Trump acts true to form: Viewed in retrospect it looks like so much window dressing on the one hand and — more or less — cunning plans on the other:
-
- Cancel the contracts with Iran on Uranium enrichment control a few years ago. Which had been reached after 10 years of negotiation.
- Let Netanyahu in Israel escalate the situation in Gaza to breaking point to prick the Hamas and other Islamic groups — to breaking point.
- Coldly let them do their work of killing and hostage taking as a sort of revenge.
- Pressure the EU into contracts/agreements by threatening them with high tariffs for months.
- Bully and push everyone to any odd lengths.
- ‘Give’ Ukraine to Putin to make him stay put — and quiet.
- Where’s China…? Another blackmailed nation…?
- Let Netanyahu of Israel start a war on Iran to make matters even worse.
- Call Iran a dangerous regime — when the USA are the only ones ever to have used nuclear bombs?
- “Weapons of mass destruction”? It’s so obvious it would be ridiculous in any other circumstance:
- The last Shah left Iran almost 40 years ago.
- He had been supported as a follower of the USA, and in return sold them oil and gas at lowest possible prices.
- The present regime does not.
- Saddam Hussein of Iraq similarly had been instated and supported by the USA.
- Then he started to cut loose…
- As preparation for the 3rd Gulf war George Bush jr. declared and had everyone else believe it — that there were huge amounts of poison gas weapons there;
- images from bombings later seemed to show precise and exact hits of ‘military installations’ and weapon factories, only. Well? Rather not…
- In view of the fact that the USA are (in)famously in dire need of cheap petrol — and have been so at least for decades — it’s not surprising, all of this.
- Control of all the oil wells of the Near East…?
- ‘Defending their interests…’? ‘I beg your pardon’? Bullying, blackmail, extortion.
- “…true to form…”
I am indeed grateful that there are some people and leaders of state left who remember what being human means…
