PEACE FOR OUR TIME...
American Held Hostage In Iran For 444 Days Calls Deal 'Foolishness'...
'Like Jimmy Carter all over again'...
Krauthammer: Worst since Munich...
Saudi Arabia warns it will strike out on its own...
Rift with USA…
Subtle it ain't. So we have given over and the Iranian storm troopers will either be at the gates of D.C. or raining nukes on Lubbock in no time flat, or something.
The Saudis are going out on their own, according to the Telegraph. Good luck to 'em. Maybe the Chinese will be better partners. Doubt they will be as easy to snooker. Or maybe Bandar can leverage his special relationship with Putin.
The Neutralist is aware that the western industrial world runs on hydrocarbons. If it is a choice of having our sons, and increasingly daughters, involved in another mid-east conflict with the same level of success as, oh, let's say, Iraq or Afghanistan, we should take our chances.
Israel is not amused with us either. We wish Prime Minister Netanyahu luck as well. After all it is his neighborhood.
The principal fact to keep in mind is that it is not our neighborhood. We don't have to demand Iran do anything and we shall be no worse if we leave the region entirely.
The guy cited as the hostage above and who thinks the deal with Iran sucks may be right.
“My personal view is, I never found an Iranian leader I can trust,” he said. “I don’t think today it’s any different from when I was there. None of them, I think, can be trusted. Why make an agreement with people you can’t trust?”
haven't had to deal with Iranian leaders, so The Neutralist can't disagree. Maybe in another news item the man can tell us a world leader who is absolutely trustworthy.
As we have said before, time to say au revoir.
