Iran is the exemplary case – in that Iran represents zero threat to the United States of America. Iran has never engaged in any hostile action on U.S soil. Nor has it even threatened the same.
To the contrary, Imperial Washington’s massive naval and military arsenal in the Middle East is the occupational force of a naked aggressor. Our presence has led to decades of mayhem throughout the region.
We’re still there in pursuit of the fool’s gold of “oil security,” though the neocons seem to have convinced themselves and some others that a demonic Iranian regime is more than worthy of absolute isolation.
But, as we’ve seen, the best cure for high oil prices is high oil prices – that is, the global market is the best way to reconcile imbalances of supply and demand. We don’t need the Fifth Fleet for that.
At the same time, the American people have no dogs in the political hunts of Imperial Washington’s so-called allies in the region.
We’d be no worse for the wear were the U.S. government to dispense with its idiotic sanctions regime against Iran’s oil industry and to allow all exporters in the region to produce and sell every single barrel they can extract.
The truth is, right now, the Donald is carrying water for Imperial Washington’s neocons, Bibi Netanyahu, and the Saudis. He doesn’t really understand what he’s doing. In the process, he’s betraying “America First”…
In recent days, he’s stepped back from the brink of an utterly unnecessary conflagration that could upend the global economy. But it’s worrisome that the President of the United States can be put together this way.
