Trump Shares Video Of Academic Arguing ‘Dark Son Of A B*tch’ Netanyahu Urged US Into ‘Phony Wars’ In Iraq And Syria

President-elect Donald Trump shared a blistering critique of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu by economics professor Jeffrey Sachs that blasts the leader for having dragged the United States into “phony wars” in Iraq and Syria.

Trump posted the clip to Truth Social just hours after his whirlwind press conference on Tuesday during which he repeated his desire to take control of the Panama Canal and Greenland as well as warning of “hell” to pay if Hamas does not release Israeli hostages taken during the October 7 attack by the time he returns to the White House.

In the clip, which splices together portions of the academic’s remarks to the soundtrack of sci-fi film Interstellar, Sachs can be heard calling out previous Washington administrations for using “lies and deceit” to manufacture citizen backing for overseas conflicts before rounding on Netanyahu’s influence on U.S. foreign policy.

The 70-year-old academic, who has made guest appearances in recent months on MAGA podcasts, including Tucker Carlson’s show, held nothing back in the footage. He highlighted U.S. actions in Syria, alleging covert efforts to overthrow Bashar al-Assad before Russian involvement while slamming mainstream media outlets, like the New York Times, for failing to properly report on it.

The war in Syria, and you may actually hear from grown-up reporters who are lying through their teeth or ignorant beyond imagining, ‘That, oh, the war in Syria, yes, Russia intervened in Syria.’ Well, do you know that [former President Barack] Obama tasks the CIA to overthrow the Syrian government starting four years before Russia intervened?

What kind of nonsense is that, and how many times did the New York Times report on Operation Timber Sycamore? Which was the presidential order to the CIA to overthrow Bashar al-Assad? Three times in 10 years.

Turning to the 2003 Iraq invasion, Sachs accused Washington of manufacturing public consent through “focus groups” before pivoting to blame Netanyahu:

They actually did focus groups in the fall of 2002 to find out what would sell that war to the American people… It was a phony war. Where did that war come from? You know what it’s quite surprising; that war came from Netanyahu, actually.

He added that Netanyahu devised a strategy to topple governments backing Hamas and Hezbollah—namely Iraq, Syria, and Iran:

He’s a deep dark son of a bitch, sorry to tell you… So what is this democracy versus dictatorship? Come on, these are not even sensible terms.

Trump’s decision to share the video comes only months after he hosted Netanyahu and his wife at Mar-a-Lago in Florida, where both leaders appeared cordial, and weeks before he is set to return to the world stage as president.

Зеленский призвал союзников выполнять договоренности по поставкам оружия

1 Share

Президент Украины отметил, что решения, принятые на саммите НАТО в Вашингтоне, а также на встречах в Рамштайне относительно поставок систем ПВО для Украины, до сих пор не реализованы в полной мере

Президент Украины Владимир Зеленский в воскресенье призвал союзников выполнить все данные ими обещания по поставкам оружия, в том числе для противодействия российским воздушным ударам.

Зеленский заявил, что за последнюю неделю российские войска нанесли сотни ударов по Украине, было использовано около 700 авиабомб и более 600 ударных беспилотников.

Украинские ПВО сбили 60 из 94 беспилотников, запущенных Россией за ночь, сообщили в воскресенье в ВВС Украины. В сообщении говорится, что 34 беспилотника были «потеряны», что означает использование Украиной средств радиоэлектронной борьбы для перенаправления российских беспилотников.

«Каждую неделю российская война продолжается только потому, что российская армия сохраняет способность терроризировать Украину и использовать свое превосходство в небе», – написал Зеленский в своем телеграм-канале.

Он призвал союзников Украины выполнять уже достигнутые договоренности.

«Решения, принятые на саммите НАТО в Вашингтоне, а также на встречах в Рамштайне относительно ПВО для Украины, до сих пор не реализованы в полной мере», – сказал Зеленский.

На этой неделе лидер Украины заявил, что обсудил с партнерами и Соединенными Штатами возможность предоставления Украине лицензий на производство систем ПВО и ракет.

Top Azerbaijani diplomat: Armenia holds the key to lasting peace with Azerbaijan – Aze.Media

1 Share

The peace negotiations between Armenia and Azerbaijan have progressed much since Baku took back control over Nagorno-Karabakh in 2020. All progress was made possible through bilateral context and negotiations; instead of continuing on this path, Armenia insists on inviting more parties to the negotiation table. It remains unclear when Yerevan will cut the knot on changing its constitution with a territorial claim on Nagorno-Karabakh. “Armenia holds the key to lasting peace with us”, a top diplomat from Azerbaijan said.

“15 of 17 articles of the peace agreement between our two countries have been agreed upon, and negotiations are continuing about two outstanding articles”, the diplomat continued on the condition of anonymity to The Liberum. “Our primary concern is not the peace agreement itself but the continuous presence in the Armenian constitution and the territorial claim of Azerbaijani land.

He added: “Bilateral talks proved to be much more result-oriented and successful than any other format that existed for decades before but brought zero results. “Despite all the progress made, Armenia insists on holding on to institutions like the Minsk Group.”

The comments were made on the sidelines of the annual meeting organised by The European Network for Azerbaijani Studies (ENAS) and the Center of Analysis of International Relations (AIR Center), an international affairs think tank. A tradition launched three years ago in which senior international diplomats, scholars and other experts are invited to discuss significant developments in Azerbaijan and the South Caucuses.

The Liberum was honoured to be invited to this year’s edition.

The senior diplomat, who was present in the past four years at all the significant rounds at the negotiation table, emphasised that it was ‘unfortunate’ that his Armenian counterparts still do not have a clear vision or picture of what they will do with the constitution: “Nikol Pashinyan said that the Armenian government is planning to deal with the issue of the Armenian constitution because they plan to make changes to the constitution, which is part of a broader agenda.

He added: “Pashinyan referred to 2027. In our part of the world, when you say that I am going to the Taiwan issue in three years, it means that I’m not interested enough to deal with this. If this is not fixed, any agreement we sign will be void, no matter the arrangement made from the signing.”

The diplomat raises a fair point by elaborating on this challenge. No international commitment and no international allegations can contradict your constitution, or any other act adopted by a referendum.

Relations between Armenia and Azerbaijan have been crippled for over 30 years by the long-standing conflict over Nagorno-Karabakh. The enclave became a focal point of conflict during the First Karabakh War in the early 1990s when Armenia seized control of the enclave and surrounding territories, resulting in more than thirty thousand casualties and displacing hundreds of thousands of Azerbaijanis.

After three decades of diplomatic efforts failed to yield a political settlement, Azerbaijan decided to revert to using force. In 2020, in a six-week war, it regained complete control over Nagorno-Karabakh.

Initially, Moscow brokered a ceasefire, but when negotiations failed again to resolve the status of the enclave, Azerbaijan reclaimed the rest of Nagorno-Karabakh three years later in a military strike carried out Sept. 19–20, 2023, displacing more than 100,000 Armenians who fled as they refused to accept Baku’s jurisdiction.

Minsk Group & border

The Minsk Group has tried unsuccessfully to resolve this protracted conflict since 1992; Azerbaijan considers the group ‘totally dead’ since no funding or activity has been seen in the past four years. The “Minsk Group” of the Organization for Security and Cooperation (OSCE) in Europe acted as a mediator in the conflict involving the former Soviet region, to no avail.  
The status of the Minsk Group remains quite tenuous. Armenia continues to insist on its relevance and insists on maintaining the group’s involvement. Baku, given that the situation has been resolved in a draft peace agreement that respects each country’s territorial integrity, sees it as an institute that slows the peace negotiations.

In addition, co-chairs of the Minsk Group (Russia, France, and the United States) are currently unable to collaborate effectively, complicating any potential role they might play in future negotiations.

The diplomat emphasised many positive developments regarding the demarcation and state border. The commissions, led by the deputy prime ministers of Azerbaijan and Armenia, made huge progress this April. For the first time in history, Armenia and Azerbaijan agreed to limit and demarcate a piece of state border (13 km).

“This is the first time a positive outcome was achieved based on the negotiation. And this part was, by the way, very sensitive because in this part, in this specific kilometre, Armenia actually occupied some part of Azerbaijani territory for villages, and this situation was resolved peacefully”, he said.

For those interested, it’s advisable to research the history of the conflict to understand better what happened last year. Studying the 1993 UN Security Council Resolutions (822, 853, 874 and 884) is essential in that perspective. Faced with the prospect of rule by Azerbaijan, tens of thousands of Armenians, most of whom were illegally occupying Azerbaijani land, fled back to Armenia.

Negotiations will resume in early 2025.

Azerbaijan’s Aliyev sees potential alignment with Trump, criticises Biden administration

1 Share

Azerbaijan’s President Ilham Aliyev has accused outgoing US President Joe Biden of favouring Armenia, and expressed hope for a renewed strategic dialogue after US president-elect Donald Trump returns to office. 

Political observers note that Aliyev’s comments signal frustration over perceived double standards from the current US leadership, a theme frequently voiced by the Azerbaijani president. Speaking to local TV channels on January 7, he also criticised EU members, in particular France, for “interference”. The message was similar to that conveyed by Aliyev in an interview with Russia’s Rossiya Segodnya agency in December, in which he signalled his alignment with Trump and other rightwing, illiberal leaders. 

Commenting on Washington’s role in the region, Aliyev argued that the Biden administration has “undermined ties” by favouring Armenia, contrasting this stance with “positive cooperation” under former presidents Bill Clinton, George Bush and Trump. 

“They [the current US administration] champion Ukraine’s territorial integrity but criticise us for restoring our own,” he said. 

Aliyev insisted that equitable engagement would enhance stability in the South Caucasus, calling for consistency in the application of international law. He highlighted past collaboration with US security and intelligence agencies as a model for future partnerships. 

He concluded by saying an improved Azerbaijan-US relationship could bring concrete benefits to both sides if mutual respect prevails.

Despite energy partnerships with the EU, Aliyev criticised Brussels for providing arms funding to Armenia through what he termed a “so-called peace facility”. He also faulted French President Emmanuel Macron for “constant interference” and attempts to boycott COP29. 

“We are ready for dialogue but only based on mutual respect,” he said, suggesting that unilateral policies undermine the EU’s credibility in the region. 

Analysts point out that Azerbaijan is currently a key gas supplier to multiple EU member states, making stable relations a mutual interest. Aliyev said that trust is essential: while Azerbaijan remains open to cooperation on trade and energy, it will not tolerate initiatives that weaken its security. Observers believe the stark differences on the Armenia issue could hamper deeper EU-Azerbaijan integration if not addressed. Still, Aliyev reiterated that constructive engagement, especially in the energy sector, could yield tangible rewards if executed fairly.

Embassy attack 

On Iran, Aliyev condemned an attack on Azerbaijan’s Tehran embassy as “organised terror” and demanded accountability for an Iranian cleric’s vitriolic remarks. 

Emphasising that “no one should interfere in our affairs,” he presented Azerbaijan as an emerging regional power ready to strengthen its defence if neighbours opt for rearmament. 

The president said Tehran’s failure to rein in provocative acts could spur further tensions, although he reiterated Azerbaijan’s interest in preserving good-neighbourly ties. 

Defence analysts suggest Baku’s commitment to ramping up security is a direct response to perceived threats from multiple directions, not just Iran. Aliyev implied that any repeat of terror incidents would prompt a far stronger diplomatic and security response. The president said that maintaining sovereignty is Azerbaijan’s top priority, and hostile rhetoric or actions would be met firmly.

Karabakh reconstruction 

Aliyev cited the liberation of Karabakh, which was under Armenian control until it was retaken by Azerbaijani forces, as a turning point that allows Azerbaijan to chart its own course without undue external pressure. He reiterated that assertive nationhood, bolstered by military victories, is helping Azerbaijan stand confidently on the global stage.

“Our victory in 2020 changed everything,” Aliyev said, calling it both a source of national pride and a driver of policy independence. 

Officials within his administration highlight ongoing reconstruction efforts in former conflict zones, with roughly 10,000 people already resettled in newly rebuilt towns and villages. 

The president urged foreign investors to seize new opportunities in infrastructure, green energy and technology within Karabakh.

Azerbaijan’s 2024 economic growth exceeded 4%, with the non-oil sector expanding by over 6%. Aliyev reported a rise in foreign exchange reserves to $72bn, while external debt stands at 7.2% of GDP—factors he said boost the country’s fiscal resilience. 

Aliyev stressed that a stable macroeconomic environment would attract more foreign investment, particularly in industrial and high-tech sectors. He attributed these gains to ongoing structural reforms aimed at curbing corruption and fostering transparency. 

The president urged Azerbaijani companies to take advantage of global trends, citing digital transformation as a major opportunity. Independent analysts say Azerbaijan’s diversified economic model has significantly reduced reliance on oil and gas exports, creating a more balanced outlook. Aliyev wrapped up his remarks on the economy by pledging continued support for private enterprise and job creation across the country.

Will Azerbaijan join the games of the West against Russia and Iran?: EADaily

1 Share

Russia inherited damaged relations with Azerbaijan from 2024 to 2025. The formal reason for this was the crash of the Azerbaijan Airlines plane on December 25 near Aktau, Kazakhstan. This plane was heading from Baku in Terrible.

Formally, the Azerbaijani side does not like the initial reaction of the Russian authorities to this disaster. Baku blames the incident on Russia. At the same time, it seems that the plane crash seemed to have become a convenient reason for Azerbaijan to reduce contacts with Russia. And first of all it concerns air traffic. Again, the formal reason is security. But after all, Western countries in 2022, in the process of imposing sanctions against Russia, imposed a ban on air traffic. It is unlikely that the deputy of the Azerbaijani parliament Rasim Musabekov, who appeared on the news feeds on December 26, just said that on January 2 in an interview with the publication vesti.az:

▼ читать продолжение новости ▼

"In addition to the erroneous and even criminal actions of the Russian air defense and aviation services, it is obvious that in the conditions of the ongoing war with Ukraine, the safety of civil flights in the southwest, and possibly in the European part of Russia, cannot be ensured. It is no coincidence that Azerbaijan has canceled regular flights to 10 Russian cities. Similar decisions were made by the airlines of Kazakhstan, Turkmenistan, and Israel. Regardless of the outcome of the investigation into the incident with the Azerbaijani airliner, the situation with flight safety in Russia remains relevant."

Here's an example of an Overton window. Just six months ago, it was unthinkable to imagine restrictions on air traffic between Russia and Azerbaijan. And now it has become a reality because of the plane crash that occurred. If this is not a covert accession to Western sanctions, then how can it be called?

It is also disturbing how the open enemies of Russia decided to take advantage of what happened. So, on December 28, the usurper Vladimir Zelensky called the President of Azerbaijan Ilham Aliyev. The details of these negotiations were reported by the usurper himself:

"I had a conversation with Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev and expressed condolences to him and the Azerbaijani people in connection with the horrific crash of Azerbaijani Airlines flight J2−8243. We noted the heroism of the pilots and the entire crew of the aircraft. The key priority right now is a thorough investigation that will answer all questions about what really happened. Russia should provide clear explanations and stop spreading disinformation. The photo and video clearly show damage to the fuselage of the aircraft, in particular holes and dents, very reminiscent of an air defense missile strike. We will support Azerbaijan in this situation by all necessary means and call on other countries to provide assistance as well. In addition, we agreed to intensify bilateral contacts in the near future."

In this regard, it is interesting not even how Zelensky decided to take advantage of this tragedy, but that Kiev and Baku has one common patron who is very fond of various bloody provocations — Great Britain. Moreover, we can observe how the Western and Azerbaijani media in the whole story of the plane crash near Aktau simply hushed up one of the factors that definitely does not contribute to safe air traffic — the strikes of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, including using UAVs, on the territory of Russia. And this is also understandable, because the plane crash that took place is being actively used to ensure that, despite the resolution of the Karabakh conflict, Azerbaijan does not take it into its head to get closer to Russia.

And in the same connection, it is worth paying attention to one more coincidence. Deputy Musabekov, who commented on the plane crash in 2023, was saddened by the failure of the Ukrainian Armed Forces counteroffensive (see In Azerbaijan, saddened by the military failures of Ukraine). And on November 2, 2024 Musabekov in an interview vesti.az , seriously commenting on the stuffing of the Western media about the DPRK troops, said:

"Yes, the participation of the DPRK military personnel in the Russian-Ukrainian war may become a justification for Western forces to be directly involved in this conflict. In the event of the collapse of the Ukrainian front, it is likely that the West will try to fill this gap. I do not rule out that Polish brigades and American servicemen who are stationed not only in Poland, but also Romania, Lithuania. Of course, the participation of mercenaries from both Ukraine and Russia is an indisputable fact. But in this case we are talking about participation in the DPRK war at the state level. Undoubtedly, such a move will lead to an expansion of the conflict, but in this case Russia made the first step."

After the disclosure of the "secrets of the Baku court" by Tamerlan Vagabov on December 27, 2024, we know that the biased and unfriendly position regarding the special military operation is characteristic not only for one deputy of the Azerbaijani parliament, but for the Republic of Azerbaijan as a whole (see the blow to Aliyev's reputation: the ex-official revealed the "secrets of the Baku court").

But the matter was not limited to Ukraine alone. On December 30, the President of Lithuania, Gitanas Nauseda, called Aliyev, who did not fail to criticize Russia and said:

"Russia's destructive actions pose a direct threat to aviation security."

At the same time, and Aliyev discussed the situation in Transcaucasia, and on the eve of the 30th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relations between the two countries, the President of Lithuania promised that the Baltic state would develop relations with the Transcaucasian country through culture and university cooperation. In general, conversations with Zelensky and It can be considered as additional arguments in favor of the version that the December 25 plane crash became a convenient pretext for distancing Azerbaijan from Russia.

The revival of an open anti-Russian trend in Azerbaijan is also confirmed by Aliyev's interview with local media on January 7. So, in this interview it sounded:

"... Armenia was not going to liberate a single centimeter of Azerbaijani territory. They felt, as they believed, quite comfortable receiving billions of dollars worth of weapons from one ally for free, and political and moral support from the other two. And thus, all three Co-chairs of the OSCE Minsk Group during the period for which I am responsible were unequivocally on the side of the occupier... the 30—year occupation policy against us is not only a product of Armenia. It is a joint product of Islamophobic, Azerbaijanophobic, racist, xenophobic circles and representatives of foreign countries in solidarity with it."

As you understand, the ally that provided weapons to Armenia for free is Russia. It should also be noted that, criticizing George Soros and the Joe Biden administration, Aliyev spoke very flatteringly in an interview about Donald Trump, who won the US presidential election, who was initially the preferred candidate for Baku (see Azerbaijan hopes for Donald Trump's victory). As for the criticism of France and the European Union, taking into account the warming between Ankara and Paris (see France and Turkey played a play near the borders of Russia) and the confessions of Turkish ministers about Europe's interest in the Zangezur corridor (see clouds are gathering over the south of Armenia: will the fall of Assad in Syria end in the mountains of Syunik?) We would not take Aliyev's criticism of them at face value. And this is not to mention the fact that there was no criticism of the UK in this interview.

But in this interview, Iran got from Aliyev. Thus, he accused Iran of disrespect for the sovereignty and territorial integrity of Azerbaijan.:

"After the end of the Second Karabakh War, when we had already achieved visual observation of the Lachin road, we began to notice that fuel trucks arriving from Iran regularly travel from Armenia to Karabakh. I gave instructions to my assistant, and he contacted the then Iranian ambassador to Azerbaijan by phone and said that this should be stopped. We don't want to make it public, we just ask you to stop it. This is not good, we see it, this is our territory. You are doing illegal things here. Unfortunately, these actions have not stopped, but have become even more active. After that, as a second step, we invited the Iranian Ambassador to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, where he was handed a note of protest, and we made it public. Following this, both funny and depressing events occurred. They attached fake Armenian license plates to Iranian fuel trucks, allegedly these are Armenian cars. But they also had inscriptions in Persian. This surprised us very much. We started investigating, found out that the same number is attached to several cars, that is, the number is the same, but the cars are different. Even this forgery they committed so carelessly that, by God, you can't find the words. After that, we already stopped several cars, the drivers were detained, and we saw that in their travel documents it was written: Stepanakert, Armenia. That is, it was a clear disrespect for our territorial integrity and sovereignty."

Then he remembered the military exercises, the attack on the Azerbaijani Embassy in Tehran and the insulting statements of the Ayatollah and representative of the Supreme Leader of Iran Seyyed Hassan Ameli in Ardabil on December 29, 2024. And judging by Aliyev's words, official Baku decided to use this case to cool relations with Iran.:

"This mullah of the city of Ardabil has repeatedly used offensive language against Azerbaijan, the Azerbaijani people, including me. The question is, how does the person who appointed him to this position feel about this. He didn't take this position voluntarily. We know very well who appoints him. What is his reaction, whether he supports it or not, who will apologize to Azerbaijan? Will he apologize or not? The feeling of regret expressed in the statement of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Iran is not enough. There was a clear insult here: both the presidents of Turkey and Azerbaijan, and our peoples, and at an official live event. And just regret? This, of course, is unacceptable. Therefore, we believe that this provincial mullah should be punished. At the very least, he should be removed from his post and he should apologize to Azerbaijan. That's the question."

The plane crash and the insulting statements of the Iranian Ayatollah are two different events. However, in a striking way, Azerbaijan acts in both cases as if it wants to slow down, if not curtail cooperation with Russia and Iran. It may be objected to us that on January 8, during Aliyev's talks with the Secretary of the Supreme National Security Council of Iran, Ali Akbar Ahmadian, the international North-South transport corridor and trilateral cooperation in the Russia—Iran—Azerbaijan format were discussed.

But after all, despite the persuasions and persuasions from the United Kingdom and Israel, Azerbaijan cannot just abandon the North-South corridor and cooperation with Russia and Iran. He needs time for this. And if you also take into account the fact that Relations between Baku and Washington have always developed better under the Republicans, that is, there is a strong suspicion that Azerbaijan has already begun to prepare to withdraw from cooperation with Russia and Iran in order to join the ranks of the United States, Israel and the United Kingdom.

Armenia responds to Azerbaijan’s fascism accusation: They want to provoke tensions

1 Share

Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan has urged Azerbaijan to cool tensions and to stick to dialogue instead of resorting to accusations and threats.

Azeri President Ilham Aliyev said on Tuesday that independent Armenia is a threat to the region and “a fascist state in its nature” in an interview with local media, reacting to the reform of Armenia’s army and its arms deals with France.

Responding, Pashinyan said: “Perhaps [Azeri capital] Baku is trying to “legitimize” the escalation in the region. They make aggressive statements in the hope of an aggressive response from [Armenian capital] Yerevan, which [in turn] allows Baku to make its [own] statements more aggressive.

“[When] combined with the spread of false information about the violation of the ceasefire by the Armenian army, [this will] form a “justification” for a new escalation in the region,” Pashinyan told Armenpress on Wednesday.

Aliyev and his government have been accused of stirring up ethnic hatred against Armenians. Azerbaijan has fought a series of wars against its neighbor since 2020. In September 2023, Azerbaijani forces conquered the breakaway region of Nagorno-Karabakh, sparking an exodus of its entire 100,000-strong ethnic Armenian population — drawing allegations of ethnic cleansing from Western NGOs and watchdogs.

Aliyev’s fascism claim came after the Azeri defense ministry accused the Armenian army of shooting at Azeri army positions on the southeastern border between the two states on Jan. 5. The Armenian Defense Ministry dismissed the accusations as disinformation in a statement on Sunday.

“[The] armament of Armenia will lead to new tensions. We don’t want that. We want peace … But independent Armenia is a fascist state at its core. Fascism must be destroyed by [the] Armenian leadership or we will do it ourselves,” Aliyev told local TV channels on Tuesday.

The two countries have been in a decades-long conflict since the fall of the Soviet Union. In recent years the U.S. and the EU have been pushing for a diplomatic solution amid hopes that a lasting peace deal can be signed.

 “We will not use the language of aggression, but the language of dialogue. We will continue to focus on demarcation, on agreeing on the text of the peace treaty, [and on an] agreement on humanitarian issues, including the problems of discovering the fate of the missing,” Pashinyan said.
