Addressing the Collective Security Treaty Organization (CSTO) heads of state at Dushanbe on Tuesday, Russian President Vladimir Putin said Moscow will keep providing military-technical support to Damascus to counter the growing threat of ISIS which has spilled across the region, Tass reported.

“I would like to say that we support the Syrian government in [the] fight against terrorist aggression, we assist it and will keep rendering necessary military-technical assistance to it,” he said, urging other countries to join the fight. “It is evident that without an active participation of the Syrian authorities and military, without participation of the Syrian army inside the territory, as the military say, in [a] fight against Islamic State, terrorists cannot be expelled from that country and from the region on the whole, the multi-national and multi-confessional Syrian people cannot be protected against destruction, enslavement and barbarity,” he added. He also said these terrorists plunge people into chaos and poverty, Tass reported.

The Russian President also pointed out that the Islamic State’s threat has gone beyond Iraq and Syria.

“Islamic State (IS) terrorists have already announced their plans to attack the holy cities of Mecca, Medina, and Jerusalem,” he said. He pointed out that the jihadists also plan to spread their activities to Europe, Russia, central and southeastern Asia, Tass reported.

In addition, the situation in Afghanistan is degrading as the influence of the IS in that country has spread, he noted. “The scale of that organization’s activity has gone far beyond the bounds of Iraq and Syria,” Putin said. Taking a jab at the US- and NATO-comprised International Security Assistance Forces’ inaction against narcotic drugs production, he said: “You all know the way this threat is growing” in Afghanistan and Central Asia. 

There is a reason that Lyndon LaRouche began his weekly broadcast discussion with the LaRouche PAC Policy Committee on Sept. 14, with a sharp polemic on the way people generally think. “The first thing I would do,” he stated from the outset, “is say that people who are picking out facts as such, about what is happening internationally, are just fooling themselves. The process is a process, and you cannot understand the process in terms of details. So details are wrong.”

And if you think wrong, you will fail to understand what is actually happening in the world, and you will certainly fail to act in the proper fashion to shape and direct that process. “The problem here is that Bertrand Russell introduced a corruption, which is called ‘the facts,’ ” LaRouche stated.

“Putin moved with China to set up a dynamic process internationally,” LaRouche said. “This was responded to by Germany. And, in that context, Germany changed its policy to tie itself to cooperation with our economy here, and also in Germany…. They recognized that the whole system they’d been operating on is finished.” Top circles in Germany also put their foot down against the trajectory towards thermonuclear war which Obama’s provocations against Russia and China were creating.

“What does it mean? It means that Obama’s in deep trouble, for one thing, and that’s as it should be.” LaRouche continued: This global sea-change “is hitting the United States on the head right now. Because Wall Street is not merely something which is doomed; it’s more than doomed!”

As a result of that global process, there is now near-universal recognition, both in the United States and internationally, that Obama’s entire Southwest Asia policy has led to a total catastrophe, including the spread of endless wars in the region and the plight of millions upon millions of refugees that they have produced. And it is now also an open secret that the discredited Obama doesn’t have the foggiest idea of how to respond to Russian President Putin’s international initiatives to defeat ISIS; stop the wars in the Middle East, and bring the refugee crisis under control.

Lyndon LaRouche does.

First, remove Obama from office with the 25th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution. (An immediate corollary would be to release the 28 pages, which would have the salutary effect of removing the British-run Saudi Kingdom from the international terrorism equation altogether.)

Second, take Russian President Putin up on his offer to establish an international coalition—including the sovereign governments of the region—to combat ISIS and other terrorist expressions, putting an end to the wars which have ravaged the region.

Third, join with China, Russia, and the other BRICS nations in unleashing a full-set development revolution globally, built around the international application of FDR’s Glass-Steagall, the establishment of a Hamiltonian credit policy, and the World Land-Bridge perspective which Lyndon and Helga LaRouche have pioneered for decades.

Among its other salutary effects, that policy will cause Bertrand Russell to roll over in his grave.
