IRAN, ISRAEL AND US INTERESTS

   A day after General Kassem Soleimani died in a Clintonesque murder, Neocons and their pals on the Far Left went giddy with excitement. The Deep State has had its larcenous eyes on Iran for a long time. But Tucker Carlson---practically alone in the MSM as usual---had this commentary:

   "Again there's been virtually no debate or discussion about this, but America appears to be lumbering towards a new Middle East war. And it's one that Official Washington {i.e. the Deep State} has wanted for a long time. For example, disgraced National Security Adviser John Bolton has made it his life's mission to turn on a war with Iran. Bolton may be finally getting his wish; but should you be happy about that? That's the question. Well, the last time we took John Bolton's advice on the region, Iran became far more powerful than it was before. Why? Because things are never quite as simple as they claim they are in Washington.

  "In this case, the very people demanding action against Iran are the very same ones who are demanding that you ignore the American invasion from the South. {I would add here that they are also the same ones actually bankrolling 'Migrant Caravans, etc.} The millions---the tens of millions---living among us illegally; the torrent of Mexican narcotics {Correction here: they are manufactured abroad but trafficked through Mexico} that has killed and disabled entire generations of Americans. 'Pay no attention to that!' they tell us, 'the real threat is Iran!' Well, they're liars. They don't care about you...they are reckless and incompetent; and you should keep all of that in mind as war with Iran looms closer tonight."

   It should be noted that Iran---according to Interpol figures---is responsible for 91% of the world's opioid interdictions. A lot of that comes from neighboring Afghanistan and the Golden Triangle run by George Soros' friends, the Royhinga of Burma. Iran also interdicted 20% of the world's Heroin and Morphine. That's about 750 tons of Opioids that never made it to the American streets in 2017 alone. This is probably one reason why the DNC and other criminal gangs want to take out Iran. Syria, for example, was one of the leading countries stopping the drug traffic; during ISIS occupation it became one of the leading sources of Captagon and Opioids. 

   The Neocons assert that we have to defend Israel---which during Christmas week was bombing anti-terror forces in Syria. Israel's increasingly unhinged PM Nethanyahu praised yesterday's assassination. The Trump Administration has been utterly sycophantic to Israel; so far this hasn't created too much of a problem, But a question is, what exactly has Israel actually ever done for us? Iran is defeating Al-Qaeda and fighting drug traffic---Israel is protecting terrorists and is a major exporter of organized crime. Israel's counterpart to the American DEA is riddled with corruption. 

   For that matter, let's look at Israel's history as a US ally. We were the first country to recognize Israel's independence in 1948. They've fought five major conflicts with the Arabs: in 1949, 1956, 1967, and 1973. Every single time, we've sent arms, equipment, and advisers to support Israel. But we've also fought four major wars since 1948. How did Israel help us?

    1950-53: Did Israel send troops to help us in Korea? No.

    1965-74: Did Israel send troops to help us in Vietnam? No.

    1991: Did Israel send troops to the Gulf War? No.

    2001- : Has Israel sent troops to Afghanistan? No. 

  But isn't Israel a major trading partner? Yes---we currently have a trade deficit of well over a billion dollars with Israel---and we've had a trade deficit with Israel every year since 1959. 

  My point here is that I can't see any more benefit that we get from Israel as an ally than we get from Slovakia. Are they worth wiping out Iran to supposedly defend? I say no. Bring the boys home and defend our own borders for a change.
