The Ignorant Neocon Commentator, Mehdi Hassan
31 October 2024, by Eric Zuesse. (All of my recent articles can be seen here.)
Like all neocons (supporters of expanding the U.S. empire to include all countries), the popular mainstream so-called ‘progressive’ media commentator Mehdi Hassan supports the — and click here to see the documentation of what’s being said in the remainder of this paragraph — bloody coup against Ukraine that U.S. President Barack Obama’s Administration started to plan by no later than June of 2010 and started to implement inside the U.S. Embassy in Kiev on 1 March 2013, and then finally culminated by the coup itself during 20-26 February 2014 overthrowing and replacing the existing democratically elected neutralist President of Ukraine, and illegally replacing him by the U.S.-selected new and rabidly anti-Russian regime which promptly started the civil war in Ukraine against the residents in the regions of Ukraine that had voted more than 75% for that democratically elected neutralist Ukrainian President, aiming to eliminate enough of these voters so as to assure that in future Ukrainian elections, ONLY anti-Russians would be voting.
Here is from a recent interview of Hassan on Turkey’s TRT TV; where Hassan speaks falsely, I add links there to the evidence which shows that he DOES speak falsely on that point:

INTERVIEWER: Former UK Foreign Secretary Lord Owen did an
12:19
interview with Al Jazeera very recently
12:21
saying that if Trump becomes president
12:24
there's quite likely to be a deal in
12:26
Ukraine, so there'll be there'll be an
12:29
end to the war. Maybe they'll give Russia a
12:31
sliver of Ukraine or maybe even a third
12:33
of Ukraine and there'll be a ceasefire
12:34
and an end to the war, and in that sense,
12:37
um, appealing to the idea that Trump is
12:40
always looking to cut a deal, that's very
12:42
different to what you were saying about,
12:43
say, you know Bush, trying to remodel the
12:45
Middle East, uh, with his ideological, uh,
12:48
if you like Crusade, um, in quotation
12:51
marks, this idea that Trump might not be
12:55
the maniac or the monster that you
12:57
imagine. Yeah sure he's a narcissist but
12:59
he also would love to take the credit
13:02
for making a deal, and why wouldn't he
13:05
when it comes to Israel and Palestine as
13:07
well? HASSAN: Yeah, so let's just talk about
13:10
Ukraine very briefly. I'm in favor of a
13:12
negotiated end to the Ukraine war
13:14
because I don't believe that either side
13:15
can win. Having said that, I do support
13:18
the people of Ukraine against an illegal
13:19
Invader and occupier. I try and be morally
13:21
consistent: I support Palestinians under
13:23
occupation; I support Ukrainians under
13:25
illegal occupation, and I think, uh, too
13:27
many people have given Putin a pass on
13:29
this. I don't think Donald Trump should
13:30
be the man overseeing a deal because it
13:32
will be a deal that is pro Putin.

None of the U.S.-and-allied ‘news’-media will likely publish it (nor link to it, since doing that might also hurt them with Google or etc.). I am not asking for money, but I am asking my readers to spread my articles far and wide, because I specialize in documenting what the Deep State is constantly hiding. This is, in fact, today’s samizdat.

Investigative historian Eric Zuesse’s latest book, AMERICA’S EMPIRE OF EVIL: Hitler’s Posthumous Victory, and Why the Social Sciences Need to Change, is about how America took over the world after World War II in order to enslave it to U.S.-and-allied billionaires. Their cartels extract the world’s wealth by control of not only their ‘news’ media but the social ‘sciences’ — duping the public.
