Hezbollah, Hamas, Iran: How US empire creates its own enemies w/Eljiah Magnier & Matteo Capasso

29 днів тому

Editor's note: This podcast was recorded on March 19, 2024.
Each day brings fresh horrors from the ground in Gaza as Israel's brutal genocide continues with the full backing of the US. Yet Israel is not operating with complete impunity.
From the Houthis' humanitarian blockade of the Red Sea to Hezbollah's missile strikes against Israel itself, the unofficial alliance of states and armed organizations known as the Resistance Axis is imposing consequences on Israel and the US. The result is a low-grade regional war, that for months has featured Israel and the US conducting increasingly brazen air strikes from Yemen to Lebanon and Syria.
Most recently, Israel bombed the Iranian embassy in Damascus on April 1, killing seven military advisors, including Brigadier Generals Mohammad Reza Zahedi, and his deputy Mohamad Hadi Haji Rahimi. Iran has vowed to retaliate. As the spiral of escalation and deterrence continues, the question arises of just how much longer the two sides can trade blows until a full-blown regional war erupts.
Veteran war journalist Elijah Magnier and Middle East Critique Editor Matteo Capasso join The Real News for a timely discussion on the historical roots of the Resistance Axis, and how the confrontation taking place could reshape regional and global politics. Corporate media has flooded the US public with a one-dimensional narrative of the Resistance Axis, leaving out a crucial detail-how decades of US and Israeli intervention and destruction birthed the Resistance Axis. Drawing on their deep expertise, Magnier and Capasso reframe the current confrontation in light of the region's history, and its future.

Some great one-liners in there such as …worry about your own democracy- don’t bring it to us or Israel doesn’t act from military strategy it operates from military impunity and when your election choices are a senile man and a clown somethings wrong lol

Brilliant analyses by Elijah and Matteo. I am happy to hear these conversations in the western independent outlets. We, in the Global South, who are mostly poco nations, have always understood what’s at the core of all these playing out. Look at West Asia, North Africa, and Africa at large, where the colonial and imperial projects are most boldly playing out. In other spaces in the global south either the American led western hegemony have client states with their puppets in power or they are facing another kind of resistance win the economic spaces, BRICS perhaps is one the symptoms of such resistances. Thanks you again TRNN!

Each and every colony, had one thing is common. During the colonal rule the coloniser always had a very cozy relationship with the religious leaders, kings, monarchs land lords, via which the entire population automatically under their control.a very privileged community/class was intact till the the colonies gained independence .The previledged class were sponsored to study in the colonisers universities, while the masses remained under educated. Thus, at present that very same previledged class is hand in glove with the latest version of imperialism., most of the independent nation still function in a fuedal system in one way or the other.. after all the colonisers ventured out in the name of helping civilising the savages. It was and still is about the natural resources and trade routes, and to maintain the economic hegemony
