Your well-researched and argued piece serves as a reminder how duplicitous the West and their allies (such as Israel) have been in their grab for power and dominance. Like the reverse of your "Whack-a-Mole" game, each time the lies and deceptions have been unmasked, another clever liar invents another way to work around justice, the law and common decency. As I have said elsewhere, until America is freed from the delusional shackles of "Exceptionalism", US control and hegemony will exist unabated until a very nasty ending, one which nobody sane would want... WWIII.
