US and Israel will soon be isolated from the rest of the world

At first glance, the title of this article may sound too incredible to imagine and many (in the US and Israel) will dismiss it as pure fantasy. But is it?

In the last couple of weeks we have seen changes taking place that suggest the balance of global power is beginning to move in a different direction.

Despite the "valiant" efforts of the Mainstream Media (mostly controlled by those supportive of the Bush administration and Israel), in trying to "brainwash" their readers into believing that Russia is now the "bad guy" again. It is encouraging to see that their tactics are not working quite as well as they have done in the past, and people are starting to ask questions.

But what has caused this sudden change? This can be answered in two words: Greed and Stupidity!

Once upon a time, America was a great country, it really was the land of opportunity and everyone wanted to go there to make their dreams come true. Many other countries tried to copy their success and developed a more western style. Unfortunately, some time between then and now, America stopped leading by example and decided that it should "force" its lifestyle on others (whether they wanted it or not).

At some point, America abandoned its belief in "freedom and democracy" and became an "enforcer", a country that bullied others and dictated terms to them, the very thing that the American people have been brought up to despise.

Sadly, this change in tactics has been accepted by many Americans as the "correct" thing to do and some truly believe that America has a right to impose its beliefs on others. However, if the situation was reversed, would American citizens consider this acceptable? We have already seen the reaction of some to the increase in immigrants from Mexico and the growing use of Spanish in the United States. There is also a growing fear that Islam may play a more active part in the religious make-up of the country. How would Americans feel if they were taken over (by force) by one of these groups and told that it was in their best interests? There are many who still haven´t noticed that Israel has more influence over their country than any other group in the USA.

Since Bush was "elected", Russia has had to listen to his insults (and those of Cheney, Rice and others), but has made every attempt to respond in a diplomatic way. However, there is always a limit to what people can accept and that line has well and truly been crossed now.

Even though the Bush administration have illegally invaded Iraq and Afghanistan, and recently carried out attacks within the sovereign territory of Pakistan (killing many civilians), you do not see reports in the Russian press with headlines like "Russia demand that the US pullout of Iraq" or "The US must be punished for their invasion of Iraq". Maybe we should, but you don´t. Russia has preferred (at least until recently) to use diplomatic methods (talk) to resolve situations. But how can you "talk" with a country that does not want to listen and seeks your destruction?

The US has been "buying" the leaders of ex-Soviet States to join them, in order to try and take control of Russia at some future date. Not to bring some "democracy and freedom" to that country, but to take its resources and move one step nearer to global supremacy.

However, those involved in this plan (the US and Israel) have become impatient and looked to speed up the process (with the conflict between Russia and Georgia). This was their biggest mistake, but perhaps a blessing for the rest of the world. Russia (and many other countries) have seen that action must be taken quickly to rectify this problem and as a result we are likely to see a major increase in arms supplies to countries that are located near the US and Israel. These may well be of a defensive nature (initially), but the increased number of locations where missiles could be launched, will greatly reduce The US and Israel´s ability to defend themselves if they were used, thus neutralizing their ability to use their weapons at all.

News that Russia is considering supplying defensive missiles to Syria has certainly got Israel worried, and Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert has requested a meeting with the Russian President, Dmitry Medvedev, to find out more. Olmert has been quoted as saying he may try and "block" any such deal, but it is unclear how he hopes to achieve that (especially as he must step down in September because of fraud and bribery charges). Perhaps if Israel weren´t the main supplier of weapons to Georgia, Russia would not be considering doing the same. What goes around comes around.


Over the next few months we can expect to see the heat turned up on the US and Israel, but the outcome is really up to them. In the meantime, we may see Europe look towards Russia as a more "stable" partner and perhaps a doorway to a much more lucrative market (not just in Russia).

Although Russia has a good supply of natural Resources, there are many areas that could benefit from European technologies and investment, but this would have to be on mutually acceptable terms (something that hasn´t always existed in the past). There is much Europe and Russia can offer each other, and maybe Europe would like the opportunity to be less dependent on America? Russia can also provide military protection as well, this is not an ability that is exclusive to America.

We have seen that many Middle Eastern countries respect and trust Russia (apart from Israel) and they have good relations with many countries that the US dislike (which is quite a long list nowadays). What better time to get around the table for a friendly chat and a few business deals? Maybe it´s time to make some "changes", and wait for the US and Israel to behave themselves more before allowing them in to a world that can get along without threats, if they are given a chance?
