COMMENT POSTED TO AN ARTICLE IN SPUTNIK
“US-Led Coalition
Destroyed Four Bridges, Interrupting Transportation in Raqqa”

Response to another
reader’s comment about all this reflecting America/Israel’s goal of snatching
and grabbing a piece of Syria, perhaps using the Kurds to do it.
Yes, of course, you are right.
The really disappointing thing here is that Trump has
literally been paved over by the Pentagon and CIA.
It might as well be Hillary or Obama still making decisions.
But of course, in this sphere, Trump "making
decisions" is only an illusion.
Just as it was an illusion for Obama.
American foreign policy - that really should be, American
efforts to dominate the globe - is not determined by the elected President.
There have been many hints of that being the case in the
past - Kennedy, Johnson, Nixon - but it seems to me that what we see now is
clearer than ever.
An outsider, a strong-willed iconoclast, comes to office
saying things like "Why are we hostile to Russia?" and "Why is
the whole Middle East in flames?" and a few months later, we are back to
where we were. Perhaps even worse than where we were.
Do elections at the highest level even matter in America?
