The Lead
Amid Horrors of Gaza, Russiagate Exposé Can Shift Political Geometry
by Jason Ross (EIRNS) — Jul. 24, 2025
As the world increasingly awakens to, and demands action to address the Israeli genocide against the Palestinians, countries and people are asking themselves what they can do, as they grapple with what is the biggest question: What will the U.S. do?
At the United Nations, a conference on the two-state solution is to be hosted early next week by France and Saudi Arabia, but no binding resolutions through the UN Security Council are possible so long as the U.S. continues to exercise its veto power. Last year, the UN General Assembly voted to admit the State of Palestine as a full member state of the UN, but the U.S. squashed the proposal with its Security Council veto in 2024.
Just days before the upcoming conference, President of France Emannuel Macron has announced that Paris will officially recognize Palestine’s statehood. In a July 24 letter to Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas, Macron writes, “I have the honor to confirm to you that in light of the commitments you have made, France will proceed with full recognition of Palestine as a State, when I attend the United Nations General Assembly in September.”
What will it take to unshackle the United States from its self-destructive (and other-destructive) policy?
The devastating Russiagate revelations released by Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard offer a powerful opportunity to shift U.S. policy, by prompting a re-examination of the last ten years of politics. The most significant political realization will not be that Obama organized an intelligence process to falsely claim that Trump’s 2016 victory over Hillary Clinton was masterminded by Vladimir Putin.
No, the most significant lesson to be learned will be the role of the British in promoting the Russiagate hoax as a way of spiking relations between two countries whose cooperation would threaten the existence of Anglo-American hegemony, of NATO supremacy.
As Harley Schlanger explained in a 2018 article published by the Russian International Affairs Council, “it was the United Kingdom, through its various intelligence units that ‘meddled’ in the 2016 U.S. presidential elections.”
Because of Trump’s unpredictability, and his general disposition toward not engaging in warfare (a disposition that is countered by his inclination to give Netanyahu what he wants and his confrontational view of Iran), the British considered him a danger to their interests and organized a campaign to discredit and disempower him. The most salacious of the Russiagate allegations came from the fanciful accounts presented by “ex"-British MI6 agent Christopher Steele, who operated under MI6 Chief Sir Richard Dearlove.
Dearlove vouched for the Steele dossier and was a key player in promoting the falsified intelligence that led to the disastrous 2003 Iraq War.
