It would be great for the world if the other super powers could take the lead with rogue countries instead of the U.S. playing sheriff all the time. The U.N. Council would enable peace for the whole planet because no one will mess with the super powers combined. Leave the politics out and concentrate on weeding out the dictators. The combined muscle would have the war in Syria, Iran's hate of Jews and Rocket Man assigned to history by now. That is the stage human evolution is at. It is the ONLY solution.

I think it's the nuclear-powered states that's the main rogue states of the world, causing trouble and miseries. It's just statecraft, dominance and general insanity...

For some reason, every political leader want to dominate. Since WW2, and probably long before that, no state believe in another state's rights to have its own sphere of influence. So instead of accepting a world where another pretty powerful state should have its influence and security, each vie to be completely secure... and complete security for one state mean another will not be secure.

I mean, it's not enough we lock our doors, build a fence and put soldiers on it. We must do all that, have weapons cache all over the country and does not permit neighbours or peer competitor any peace of mind.

Hence, after the collapse of the USSR, NATO and the US move immediately East towards Moscow. Flipping former Soviet satellites to NATO, all until they reach the Balkans, had a proxy war there... and recently the Ukraine, which I think is still going on. Haven't read much about it in the press though.

In Asia Pacific we have China rising. China has always been ambitious and warmongering. It suffered that century of humiliation which saw its colonies lost, its land divvied up among the barbarians.

Since WW2, it's been chained in by the US/West in those 2 or 3 series of "island chains".

Should the US, or any state wanting world domination, permit China its sphere of influence? Probably not.

China reckon it needs it. And given the route Europeans took to "open" China up to the world in the late 1800s, can't really blame it for wanting its own backyard free of barbarians. It helps too that the South/East China seas have crap load of oil and fisheries. That'll come in real handy if/when war breaks and its sea trade routes are blockaded.

Seeing how all these major powers have nukes, they can't, shouldn't, and don't want to, fight each other directly. Hence the proxies.

--------------
As to Iran and Israel.

Israel wants to be a regional Hegemon. The only military power in the M.E. capable of defending itself against Israel would be, Iran, Saudi Arabia and possibly Turkey. S.A. has the hardware it's forced to buy from the US but can't much use it anyway - though they're practising it on the Yemeni the past couple years so if ever they to to war with defenceless state, they'll sure be able to kick its azz.

That and both are vassals to Uncle Sam, so they're technically on the same side.

Turkey may have a change of heart last year, hence the coup attempt by (not) the CIA :D...

So Iran is the only con-conforming state in the region capable of returning fire if Israel ever decided to fight it for "security reasons" - you know, Arab/Persians always hate Jews, unlike White Christians who always love the Jews.

Anyway, Israel want the US to take Iran out for them. They were hoping Bush Jr. would do it right after Iraq... in fact, I heard some lecture where Israeli's planners was egging Jr. to start with Iran after Afghanistan but have to accept that it's a harder sell to the public (for some reason).

Iraq proves a bit of a nightmare so the plans for Iran was put on hold.

Ever since then, that nutty yahoo have been trying to push for the liberation of Iran by the US. So he got pretty upset when Obama and Kerry follow Big Oil's and Big Business' directives to make peace with Iran.

Hence, having Trump as president is, they think, a dream coming true. Just tell Trump Iran says his hair is too fluffy and who knows, the dude might just "totally destroy" Iran for crimes against humanity or something.

------

Conclusions... all states are nasty and violent. In liberal democracies, the people do have some influence on foreign policies (if they wanted to)... hence all these "news" and talks of good vs evil, Axis of Evil, going to war for freedom, democracy and liberating brown people we don't particularly like.

So if we blindly believe all the bs, the war machines will grind on and a whole lot of people will die. I mean, Saddam and lil Kim aren't nice dudes, it's horrible to live under those farkers. But a war mean there's no living at all, just death.

Iraq is a worst place now then when it was under Saddam; same with Syria, same with any country getting smashed.

War is not the solution. War is for profits, death, destruction and a statute or an arch of triumph.

This all stems from the thoughts of one person and can cascade into large scale conflictl real quick. It's all in the mind and some minds are insane (at least irrational) and in control of people and weapons.

The race for the biggest guns and U.S. is winning. Crazy path of 'defence' at all costs with no turning back it seems. At least in a fist fight one would have a chance but the megatons mean instant vapourisation.

Democracy is the better solution for a society. I don't know of any states that have elected a leader to enslave them.

The minds of pretty much everyone who has power is insane. Or at least sociopathic. It's almost a literal definition when the person see themselves as giver of laws, and hence, above it.

Yea, having nukes sounds like a good idea but it's quite suicidal. I mean, maybe every country should have a few, just so no one would want to free its people and liberate its resources. But to have stockpiles of them, to have silos stashed all over the country... that's just insane.

Not just to costs of building, maintaining, securing... all of which comes with risks. Nukes are pretty much useless for powerful countries either way.

Say you're the US... when could you ever justify using a nuke? Only in cases of a near peer-competitor invading all your foreign interests and is about to knock on your gates (or could be convincingly portrayed as about to do so). I mean, you can't even nuke Moscow even though Putin and his no-longer communist regime "screws" with your presidential election :D

A peer competitor also have nukes so when you drop one you better drop all or else they'll hit back. Either way, it's loss/loss. For the typical terrorists, there's the MOAB and on down.

But I guess how else will the military industrial complex get its R&D funding if we're all that sensible.

As John Lennon's "Working Class Hero" says, we think we're so classless and free... but we're all f*cking peasants as far as he can see.

We in the Western democracies don't actually elect our leaders. Beside maybe a local councillor, all candidates are vetted and approved by those men in shadows.

Those who can't say the right words but do the right things won't get pass the gatekeepers. And if they somehow managed to, they won't get the funding or the favourable coverage, or any coverage by that free press (owned by rich people whose wealth depends on other rich people buying advertising).

In any wars we care to name, it's always the poor peasants who fought and pay the price. Then the opportunists politicians/statesman takes over once they know which side will win... then they establish "the people's" this, that and other things. All in name, not in reality and practice.

As Howard Zinn said, freedom, democracy, civil rights and all that is good about society were fought for and won by the "little" people.

Once the dust settles, the bodies cleared and the blood washed away... it's those who "lead" the fight (from behind) that gain the glory, the gold, the mansions and a city or two named after themselves and their lieutenants.
 
Markets front running Trump announcements? Seems to be a severe leak to Wall Street forewarning Trumps next "public" announcement.

How do you have "victory for the world"? Taking on the Martians or what?

Reading a few US State dept. officials saying they're working with European and Arab allies to pressure Iran into not developing nuclear weapons. Today.

You just pulled out of a treaty that's been 12 years in the making, signed by all major powers in the world and Iran agreeing to not develop nuclear weapon.
 
ASX 200 plummets 7% after Trump announces US travel ban

President Trump announced a ban on travel from most of Europe to the United States for 30 days Wednesday, marking one of the federal government’s most sweeping measures yet to contain the rapidly spreading coronavirus.

The ban will begin Friday at midnight and will not include travel from the United Kingdom, Trump said in a national address late Wednesday, in which he also announced a series of economic relief plans, including low-interest loans for affected small businesses, and called on Congress to provide “immediate payroll tax relief.”

He will also instruct the Treasury Department to defer tax payments for impacted individuals and businesses, he said.

In another drastic move, the National Basketball Association suspended its entire season after a player tested positive for coronavirus Wednesday night, another sign of the virus’s wide spread and deep impact across the country.

As the number of known novel cases surpassed 120,000 worldwide, the World Health Organization declared the novel coronavirus a pandaemic. “We are deeply concerned both by the alarming levels of spread and severity," WHO Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus said, "and by the alarming levels of inaction.”

Also
  • The United States has more than 1,000 cases with upwards of 30 deaths.
  • Tom Hanks said he and his wife, Rita Wilson, have tested positive for coronavirus in Gold Coast Australia.
  • The Dow reached bear market territory on a nearly 1,500-point skid as panic intensified about the coronavirus, which threatens to debilitate global economies and bring on a recession.
  • Ohio will limit large gatherings, and Washington state introduced similar measures in the Seattle area. The NCAA announced that its college basketball tournaments will be held without fans in attendance.
  • German Chancellor Angela Merkel warned Wednesday that up to 70 percent of her country could end up infected.

What an absolute turd of a clueless man who will in all likelihood be the next President of the United States if the Democrats don't move to the centre or centre right with a sensible candidate.
