Yes the left in the west has become an imperialist tool. I recall the same left wing arguments when NATO destroyed Libya. They also used the same arguments when NATO destroyed Yugoslavia. It is so sad being of the left and raised left that in the west one cannot have any reasonable discussion with any so-called lefties in the west. They have all become imperialist progressives and have nufin to do with left. I might add luv how here in the USA the use the term left to describe MSNBC or CNN . I think we r in real troubled times, intellectually, morally and economically and the establishment r trying to take it all and damming the whole world to a nuclear winter.
They talk about ASSAD as brutal dictator. In Syria free education free health care subsidized housing. Libyan’s under Qhadaffi very similar and I might add, Lybian’s had the highest standard of living in Africa. So these so-called lefties if they were to really be left of center of the political spectrum they would not be making the arguments for regime change. What has happened since 2001 and military hostilities by the west towards the rest of the world should be tried at the Hague . UN charter states no country has the rite to military hostilities toward another country.

In reply to Eurasia News Online. It is a 'free world' because the very rich and the very poor are both equally free to sleep under a bridge at night. /sarc

How on earth can one describe Russia as an empire and an imperialist state? This is plainly ridiculous. Russia’s been shrinking, not expanding, and losing vassal states and territory over the last few decades. Where exactly, precisely, is the Russian Empire supposed to be? How many overseas territories and bases do the Russians have? Christ, one could count them on the fingers of one hand and still have enough fingers left to juggle!
Is the Russian intervention in Syria not perfectly legal under international law? Is that supposed to be an example of imperialism in action?
So much of the left seems to be suffering from some kind of mental disorder, a nasty mix of stupidity and ignorance.

“With Hillary Clinton’s victory in the bag” – are you sure about that?
Amid claims of silent coup and counter-coup, this years “October Surprise” has yet to fully play out – prepare for an explosive finale.
As I understand it, the current Weinergate email scandal is being manipulated from inside Washington (not the Kremlin!)
Currently there are no allegations. The FBI is investigating Pandora’s Box – empty at the moment – but of all the worldly ills that may come out when the lid is lifted are racketeering, political cronyism, corruption, vote rigging by the DNC on the mild end of the spectrum all the way to high level espionage (by Huma Abedin) and paedophilia.
The paedophile allegation comes from Steve Pieczenik – who claims to be the face of the counter-coup. He only came on my radar this morning but his credentials are impressive – his resume could be summed up as “consummate White House insider” going back to the Ford regime. He also has experience in psyops.
Check him out – should be viral on YouTube by now.
Manufactured or not – I very much doubt this is a baseless claim.
Dedicated Right wing smear? Probably.
Nevertheless, it appears that elements within the Washington intelligence community do not want HRC as POTUS. That this is the source of the current leaks surfacing through Wikileaks was attested to by former UK ambassador Craig Murray – a much more respectable source with nothing to gain.
Whatever they have on her – when it’s let out of the box – I very much doubt that Hillary’s Hope will be left within.
It looks to me as though Crooked Hillary may spend the rest of her short life in jail after all.
Hopefully in a cell adjoining predator Bill.

In reply to archie1954. In reality many people havent the time to do wide-ranging research which is why Prof Tim Anderson wrote his fact-based book the Dirty War on Syria which is hugely sourced as one would expect from a serious academic;he rarely makes untested allegations. Its online isnt expensive and is now in German.However it remains amazing how easily some of the" Left "can fall for more of the same demonisation and misinformation yet again after Iraq and Libya,which is now openly acknowledged by the MSM as an economic basket case. Even the House of Commons Foreign Affairs Committee now recognises that there was no case for a no-fly zone in Libya and that MPs were duped by the MSM but is still seems not that many MPs have either read it or are independent enough (maybe) to admit a grave grave error in voting for it,or to concede that something similar may be being pursuedin the MSM over Syria and look again with an open mind. The whole phony ,self-serving ,predatoryagenda is being set by a small group of billionaires who now own the MSM

Yes and Paul McCartney is an impostor as the real “Macca” died in a car crash in the 1960’s and was replaced with somebody that looked a little like him, he had plastic surgery to complete the illusion and over time he became A BETTER COMPOSER than the real one!
Straight from the book of Jim “Sawdust bombs at Boston” Fetzer.
