It seems that it may be possible to clear up the Middle East mess and return the world to a stable economic position by abstaining from joining in the defence of the Gulf of Hormuz. All we have to do is tighten our belts and wait. Trump must back down. Oh yes, he threatens to withdraw from NATO if other countries don’t back his plans, but can he really afford to make more mistakes?
It is not a new concept that China is seeking economic control of the world, and in this way world domination with its attendant values and philosophies. Even brief comparison with Americaland and Trump’s henchmen throws up some strong ‘anti’ approaches recently shown by Americaland’s military and rhetoric.
Pete Hegseth states that Americaland wants to throw away the rules of engagement. It is not surprising really is it? The last win that Americaland can celebrate is the carpet bombing of German cities, and their residents, in World War Two. In cahoots with Israel at this present time, Americaland, I suggest, is jealous of Israel because its people largely seem to support mass killing in Palestine and Lebanon in order to reach the true targets; at least we are told that terrorists are the true targets. If we give any credence to ‘One man’s terrorist is another man’s freedom fighter’, not only should we believe that overthrowing the Iranian Government and leadership is terrorism, but also that Israel may view all non-Israelis as terrorists. For ‘terrorist’ read ‘anyone that seeks to overthrow any other sovereign state’.
Americaland, I suggest, really wants to bomb the heck out of Iran with ‘Tremendous’ force. Let’s face it, if we take away emotion and empathy we can see that levelling Iran and then waiting for the bomb-shocked ‘nice’ people to come out of the rubble, would work to produce a different country.
I suggest that Trump and Pete Hegseth might think that levelling Germany produced the fine country that West Germany later became, along with, that is, the continued occupation and influence of the allies. And, there may be a case for that, if the only comparison that can be made is the Soviet influence on East Germany from a victor’s point of view, and with those victors in WWII purporting to be democratic in nature.
Yet, this line of thinking, if it really is held by Trump’s Government, should automatically hold Ukraine as being in need of salvation. Indeed, there are some ideas that Putin is fighting the Americanese (fascist)influence in East Ukraine from the 1980s.
It seems that Trump has recognised he has no exit strategy to a poor series of decisions and hitting Iran ‘for the fun of it’ is all the Americanese Government can come up with. Iran has nothing to lose, it’s raison d’etre is to exist as they believe their God has told them to do. If they suffer, it is the will of their God or their religious leader. Bombing the heck out of Kharg Island, occupying it, or disabling its facilities merely excites Iran to hit all the oil refineries in surrounding countries. It can easily do this with tens of thousands of drones still left, and a high production rate of the same.
So, since Trump is keen to ‘Make America Great Again’ by economic means, it seems that helping Trump out of his self-imposed desperation, assisting Governments must use the same deck of cards he has been playing with. Any country that is reliant on the oil that comes from the Gulf of Hormuz, and has suffered economic damage, from not being able to receive that oil due to Trump’s crass actions, MUST ask for economic reparations from Americaland before they commit any ships to clearing the threats that Iran has shown us it will carry out. Further, the cost of supplying ships, material, and military personnel MUST be recovered from the Americanese Government.
I wouldn’t mind if all the countries with high tariffs, on any of the goods they export to Americaland, boost the amount they would need to join in with policing the Gulf of Hormuz.
I feel that Iran would accept these demands from countries assisting Americaland to extract itself, as being representative demands from neutral countries, and not necessarily Trump or Americaland allies. After all, the end result is that Iran cracks on with whatever they were doing; Americaland is thoroughly humiliated and cannot pose an immediate threat without NATO saving it (Americaland), and Trump is pilloried as being a bombastic bully with no support outside of, what most of the world is now realising, a whole bunch of brainwashed fascists. Iran wins with Americaland’s own goal, and Americaland gets relegated to the ‘evil’ league. A grand event of swapping positions based wholly on a world-wide democratic vote.
‘Americaland’ is the United States of America, and ‘Americanese’ is a term I use to mean the population of Americaland. America includes Canada and Chile and Argentina. American people are Canadian, Mexican, Ecuadorean, Columbian, and Peruvian as well as Paraguayans, Bolivians, and all the people born in the rest of the countries in the south of America; unless that is, the Gulf of Hormuz is about to become the Gulf of Trump; if the rest of the world helps him seize it; then the world will be forded to finally accept that American people are exclusively people from the United States of America.
