Seems they are bent on destroying all the ancient civilizations to re-write history in their own image.

Really good post as usual!

I think we are putting to much attention to this "conflict". US and Israel just needed a scapegoat to cover up the 20 month genocide and Iran was the best excuse right now. I think Iran would never had been bombed if it wasnt for the genocide, they were never a real threat to the zio/us hegamony. This conflict is not helping Palestinans, the relentless slaughter goes on :(

Being some form of counter balance to the hegemony, a deterrent, is not the same as being a threat. Iran would always have needed put in its place according to the zionist mindset though, to avoid it becoming a threat or inspiration to others.

Iran is very overestimated as a country/power by muslims. They always played safe or outright colluded with western powers (iraq, syria, afg...). They never really played their role of being a real enemy to israel or the us. Thats why they were caught so off guard and wanted to end the war quick with diplomacy. I dont think they ever imagined being in this position they are now.

Even if that wasn't their main goal, it was certainly used as a distraction. They intensified the killing games near the 'aid' points during this choreographed war and it moved attention away.

There are three necessary conditions to being a powerful state actor in the modern world:

1) A prosperous (consumer or trade based) economy that can fund a strong military (US, China)

2) Integration and co-operation with other states (US, EU)

3) The successful pursuit of a nuclear deterrent.

Without these attributes, weaker (including all Muslim) states must either bend the knee to the strong, or become destroyed if they have the gall the resist.

'Car crash interview." I refused to be a party to rubbernecking on that one. Not sure what the proper Brits say. Rubbernecking refers to the act of slowing down or stopping to stare at something, often an accident or interesting event, while driving. It's a common, but potentially dangerous, distraction on the road. The term comes from the image of someone stretching their neck to get a better view.
