CAMERON PREPARES FOR WAR !

As if the West hadn't made a sufficient mess of the Middle East already, it appears to be moving inevitably towards yet another involvement in a conflict which is nothing to do with them.

Already, warmongering noises have been emanating from Washington and Paris and now it's the turn of David Cameron to show the world what a strong leader he is. In what is clearly an attempt to prepare the nation for entry into a nebulous conflict which crosses the border between Syria and Iraq, he's issued a 'warning' to the effect that, unless action is taken, "Islamic State militants could grow strong enough to target people on the streets of Britain". He's gone on to say that a humanitarian response is not enough and a "firm security response" is needed.

The current troubles in that part of the world are, in significant part, a consequence of previous western interventions over the last 25 years or so and date back to the creation of countries by the drawing of lines in the sand nearly a century ago. Yes, there are religious fanatics in the world who are capable of inflicting damage on us, but these aren't just Muslims. There are plenty of mad Christians and conflict between Catholics and Protestants is never far away, as we know only too well. The fanatical Jews who govern Israel and inflict shocking hardship on their Palestinians brothers on an almost daily basis are every bit as much of a threat to world peace as are the 'militant' Muslim 'extremists' of northern Iraq and Syria. It seems that the addition of the words 'militant' and 'extremist' is all that is needed to stir up fear, and yet are not the ruling clique in Israel both of these ? Why then, are we not in mortal dread of them ?

Cameron refers to a security response when what he means is a military response though, being a politician, he find himself quite unable to call a spade a spade. The UK is heading, inexorably, towards involvement in yet another Middle-East conflict, more because it suits the needs of politicians and Generals than for of any other reason. How deeply involved we become has yet to be determined but we can be absolutely certain of the eventual outcome - still more pain and suffering, more death and less stability in that part of the world, and absolutely no resolution of the basic issues.

And, by the way, where is the United Nations while all of this is going on ?

PUTIN, NETANYAHU AND WORLD WAR 3.

What is going on in the world ?

In the middle east, we have the Israelis launching the full might of their considerable military strength against a hugely inferior Palestinian force and killing hundreds of civilians in the process, all in the pursuit of what they claim to be 'protecting their citizens'. In the Ukraine, we have a civilian aeroplane shot down and almost 300 people killed; the Russian President, the dictator Putin, claims that the fault lies with the Ukrainian authorities while he's also been backing and supplying the Ukrainian rebels who probably shot down the craft.

The rest of the world makes noises but does nothing of real note. Benjamin Netanyahu, the war mongering and viciously anti-Palestinian Israeli president seems to do whatever he wants with no one prepared to really challenge him; he carries the badge of the historic NAZI atrocities on his arm as a protective shield that no one feels able to breach. The world is terrified of offending the Jews for fear of being accused of being racist, anti-Semitic and like the NAZIs. The Jews exploit this reticence and attack their 'enemies' at will and without fear of any real condemnation or even anything much more than a mild rebuke.

As for Putin, he does have real power but he also has real vulnerabilities, and yet the UN and others just let him carry on. They rebuke him and impose sanctions, but they do very little that will actually stop him. This  man is a monster, every bit as evil as his Soviet era predecessors, and we largely ignore his atrocities. While the days of the 'Iron Curtain' and 'Berlin Wall' are behind us, it seems that a new 'Cold War' is brewing as Russia vies with the western powers for control of eastern Europe and the Caucasus. Will Putin actually goes as far as to invade another country ? If he did, what would the West do about it ? The answer is 'Probably nothing', for fear of what might then happen. Meanwhile, Putin exploits the weakness of Western leaders and does what he likes, exactly as the butcher Netanyahu does in Israel.

Roll on World War 3. At least that might rid us of these disgusting individuals and allow the few who remain to start the human race over again. If no one's left, does it matter ? The earth would undoubtedly be better off without us.
