I have been saying on this blog for many years that America is the great danger to peace and that Great Britain should if not leave then quietly quit NATO. I said NATO exists to defend its members from the dangers created by belonging to NATO and is useless. My opinions seemed eccentric but they don't seem unusual now. I have also been saying that had Iran an atom bomb that would preserve peace in the Middle East. That looks pretty undeniable now too. Apart from the mistake of not developing the bomb the Iranians made another big mistake last year in agreeing a ceasefire with the Americans and Israelis which their enemies used to buy time to organise the fake regime change operation at the beginning of this year and then to launch this war.
Netanyahu and Trump should just give up but that would leave Iran in charge of the Strait of Hormuz and as the clear winner so that will not happen.
Iran has informed regional states that if Iranian energy infrastructure is struck, the entire region will be plunged into darkness and all options are on the table.
The United States and Israel have a set of targets lined up in Iran designed to cripple the country’s economy and ensure the regime’s recovery from this war is “long and painful,” with Israel awaiting authorisation from Washington this week to begin striking energy facilities across Iran, officials tell The New York Times.
When Ayatollah Khomeini first came along talking about America as the Great Satan it found a certain chord in my reactionary teenage breast. (And us as the Little Satan felt like a compliment to my miserable island). Now I see Candace Owens, America's most popular media personality, just said that satanic Zionists occupy the White House.

NATO Treaty (Article 13)
The country must send a formal "notice of denunciation" (official notification of intent to withdraw) to the United States government, which serves as the depositary (keeper) of the treaty.
The U.S. then informs all other NATO members of the notice.
Exactly one year after the notice is given, the country automatically ceases to be a party to the treaty and is no longer a member of NATO.
