Finian Cunningham — Strategic Review Dec 15, 2022
Senator Richard Black pictured with Syrian President Assad in 2016
Richard Black is a former Senator for Virginia state and a former top Pentagon insider. He explains in this interview with Finian Cunningham how the current war in Ukraine is a proxy war against Russia led by the United States and how that conflict is motivated in part by a desire in Washington for revenge. The impetus for revenge stems from Russia’s military intervention in Syria at the end of 2015 where, crucially, the Russian military thwarted Washington’s covert war for regime change in Damascus.
US troops are still illegally occupying parts of Syria – up to a third of its territory – but the defeat of America and NATO’s regime-change plan in Syria by Russia was an unforgivable setback for US imperial ambitions in the Middle East. Hence the determination of the US to make Russia pay through a war of attrition in Ukraine – right on Russia’s doorstep.
Senator Black visited Syria’s battle zones during the 10-year war in that country that erupted in early 2011. He has been outspoken in condemning Washington’s dirty war. He describes in detail how the war in Syria was prosecuted by the US supporting Al Qaeda-affiliated terrorists to overthrow the Syrian government. That American plot failed because of an intervention ordered by Russian President Vladimir Putin to defend the allied Syrian government.
The war in Ukraine is therefore not due to “Russian aggression”, as the Western media would portray, but rather it is part of an ongoing geopolitical confrontation between the US and Russia. This is the bigger context that is needed for an understanding of the causes of conflict and how peaceful resolution can be achieved.
Black also contends that Ukraine is being used as cannon fodder by the United States in its proxy war against Russia. The Ukrainian casualties are not sustainable. He estimates that Ukrainian military losses are 30 times what the US incurred during the Vietnam War. The Western mainstream media are downplaying the monstrous losses, promoting the notion that the NATO-armed Ukrainians are “winning”. A political solution to the Ukraine war needs to be found urgently to end the killing and also to stop what is a reckless escalatory war that could lead to nuclear catastrophe for the planet. But a major impediment is the schizoid nature of the US deep state. There are warmongering elements in Washington who are prepared to continue pushing the war toward catastrophic escalation. Against this warmongering faction are realists who realize that a diplomatic solution must be found to avert an all-out Third World War. This internal US power struggle would account for the mixed signals of, on the one hand, war escalation against Russia, and then, on the other hand, incipient calls for a peace deal. A hugely consequential question is: which Washington faction will prevail?

Richard Black’s is probably the best account we have had of Aleppo re Russia. He had just begun his account of what is actually happening in the Ukraine when ‘technical difficulties’ cut him off. Fortunately, that was not before he made the point that the lamestream media’s ‘Ukraine is winning’ garbage is just that. In fact, the carnage in Ukraine has been hideous: military losses are 161 times greater in the Ukrainian military than the entire American losses were in Vietnam.
It is a reasonable guess that the Ukrainian army, having sustained such losses, has effectively ceased to exist.
We are told by Russia that the Mozart Group is fighting in the Donetsk, but has retreated in face of the Russian advance in Bakhmut, and is preparing to pull out of there.
But the Mozart Group insists that it is not a fighting force. Its personnel are ex-military men who are in Ukraine to give military advice, and humanitarian aid, like the evacuation of citizens:

Who, then, is fighting the Russian military in Bakhmut, and will be fighting it elsewhere? Are they all private armies now, or NATO?
This has NOTHING to do with Syria!
Syria is not a cause, but an effect collateral to the monolithic obsession with liquidating any challenge to the U.S. dollar (beginning in 1913)…
The U.S. is OCD-like sausage-making—-an organ-grinder getting his monkey to dance…
The rest of the world is the monkey—-a little bit under the “covid-weather”, a climate-change cloud that has NO silver-lining.
logics implies that if al-Qaida/isis is constructed and funded by elites in the state department, the 911 atrocity is made in America, a better description is an inside job by evil Americans. they are at large wrecking havoc in the world since 911.
No, More US disinformation and deflection. It is not “revenge” nor was it an “intervention”. Russia was long allied with Syria. The US-UK-Israeli-Rothschild war against Syria is ongoing, and a clear objective of that same Axis has been to provoke Russia into invading the Ukraine and escalating hostilities and likely some false flag event where it will just seem incidental for the Axis forces to take over the rest of Syria. There is nothing which comes out of that nation which is not a g.d. lie.
The beginning of the end was the entry of Hezbollah and the subsequent destruction of John McCIA’s Syrian moderate terrorist rebel army.
Facts: Russia entered Syrian conflict after 3 years since the start of the conflict and only with Air Power and that was after Qassem Suleimani convinced Putin and Russian Generals that this is a viable path to take. Note that Russia like many others believed that Bashar Al Assad was finished and a lost cause; Russia even tried to approach FSA (Free Syrian Army) to secure its post-Assad interests in Syria. The first three years of conflict it was Shia coalition forces on the ground helping Syrian Army against ISIS. Russia’s main involvement with Air power was instrumental however in defeat of ISIS. This means It was Shia coalition led by Iran that saved Bashar Al Assad on the ground for the first 3 years onward. Today the Joker mob are released around the world, despite having seen the ISIS zombies, some Syrians and Iraqis are still becoming Jokers!
Now you have heard about many countries Iran has been supporting; you may even have heard of Iran’s instrumental help in Bosnia and Herzegovina, but these ones you may not know:
US supported Tamil Tigers VS Iran supported government of Sri Lanka (finished)
US/Zion/France support Morocco government VS Iran supports Polisario Front rebels (ongoing)
US supported a revolution in Venezuela VS Iran supported government of Venezuela (finished)
US/Zion support Ethiopian rebels VS Iran support Ethiopian government (ongoing)
Yeah add to the list these recent countries supported by Iran: Russia, Tajikistan, Armenia…
So we’re talking about a very weak country under “maximum pressure” and with apparently ruined economy (14th GDP in 2022!!) that has been about to collapse every year for over 40 years that somehow is still surviving… that also has been all over the world with highly effective influence!
How do we explain this contradiction? One answer, Mass Media Smokescreen!
When they have completely raided the treasury, of the USA, and there is no more money, Feb 2023,
then you will know the truth, that all that money is going to Russia and China who are in cahoots with Ukraine; and they will use that money to surprise attack the USA; which will be unable to fight back.
It is the jews, using Freemasonry, running the USA to ruin.
They Hate America, they hate any gentiles on earth being free.
Under the total domination and control, of sadistic jews, America will become HELL on earth.
Just like they did in Russia and China and the Middle East.
There will be billions slaughtered in america and all over the world by them.
When they infiltrated the Russian People’s communist revolution, they kept the name “Communist”. The truer name is “Hell on earth: where all gentiles will be totally controlled and enslaved under the jews”.
They will make themselves the “Master Race”and in their penchant for sadism right out of the Inquisition which only happened when Marrano Jews, became Popes.
They will replace all the gentile Freemasons running America with themselves, the jews as GODS.
They will demand you worship them as the “Master Race” and accept their Science and technology as their God-like powers.
Then it only gets worse, until Hell itself comes to earth to cleanse it of all evil.
When they are all gone, it will be Heaven on earth.
THIS IS STATED WRONG –> “The impetus for revenge stems from Russia’s military intervention in Syria at the end of 2015 where, crucially, the Russian military thwarted Washington’s covert war for regime change in Damascus.”
It’s revenge by the Jews on Russia because Putin squashed their dream of Greater Israel, from the Nile to the Euphrates. Remember the 7 countries in 5 years after 911?
I blogged on the Russia intervention in Syria, myself and others said Putin was the new Caesar for interfering with THE JEWS and their plan for GREATER ISRAEL.
Yes, it may be revenge for Putin squashing Israel’s attempt to take the northern Levant for their Eratz Israel project. Washington is a ZOG WHORE, so the whore is being told to f-ck with Russia in Ukraine. Jews control the Babylon Whore Amerika, and they will sacrifice Amerika in a nuclear war with Russia just to get their vengeance/
