Azerbaijan continues in its role as an energy supplier to the
West and a staging ground and a clandestine base for Western and Israeli
operations... especially against Iran. Baku serves largely as a facilitator for
Western intelligence agencies.
Sometimes reckoned as almost an annex of Turkey, Azerbaijan
has in recent years taken over a role that Ankara under Erdogan has cast into
some doubt. Aliyev, the authoritarian leader of Azerbaijan is granted
diplomatic and military protection. His corrupt government would otherwise fall
under great scrutiny if he were on the opposite side of the spectrum. Were he
to ally with Russia, the US would certainly be making trouble for him and in
the rough neighbourhood of the Caucasus it wouldn't be hard to do.
Some in the West will attempt to paint this story as a tale
of 'bad' regimes like Saudis and UAE involved in all sorts of dirty deals. The
truth is they are involved in 'some' independent ventures but the bulk of what
they're doing is in collaboration with Western intelligence agencies but
especially the United States. This is further bolstered by the logistical and
diplomatic support granted by Washington and the fact that the other countries
involved are nations like Bulgaria and Ukraine. This has US fingerprints all
over it. Working through these proxies, the CIA and BND can claim plausible
deniability and put some distance between themselves and these operations.
Additionally never forget there are a bunch of people getting
rich of these transfers and weapons sales.
While the Western media continues to spin lies about Assad
and chemical weapons an even casual observer of international media will know
there's more to the Syrian Civil War and the story of ISIS than is commonly
told. The Israelis have continued to back ISIS and this is part of a larger
alliance and strategy with Riyadh... just don't say that too loud. Everyone
knows about it, but it's not to be spoken of. Yes, the Zionist state and the
guardians of Mecca, the claimants to the Caliphate are in collusion.
The notion that the US isn't 'in' on this is to be honest...
beyond absurd.
Of course if the story gains traction, the fact these weapons
via Bulgaria and Azerbaijan ended up in ISIS hands will simply be put down as
an unfortunate 'development', a 'mistake'... rather than a deliberate policy,
even though this has been happening for several years and virtually everyone
(except the Mainstream Media) knows it.
That this journalist was questioned by Bulgarian intelligence
and then fired is also interesting.
The Mina Report article is probably correct in stating that
the reason Al Jazeera has gone with the story is due to the current
Saudi-Qatari diplomatic row and that the Doha based news agency is doing all it
can to highlight Saudi complicity in terrorism. Qatar is also guilty, of course
also while working (at times) alongside US interests. The funny (or not so
funny) part of the story is whether you're pointing at Doha or Riyadh, both
roads lead back to Washington. The United States is 'the' terrorist state par excellence.
The fact that this story also points to a larger African tale
involving Burkina Faso and Congo is also noteworthy and only hints at a larger
project the US has been involved with in Africa over the past decade.
Just earlier this summer I posted an article about Ukrainian
weapons making their way to South Sudan:
