❗️Ireland to formally intervene in South Africa’s genocide case against Israel at ICJ

“By legally intervening in South Africa’s case, Ireland will be asking the ICJ to broaden its interpretation of what constitutes the commission of genocide by a State,” Irish Deputy PM Micheál Martin said.

“We are concerned that a very narrow interpretation of what constitutes genocide leads to a culture of impunity in which the protection of civilians is minimised.”

🇷🇺 A new loan to Kiev using revenues from frozen Russian assets is plain robbery, the Russian Foreign Ministry stated.

The theft of assets will backfire on the U.S. and its satellites, destabilizing an already fading rules-based world order.

🇺🇸 Robert Kennedy Jr. aims to prove the CIA's involvement in the assassination of his uncle, U.S. President John F. Kennedy.

To achieve this, he proposed his daughter-in-law, Amaryllis Fox Kennedy, for the position of CIA Deputy Director, Axios reports, citing sources.

The outlet notes that Trump feels indebted to RFK Jr., whom he nominated for Secretary of Health, for his support during the election and is eager to accommodate him.

However, a behind-the-scenes debate is unfolding over whether Fox Kennedy is the right choice for the CIA's No. 2 position.

🇷🇺🇸🇾 A column of Russian forces was filmed by militants on one of the roads in Syria.

Given that the bases in Tartus and Khmeimim remain under Russian control, this column appears to be repositioning, or the Russians are continuing their patrols.

Silver Linings in Syria for Russia?

The west and the Ukrainians are celebrating what they consider to be a major defeat of Russia in Syria.

Certainly at some levels there is no question that it is a defeat. An ally has fallen. And another ally (Iran) has been weakened. A third ally (China) has perhaps shown itself (once again) to have little interest in geopolitics, if there is no economic gain.

As well, the question of the Russian bases is still up in the air. HTS has stated that they are not opposed to Russia continuing there and Turkey would likely acquiesce as well. Time will tell.

But there are several silver linings for Russia, we might call them. Or rather, important lessons that will be invaluable going forward.

First and foremost. We never tire of repeating the old adage that Russia has only two allies, its army and its navy. Syria brings that home in spades.

Second. Again, we never tire of repeating that the war will be long. The American empire may struggle to produce artillery shells at scale or hypersonic missiles. But it has many other resources it can call upon. Jihadists, including Russian speakers we might add, are one of those resources. And they are not shy about using these resources, even if it means devastating entire countries or regions (see Vietnam, Afghanistan, Libya, etc.) or killing millions. Slave markets in the 21st century? Collateral damage, but all for a good cause! Some in Russia, and amongst its supporters in the west, still have not understood the global and long term nature of the fight. Hopefully some have taken notice now.

Third. International accords are only as good as the force backing them up and the west will NEVER feel obligated to honour any deal they have signed if it is to their advantage to break it. Even in the purely hypothetical case that an honourable man became American President and signed an agreement he truly believed in and wanted to respect, whoever followed would feel no obligation whatsoever to continue honouring the agreement. Such is America politics. As long as it was based basically on trust, Astana was meaningless. And obviously here the lesson is that any negotiated end in Ukraine that is based on trust, would also be meaningless.

(As a corollary to the previous we might add that it must be assumed that Erdogan will ALWAYS stab you in the back, likely sooner rather than later.)

Fourth. Defending Syria has been costly, in terms of the lives of Russian soldiers, in terms of hardware, in terms of diplomatic effort, and of course financially - a black hole which provided little gain beyond the military bases. We understand that honour and history dictated trying to maintain the Assad regime, but now that it is over, we can say that an end to the black hole is not necessarily such a bad thing.

Fifth, and following on from the previous point. In realpolitik terms, honour is seen as weakness by some, especially in the west. And in the short term that is almost certainly true. But one of our strengths must be to provide a counterpoint to the perfidiousness of the west and to its lack of loyalty to its supposed allies. Syria fell, but as long as Syrians were willing to defend Syria, Russia stood by her. Our friends, in the Sahel for example, will have noticed.

And perhaps the final lesson is seeing, once again, that the Americans do not understand Russia. They seem to think that the recent events in Syria bring Russia closer to the negotiations table and in a weaker position.
