Is Putin Responsible for Israels April 1 Attack on Damascus, Syria, that Killed 7 officers of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard? by Paul Craig Roberts

As I often emphasize, President Putins determination to avoid war has the result of widening war as the consequence has been more and more dangerous provocations.

Iran said Israel will be punished for the attack, causing President Biden to forget which country he is president of and rush to Israels defense sending more United States military force into an area already over-loaded with United States military, declaring: "We are devoted to the defense of Israel. We will support Israel. We will help to defend Israel."

It was President Putin who prevented President Obamas overthrow of Syria by proactively sending the Russian Air Force to Syrias defense.

This is an example, perhaps the only one, of President Putin showing strategic vision in war. The great puzzle is: why has President Putin left Syria unprotected with air defense against Israeli and United States attacks?

If the Israeli planes that attacked Damascus had been shot down, we would not be facing the escalation of Israeli aggression into Iran and an outbreak of wider war.

In an age of nuclear weapons, war must be avoided. The avoidance of war requires countervailing force against the aggressors. As Russia and China do not provide the countervailing force, the war widens.

America Is No Longer a Merit-based Society by Paul Craig Roberts!

Blue cities and blue school boards see merit as a tool of white supremacy and have erased it.

The latest example is the closing of schools for the gifted in the woke city of Seattle, Washington. You guessed it: there were too many white and Asian students. "please see here:"

In the United States of America merit has been overthrown by "equity," which has been redefined to mean privilege for people of color and the gender-confused. The elimination of merit-based learning is the way that liberals admit that there are racial differences in motivation and intelligence.

The abandonment of merit is now widespread in the United States of America and goes far beyond education.

American corporations, the Pentagon, and Hollywood have stated that white people are sidelined for promotion and staring roles while non-merit based promotions are made to achieve "equity." Thus has privilege in law been restored in the face of the 14th Amendment which bans it.
