Kerrys Plan B For Syria Equals Brookings, Brzezinski Plan ABy Brandon Turbeville Despite the lack of enthusiasm in his presentation, Kerry went through the motions of Congressional testimony when an agreement has already been made and a public show is required for mass consumption. What was telling about his testimony, however, is Kerrys allusion to a mysterious Plan B if the ceasefire agreement does not work. There is a significant discussion taking place now about a Plan B in the event that we do not succeed at the [negotiating] table, Kerry said. But he did not go into specifics as to exactly what that Plan B would look like. That is, except for a slight comment suggesting that the U.S. may have to shift its policy from the total destruction of the Assad government and Syria as a whole to almost total destruction of the country in the form of partitioning and dividing the country into separate principalities. To this end, Kerry only stated that it could be too late to keep as a whole Syria if we wait much longer. Yet Kerrys Plan B sounds very much like the Plan A of a number of other strategists, policy makers, and imperialist organs. Consider the op-ed published by Reuters and written by Michael OHanlon, entitled Syrias One Hope May Be As Dim As Bosnias Once Was. The article argues essentially that the only way Russia and the United States will ever be able to peacefully settle the Syrian crisis is if the two agree to a weakened and divided Syria, broken up into separate pieces. OHanlon wrote, To find common purpose with Russia, Washington should keep in mind the Bosnia model, devised to end the fierce Balkan conflicts in the 1990s. In that 1995 agreement, a weak central government was set up to oversee three largely autonomous zones. In similar fashion, a future Syria could be a confederation of several sectors: one largely Alawite (Assads own sect), spread along the Mediterranean coast; another Kurdish, along the north and northeast corridors near the Turkish border; a third primarily Druse, in the southwest; a fourth largely made up of Sunni Muslims; and then a central zone of intermixed groups in the countrys main population belt from Damascus to Aleppo. The last zone would likely be difficult to stabilize, but the others might not be so tough. Under such an arrangement, Assad would ultimately have to step down from power in Damascus. As a compromise, however, he could perhaps remain leader of the Alawite sector. A weak central government would replace him. But most of the power, as well as most of the armed forces. would reside within the individual autonomous sectors and belong to the various regional governments. In this way, ISIL could be targeted collectively by all the sectors. Once this sort of deal is reached, international peacekeepers would likely be needed to hold it together as in Bosnia. Russian troops could help with this mission, stationed, for example, along the Alawite regions borders. This deal is not, of course, ripe for negotiation. To make it plausible, moderate forces must first be strengthened. The West also needs to greatly expand its training and arming of various opposition forces that do not include ISIL or al-Nusra. Vetting standards might also have to be relaxed in various ways. American and other foreign trainers would need to deploy inside Syria, where the would-be recruits actually live and must stay, if they are to protect their families. Meanwhile, regions now accessible to international forces, starting perhaps with the Kurdish and Druse sectors, could begin receiving humanitarian relief on a much expanded scale. Over time, the number of accessible regions would grow, as moderate opposition forces are strengthened. Though it could take many months, or even years, to achieve the outcome Washington wants, setting out the goals and the strategy now is crucial. Doing so could provide a basis for the Wests working together with or at least not working against other key outside players in the conflict, including Russia, as well as Turkey, the Gulf states and Iraq. OHanlon is no stranger to the Partition Plan for Syria. After all, he was the author the infamous Brookings Institution report Deconstructing Syria: A New Strategy For Americas Most Hopeless War, in June, 2015 where he argued essentially the same thing. In this article for Brookings, a corporate-financier funded think tank that has been instrumental in the promotion of the war against Syria since very early on, OHanlon argued for the relaxation of vetting processes for rebels being funded by the U.S. government, the direct invasion of Syria by NATO military forces, and the complete destruction of the Syrian government. OHanlon argued for the creation of safe zones as a prelude to these goals. Yet, notably, OHanlon also mentioned the creation of a confederal Syria as well. In other words, the breakup of the solidified nation as it currently exists. He wrote, The end-game for these zones would not have to be determined in advance. The interim goal might be a confederal Syria, with several highly autonomous zones and a modest (eventual) national government. The confederation would likely require support from an international peacekeeping force, if this arrangement could ever be formalized by accord. But in the short term, the ambitions would be lowerto make these zones defensible and governable, to help provide relief for populations within them, and to train and equip more recruits so that the zones could be stabilized and then gradually expanded. Such a plan is reminiscent of theZbigniew Brzezinski method of microstates and ministates. In other words, the construction of a weak, impotent state based upon ethnicity, religion, and other identity politics but without the ability to resist the will of larger nations, coalitions, and banking/industrial corporations.[1] Thus, it appears that Kerrys Plan B is, in actuality, Plan A for a number of powerful geopolitical strategists from Brzezinski himself to worker bees at the Brookings Institution. While Syria is gaining ground by the day against the Western-backed proxy terrorists who have run rampant across the country since 2011, the West is clearly not giving up on its plan to eliminate a geopolitical obstacle on its way to establishing world hegemony.

This whole Syria debacle was created by the US for American ulterior purposes, none of which has anything even remotely associated with benefits to the Syrian people! Agreed. Its simply being done to keep the money rolling. Without it, the economy collapses and the politicians get the blame for good. The only way out is war and it helps the politicians point the finger somewhere else so the sheople will leave them in office. Just three words: The Yinon Plan its not to the benefit of the US, its what Israel wants. The Greater Israel plan. So much confusion caused by thinking the US follows its own benefit the US is totally controlled by by the parasite that has attached itself and is simultaneously achieving its own objectives and destroying America. You mean destroying the world Yes. Its the New (or Greater) Middle East project, a NWO regional govt you can find the original maps online. It made the cover of The Atlantic about 8 years ago. The same NWO cabal is destroying the US as a nation state, creating the North American regional government, thats what NAFTA and now the SPP have been working towards. Last summer, TPTB floated a meme of fracturing the United States in a Wall Street Journal column. Also last year, the Rothschild owned Economist published an article on the inevitable fracturing of Russia. All nation states are in the cross hairs, TPTBs are working to dismantle sovereignty one way or another. You mean USrael ? John Kerry, a.k.a. Hanoi Jane Fondas buddy and anti Vietnam whiner, is an IDIOT. His US Navy officer rank was sullied with his commie loving acts. His Heinz wife was the widow of a RINO Pol, the she marries Kerry, a DINO Pol. I just cant fathom why anyone takes any notice of the US especially Russia or any of the ME countries [ Not including SA / Q / Jordan }The world has grown tired of the US / Israel / NATO brand of evilness but dont have the balls to tell them so . Our governments [ Australia ] is a sad example of gutlessness and servility to an evil empire that the US has become I agree! Aussie here Well written although I would call it Israeli hegemony, for that would be the outcome.
