The Wall Street Journal (WSJ) cited unnamed US officials on Thursday to report that Wagner is allegedly planning to send an air defense system to Hezbollah. If true, then it would represent Russia’s indirect involvement in the latest Israeli-Hamas war on the Iranian-led Axis of Resistance’s side. For as much as many in the Alt-Media Community (AMC) and Mainstream Media (MSM) want to believe this, each for polar opposite ideological reasons, it’s arguably a psy-op as will be explained below:
———-
- Russia Strictly Adheres To A Policy Of Principled Neutrality Towards This Conflict
Russia has invested considerable effort into defending its policy of principled neutrality towards this conflict, which readers can learn more about in this analysis here that reviews Lavrov’s latest interview where he elaborated on his country’s approach. It would therefore be an inexplicable break from precedent as confirmed by those official sources cited in the preceding piece for Russia to all of a sudden voluntarily involve itself in this conflict that it’s thus far done its best to avoid getting dragged into.
- It Would Make More Sense For Iran To Dispatch Analogues Systems To Its Allies
Iran has developed analogous systems to the one that the WSJ claimed might soon be sent to Hezbollah by Wagner, yet their report doesn’t account for why the Islamic Republic won’t dispatch them to its allies for battlefield testing, nor why Hezbollah supposedly seeks Russian systems instead. These two unaddressed questions make one wonder whether that report’s actual aim is to sow distrust between Russia-Iran and Iran-Hezbollah as part of a creative divide-and-rule information warfare provocation.
- The US Has Been Trying To Turn Russia & Israel Against One Another All Month
The last reason to be skeptical of this report is that the US has tried to turn Russia and Israel against one another all month. To that end, one of its partially government-funded think tanks falsely suggested that the first is allied with Hamas while Senate Minority Leader McConnell claimed that Russia is in an “axis of evil” alongside Iran and its regional allies. The latest report pressures Israel to break ties with Russia and/or launch preemptive strikes against its assets in Syria, both of which advance US interests.
———-
From the above, it can be concluded that the WSJ’s report about Wagner and Hezbollah is indeed a psy-op that aims to: 1) discredit Russia’s neutral stance towards the conflict; 2) divide Russia-Iran and Iran-Hezbollah; and 3) divide Russia-Israel, all to the US’ hegemonic benefit. The MSM and its supporters have self-explanatory reasons for lending false credence to this information warfare provocation, but the AMC should be made aware of what’s going on and then stop functioning as their “useful idiots”.
