrov when it should have jeered him. Above all, it is outraged that anyone could prefer Russia to NATO, whose moral values it considers to be far more superior.
Several Western newspapers give prominence to internal criticism in Russia and China, the only reasonable voices in their opinion.
For its part, the Gulf press focuses on the recall of the ambassadors and observers.
