Potato Potahto, Tomato Tomahto – Let’s call the whole thing off

This comment was chosen by Mod KL from the post “Week twenty-one of the Russian military intervention in Syria: the calm before the storm?” The moderator believes this comment reflects on the assumption the Turks and Saudis are proxies for Necon Zionists. The US presidiential race is one aspect of  the struggles within the Anglos and Zionists. The summary is that whether Anglo or Zionist they both have the same fundamental goal – for human kind to be dead or enslaved not free.
