Zionist Slaughterer Israel, Turkey checkmated in Syria

An interview with E. Michael Jones, editor of Culture Wars Online Magazine, about a senior Israeli minister saying that Syrian President Bashar al-Assad may win the battle against the foreign-backed insurgents.
Question: Now no matter what Israeli officials do to refute this claim, it is quite obvious that Israeli officials as well as government officials in the West are coming to this realization that the Syrian government does have the upper hand, it is gaining momentum and it does have the backing of the people?

Jones: Yes well he is only stating the obvious. After the capture of al-Qusayr, after the capture of that crucial crossroad, it is obvious that the government now has the initiative in the battle and now they moved the battle on to Aleppo.

So yes, he is only stating the obvious, there is nothing that anyone can refute by what he says no matter how high they are in the government.

I think what we are seeing here though is the playing out of the fatal flaw of United States foreign policy here which became apparent when John Kerry became Secretary of State succeeding Hillary Clinton.

Hillary Clinton’s policy of supporting these Salafists and the Takfiri backfired when Kerry said they could not give them any more weapons. I think this was a crucial turning point in the whole war in Syria. He didn’t trust the Takfiris, he thought they are going to use them against Israel and so he did not give them the weapons and at that point they lost the initiative and the government gained the initiative.

Q: Mr. Jones, let me just cut in there. Looking at now how the Syrian government has made massive advances in Syria, do you think that the US and its allies are now going to reassess their approach considering that they have put a lot in this one basket of hoping to overthrow the Assad government?

Jones: Yes they are going to have to and I am sure that the Israel lobby and its representatives like John McCain and Lindsey Graham are going to argue for putting American troops on the ground in Syria but that is not going to work now.

Obama is in a very weak position right now. He has been attacked by The New York Times over the whole NSA phone tapping scandal. So he is just not in a position to follow in the footsteps of all those marines that got killed in Lebanon under Ronald Reagan. It is just not going to happen.

The whole point of using the Salafists and the Takfiri was to keep American troops off the ground and they seem to had success in Libya and so supposedly followed up by success in Syria but the entrance of Russia into that battle, the fact that they drew a line in the sand just ended that. So I think they are going to have to negotiate the settlement now.

Q: But what about the US allies within the region? Syria already has Israel on one side and also has Turkey which has deployed Patriot missiles from the US and now the F-16 fighter jets just from the US as well as Patriot missiles are being deployed on the border with Jordan. Do you think that the US can make use of its allies within the region as sort of a last resort?

Jones: No they are both stalemate. Turkey is stalemated because Erdogan has a home-grown anti-capitalist revolution on his hands over that park in Ankara.

Israel is stalemated because they played their one card, they attacked Damascus airport with what some people are claiming it was a tactical nuclear weapon and that brought the Russians in with their S-300s which has checkmated Israel. They can’t do that again. Their planes will be shot down.

So at the same time the supply line from Hezbollah through Iraq, Syria-Iraq to Iran has [helped]. So they have their supply lines open whereas the Salafists supply lines are going to be cut. So I think they gonna have to negotiate.
