British leader Theresa May breaks with John Kerry’s condemnation of the Jewish entity

In the final days of the Obama administration, Britain is choosing to distance itself from outgoing US Secretary of State John Kerry’s speech criticising the Jewish entity. According to the Washington Post:

“British Prime Minister Theresa May condemned a blunt speech this week by Secretary of State John F. Kerry on the state of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, an unusual move that boosted Britain’s relations with the incoming Trump administration at the expense of President Obama.”

It is highly typical of Britain to act according to its interests, without concern for its relationship with President Obama over the past 8 years, and without concern for Britain’s dislike of many of the positions that President-elect Trump has been espousing.

It was in fact Britain that worked with the Obama administration to facilitate the UN Security Council resolution against Israel’s settlement policy, as pointed out in the same article:

The transatlantic split was particularly unexpected given that May’s government acted as a key broker between U.S. and Palestinian interests ahead of a U.N. Security Council vote last week to declare Israeli settlement construction “illegal.” British diplomats worked as go-betweens in shaping the measure to ensure that the language was acceptable to the United States, Britain’s Guardian and Israel’s Haaretz Newspapers reported this week.

This is the reality of the Western powers. Their moves are fully based on their self-interest, and they are willing to abandon firm positions and long-held relationships at a moment’s notice if it suits their interests to do so.

Trump praises Putin’s decision to not retaliate against Obama’s expulsion of Russian diplomats

Just as US President-elect Donald Trump continues to praise the Jewish entity against Obama, Trump is also continuing to praise Russian President Vladimir Putin even as America is undertaking actions against Russian diplomats in the US. According to the National Post:

“President-elect Donald Trump on Friday expressed his appreciation to Vladimir Putin after the Russian president said he would not expel American diplomats in response to new U.S. sanctions over hacking as a gesture to the incoming administration.

“Great move on delay (by V. Putin),” Trump tweeted Friday afternoon. “I always knew he was very smart!”

The tweet is Trump’s latest nod to Putin, whom he has praised as a strong leader – inspiring considerable backlash from U.S. politicians from both parties who call the Russian president an authoritarian leader who poses a danger to U.S. interests.”

In fact, Obama’s limited last-minute action against Russia is more cosmetic than substantial, as with his apparent action against Israel in the UN Security Council. Both actions, in any case, in addition to being very weak gestures, can be expected to be speedily countered by Trump as soon as he is installed in office. Some Western media is even suggesting that the sanctions against Russia were undertaken to distract from the Israel issue, which became unnecessarily escalated after Trump’s intervention last week.

In fact, Obama has been continuously cooperating with Russia in Syria, most recently by providing the services of Erdogan of Turkey to facilitate removal of revolutionary groups from Aleppo. It is this that has allowed Russia and Assad to make gains in Aleppo, and not simply Russian firepower.

UN Security Council to Vote Saturday on Syria Cease-Fire

Instead of supporting the Muslim Ummah in its renaissance efforts to break free of Western imperialism, our rulers continue to slavishly observe Western interests against Muslims. Turkey’s Erdogan has now openly proved his loyalty to Western interests against Islam by openly working with Russia to support the tyrannical rule of Bashar al-Assad. According to the New York Times:

“The U.N. Security Council scheduled a vote for Saturday on a resolution that would endorse the cease-fire agreement in Syria brokered by Russia and Turkey, and reiterate support for a roadmap to peace that starts with a transitional government.”

What type of ceasefire agreement results in complete withdrawal of one side of a conflict? This is not a ceasefire agreement but a victory agreement, where the victor is to be Bashar al-Assad and the foreign Kufr powers that support him.

Why is Erdogan helping foreign powers? Doesn’t he realise that they no longer have the strength to send their own forces into Muslim lands? The Muslim Ummah has begun its renaissance, and if Ergodan had any intelligence, then even for reasons of worldly benefit he would choose to side with Muslims and not with the West. Unfortunately our rulers are not only insincere but also incapable of assessing the true strength of the Muslim Ummah at this time. The time is near, inshaAllah, when this Ummah will re-establish the righteous Khilafah "Caliphate" State (Caliphate) on the method of Prophethood.
