Strikes on Iranian nuclear facilities are being seriously considered within the Donald Trump transition team, according to the Wall Street Journal. While there is no proof Tehran is trying to make a nuclear weapon, Washington and Tel Aviv are threatening to attack Iran’s nuclear energy infrastructure.
“The military-strike option against nuclear facilities is now under more serious review by some members of his transition team,” the WSJ explained. “Iran’s weakened regional position and recent revelations of Tehran’s burgeoning nuclear work have turbocharged sensitive internal discussions, transition officials said.”
Tel Aviv is undergoing a similar debate. “The Israel Defense Forces believes that following the weakening of Iranian proxy groups in the Middle East and the dramatic fall of the Bashar al-Assad regime in Syria, there is an opportunity to strike Iran’s nuclear facilities,” the Times of Israel reported on Thursday. Adding, “The Israeli Air Force has therefore continued to increase its readiness and preparations for such potential strikes in Iran.”
According to WSJ, President-elect Trump and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu have recently discussed potentially attacking Iran. “Trump has told Netanyahu in recent calls that he is concerned about an Iranian nuclear breakout on his watch.” The report continues, “The president-elect wants plans that stop short of igniting a new war, particularly one that could pull in the US military.”
The sources explained that the administration is considering two options. The first is bolstering American military presence in the Middle East while providing Israel with the ability to destroy Iranian nuclear sites without US assistance. The other option calls for American threats to force Tehran to make concessions at the negotiation table.
Whichever option Trump chooses, he is also expected to increase sanctions on Iran given his belief that he must economically cripple Tehran.
While the US intelligence community, the IAEA, the Pentagon, and Tehran all say Iran is not developing nuclear weapons, the incoming Trump administration and Tel Aviv say they are concerned the Islamic Republic will obtain a nuke. Additionally, Trump believes Tehran was behind an assassination attempt on his life.
However, Trump and Netanyahu may perceive Iran as weak, given Bashar al-Assad’s ouster in Syria and Hezbollah’s concessions in its truce with Israel. Emboldened by recent events, Washington and Tel Aviv could attempt to strike Iran, believing Tehran is vulnerable.
Mark Dubowitzchief executive of the Foundation for Defense of Democracies, told WSJ, “If you were going to actually do something to neutralize the nuclear-weapons program, this would be it.”
On Wednesday, Netanyahu published a video on X in English telling the Iranian people that regime change may come a lot sooner than many people think.

Russia and Iran will soon sign a mutual aid defense agreement. This saber-rattling by Israel and the US will likely accelerate that signing. Once it is done, Iran will have the protection of Russia's nuclear weapons. And I don't believe either Israel or the US has plans to launch an attack on Russia's nuclear weapon systems.
Don't bet on it. Now that Syria has collapsed these idiots think of themselves as world beaters and they are just crazy enough to think that they can take on Russia too.
I theorize many Muslims in Syria will begin to feel their oats in time. That there will be a problem.
That's the plan.
True! But how many of those Russian Tsar 200 million tons of TNT bombs would it tske to set Isrsel back a decade or two….?????
The two have already agreed to sign such an agreement. The sooner, the better.
All of the collateral stuff going on is aimed at taking out Russia, a country with 6,000 nuclear warheads and technology to deliver them without being shot down.
Nuclear weapons with 4000 times explosive force of U.S. & NATO ones!!! With hypersonic or stealth torpedos. BIG RIDK risk to run for an Apartheid Welfare Queen
The explosive force differential is irrelevant; both sides have sufficient nuclear capacity to end human life on earth.
4000 times??? Nope. That is just fantasy.
There IS no nuclear weapons program …
Indeed … Israeli people cannot wait to get rid of Nuttyyahoo …
The Pentagon (recently) has said that Iran does not have a nuclear weapons program.
Most of Israeli society are for the attack, no matter who is the Prime Minister.
That is a shame. Iran having nukes would have kept Israel in check.
No. Iran would have nuked Israel because radical Muslims like the Ayatolla don't care if they get hit back in retaliatuon.
Hatred of Jews is pouring out of your words. A pleasant feeling?
First, being 'radical' does not mean 'suicidal', 'irrational', etc. Second, as I often have to remind people, Israel has the 3rd holiest site in Islam. If Iran really did "nuke" a significant area of the region, it would impact on Jerusalem (al-Quds) and the rest of the Islamic world would turn on Iran faster than you can say salaam. As for you, you're projecting 66mm.
That’s why Israeli society which is really comprised of a tribe of illegal occupiers should be shunned and isolated by the rest of the world
Destroy Iran's nuclear sites whilst ignoring (and protecting) Israel's.
Nice.
Unfair play…
Putin will tell Trump ….no I believe.
Well, the last thing the world needs is more nuclear weapons in more countries. But, on the other hand, Iran would be crazy if they weren't racing to build a functional nuclear weapon. This is the catch-22 we* find ourselves in: Damned is we do, damned is we don't.
*"We" meaning the world in general, and Iran in particular.
Iran has so far calculated that it’s better to be a threshold state than a fully nuclear state: most of the deterrence and much less of the security headache. Basically they have said don’t attack us or we’ll go the rest of the way. It’s worked so far …
North Korea.
I believe the Russians and Iranians are setting traps for both regimes. China and Russia will not allow for Iran to be destroyed or hit. The last attack by Israel was a failure and not one IAF terrorist was able to get into Iranian airspace because Russian weapons on the ground were locked onto them. The ME needs more Russian weapons to subvert and destroy Israel's ability to wreak terror and mass murder everywhere.
Makes me wonder what Iran might be considering. I’ll just check out Press TV in English and see.
So far,Iran is playing close to the vest. Very quiet.
It is more important to wonder what our own powers that be might be considering. Iran certainly has the right to consider its options of self-defense also.
The most interesting idea I've seen is Russia establishing a Naval Base on the Iranian coast.
Should be a hoot.
Good Possibility…!
I'm waiting to see how the base at Tartus, Syria goes.
I'm beginning to think of the Navy's surface fleet as obsolete because of Russia's introduction of hypersonic missiles. Their ships are just as vulnerable as ours, and it makes me wonder how much value a base in Persia would be.
It would be of great value in reigning down Russian ordinance from the air on the Al Quaeta invaders of Syria!!!!!
Good point, and I wouldn't be surprised to learn that the Russians see this the same way.
My idea would be to place Russian vessels there as a tripwire for Israel, in the manner of placing a chip on one's shoulder.
There’s a long history of neighbor wars there and Iranians generally have an aversion to foreign bases on their soil, esp Russian ones.
There's a short history of Brix going around. There's movement away from the assholes who've ruled the USA for 50+ years. Perhaps other changes in alignments might occur when people reckon with the fact that most of modern history has been molded by assholes from CIA and MI6.
It sounds like a Trump deal's opening gambit, open BIG.
This is the "peace through strength" we've been hearing about. So much for a different second term.
We need Donna here…!
;-}….
There IS no STRENGTH, Just Bullshit!!!!! All the true strength resides in East, RUSSIA &. CHINA have it!!! With unstoppable hypersonic missiles & Super Nukes 4000 times more explosive force than U.S. or NATO nukes!!! 750 thousand tons of TNT ve 200 million tons!!! Think what $750,000 will buy vs whar $200 million dollars will buy to realize the difference!!!!
Another words Paper tigering…!
Same Iraqi playbook. US/UK/Izzy will begin soft target attacks. Iran’s mullahs will blink and rush to make a desperate deal. The attacks will stop until the next administration steps in and begin the process all over again. By then, senior members died of old age, and the country is stuck with young brash leadership to make major mistakes on their way out.
I don't think so. Iranian leaders have observed what happened in Iraq (which was a U.S. asset at one time), Libya, and now Syria (also a U.S. asset at one time).
Like Kissinger said, to be an ally of the U.S. can be fatal. So, Iran had better belay the idea of getting cozy with the U.S.
Different administration, same imperialist agenda. Trump was never serious about ending the wars. He almost started a nuclear one during his first administration with North Korea. Trump also escalated tensions with Iran and wanted to stay forever in Iraq and Afghanistan. He has already proven himself to be the most unhinged and anti-constitutionalist president to ever enter the White House. His second term will be ten times worse.
Lets just hope for a disfunctionsl administration. The. noises coming out of Trump’s appointees are not promissing.
Many people voted for Trump with noses pinched, and eyes wide shut. It is sad that the only way we can introduce needed reforms is by unleashing a lose cannon in the deck.
The most damaging thing that Trump did was to withdraw from the Intermediate range Nuclear Forces treaty. That was like cocking a pistol and pointing it at the people of Russia.
He broke a treaty without cause, and did it without the advice and consent of the Senate. No individual should ever have that much unchecked power. And yet, he received very little pushback on something that is literally of life and death consequence to the nation.
Morons.
Maybe Iran will contribute $1 million as a ‘peace’ offering to the Trump inauguration fund just like the megalomaniacs Bezos and Zuckerberg did
Ho, ho , ho, More wars. More money spent. More enemies. Money for meddling into every single country on earth internal affairs being printed, and redefined as borrowing from social security, the one called “unfunded mandate”. In fact is a very soecific tax funding it. And probably one of the few separately funded mandates.
We should have this system for everything. War tax. We are still in Iraq and Libya, so two war taxes. Ukraine war tax, Israel war tax. And the list is not complete elwithout China war tax to cover exoenses for Taiwan. Now Iran war tax.
Yes, more expensitures nust be paid for administering Cuba sanctions. and extensive sanctions and exceptions amounting to thousands upon thousands of sanctioned goods, entities and persons. Somebody must manage that.
Then tax for all bases around the world. May be if we tax accordinly all these trully unfunded mandates, then social security fund will not be raided. And we just may have to prioritize and chose what to tax for. Incidentally, what happens to tarrifs? Where does this money go?
No wonder debt is pilling up. Could not we just be a regular power without policing every nook and cranny of planet earth. Does not look like peace on earth is in cards any time soon.
I like the idea of designating how much tax is driven by war. It would give taxpayers a symbol to rally around… which is why they'll probably never do it.
How many missiles does Iran actually possess and how many will be launched during an attack? As for Trump he has a forked tongue. I think Iran will survive.
Is it possible that Russian President Vladimir Putin will supply Iran with a battery of Oreshnik missiles manned by Russian technicians?
If we're led to believe that Belarus will receive those missiles, is Moscow's relationship with Iran's Ayatollah Khomeini as close?
Belarus is a Russian imperial satrapy — in fact, it’s in a “union state” with the Russian Federation. Lukashenko knows that his survival — political and personal — is completely and entirely subject to remaining in Putin’s good graces. Its policy decisions are made in Moscow, not Minsk. Belarus won’t be “receiving” Oreshniks; Russia will be operating its own Oreshniks, pursuant to its own policy, from its colonial possession’s soil.
Iran may have mutually beneficial relations with Russia to a significant degree, but its policy decisions are made in Tehran, not Moscow. And Tehran can’t have helped noticing that Russian weapons systems in Syria were operated pursuant to Moscow’s policies, not Damascus’s. They’d be unlikely to indebt themselves to Russia for the presence of missiles that remain entirely under Russian control, any more than Putin would have agreed that Tehran got to retain operational control of the drones Tehran sold him for the Ukraine war.
"Belarus is a Russian imperial satrapy — in fact, it's in a "union state" with the Russian Federation. Lukashenko knows that his survival — political and personal — is completely and entirely subject to remaining in Putin's good graces. Its policy decisions are made in Moscow, not Minsk."
Lukashenko's other option is to align with the west. This would give us the following scenario:
Belarus is a Washington/Brussels imperial satrapy — in fact, it will likely be in a "union state" with the European Union. Lukashenko knows that his survival — political and personal — is completely and entirely subject to remaining in Washington's good graces. Its policy decisions are made in Washington, not Minsk.
Lukashenko's options are constrained by geopolitical realities.
Correct. The states in that region have the choice of being Russian imperial satrapies or US/EU/NATO imperial satrapies. Neutrality isn’t an option for them.
Do I wish the Russian empire and the US/EU/NATO empire would simmer down and quit doing their “Great Game” stuff? Sure. But I’m not surprised they don’t. To the extent that I have a preference in the matter, I’d rather see the US/EU/NATO empire fuck off with its “color revolutions” and proxy wars, letting Putin preserve a “near abroad” buffer zone — he seems to have understood since the beginning that he’s presiding over the decline of the Russian empire, and to simply operate on the premise of slowing that decline down, while the US/EU/NATO empire still has expansionist fantasies.
The Russian “empire” will probably outlast the American. The American is overextended, spanning the globe. The Russian “empire” is sitting on its home territory. The east European nations need to remind themselves that eventually the US will have to go home. The Russians are already at home and won’t be going anywhere. Lukashenko made the right choice in picking a side.
I won’t be surprised if the US/EU/NATO empire collapses before the Russian empire does. Like I said, political class leaders of the former clearly still entertain expansionist fantasies, while Putin has, for the most part, just tried to slow the latter’s decline as best possible. The conquest/absorption and imposition of a quisling regime in Chechnya turned out to be difficult, but between then and the Ukraine fiasco, he didn’t make a lot of military mistakes. Slapping down Georgia’s attempts to seize South Ossetia and Abkhazia went well and provided a cautionary note to anyone else who wanted to to screw with Russia or its “near abroad” that the west should have paid attention to vis a vis Ukraine.
Lukashenko made the choice to remain alive and probably relatively comfortable. I can’t say I blame him for choosing life as a toady over a tragic accidental fall from a window or whatever.
I suspect that Russia will do whatever it takes to prevent NATO from moving into any country that borders Russia. So, Belarus will have whatever Russia can provide.
I also have the sense that USAID is working feverishly to achieve stir up trouble 𝒏𝒐𝒘 in Belarus, Romania, Georgia, and other countries with the goal of trying to weaken Russia and/or overthrowing elected governments in the same way they did in Ukraine.

Iran could have produced a nuclear arsenal years ago. Why was that not done? Because of the Fatwa against producing even a single nuclear weapon.
I understand that a Fatwa is absolutely binding. A kind of direct order from Allah.
Bombing Iran's nuclear sites now is therefore a war crime.
Regime change in Iran must and will come from its own people. Bombing Iran now will be the most stupid act imaginable. Like the attack by Iraq many years ago, it will anger the people into supporting their awful regime, hence delay the transition of Iran's governance from medieval to the 21st century.
People who live in glass houses shouldn't throw stones.
“I understand that a Fatwa is absolutely binding. A kind of direct order from Allah.”
Not even close. In Islam, the only “direct orders from Allah” come via his prophets (of whom Muhammad was the final one) and the Quran.
A fatwa is simply the non-binding opinion of an Islamic jurist.
What makes Khamenei’s fatwa binding on the Iranian regime is that he is that regime’s political Supreme Leader, not that he has a red phone on his desk which allows him to directly contact Allah for instructions. The latter claim would be, in effect, blasphemy.
President-elect Donald Trump has said that he "vehemently" disagrees with the US supporting long-range missile strikes inside Russian territory, which President Biden authorized last month.
"I disagree very vehemently with sending missiles hundreds of miles into Russia. Why are we doing that?" Trump said in an interview with Time Magazine for an issue that named him Person of the Year.
When they tell you there is no difference.
The difference is that he disagrees with everything his predecessor does — until he does exactly the same thing.
I do expect him to take a slightly different approach on this particular one, though — he’ll try to offer Putin a “deal” where the US doesn’t provide long-range missiles to Ukraine if Russia does or doesn’t do something in return.
Trump is a fountain of verbiage. Sometimes I think his rotundity is trapped hot air.
A problem with both men is that what they say and what they do are not necessarily the same thing.
That said, Biden never saw an opportunity to send other people's boys to war that he didn't like.

Nothing in the ME will change until the World stops blaming Syria, Iraq, Iran, Libya, Africa, Lebanon, etc., for the wars started by Israel, with the help of Europe/USA/UK. I listened today to more stall and kill speeches by Jordan, Turkey, etc., about stabilizing Syria, so there can be peace in the region, you have got to be insane to believe these traitors. Not a word about Israel's Genocide of the Palestinians, they were putting all the blame on Assad. For DECADES, who is the Illegal Occupier? Who starves children? Who slaughters children with tons of bombs? Who poisons the water, deprives people of water? Who bombs schools, hospitals, civilians in Gaza, Syria, Lebanon? Who imprisons children, raping them? Everything is Assad's fault? What planet are we on, when Leaders blatantly LIE to cover the crimes of their INACTION and the crimes of the Actions of the US, Europe and the Terrorist State of Israel. Trump is Biden, there is no difference, sadly I feel for his "peace" stance in 2016, but he is a ZIONIST! Zionism is a cancer and anyone can be infected, including Iranians, Turks, Syrians, Lebanese and I hope that is NOT what we are seeing develop.
Israel is a disease on the planet's backside. They are the party which has spread war propelled by a lust for the annihilation of all of their neighbors. Their outright racism and hatred for the Palestinian people is there for any without blinders to see.
My loathing for the US politicians who have sold this country down the river to the Israeli ruling junta grows by the day.
Israel will not sign the Non Nuclear Proliferation Treaty and will not allow inspections of its Dimona Nuclear Processing facility.
Foundation for Defense of Genocide is a more accurate name for that "foundation."
“The president-elect wants plans that stop short of igniting a new war, particularly one that could pull in the US military.”
There is the crucial bit.
Let the wankers in his cabinet have their bullshit session on art of World War 3. Just as long as Tucker Carlson gets the last word, Trump won’t get bamboozled.
At least Luigi only killed one human. How many will Trump kill (has killed)?
https://foreignpolicy.com/2017/08/09/donald-trump-is-dropping-bombs-at-unprecedented-levels/
Oh Boy! Here we go. Express train to WWIII!.!!!!!!! Does anyone think China & Russia will be O.K. with this?
And here goes the incoming peace president. That was all a mirage anyway.
The greatest threat to the world is not Iran but the USA and Israel.
Basic math.
Trump the blowhard.
More shenanigans and malarkey coming out of Wash. with the new MYSTERY DRONES psyops.
This stunt, whatever it is, is most probably to keep people's minds off what's going on with the ongoing genocide in Palestine and the new war of destruction in Syria committed by the usual gang of idiots in Tel Aviv and Wash. (Hey look! a squirrel is euthanized by the gov. Hey look! drones over New Jersey and spreading.) This is government by sleight of hand, obviously.

Interview on with George Galloway
about Syria et al…
The US and its Neocon(artist) political hacks can talk tough but no one is hitting Iran's nuclear sites. Iran now has the necessary weapons to destroy both US and Israeli aircraft and then lay waste to the Zionist regime in Tel Aviv. Furthermore I suspect that sooner than later Iran will be under the Russian nuclear umbrella. China Russia and Iran have been expecting this for years regarding this scenario.
If the USA decides to attack Iran, those Iran anti aircraft missiles will be destroyed on day 1 of the attack.
In your dreams…American aircraft as well as Israeli will be shot down and deservingly so. The US has not encountered a country with the weapons that can dismantle and destroy its ships and aircraft. Furthermore while you were sleeping, Russia and China have been war gaming this laughable Israeli and US scenario. Be prepared for TelAviv to look like Gaza if such a vainglorious and stupid move is attempted.
Put the terror regime in its place
Yes, Israel delenda est.
The Israelis are the biggest terrorists in the region, The numbers don't lie. Israel is committing genocide.
And is Iran any better?
Yes, Iran hasn’t killed tens of thousands of civilians in an obvious land grab.
Iran never stole another people’s homeland.
"While there is no proof Tehran is trying to make a nuclear weapon,"
Why are you embarassing yourself with such a false statememt ?
The evidence is conclusive. The issue is only HOW close Iran is to enrichng Uraniam 90 %. But Mossad probably knows that too.
No idea how Israel does it but it probably sends Iranian Jews who immigrated to Israel years ago d who became are nuclear-physics educated. They speak the language, etc.
Not so long ago the Iranian government set up a commission to seek out Israeli spies in the nuclear domanin. It soon turned out that one of the members o THAT commision was an Israeli spy! – LOL
Fyi Israel cant talke any chances because one nuke – and no Tel Aviv.
Israel would of course retaliate but the problem is that fanatical Islamists like the Ayatollah don't care if his people are dispatched to Allah in droves.
Last time the CIA or Mossad commented on an Iranian nuclear weapons program, they held that no such program has existed since, at the very latest, 2004.
Encriching uranium CAN be part of a nuclear weapons program, but it’s not a nuclear weapons program. The Iranians have been quite open about the fact that until and unless the US returns to the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action, they’ll feel free to enrich uranium as much as they like.
Well. at least I can say that bullshit is conclusive.
Hey Goran,
Israel is the ONLY country in the Middle East with nuclear weapons – hundreds of them. Iran's nuclear weapon count equals exactly ZERO.
Is Trump that Stupid…?!
Is that a rhetorical question?… ;-}
No… he would look hypocrite and stupid if he goes against his campaign promises and rants…!
Trick question?
Not really…! Trump does not want to be called Genocide Don or War President…!
The Palestinian terrorist group Hamas inflated the death count from the war in Gaza, including natural deaths and cancer patients in the data — and global media outlets faithfully reported the exaggerated totals to vilify Israel.
That’s the conclusion of a new report by the Henry Jackson Society, which is based in the United Kingdom but named for the legendary Sen. Henry Jackson (D-WA), an hawkish Democrat known for his anti-communist foreign policy.
https://henryjacksonsociety.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/12/HJS-Questionable-Counting-%E2%80%93-Hamas-Report-web.pdf
@dr blatz @dreamjoehill2:disqus I looked through the report. It's a whitewash for Israeli crimes.
Forget that HJS is a neocon Zionist apologist for Israel and its authors and researchers are shills for Israel. The report is skewed, bias and misleading.
It questions the veracity of the Palestinian Ministry of Health because its "a party in the conflict…" but shamelessly uses Israeli sources as if they are accurate or to be trusted. The report assumes that males between the ages of 15-45 are Hamas fighters. It knit picks mistakes that are made in the fog of war knowing very well that Israel's destruction of those functioning institutions is a goal of destroying civil society. It rationalizes Israel's claims of dead Hamas fighters by saying many youth have joined its ranks indicating that the numbers are accurate, while the opposite is true; they killed so many civilians that more and more youth are signing up to join Hamas to get revenge. Even then the 17k number given is still 1/3 of the the Palestinians killed. As if the kill ratio of 2 civilians to one combatant is an acceptable one in the CASE OF GAZA (i.e., densely populated area, etc.). The report is so petty that it claims natural deaths and cancer patients are included in the total count. Even if that's true how can they disprove that those deaths were accelerated by the war, lack of medical care, failures to grant visas for outside treatment, etc.? There are other nonsensical points like pointing out that while checking lists they discovered some 120 something names listed as female when in actually they were male. All these discrepancies don't amount to anything significant that would change the basic numbers and in this case its doesn't take into account that many some Arabic names are both masculine and feminine which would offset these trivial numbers in the other direction.
This report is just propaganda to try to mislead the public.
Hey Bob, you're lyin' for Zion, you fqing genocidal pig.
I’m reporting about a study you disagree with, that’s all. If you have better info, form an unbiased source bring it.
Hi Bob.
You're asserting that the invasion casualty count is overestimated and cite a notorious Zionist propaganda outfit as your "evidence."
So yes, you're a genocide rationalizer, IOW, complete scum.
Um, so you do not have a better unbiased source, check.
I didn’t bother to read your vile Zionist propaganda, war crimes lover.
Remain in your dream Joey.
Stop being a genocide supporter, Bobby.
Projection, Hamas booster.
You really are a shameless liar.
Hamas is not committing genocide, asshole.
Israel is.
Death to Zionism!
More fatuous projection, up your game or tap out.
LOL. You wouldn’t know a sound argument if it punched you in the head, MAGAT.
MAGAts are always proclaiming victory, even when they’ve been thrashed like you have.
You’re over the hill joe, dream on.
That’s half right and half-assed all at once.
dreamjoe prefers insults to facts.
I am totally down with you about the Zios but as a Christian woman, which I am… I love everyone, the best I can. I do get angry about Wars…. I am a peace activist and a Christian but not a born again Zio.!
;-}
It’s true that I’m very aggressive in confronting supporters of Israel’s war crimes.
Quite frankly, I don’t love them, at all.
They should pick out 140 square miles of Israel territory and pack it with 2.3 million people, a majority of women and children to make it realistic. Then drop 80,000 tons of bombs on those people over the next 14+ months and don't let enough food and medicine in to support the lives of anywhere near 2.3 million people and sustain that for 14+ months also. Then have the Henry Jackson Society people go in to count the dead.
Sen. Henry Jackson (D-WA), a hawkish pro Israeli politician who offered the neocon space to flourish in Democrat party and sabotaged Carter's policies ,worked against American interest by making American middle east policy hostage to Israeli interest. Those neocons will change clothes and join Reagan. Those neocons would leave GOPand join Clinton . Those neocons will move back to Bush then to Biden . Always Israel in their minds. Jacksom society and PNAC signatories live in the same morally corrupt politucal space .

The Middle East has always been and always will be a bane for Euro-America.
Trump and Co. think that it can win with its overwhelming military power.
However, that's a big mistake. The amount of money needed to match its stupid policy has been bankrupting America and it will only get worse. Short of nuclear weapons, which still can't wipe out all of its perceived enemies, the resistance to America is gaining strength on a daily basis. Even if it weakens or defeats the shia axis od resistance the Sunni resistance is waiting in the wings to fill the gap. And a distinct possibility is some sort of cooperation between the Sunnis and Shiates to kick out Israel and Euro-America from the Middle East. You know, the old adage "My brother and I against my cousin. My cousin and I against the stranger."
Good bit of wisdom Ashraf….
This is pure British neoconservative propaganda. If it comes from the Wall Street Journal take with a shaker of salt.
