Interview with Thierry Meyssan
Voltairenet
20 th April, 2012
Dans une interview accordée à nos confrères suisses de Mecanopolis que nous reproduisons dans nos colonnes, Thierry Meyssan revient sur l’offensive internationale contre la Syrie, la situation dramatique de la Libye et la campagne électorale en France. Comme un symbole, le « succès » français en Libye est un désastre, alors que paradoxalement, l’échec d’Alain juppé en Syrie préserve les chances de peser dans le monde de demain. Alors que la crise syrienne annonce la fin du monde unipolaire et le bouleversement des anciennes alliances, la France n’a qu’une alternative : la reconquête de sa souveraineté ou l’errance mondialiste.

The fact is, Turkey is very far out on a limb on Syria and, at this point, can only be grateful that the international community has not sawn it off.

It gives me great pleasure to study the document which just reached me — ‘Explanation of Vote’ on the United Nations supervision mission for Syria by Ambassador Hardeep Puri at the UN Security Council in New York a little while ago. Before Puri spoke, External Affairs Minister S.M.Krishna telephoned UN’s joint special envoy for Syria Kofi Annan to underscore India’s support for his mission.

Sami Kleib est un journaliste franco-libanais bien connu specialiste du Moyen-Orient. Il raconte les derniers rebondissements de l’affaire et finit par une présentation de la situation globale mondiale en expliquant comment la situation des pays du Golfe risque d’exploser, sutout celle de l’Arabie saoudite et du Qatar qui se trouvent aujourd’hui en situation d’agresseurs cherchant a sauver les meubles, après la défaite cuisante de leurs protegés vaincus, syriens et islamistes extrémistes de toutes nationalités. Quant a l’Europe… Pauvre Europe! Elle n’a plus qu’à attrendre le résultat des pourparlers entre Américains et Russes. Quant aux Libanais, il est temps qu’ils sachent où est l’interêt de leur pays, en se demandant s’ils veulent être enfermés chez eux par une coalition complétée par une Syrie gouvernée par des integristes virulents. Un article introduit par Mouna Alno.

With 83 states and intergovernmental organizations represented, the second “Friends” of Syria conference was a media success. Yet, all the glimmer and gloss cannot hide NATO’s and the GCC’s defeat in Syria, which after a year of low intensity war have failed to bring about regime change and are now compelled to retreat in the face of the Russian-Sino-Iranian front. Thierry Meyssan sheds light on this bizarre diplomatic conference where words were not used to declare but to obscure.
