+1Basically the US is using the Arab Spring to remove the regimes that it doesn't like.
There are always two sides to a coin.Engdahl is just another tedious talking head. Arab activists trained in Belgrade and supported by money from Bush? Please, put this guy where he won't hurt himself.
Irina is adorable, though.
No doubt. I do not want to accept that Arabs are not intelligent enough to determine their own future.There are always two sides to a coin.
The truth is somewhere in between what he's saying and what the yanks spout.
Yes there was no french role in others but no is saying france had any role in the first place other than in libya of course. It was an excellent move by the french and nato to fool the idiots known as the rebels and the general population of the west that they were fighting for freedom lol. Its always about $$$ and strategic interests. I for one hope you pillage and loot every penny from libya because they deserve it for being idiots.No Western power even saw the Arab Spring starting in Tunisia. France did play a role in instigating the Libyan revolution but that is all.
I second that. The Libyans were utter fools in the way they succumbed to their temptations. Now France must do all it can to exploit their oil. The Libyans deserve it. However, if France can at least keep the Libyans happy by starting welfare projects and keeping the current regime under check, it will be a win-win situation for all.Yes there was no french role in others but no is saying france had any role in the first place other than in libya of course.

He didn't specifically mention India but implied that energy and economic alliance from south asia all the way to russia wasn't in western interests."Arab Spring ochastrated by the west to contain Russia, China & India"
I did not hear India being particularly mentioned. Did I miss it?
I think he played it safe, himself being unsure, given the recent exchanges of diplomatic pleasantries between India and the US.He didn't specifically mention India but implied that energy and economic alliance from south asia all the way to russia wasn't in western interests.
But the thing is that India will not bend over and act like a puppet of the west atleast until our intellectual level dwarfs to the level of the arabs.I think he played it safe, himself being unsure, given the recent exchanges of diplomatic pleasantries between India and the US.
You never know. The Libyans, frustrated by Gaddafi and his stupid acts, took help from whoever they got without bothering about the possible consequences. The same thing could happen in India, where Indians, frustrated with rampant corruption, will rally behind anyone who promises them respite. I hope you are getting my insinuation.But the thing is that India will not bend over and act like a puppet of the west atleast until our intellectual level dwarfs to the level of the arabs.
That is one of the reasons why maintaining the democratic institution and the constitution is of prime importance.
I know what you mean but some people don't see the larger game being played.You never know.

ONly France did not see it start in its former colony! Ever an irresponsible imperialist!No Western power even saw the Arab Spring starting in Tunisia. France did play a role in instigating the Libyan revolution but that is all.
In January, the Interior Ministry ordered the import of 140,000 teargas canisters from the United States at a cost of LE17 million.
Letters between Interior Ministry and Defense Ministry officials revealed that the order was made to address the country's shortage of teargas after months of violent clashes between police and protesters.
When the shipment was delayed via sea, the Defense Ministry was asked to transfer the shipment by military jet, according to a 30 January letter from Major General Osama Ismail, head of the Interior Ministry's department of information and public relations, to Staff Brigadier General Mohamed Farid Hegazy, secretary general of the Defense Ministry.
"In light of the ongoing incidents and growing need for gas bombs to deal with rioters and preserve the nation's safety, Al-Guindy Company for Imports and Exports, a representative of the US Combined System Company in Egypt, has been contracted to import 70,000 gas bombs and 70,000 long-range gas projectiles from the US to Egypt," the letter stated.
So i was right.
