every failure of the empire gladdens my heart, as the southerners would say, if they were thinking, and here is evidence of much failure;
If the Anti-Iran conference in Warsaw was the opening act, the annual Munich Security Conference was the main event. Both produced a lot of speeches, grandstanding and virtue-signaling, as well as a lot of shuffling of feet and looking at the ground.
The message from the U.S., Israel and Saudi Arabia was clear, “We are still committed to the destruction of Syria as a functional state to end the growing influence of Iran.”
Europe, for the most part, doesn’t buy that argument anymore. Germany
certainly doesn’t. France is only interested in how they can curry
favor with the U.S. to wrest control of the EU from Germany. The U.K. is
a hopeless has-been, living on Deep State inertia and money laundered
through City of London.
The Poles just want to stick it to the Russians.
Everyone else has a bad case of, “been there, done that, ain’t doin’ it again.”
They know supporting the fiction that the War in Syria was a war
against the evil President Bashar al-Assad is counter-productive.
The geopolitical landscape is changing quickly. And these countries,
like Hungary, Italy, and the Czech Republic, know that the current
policy trajectory of the Trump administration vis a vis Russia, Iran and
China is a suicide pact for them.
So they show up when called, receive our ‘diplomats’ and then pretty
much ignore everything they said. This is what happened, ultimately, in
Munich.
Even the EU leadership has no illusions about the goals of the
U.S./Israeli/Saudi policy on Syria. And that’s why they refused to shut
Russia and Iran out of the Munich Security Conference despite the
hyperventilating of Pompeo’s amateur-hour State Dept.............https://www.zerohedge.com/news/2019-02-18/warsaw-and-munich-whistling-past-natos-graveyard
