I have a regular routine first thing in the morning, [or whenever I get up].
I suppose my routine is different from anyone else’s but that’s by the by. It usually ends though with firing up the laptop to see what’s going on in the world, and in particular to see if World War Three has broken out yet.
This weekend the Jews and the Arabs are bringing us closer to the brink.
I don’t comment much on international spats. For a start there are so many, what with the Russians and Ukraine, Israel and Palestine, North Korea determined to fight anyone now that they have the Bomb and China getting restless over its territory. The world is not a happy place and learning from the first two World Wars it doesn’t take much to light the fuse.
The Hammas attack back in October was a bit brutal and I don’t blame NuttyYahoo for being pissed. No one would blame him for striking back, but killing 33,000 Palestinians in revenge and leveling the entire Gaza Strip is a little beyond a reasonable measured response? All that has done is to swing world sympathies to Palestine and against Israel.
The problem with Israel is the United States. For some reason, presumably the Jewish lobby, the US seems determined to stand by Israel no matter what. This of course gives Israel carte blanche to be aggressive towards its neighbours, and in particular the Palestinians. It’s like the young bully in the playground who can bully whoever he likes because he has a big strong brother in a senior class who will always support him.
Then of course NuttyYahoo lost the run of himself. He was over confident. He attacked what is technically part of Iran. Now Iran has hardly been good buddies with Israel for ages and would love to have an excuse to launch a few bombs, and here was their chance.
So what happens next? That’s anyone’s guess. Both previous World Wars started with relatively local spats and both ended up with millions dead across the planet. Is Israel going to apologise to Iran and stop bombing Syria and Lebanon? I doubt it. NuttyYahoo is emboldened with success [or a mental aberration?]. He had the US and the UK helping him defend against the Iranian attack which surely must make him feel invincible?
I shall tune in tomorrow with closer interest.
If there is a tomorrow?
