The truth about Iran, Ukraine and the disaster that is Nato

Israel would like Iran broken up but I doubt the USA intends that. Persia is a very old country - are the Persians as old a people as the Jews? - so it might not happen. But the US threatening war with Iran is about geopolitics, not in the least about democracy and women's rights, any more than Syria or Libya was.

Annette Mullaney put it like this.

"Historically, when Americans suddenly care about women’s rights in a Middle Eastern country, those women are about to be bombed".

It's not even about American interests. iran is no threat to any other country except Israel and not really even to Israel if Israel wanted good relations.

Former senior British diplomat Ian Proud is very interesting, talking to Pascal Lottaz here. He starts by mentioning in passing that the disturbances recently in Iran were organised by the CIA and Israelis. All the ten or fifteen experts I've listened to, including four former CIA or MI6 spies say the same thing but a journalist friend who should know much better dismissed this as "antisemitic BS".

Mr Proud thinks the European Commission intends to prevent peace in Ukraine. War is good for the EU. Accepting Ukraine as a member would not be - it would give her a veto and cost the EU a lot of money it doesn't have.

But a pointless war costs a lot and kills many people. the war was provoked by America and if they walk away the Europeans cannot afford to continue it and have no interest in doing so.

Proud thinks countries like Montenegro join Nato to make money for their defence sectors - who imagines America would go to war for Montenegro - or that anyone would threaten Montenegro.

I agree but see no reason why Canada belongs - she had no threats until recently and when one finally came it was from the USA.

The same is true of course for England or as she is now called Yukay.

Nato should have been wound up in 92. It soon will be but wil be replaced by something almost as bad - an EU defence pact.

Is the Russia-China-Iran alliance a real alliance like Nato asks Pascal Lottaz and then quotes Stanislav Krapivnik whom he interviewed recently and who said the Russia-China-Iran alliance is a real alliance unlike Nato which is not one.

It's simply the US way of organising its vassals.
