COMMENT POSTED TO AN ARTICLE IN THE INDEPENDENT



“Boris Johnson says UK could join Trump in military action against Iran after Saudi Arabia attack

“'We think it very likely indeed that Iran was responsible,' says PM on way to New York, standing by US president's threat of action 'to defend Saudi'”



My, is there a single British Prime Minister now who ever speaks a word of truth?

There is absolutely no basis for Boris Johnson’s statement about Iran.

He’s only echoing what Washington blathers on about in defense of its murderous ally, the Saudi Crown Prince.

The attack on Saudi oil facilities was highly embarrassing for the United States, making it look inept.

So, Washington is quite angry.

Admitting that Yemen achieved that devastating result means admitting that the stupid bloody war in Yemen has failed, a war America encouraged and assisted Saudi Arabia in pursuing.

Washington is taking the opportunity to pile still more accusations and hatred against a state they've done nothing but hate and abuse for over forty years, Iran.

Boris Johnson sounds as asinine on this matter as Theresa May sounded on the Skripal Affair.

That was an ugly set of events never properly explained or indeed investigated. And, again, an event used for hurling accusations, at Russia in that case, without any sound evidence being provided.

All thinking people accept sound evidence, so why is it not routinely provided instead of accusations and name-calling?

Evidence is simply not what we get from some governments anymore, with Britain being one of the worst cases.

Of course, it's just a reflection of Britain having been reduced to a "Yes, Sir, yes, Sir, three bags full!" status vis-a-vis the United States.

It does seem likely that Brexit will render Britain into a totally helpless dependent of the United States when it no longer has a large organization like the EU behind it.

Britain will pay dearly for any trade agreement or special arrangement with Trumpian America.

But that’s the direction in which Boris Johnson is pushing hard.

I know many British people voted for a sense of independence from a larger entity in the EU referendum, but that’s not what they are lined up to get, which is indeed virtually complete dependence on the United States.

A European 51st state.

Response to a comment saying, “All these wars were planned 18 years ago”


Absolutely, the Neocon Wars in the Middle East were long planned.

Recall, the chilling words of Condoleezza Rice when she described the screams coming from Iraq as "the birth pangs" of "a new Middle East."

Some prominent Neocons even published a book about ridding the world of a series of governments.

Iran was on the secret list seen by General Wesley Clark years ago, and it was in the Neocon book.

Perhaps, with the surprising developments we see - the remarkable capability of Iranian missile and drone technology now demonstrated several times - the United States will be unsuccessful in destroying yet another country in the region.

I certainly hope so. War with Iran would be an extremely ugly business.





AFTERNOTE ON BORIS JOHNSON’S ACCUSATION FROM ANOTHER NEWS SOURCE:



"If Iran was behind this attack, nothing would be left of this refinery," Zarif [Iran’s Foreign Minister] told reporters in New York ahead of the UN General Assembly. The comment came after UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson said he was holding Tehran responsible.

Zarif also said he had no reason to believe Yemen's Houthi rebels were lying when they claimed responsibility for the attack on key Saudi oil facilities. He called it a "high-precision, low-impact" assault with no casualties.
