I see now the White House is warning that Iran is close to having enough nuclear material to make a weapon. Well Doh! What did they expect, reversing the course that Trump was on with Iran sanctions. I don’t see Israel allowing Iran to get nukes. The next three years are going to be very dangerous indeed.

I'm pretty long in the tooth nowadays, and after a lifetime of fairly closely watching geopolitical events, and having read a fair bit about history, patterns emerge. One I noticed decades ago was "Huh, that's interesting, USA reminds me of Germany" as in Nazi Germany and the teutonic mores of Germany. General stereotype. It was only some years later that I learned that USA has a very large component of German ancestry. That explained it. They also have a large component of Irish ancestry such as the barbarian Biden. Irish like being drunk and fighting - yes, yes, a racist stereotype, but I was amused on my only visit to Dublin, Ireland in 2005 for several days to see drunk Irish men fighting on the street. So combine the IRA tendencies with the teutonic German authoritarianism and strict rules and it's not surprising that we get what we have done over decades. Of course it's not so simple as that, but it explains a lot. With Trump [Drumpf] = German and Biden and English-hating mother [let blood rain upon the English] IRA types, it's not surprising that they want to show Putin, Little Rocketman etc who is boss. I know I'm a total racist, but as a child, we had dogs around the village. My friend's and grandmother's fox terriers would fight hammer and tongs. My uncle's nice labrador type was a big happy non-fighter and only barked at a rat which the fox terrier chased out from under a shed for Tip [the big dog] to bite and kill. When Tip barked when the rat raced out under his legs, Grip [the foxie] came racing around from the other side realizing the rat was there, but the rat had taken off. Not all dogs and not all humans are made the same way. Albert Einstein was totally different from Mike Tyson and neither could be educated to be like the other. Dog breeds and human breeds are very very different. Now we have Putin, a KGB Killer, versus Biden [an IRA killer] and his Nazi gang ready to rumble. Team USA thinks they can keep the attack on Russia to a local skirmish which they can easily win, and take back Crimea and load Ukraine with weapons ready to attack Moscow to finish off what the Nazis started in Barbarossa, and the British before in the Charge of the Light Brigade, and Napoleon in the 1812 Overture attack on Moscow. Not to mention WWI. The plan is get Crimea, chuck Russia out of Sevastopol and the Black Sea making it safe again for Jihadist expansion and the Golden Horde to Belt and Road their way back across Asia all the way to Europe. Putin is aware of history and has got a full metal jacket array of mirved ICBMs ready to go. He can't win an attrition of local skirmishing but he can go MAD. Does USA really want to cease to exist to take over Sevastopol. There's something suicidally marauding about some people, They must win or die in the attempt. Hitler died in his bunker. Saddam was dragged out of his spider hole in the ground and hung. Gadaffi suffered We Came, We Saw, He died = cackle cackle cackle. Victoria Nuland and Yulia and Zbigniew's harpie daughter will love to see Russia razed = women do NOT like peace, light, harmony, happiness, health, prosperity, longevity, fun and love. They LIKE to see men fighting and dying and mating with the murderous alpa males. Not all of course, but like fox terriers, there is considerable pattern. School shooting are a phenomenon in the USA but not in other well-armed countries around the world. It's a fox terrier phenomenon, a cultural norm, a response to bullying by loners, or domination by murderous bullies. It seems a related phenomenon. For comparison, Indians don't seem like that [the southern Hindu breeds = not the hot under the collar Pakistani jihad fox terrier types]. Note that Belligerent Angry Senile Biden is particular to emphasize that USA soliders will NOT be in Ukraine and will NOT be fighting Russian soldiers. They will pay and supply Ukrainians and anyone else they can get to do it for them. Russians might get annoyed after a while and point out that whether it's a paid Ukrainian or American, it's really the same. When the Mafia orders a hit by a contractor, it's still the Mafia doing the hit. When Hitler got Vichy France authorities and Quislings in general to ship Jews to Auschwitz, it was Berlin that needed the bombing. Berlin was pounded good and hard. Russia knows who is directing the attack. They will have their vengeance before they go down for the count. It won't be much satisfaction for incinerated Americans that Russia has been obliterated. Russia is a big place so there would be swarms of survivors. But China and Jihadists from the south would probably take over. Do Euroserfs really want the Golden Horde back raiding their villages? Or Moslems. Don't depend on it being just a local fight for Sevastopol and Crimea. Novichok can get on door handles anywhere, and polonium 210 could get into tea in Peoria. An aerosol of it on meat in a supermarket would be very annoying. Or just in the water supplies. It must be frustrating for Lavrov to have Truss not even able to hear his points let alone understand and respond in a rational way. When reason fails, it doesn't leave many options. She just chants stupid slogans and fixed talking point. Remember my favourite slogan = Don't let a slogan do your thinking for you. A slogan is not thinking. "Russia Russia Russia" is not reasoning. Here's the answer. Hold a referendum in the disputed eastern parts of Ukraine and have the local yokels in each bit vote for independence or being part of Russia or Ukraine. Crimea was decided long ago. We are in favour of democracy aren't we all? Let the locals decide. Like Scotland, Quebec, Brexit etc. Johnson was okay with Brexit so how about Ukrexit. Mqurice
