Artsakh The Inadequate Response

In an FB post titled “Southern Lebanon Will Never Become Part Of Greater Israel" , I pointed out that, one more time Tsahal will fail in its mission to maintain a long-term presence in a land it annexed in the name of creating a “Security Zone” that neatly coincides with the Israeli government’s political agenda of creating “Eretz Israel/Greater Israel.” At the end of my article I conveyed to readers with absolute confidence the fact that “Hezbollah will not wait 16 years to snatch the control of Southern Lebanon from the hands of Tsahal. I can guarantee you the invader will be pushed back to the internationally recognized border in a much shorter period of time, that will not exceed three years.” Less than 24 hours after publishing my FB article, many alarming messages about the inability of Tsahal/IDF to maintain the war tempo surfaced in the Israeli media, and a list of concerns expressed by the army’s top brass and opposition figures, made it clear that a collapse of the IDF i...

On March 18 , the Office of the Director of National Intelligence (ODNI) released the U.S. intelligence community's “2026 Annual Threat Assessment ”, highlighting in a 33-page document what it views as the most significant national security threats (Domestic, International) facing the United States in 2026. A key role in the preparation of the document was assigned to The CIA, and a full page ( p 27) was devoted to the “Peace” process currently pursued by the government of PM Pashinyan with Azerbaijan’s Supreme Leader, Petro-Dictator Ilham Aliyev.

T he leadership of The U.S. relies heavily on daily CIA briefings to shape critical decisions, supposedly for the collective well-being ...

Trump’s “War of Choice” targeting Iran moved into week three. The U.S. President boastfully declared on day two of the war: “We won the war, in the first hour, it was over.” No one in The U.S. Administration managed to explain why the “Victory” achieved very quickly during the early stages of the war, failed to produce a total cessation of military confrontations between the two aggressors (Israel, USA) and the victim of the aggression Iran.  To defend the narrative/lie that he won the war, Trump produced a set of new lies to justify the shallow claims he conveyed to the public, and directed his anger to the independent media outlets that dared to humiliate him by debunking the baseless dimensions of his bravado.  To his MAGA followers trumps insisted that many news outlets are promoting “Fake News” because the “Media actually want us to lose the War.” To caress the big ego of his boss, The chair of the US Federal Communications Commission (FCC), Mr. Brendan Carr, threatened ...
