I (Eric Zuesse) INCLUDE AS BEING ASSOCIATED, BUT SPECIFICALLY ABOUT ISRAEL:

Vanessa Beeley presents the view that Israel now controls “The West”; that it’s not really the U.S. empire; it is the Zionist empire (and there is more evidence of this all the time). She describes the roles that Jolani, U.S., Turkey, and Russia, play in the Israeli plan for the Middle East. Qatar is aligned with Turkey, for restoration of the Ottoman empire (now that the British empire is gone), but Sauds and the other Arab monarchs are instead aligned with Israel and they support its expansionist goals in Palestine, Lebanon and Syria; and both groups are against Palestinians, Iran, Houthis, and Hezbollah (collectively the “axis of resistance” against Israel). And Russia’s only goal in Syria is to keep its air base in Khmeimim and its naval base in Tartus; Israel wants those Russian bases to stay there, so as to restrain Turkey’s expansionist plans. Jolani is siphoning gold out to his shell accounts in Cypress, and will soon be forced by Israel to leave Syria.
I think that Beeley understands Netanyahu’s — and so “The West’s” — plan perfectly.
