In an interview with Judge Andrew Napolitano, former U.S. Assistant Secretary of Defense Chas Freeman explains how Israeli, British, and European governments each are trying to escalate the conflicts in the Middle East and Ukraine – to draw the U.S. into full-scale wars.

In a patient examination of the “worst nuclear crisis since 1962,” Freeman moves in his August 22 appearance from detailing the brinkmanship of British-led escalation in Ukraine to the question of whether the world “can tolerate the criminal state of Israel.”

Freeman adds that not only is the state of Israel facing self-destruction – but it is being led “into the abyss” by Benjamin Netanyahu.

“Netanyahu and the other yahoos around him have led Israel into the abyss – and they don’t have a plan to get out,” he says.

Freeman, the one-time U.S. Ambassador to Saudi Arabia, frames the mounting crisis in foreign affairs with an examination of both theaters of potential world war in the Middle East and in Ukraine.

“Pushed far enough against the wall, the Russians will counter-escalate to the nuclear level,” says Freeman, noting the dangers created by the “clearly British-led” attempt to escalate the war against Russia.

Freeman calmly explains the apocalyptic risk of this strategy of escalation, pursued by the U.K. and Europeans in Ukraine and of the Netanyahu regime in Israel – both of whose aim is to secure U.S. involvement in a full-scale war their actions are designed to ignite.

“There are ample reports of the presence of troops from various NATO countries, including the United States,” in the recent offensive into the Russian region of Kursk, says Freeman. Therefore, he says, “we can’t simply dismiss the Russian assertion that this is a NATO invasion, and not merely Ukrainian.”

Freeman says the U.S. and its allies “have become a belligerent” as a result – which is an act of open war on Russia by the West.

Freeman says this reckless move towards full-scale war was not undertaken on the orders of the U.S.

“I don’t think [Ukraine] had the authority to do that from the Pentagon,” he says. “This is where the alleged British involvement in planning and launching this incursion comes in.”

Freeman says the reason for this action is to ensnare the U.S. in a wider war.

Moving to Israel, Freeman bluntly asks how long the world can tolerate such a criminal and “sociopathic” state, which he says is basically anti-Christian in nature.

“Israel [has] become the negation of the humane values that inspired our Christian religion,” Freeman continued. “And it is basically sociopathic.”

He applies this diagnosis to the Israeli leader.

“Mr. Netanyahu – personally, I think – is a sociopath. A lot of Israelis have criticized him essentially for that.”

Citing the observations of retired British diplomat Alastair Crooke, another regular guest on Napolitano’s show, Freeman says of Netanyahu, “Unfortunately he fits into the larger context that Alastair Crooke outlined: How can a society long survive that supports man-rape in prisons as a legitimate tool?”

Freeman is referring to the videotaped incident of a group of Israeli soldiers sodomizing a detained Palestinian with what appears to be a metal rod. The incident was discussed in the Israeli parliament, the Knesset, whose members agreed that any such measures were “legitimate” means of treatment of its prisoners, all of whom it labels as terrorists.

The former diplomat notes how Israel’s insistence that “we accept [and] endorse their right to exist” is actually “coded language for, ‘No one else has the right to exist between the River and the Sea,’ and therefore there can be no Palestinian self-determination.”

“I think … people are asking can we tolerate a society like this that is so sadistic, so murderous, so indifferent to international law and human decency,” he says, concluding that “much of the world is prepared to say no.”

Freeman, whose career was ended in 2009 after a campaign against him by the powerful Israel lobby in the United States, gives a view that is obvious to anyone outside the Western media propaganda bubble.

For “complex reasons,” he says that in “the United States we remain devoted to Israel” and that “there are some European countries that remain devoted to it – but elsewhere Israel is regarded as not just as a pariah but as a criminal.”

Freeman’s patient explanation of the crises in Israel and Ukraine is brief, carefully reasoned and comprehensive. The explanatory power of Freeman’s view makes this presentation one of the most powerful statements on foreign affairs seen in recent times.

This is a view wholly absent from the mainstream media, which even the editor of the Wall Street Journal admits has “gaslit” the American people for years “all in the name of ‘democracy.’”

Freeman’s diplomatic take on the bipolar disorder of the Globalist-Zionist regime is simply a statement of fact to millions of people who fear the replacement of their everyday lives with a state of emergency that is rapidly deteriorating.
