“This is big”, wrote Moon of Alabama on March 10 in his opener to a piece featured in my post next day. Even corporate media couldn’t ignore it altogether, though they continue to do their level best to downplay its significance. I speak of the deal brokered in and by Beijing, between the region’s leading Shia and Sunni powers, which advances the thing Washington and Israel most fear in the middle east.
Peace.
I was alerted to the MoA offering by a steel city reader. Last night another reader sent me this characteristically lucid, but more detailed, presentation of why Moon of Alabama – not known for effusiveness – opened as he did.
You’ll need to set aside close to three-quarters of an hour for Ben Norton, on why the deal in Beijing matters. It’s worth it.

The centrist but less slavishly pro US Al-Monitor is also cautionary.
As regards MoA’s closing words:
They most assuredly are.
