Recently, a long time friend sent me an October 20215 article about a potential game changer. the discovery of large oil reserves on the Golan Heights in Israel.
The old Hebrew tale of woe, that centuries after the Hebrew Patriarch, Abraham, was divinely led into it, in the wake of the long nightmare of Egyptian bondage, Moses took the wrong turn to discover the Promised Land, the one with none of the region’s black gold, included in it, was finally proven wrong…
While good news of sorts, there’s much to be considered regarding these quite substantial reserves seeing actual development–not the least being that the Golsn contains the sources for most of Israel’s clean water supply, feeding the Sea of Galilee, and so forth.
As just one of too many other examples, think about what the massive oil spill resulting from the accident involving the Exxon Oil Company tanker, Exxon Valdez, did to Alaska’s pristine Prince William Sound ecosystem, decades ago, but still having adverse impacts today as a warning to what could possibly happen to Israel’s beautiful Golan…
Anyway, this exchange with Philip got me thinking about other oil related issues–the current war being waged against Iran’s genocidal mullahs, in particular.
In earlier times, the nefarious collusion of British petroleum politics and Arab nationalism (ARABISM) shafted some 41 million Kurds out of the one best chance they would get at achieving independence, while Arab nationalism managed to get almost two dozen states for itself, including one on almost 80% of the original 1920 Mandate of Palestine and known as Jordan today.
Most of the above were acquired, from the 7th century C.E. onwards, via the violent inperial caliphal jihadi conquests, colonization, settlement, and forced Arabization and Islamization of mostly NON-Arab native peoples’s ancestral homelands.
Philip and I next discussed what would be necessary to protect such oil from Israel ‘s numerous enemies.
As Israel has a highly effective Iron Dome missile defense system protecting its natural gas fields in the Mediterranean Sea, a modified version of this, along with its new Iron Beam, can be developed for the Golan as well.
Any attack launched by such foes must be answered exponentially, leaving, for example, Qatari natural gas and Iranian oil fields burning, and others as necessary. And of course the numerous Arab oil addicted sycophants will scream out for Jewish blood afterwards.
Jews are simply supposed to allow themselves to be targeted, with no meaningful response allowed.
The Donald has been far too rough on Israel and Prime Minister Netanyahu, and has repeatedly ignored the crucial role that the IAF played in the initial phases in plowing the Iranian air defenses and decapacitating the Ayatollah Supreme Leader and a dozen or more of his top officials, hundreds of IRGC and Basij fighters, and nuclear scientists long before Trump decided to enter into the fight—taking most of the most dangerous risks by itself…
The cold, hard reality is that this second term has seen him focusing more on profits to be made for his own and fellow billionaire friends’s real estate and construction interests in the region, in collaboration with his black African slaver, butcher Hamas loving autocratic Arab pals, so Israeli and the poor, oppressed Iranian people’s interests have been placed on the back burner or outright sacrificed.
Trump’s “mumbling some words does not change anything.
Unless things radically change, he has abandoned “unconditional surrender and totsl victory” for something far less—which will still leave the mullahs and their military strong enough to outlast his presidency and intimidate, murder, ànd execute its detractors and innocent protesters… and continue to fund and otherwise support its proxies, Hamas, Hizbullah, and so forth.
At a time when he continuously states Iran’s military is totally decimated, it continues to sneer at him, threaten his family, disrespect America, and receive ballistic missiles and other weaponry from the Chinese, North Koreans, Russians, etc.
That’s not totally decimated, Mr. President.
Trump still shouts his mantra focusing on squashing Iran’s nuclear goal… Great!
But numerous ballistic missiles or drones topped with poisonous gas canisters are still WMD, in anyone’s book…Just ask the Kurds.
He needs to obliterate these momzerim.
The IRGC and Basij must be treated like Nazi Waffen SS Stormtroopers and Gestapo–offering them the same mercy they showed their millions of victims.
The Donald needs to listen to his generals more, like Jack Keane, and former SoS Pompeo….
During WWII, President Harry S. Truman took heat on the domestic front because of the length of the war, losses, financial costs, and so forth.
But he stayed the course, launched powerful necessary ground operations, hunted down the enemy in conjunction with massive aerial bombardment, held war crimes trials, hung the main leaders, and wound up converting Nazi Germany and Imperial Japan into thriving democracies and allies of America today…
General Colin Powell’s Desert Storm military doctrine calls for swift, overwhelming force to leave the enemy breathless. This requires something more than aerial bombardment and naval blockades.
If Trump wasn’t really serious, he should not have entered the war…another costly Viet Nam or Afghanistan was not needed by our nation.
As a NPA Independent, I voted for him twice, and he had a great first term in office.
However, during this second time around, he has allowed his personal business interests to interfere with our military’s ability to achieve what HST did in Europe for ourselves and for the oppressed 93 million people of Iran as well— let alone the much better implications this would have for Israel and the mullahs’s neighbors.
This regime must not survive, and its terrorist IRGC and Basij must be completely destroyed.
The Donald and CIA and military intelligence should have been working together with loyal Iranian Artesh military forces, visceral opponents of the IRGC, to topple the mullahs.
The Artesh has deliberately been underfunded and deprived of weapons it should have received to keep them from staging a coup. Their top generals had already been killed off by the IRGC.
We needed to be find a way earlier to safely get supplies to their new leaders in order to assist in our own overwhelming ground operation to deliver the final blows.
The Iranian masses will then see that they weren’t going to be abandoned as they were too often before, and will join in the overthrow of their tormentors.
Iranians must see this as a multi-millennial, home grown victory achieved by themselves, their own proud, pre-Arabized/pre-Islamized Artesh military, supported by Israel and America–not one won achieved by what their enemies will label as Zionist and imperialist in nature.
Gulf Arab states—notably the worst in these regards, Qatar and Saudi Arabia—hsve convinced The Donald, for fear of Iranian retribution on their own oil and gas fields, to not pursue this war as it should have been fought, and while he may settle for policing the Strait of Hormuz and such for international shipping, the tyrannical regime will remain intact, with all the evil still remaining.
PATHETIC…
For all of his bloviating and bravado, he’s a wimp, puddy in his Arab business partner’s hands.
Strategic territory in the Gulf, not only Kharg Island, needed to be seized as spoils of war, and Iranian oil revenues need to pay for both Israeli and American costs that this defensive war against genocidal mullahs has cost them both.
As in WWII, when America had a TRUE war leader, not one focused upon how much money he and his friends could make as a result of his wartime business contacts, American civilian administrators, engineers, bureaucrats, and educators will be needed to assist Iran in its transition to true republican democracy or some other reasonable variation…
