The Iranian Issue - a sick joke from a sick man

The Iran issue is all about a new nuclear deal that Trump wants desperately to put his name on, after unilaterally withdrawing from an earlier treaty just two to three years after it was in force, forged by Barack Obama. The Iranians are probably asking if this is a sick joke by a sick man that cannot even act rationally and thinking it is just a game. Intentionally withdrawing and now using force against Iran to sign another treaty in replacement is mentally insane.

Had Trump not withdrew from that earlier treaty; Iran would not have been forced into a corner and wanting to have a nuclear bomb today. The withdrawal of the earlier treaty was a ploy to enable the Israelis to attack Iran's nuclear facilities, nothing more. The most damaging outcome of the issue of Iran wanting the bomb is not lost on the Saudis. The Saudis have already stated that if Iran gets the bomb, Saudi Arabia will also have to follow suit. Now, this is bad news for Israel if it happens, which is why the USA and Israel are going all out to make sure Iran is never going to possess the bomb and open a can of worms.

At present, the Arabs and Muslim states cannot do anything. They are too weak, with the Arabs under the 'protection' and control of the USA and the poorer Muslim states behaving just like the Iraqis, Libyans, Syrians and Palestinians waiting for the sky to fall. How to blame them really. What happened with Iraq, Libya and Syria are what the Chinese used to saying - 'killing the chicken to teach the monkeys'.

The only plausible outcome is Iran getting all the support from Russia and China, which China has already done its part with the supply of weapons. China will step in where its national interest is threatened, and Iranian oil is in its national interest to protect. The Chinese went all in during the Korean War on the side of the North Koreans and in the Vietnam War on the side of the North Vietnamese. We may like to blame the Chinese for being too timid and passive, but history provides the reality. The USA knows this side of the Chinese character.
