Objectively speaking, among all the Islamic countries of
the world, Iran is possibly the most technologically advanced Islamic
country in the world today.
That Iran was not allowed to have
the nuclear bomb is all due to its nuclear treaty with the USA,
otherwise Iran could not have been less capable of having the bomb far
ahead of Pakistan, another major Islamic country.
Iran or
Persia, is a very old civilization from about 4000 BC, and is as old as
Chinese and Indian civilization. It is also rich in cultural heritage
and boasts a well-organized military establishment, even in the very
early days. The wars that it fought over the centuries probably held
back its progress in early stages, but that it is capable of rising to
greatness has not escaped the attention of the USA and the West. Hence
the USA and the West preoccupation in attempting to keep Iran on a
leash, held down as an Islamic State that can pose problems for the USA
and the West.
If my memory of history is not clouded, having
studied a little bit of history in the mid-fifties about the Persians
and their wars against the Greeks and Romans, it certainly is a
testament to its military prowess and a legacy it still holds today.
Such preoccupation with Iran by the West probably favoured the rise of
China in later years.
China was the least expected to rise to
such heights and according to Political Scientist John Mearsheimer,
China is now a 'peer competitor' that the USA had never faced before.
China is a competitor in every category - military, economic and
geopolitical influence, in fact all round competitor and is taking on
the USA in technology as well.

As old civilizations rise, the upstarts are getting nervous, paranoid and fearful.
The upstarts are desperate and coming together to help to keep the Hegemon remain relevant. It is all hands to the pump. And who are those doing that? None other than the Anglo-Saxon Imperialist clique and some fake Whites like Japan.
Japan was an Imperialist state without a doubt. Its ambition during WW2 to control Asia was never in doubt. It joined in the eight nations agenda to break China up into spheres of influence. Had it succeeded, Chinese in China will today be living in 'reservations' in the Tibetan desert. The Chinese race would be almost facing extinction due to genocides on the sly, like the Palestinians in Gaza.
Chinese should be thankful to Mao for chasing those barbarians out of China. The Communists should be given all the credit for what China has become today. Forget about political ideology, democracy versus socialism. Which system can deliver is more important. Which system can lift people out of poverty is more important. And Africa understands it better than most. The traitors in Taiwan are the real enemies of the Chinese people. Never forget that!
The USA is now running its money printing presses at warp speed, printing money furiously for Ukraine, Israel and Taiwan and making hay while the sun still shines. US$95 billion has be earmarked and approved, mainly for Ukraine and Israel.
Ukraine is already a lost cause and the USA is still flogging a dead horse, hoping it will stand up and run a race it already lost. The USA and the West is terrified of losing to Russia in Ukraine, as it means the end of the Anglo-Saxon hegemony.
More money is to help Israel complete its genocide campaign in Gaza. Even if that is over, will those Israeli settlements in Gaza find peace knowing that Hezbollah and the remnants of Hamas are a perennial threat. More money printing, more aid must be found to carry out a long campaign in Gaza.
