Trump, "Time for Peace"?

 IS IT THE END OR JUST THE BEGINNING?

CONSEQUENCES WILL BE WIDE AND LONG LASTING

While the western world celebrates the beginning of the latest war in the middle east, the results of the many precedents set by this project will be long lasting. The war is far from being about Nuclear weapons, just as the war in Iraq was not about "Weapons of Mass destruction" it is just the cover for a far more complicated world conflict.

While many anticipate Iran to strike U.S. forces, it is most likely they will not, at least not for now.  They will concentrate on taking apart Israel piece by piece and making Israel a very unfriendly place to live. It is going to be a war of attrition. While ultimately Iran may lose this conflict, it is likely they will both be ultimate losers. Israel does not have a bright future.

The goal is not the end of Iran nuclear industry, if that was the case, the Iranians had accepted a workable agreement that would have insured no nuclear weapons in exchange for a more normalized relations. The goal  is regime change, the biggest regime change plan, except for Russia and eventually China. In fact, overthrowing and controlling Iran will be considered a huge win against Russia and China. Israel's goal is dominate military power over the entire middle-east as it is the only nuclear power. It also desires for expansion in Gaza, the west bank, parts of Syria and Jordan.

The only ones who seem to not understand this reality is, as usual, most Americans, who accept their governments claims of Sainthood and the promotion of Democracy and fair play around the world.

The precedent that have been set by this whole Iran tragedy is that the United States credibility, which was not too great to begin with, may have been permanently destroyed. No one will enter into negotiations with the U.S. after watching the duplicity and deceit that was displayed in the Iranian negotiations. The negotiations were a scam, never meant to be consummated. The world was watching.

The unspoken rule about assassination of the leadership of another country, is now gone. Politicians and leaders of any government, including the U.S., are now going to be considered fair game.

We can expect that the much touted trade agreement with China will never be fulfilled. China would be a fool to provide any strategic rare earth products used for U.S. arms manufacturing, that ultimately will  be used against them. 

Russia will never enter into serious negotiations with the U.S. after watching what happened to themselves and to Iran while negotiations were in progress.

The policy of smuggling drones into a country for an attack can be perpetrated against any country on earth, including the United States, by countries, groups and individuals.

India has refused to come for a meeting with the White house.

Japan has cancelled negotiations with U.S. after the U.S. tried to force them to dramatically increase their defense spending, by buying weapons from the United States and in effect, provoking China.

At one time, the United States was considered the Light upon a hill. An example to be envied by much of the world. A reputation of fair play and cooperation. As the world has prospered and many counties have become wealthy, the U.S., which has lost much of the source of its prosperity, a huge manufacturing base, has attempted keep its top role in the world by intimidation and threats, attempting to damage the economies of competitors or if necessary and ultimately, brut force.  And even neo-colonialism, does anyone ask who if receiving the benefits of Iraqi, Syrian and Libyan oil revenues?

It has made enemies where there were no enemies and anyone who does not submit is labeled an enemy and subjected to propaganda and demonization.  

Donald Trump promised a new policy, ending the endless wars and embracing a policy of mutual respect and cooperation, many saw hope in negotiations with both Russia and Iran, but he engaged in duplicity and deceit and the possibilities of future negotiations with anyone are dead. Violent confrontation is all that is left.

Rather than accepting the new reality in world affairs and seeking cooperation and coexistence, It seems the U.S. policy is on an unsustainable attempt to rule the world by force, a policy that has always ended in tragic results.
