Not only hysterical but farcical, Israel will be totally pissed off, this Hawk would turn Iran to glass along with Pakistan, should have been done years ago.
Iran gets $100 billion bonus of yours and mine hard earned for signing a document they will discard at will. Mohammed said it is O.K. to lie to the Infidel and Iran has been doing that the whole way and laughing at the West for being so weak.
I agree with all you say Pete but there's one thing missing. No-one in the West is prepared to go to war and they know this. To win, you have to think the unthinkable and be prepared to back it up.
Western leaders do not have a mandate for this in
our touchy feely New World Order, but I have a cunning plan.
Why not wait until they transgress and then strike swiftly? Why turn yourself into a nervous wreck assuming they will be the enemy until they prove (by actions) that they actually are? There' s no need for us to worry, the proxy security state in the Middle East (you know who) will be watching like hawks, why should we concern ourselves?
It's the same with DAESH. Let them have their Caliphate - let them all rush to populate their Nirvana, and then they'll all be in the same place which means........??? Why are we even arresting people leaving the country to go to Syria? If it were up to me, I would give them 1st class tickets and a slab of Pepsi, AND I would advertise it..
Why are we even fighting the idea that millions of zealots who wish only death and destruction on the West will eventually be in defined areas? If the populations of Iraq, Syria, North Africa don't want DAESH control, let them take up arms and fight against it. If they succumb, well God has spoken. What I am trying to say in a clumsy way, is that we cannot possibly hope to change events before they have even happened.
It is in our nature to give people the benefit of the doubt, so, as far as Iran is concerned, we should hope for the best and plan for the worst. Otherwise, endless rhetoric will spew forth and solve absolutely nothing...
So, all you Nuke operators, shift your targets from Moscow to Teheran
PS. Note to Boris Johnson - ship your water cannon to Calais!
