It’s a Great Time to Avoid WWIII
Last week, the Science and Security Board for the Bulletin of Atomic Scientists moved the hands of the Doomsday Clock forward: To 90 seconds. The closest it has ever been. This was done before Iran claimed to have been attacked by Israel.
We don’t know that Israel actually attacked Iran’s drone making facility or Iran’s Nuclear facilities. We don’t know for certain that any attack occurred at all. Iran claims teh Israeli attack did no damage. That itself is difficult to believe. But hey, Free Speech cannot be derailed. Iran, under continued protests from citizens within its borders would be ripe for a wag the dog false flag, to unite its citizens behind the current regime.
If Iran responds against Israel, well Israel is pretty capable of taking care of itself, So Iran will turn to Russia for help. Israel then turns to the USA for help, and WWIII is underway.
Except Russia has its hand full in Ukraine. It cannot support Iran against Israel. Russia cannot help anyone at this moment in time. This results in an opportunity to engage with Russian trade partners and further weaken/destabilize Russia. The U.S., with its European allies should be making overt offers to Russian allies, increase trade with them, and lower our dependency on China. The United States and its allies have nothing to lose by expanding economic foreign outreach, and everything to gain. Russia’s top ten allies are: Cuba, Germany, Venezuela, Syria, India, Azerbaijan, Armenia, Kazakhstan. Some of those countries we already have trade relations with. Germany is aiming to be energy independent from Russia by 2030. We can avoid WWIII by completely isolating Russia thereby weakening Iran, and perhaps creating stability in the Middle East. I don’t think Iran’s citizens will object. Go for it.
