Zionist censored post to Paul Pillar's Essay in The National Interest , October 11, 2019

This article is so wrong in so many ways, primarily stemming from the divorced-from-reality founding narrative.
Right from the start:
"The reported procedure ..."
I read the link; there is no "reported procedure" mentioned
... through which Trump reached the decision is hard to defend."
The unreported procedure is actually easy to defend. When Trump ran for office he said he would get the US out of ill-conceived, disastrous -- and criminal, though Trump didn't use that term -- wars in the mideast, with the one exception being that he would destroy ISIS. While he was supported in his successful campaign to destroy ISIS, he was obstructed from his withdrawal efforts. So now, after two and a half years of "procedure" and several false starts blocked by the usual supporters of "forever war", he has asserted his C-in-C authority, got the situation moving forward, away from the frozen status quo, and executed at least a partial "withdrawal". And yes, it may not be so much a withdrawal as a repositioning.
"It appeared to be an impulsive act,... that was not vetted through the relevant policy bureaucracy."
After two and a half years it is hardly an impulsive act. Meanwhile, "the relevant policy bureaucracy" is the Neocon-owned State Dept, DC's Neocon foreign policy shops, and the multitude of fellow traveler war-mongers who have consistently betrayed US interests (on behalf of Israel,... but hush, we must never go there!) with their Neocon-centric, regime-change, pro-war agenda and "Wolfowitz Doctrine". ("We have to fight them over there, so that Israel doesn't have to fight them over there.")
Rather than being some sort of "mistake", avoiding that fifth column of treasonous snakes was an essential requirement. Trump is the President, the authorized, elected, and empowered Chief Executive, now acting like the President, not some puppet of a criminal Deep State shadow dictatorship.
Pillar then veers slightly in the direction of reality, but still wide of the target:
"...the war in Syria has always been a difficult policy problem in which there are no good options..."
No. The war in Syria from the start was a wholly criminal venture, which might be "forgiven" by the ethically indifferent, if it weren't also a monumental strategic screw-up. It was an act of breathtaking incompetence, promoted by a Neocon-subverted foreign policy establishment.
"... difficult policy problem ... "? No, not at all. An easy foreign policy problem. Don't start it in the first place, or if stupidly and criminally started, shut down instantly, with extreme prejudice.
Regarding the Kurds. They're in a tough situation. They were in an extremely bad neighborhood, surrounded by all manner of powerful bad guys, and were thus faced with bad choices and worse choices, and sadly they chose the worse. They went for the money and sided with the serially-unreliable US. Now predictably, they are headed under the bus. They should have sided with Assad when they had the chance. Now they are stuck with the consequences.
Trump is President of the United States, not President of Kurdistan. Trump's job is looking out for US interests. Not Kurdish interests. And not Israeli interests. Getting the US out of this bullsh*t is exactly the right thing to do and the American people are in complete agreement. The Deep State, the DoD with their corporate war-profiteers, and the Israel-owned Congress and State Dept don't agree. Therein lies the crux of the problem, and the origin of the present war for the soul of America.
The question now is, "How far into darkness will the country have to sink before the people join together to fix the problem?"

    "Terrorism" and other manipulations

    From The Next Big Future, which I believe is Brian Wang's website/blog (I'm new at this stuff) , I find a piece entitled Terrorism is a subset of Murder http://nextbigfuture.com/2011/03/terrorism-is-subset-of-murder.html (asserting, if I get it right, that Terrorism is illegitimate by virtue of being criminal). One commenter, Gigi, responded: As I have already tried to say before, I consider any use of the word “terrorism” more or less pointless. In fact, reading much of the western media about “terrorism” there is almost nowhere any clear definition of the word “terrorism”, for the simple reason that for any kind of such definition many of the military actions taken by the West against unarmed civilians in, say, Iraq or Vietnam may well fall in this definition. Is this an action of terrorism? http://boingboing.net/2010/04/... Simply put it, if Hamas kills one Israeli civilian it is terrorism, if the US or Israel directly kill 10 or more Palestinian it is

    Origins of Covid

    Posted to the comments section of Genetic Literacy Project (and then almost immediately removed as Spam.  But then almost immediately reposted and marked as ***NOT SPAM***.) https://geneticliteracyproject.org/2021/03/25/about-bats-and-covid-why-the-wuhan-lab-leak-theory-shouldnt-be-dismissed-out-of-hand-and-other-reflections-one-year-into-the-crisis/  An aspect of this matter that has not been covered/mentioned, even by Ron Unz in his review: Twenty years ago, witnessing the rise of China with double digit GDP growth, and the rapid Neoliberal transfer of manufacturing to China, I thought to myself that the US could only recover competitiveness and the US jobs that were then being moved to China, in (***only***) one of two ways: (1) Nuke China "back to the stone age" (radical in the extreme, as well as "impractical" because of China's nuclear deterrent, and because the barbaric severity would have correspondingly severe global political implications).

    Ethics vs tribal criminality

    Israel is a geopolitical crime-in-progress. No crime has a right to exist, no criminals in the commission of a crime have the right to self-defense. They have the right to surrender to a competent authority, have the "issue" adjudicated by a fair judicial authority, and if found guilty to be subject to a proportionate penalty, and after having served their time, permitted once again to participate in lawful society. The greatest existential threat to Israel,... is Israel. I'm an American and a Jew, just not a supporter Zionist or American criminality. You, on the other hand appear to be utterly untouched by any taint of ethics outside criminal tribalism. Sad. Small detail: the Saudi oil production facilities can be destroyed with conventional explosives. Nukes not necessary.
