    Don’t you wonder how a completely insignificant country like Israel could hold its own against enemies on all its borders? How did they manage to rise to such military prominence?

    The answer is support from oligarchs. And these oligarchs—regardless of their nationality—share the same interests. They have dominated countries like Russia and even the U.S. for decades. I think it’s a mistake to still think in terms of the Cold War—Russia isn’t a communist country, but an oligarchy just like the U.S.

    Israel is also an oligarchy today. This country no longer has the slightest connection to democracy—and that is no coincidence.

      All of which have become enemies due to the actions of Israel and its Western backers.

      Mustn’t forget that crucial detail, lest we accidentally help spread their Hasbara gaslighting talking points.
