End of the World

The Iranian situation is clear. If the Iranians had nuclear weapons, they would use them against Israel. This would cause a massive nuclear strike on Iran by the Israelis that would decimate the entire country. Both countries would be decimated, and the nuclear gynie would be out of the bottle.

This scenario could well bring in the US and Russia as nuclear adversaries in the dispute. Escalation to that level would be the end of the world as we know it — back to the dark ages.

This is why Iran cannot be allowed to have a nuclear weapons. They are crazy enough about the Israelis to use them.

Anyone who doesn’t understand all of this is either a fool or delusional, that is, living in lala land.

Real Diplomacy

Complacency

Remarkable, that the market seems to be totally ignoring the threat of escalation in the Ukraine situation with the firing of missiles into Russia.  You would think the market would be plunging, but instead it is going back to the previous high — completely ignoring the situation.  I don’t get it.  I really don’t understand such complacency. 

Must be the notion, which is very false in my opinion, that nuclear war can’t happen because it is too catastrophic.  

Russia/Ukraine

End Ukraine Insanity?

One of the benefits of electing Trump would be ending the Ukraine proxy war promoted by the US and NATO, a war that has virtually destroyed that country and brought back the specter of nuclear war between the US and Russia, which once again is a real possibility.

Trump was a peace president, as shown by his reaction to Iran shooting down an American plane when the State Department demanded retaliation, but Trump said no — didn’t want war with Iran over a single plane. In fact, it appears that Trump, while endorsing having a very strong military, really disparages the US getting involved in any kind of war, for I believe he sees war in general as a negative relative to economic prosperity as well as human life.

First thing Trump would do would be to end all financial and military support for the corrupt regime in Kiev, and he would make it very clear to NATO that the US no longer supported the proxy war, which means that NATO would also back down from it.

The world would breathe a sigh of relief that the nuclear threat would now subside.

Russia could attempt to reestablish amicable relations with Europe again, and Ukraine could begin to heal after the corrupt regime in Kiev is overthrown.

Ukraine

On the Brink

Biden, the neocons in the State Department, and NATO with their aggression pushing the Ukraine proxy war have us on the brink of nuclear war. Providing Ukraine with longer-range missiles that can hit well inside of Russia was the step too far. Ask yourself what the US would do if it were being hit with such long-range missiles? We would retaliate against those countries that provided the missiles.

The woke crowd used to push the narrative that we don’t want Trump’s finger on the nuclear button. Turns out Trump was the peace president who nixed the State Department’s hope for aggression toward Iran. But instead this woke president Biden has brought us to the brink.

We are in an extremely dangerous situation now relative to Russia, and yet all we get from the woke media is silence about that imminent danger. They don’t want you to know. It doesn’t fit the pro-Ukraine, anti-Russia narrative. Proxy wars are supposed to be painless for the West.

Ukraine

Finger on the Button

Remember before Trump was elected that the anti-Trump people put out the scare meme, Just think Trump having his finger on the nuclear button? But then when he was elected, he steered very clear of war, despite building up the military.

Now we have Biden actually playing nuclear chicken with the Russians by using Ukraine as the tool.

We were much safer with Trump, in my opinion.

Afraid

Outbreak of War

What the events that led to the outbreak of World War 1 in 1914 tell us is that diplomats can lose control of situations, which can escalate quickly and snowball out of anyone’s control.

World War 1 was a war that no one wanted, with the possible exception of Kaiser William II who had off-the-wall fantasies of glory in combat. Because of entangling alliances, once the dominoes started to fall, it was inevitable that the world was faced with not a local war but a world war.

It is a lesson that perhaps has been lost on today’s generation of diplomats that seem to be acting as if the nuclear threat were merely an innocuous abstraction that could never happen. But it can happen, and if certain events are set in motion mindlessly, it will happen of its own accord.

And so we will have another world war that no one wanted, but this time it will be the war that does end all war — and civilization as we know it.
