The Arabs and Muslims must remember the words of Martin Niemoller if they do not do anything to look after their interest. Here again is the quote: First they came for the communists.
And I did not speak out.
Because I was not a communist.
Then they came for the Socialists
And I did not speak out.
Because I was not a Socialist.
Then they came for the trade unionists.
And I did not speak out.
Because I was not a trade unionist.
Then they came for the Jews.
And I did not speak out.
Because I was not a Jew.
Then they came for me.
And there was no one left
To speak out for me.
(Substitute the Jews for Iran and you see the picture clearer)

Hope the Arabs and Muslims in the Middle East do not tempt fate like the North American Indians. It will be a wrong direction that they can never turn back if they do not wake up.
ReplyDeleteBoth Trump and Netanyahu needs this war with Iran to stay in power. They will strike at any time. It is also predestined, and the Arab and Muslim states will join Iran to finish Israel and American presence in the Middle East.
ReplyDeleteAmerica will lose at least two aircraft carriers and several warships and all the bases in the region, including Diego Garcia.
Netanyahu is going to Washington to meet Trump and will talk about how to deal with Iran. Yes, I do think a surprise attack on Iran is imminent. And Iran must never ever be taken in by the fake backtracking.
DeleteWhat is even more certain that an attack on Iran will come is the failure of Trump to blackmail Iran over the just concluded nuclear deal negotiation. Among the deal, I believe, was the demand that Iran surrender all the enriched uranium it still holds in its hands. This is not ever going to happen, and Iran is going to fight to the last over it.
As I said earlier even if the USA and Israel raze Iran to the ground, the result will still change the landscape of the Middle East beyond imagination. The Arab oil producers will suffer all the collateral damage of not being able to export their oil with the Straits of Hormuz and Bab Al-Mandab rendered impassable to traffic for ships. Boots on the ground in Iran to stop the Iranians totally is out of the question. The Iranians (aka Persians) are hardcore fighters, both in the past and today and the USA dread a guerilla war after Vietnam and Afghanistan. There is the Houthis to take care of as well.
So, let us just say Trump and Netanyahu are now between a rock and a hard place. Moreover, a full-scale war with Iran needs the approval of Congress and if Trump goes ahead without Congressional approval, he faces impeachment, clear and simple.
