Stop Saudi Arabia, Israel from fomenting US war on Iran



The American public appears oblivious both Saudi Arabia and Israel are goading the US to attack their bete noir Iran. They've concluded there is room for only two hegemons in the Middle East...which is them. A triumvirate with Iran is unacceptable so it must be taken out. Their problem is even combined the Saudis and Israelis can't topple Iran so they've gone to Plan B; having their client state America to the job for them. They've been lobbying such action for years. Fortunately for the world both George W. Bush and Obama pushed back for 12 years. Enter the pliable idiot on foreign affairs Donald Trump who glomed onto Saudi strongman Mohammad bin Salmon and Israeli forever prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu, essentially giving them a blank check to have the US do their Iran dirty work.

Step one was busting up the 5 +1 nuclear deal with Iran which arguably diffused war clouds over Iran's imaginary nuclear program when inked in 2015. The clueless Trump did this with relish, lusting to overturn every sensible policy the wise Obama implemented; fulfilling a campaign promise that no Obama good deed would go unpunished. That makes war with Iran a real possibility. Step two is to follow the Iraq war model: make stuff up to justify war. We're starting to see this at play in real time with Trump's Murderers Row of National Security Adviser John Bolton, Secretary of State Mike Pompeo trumpeting scare tactics to get the media and masses in line.

It's bad enough we're enabling the Saudis' murderous war against pitiful neighbor Yemen to keep the hated Houthis out of power, and Israel's Apartheid subjugation of the pitiful Palestinians. Now we must contend with the possibility of full scale war which would dwarf the grotesqueness of both.

The American public is asleep to the danger ahead. How unfortunate it may take full scale war to wake it up.
