When Evil Is Allowed In, Evil Stays by Paul Craig Roberts!

On two previous occasions Israel sent its vaunted army into southern Lebanon only to be driven out by the Arab militia, Hezbollah, operating without tanks, without an air force, without air defense.

It appears that it has now happened again. Israel has been stopped cold on the ground, causing the Israeli defense minister to announce an end to the ground operations.

The Israeli Army is only good at killing women and children from the air, as in Gaza.

Israels war against Hezbollah has been replaced with Israeli air strikes against civilian residential areas in Beirut, which provides more evidence that the only function of the Israeli military is to murder women and children from the air.

The obvious conclusion is that the Israeli military does not fight; it commits war crimes against civilians.

The reason civilian neighborhoods in Beirut, the capital of Lebanon and not Hezbollah territory, are being destroyed from the air is that Iran and Russia permit it by not providing air defense systems to Lebanon.

Iran and Russia are "maintaining peace" by permitting Israel to slaughter Lebanese women and children and destroy schools and hospitals from the air.

It is a paradox that Washington,D.C., Putin, and Iran are equally indifferent to Israels slaughter from the air of civilians in Gaza and civilians in Lebanon. Any one of the three countries could stop the murder of civilians, but not one of them will do anything.

President Putin has placed his bets on BRICS, but that is an economic organization that might or might not succeed. Its success is handicapped by the fact that the Russian and Chinese economists are indoctrinated by the American neoliberals, and, therefore, are not merely worthless to their countries but positively harmful.

If Washington,D.C. wanted the Israelis murder of Palestinian and Lebanese civilians to stop, Washington,D.C. would stop providing Israel with the weapons.

Clearly, Israel is doing what Washington,D.C. wants. But why do Russia and Iran want Palestinian and Lebanese civilians to be massacred when either country can stop it?

It is beginning to look as if it is not merely Washington,D.C. and Israel that Satan has in his grasp, but Russia and Iran as well.

Every time President Putin gets off-focused from Russias only threat-Washington,D.C.-he finds himself with a mess on this hands.

With President Putin focused on the Olympics in China, Washington,D.C. sent the Georgian army into South Ossetia.

With President Putin focused on the Sochi Olympics, Washington,D.C. overthrew the Ukrainian government and brought war to Russia.

Now President Putin is focused on BRICS and Washington,D.C. is stirring up a color revolution in Georgia to regain the former Russian province as another beached against Russia.

The opposition parties and the President of Georgia do not accept the election results, which are favorable to Russia. See: "please see here:"

I think that President Putin by refusing to use power is losing credibility.

I do not think President Putin understands the ideological character of the Democrat Party and the ideological woke liberal-left that controls it. If the Democrats manage to retain control over the government, I do not think President Putin is prepared for the consequences.

Humankind, said T.S. Eliot, "cannot bear very much reality." That is as true of Russians as of Americans.

Reality conflicts with hopes, aspirations, and plans, and when ignored upsets all of them. President Putins Ukraine conflict which has greatly widened, the brewing color revolution in Georgia supported by Washington,D.C., and Irans demonization and isolation are all self-inflicted disasters caused by ignoring reality.

When powerful countries such as Russia, China, and Iran stand aside from genocide, they destroy their own reputations. The world is crying out for someone with the means to stand up for humanity, for justice, for truth, and there are no takers.

In Gaza children undergo amputations without anesthesia. The little water available is polluted. Everyone is sick. Washington,D.C. keeps sending the weapons used from the air against purely civilian populations. Disease and starvation will finish the job for the Americans and the Israelis. It is the United States of America that has enabled this genocide.

And Americans, in their insouciant existence, think they are the salt of the earth.
