There will be no world war: We are already immersed in it! The question is how far it will go. Let those who are believers pray because we are on the edge of the abyss.
Abbas mandate as "president" expired over a decade ago. He is maintained in place by the Israeli occupation forces.
In the West Bank, the Palestinian Authority is fighting alongside Israel against Palestinian Resistance members. Palestinian Authority checks for IEDs prior to Israeli army entering Palestinian towns and villages, arrests Palestinians wanted by Israel, and provides human intelligence to Israeli occupation forces.
The problem of Abbas is well known. The problem of proper representation for Palestinians goes back to Hamas's election and the West's denial of that reality. Unfortunately, Lavrov is correct when he turns to the Outlaw US Empire and accuses them as the guilty party. It appears there will be a Palestine or an empty, irradiated Levant as the Zionists nuke the region in their vengeance for losing.
The problem of Palestinian representation dates back to 1965, with Yasser Arafat and the Fatah organization he led and the PLO which he took control of in 1969.
Arafat was an agent of the Empire. What most people are not aware of, is that all money from the Empire's oil vassals was in his personal name. Thus by controlling the purse he was able to control, corrupt and sell-out the struggle of the Palestinians and their resistance. Critics were assassinated.
Currently, Fatah and the PLO exist only where they are provided protection by Israeli occupation forces.
The priority must be to establish Palestine as a full, and fully recognized, State with security guarantees given that UN Resolutions provided cover for an ill-defined Jewish State.
The UN has demonstrated for decades that they lack the will or means to effect such a thing.
Off topic and personal. Exposing how little I knew.
Lavrov's interview in which he recounts the history of the UN, the importance of the rule of law, and the decades, if not a 100 years, of the West attacking Russia, was very insightful for me. True I have been following the Ukraine war and reading thousands of comments on MOA and reading, for the first time, direct Russian works on this substack, given all that for some reason the Lavrov interview was the icing on the cake.
Here is what happened the rest of the day. I live in Columbus OH and there are two leftists low power FM stations. Each has a radius of transmission of 7 miles. The next day after reading the Lavrov's transcript there were two things I heard on the radio in my car.
One was on Haiti. A indigenous citizen recounted the criminal behavior of the Clinton's and others. They set up the government. They destroyed all written records so locals had no claim to their land. They brought in low cost rice from the US megafarms and other places which the locals had to purchase at the lower price. And billions of dollars were stolen. knew it was a mess but I didn't realize that it was criminal colonialization of the worst kind.
Then the this was topped off later in the day with Hillary Clinton saying that Putin will elect Trump. Hence you must vote against Trump to save America's democracy from Putin!
I had not realized how fake the 2016 Russia Gate story was, nor how criminal the Clinton's work in Haiti had been. That day was a big learning event for me.
Afterthought: The "pandemic" led to learning about corruption in the health field and the Ukraine war got me into global politics for really the first time. I was disengaged in politics until 2004 when the election was stolen here in OH. The democratic party did not forcefully take up the issue of election integrity because, in my opinion, they wanted to be able to manipulate elections in the future. Heck yes, this is what the US has done around the world, why not bring the same behavior back home?
I totally forgot about Ohio in 2004. Kerry was on track to win .... i only remember it dimly but Ohio was solidly dem then last minute returns flipped it repub or something...?
I agree that Lavrov needs to take off the gloves, and he knows that diplomatic language is lost on the US and Israel, but he still persists and that's because they're not ready for the second part - taking action. Unlike the US which bypassed the UNSC and did as it pleased with impunity the Russians and Chinese have a solid case to do likewise, and take action. They'll never be in a position to get through to the west's powerless populations, so why bother. The global majority will see and understand; at least those without those western rose coloured spectacles.
Karl posted an interview of Lavrov a couple of days ago. He laid out Russia's essential role in the UN right from the start and the US/UK efforts to break up Russia. I learned a lot from that interview. How many years will it be until USA learns about even this: the UN has been an instrument of USA domination of the global order?
In a way the Gaza genocide may be a blessing because it has clearly shown the RoW that US has selective moral principles. We can turn them on when we want to, or we can turn them off anytime.
In Karl's substack before this one "Energy Cooperation in a Multipolar World -- Russia's energy theme week" Putin said the unsayable: the US is no longer competitive. Michael Hudson's theme of debt holds as the US financial extraction of internal resources such as housing, student debt, medical debt, credit card debt, and the environment, all this has made the base living cost too high for US to be competitive.
And the wounded beast is lashing out. And Russia's slow moves, and their genuine concern for the rule of law, is shown ever more brightly as a contrast to the West. Or should I put it in lower case, the west?
Lavrov should also point the finger at the neocons around (and including) Biden. When people like Ritter utter stupid stuff like "the US doesn't want a wider war", I ask: "Who is 'the US', paleface?" The only faction that counts in the US administration are the neocons.
People are also making the mistake that just because the Pentagon appears to have put its foot down on the notion of launching long-range missiles into Russia - because they are rightfully afraid of WWIII - that does not apply to the Middle East. So believing that the US general who visited Israel twice in one week was there to tell Netanyahu that the US wouldn't back a ground invasion into Lebanon - at the same time sending a battalion of the 101st Airborne to prepare the ground for the arrival of the entire Division - is delusional, another cover story. But most of the "analysts" including Ritter, Macgregor, Wilkerson and others appear to have bought into it.
The Pentagon is not afraid of Lebanon, or Syria (except for the Russian presence there), or Iraq, or Yemen, or Iran. They will be perfectly happy to send whatever ground troops are needed into the first four, although they can't with Iran due to the size of the Iranian militia (one to ten million men). When the time comes, they will send as many troops as they can scrape together in the Middle East (an estimated 40,000) plus more from the US as available to Israel and stage from there into Lebanon. This won't happen immediately, they will rely on air and naval power first, but everyone knows that's not going to work, so ground troops will be absolutely necessary, no matter what the military analysts say.
The same applies to Israel. They can genocide from the air as many Lebanese as they want, but the only way to get those displaced Israeli back to the north is to go in on the ground. And once that happens and they get their asses kicked, which they will, they will beg the US for ground troops and they will get them. Anything is hopium delusion.
Anyone have info if the so called reported US anger at NataSatan resulted in him cutting his trip short. Like did they pull security off him, and he had no other way but the airport? I thought he had some lap dogs at cap hill, that lick his A$$ everytime he came
This is war against humanity,,, sooner or later the hot war will hit everyone, incl Rusia, China etc. It is better to confront now than later

The overall intractable nature of the Palestine Problem exposes what it's within--Western Imperialism--which is the topic of my next substack.
Thank you Mr. Sanchez.
TY for this informative update re UN happenings. I share your frustrations w/ Lavrov / Russia ... Zionist Crusades is spot on. !!
The priority must be to establish Palestine as a full, and fully recognized, State with security guarantees given that UN Resolutions provided cover for an ill-defined Jewish State.
The UN has demonstrated for decades that they lack the will or means to effect such a thing.
And so gross injustice will continue.

With Nasrallah martyred prior to Chin and Russia speaking today, will that alter their speeches? The conflict will continue until the Zionists lose.
If the Russians take out the Spiders Web a.k.a. London, the Dracula Empire is dead!
Well it's one of the locations, but it's not the "head" or even the centre. You don't think that Wall St wouldn't dance on London's grave?
USA is a slow learner.

Need a diagram? The creature showed it when it talked. The destruction of Iran, Iraq, Syria, Lebanon and Palestine.
Agree completely.
Lavrov should also point the finger at the neocons around (and including) Biden. When people like Ritter utter stupid stuff like "the US doesn't want a wider war", I ask: "Who is 'the US', paleface?" The only faction that counts in the US administration are the neocons.

We shall see how it plays out. That's really all that can be said at this juncture.
Only the Lord knows what happens next.
"And even though that's so damned obvious, Lavrov and others can't bring themselves to utter that word and tell it like it is.,"
Does he really have to? Everybody there knows exactly who he's talking about. Personally, I like his classy approach.
Agree.
I'm afraid like you that Lavrov, Putin, Russia, China don't realize that the CW is at war with them.
Letting the Zionists/Ukranians commit war crimes/genocide with hardly any pushback is not
a recipe for achieving peace.
It's time for the resistance to send a message that enough is enough.
The Pentagon, bless 'em', has done all the limit setting it is allowed as part of serving its civilian masters.
Nothing can be said or will be said until after the election, which now indirectly includes a referendum on Ukraine, at least.
Good read, and analysis Mr Sanchez!.
