The Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Ryabkov has now explicitly cautioned the U.S. against providing direct military support to Israel or even considering such “speculative options,” warning that doing so “would radically destabilise the entire situation.” according to Russia’s Interfax news agency. His statement reflects Moscow’s concerns that the conflict could spiral out of control, potentially affecting Russia’s interests in the Middle East, where it has strategic partnerships and a military presence.
Trump today said he told Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, “Keep going.” He mentioned that he speaks with Netanyahu every day. “He is a good man,” Trump emphasized. Fox is pushing the same nonsense they did for the Iraq War, promoting this Neocon agenda of endless wars. The GOP messages sent to my phone claimed “79% of Americans agree with President Trump that Iran CANNOT have a nuclear weapon. Iran is looking for any signs of weakness from the United States. They want to test our resolve.” Absent from this is any consideration that this could spill over involving Russia and China, not to mention North Korea. This is about regime change, not merely nuclear weapons. Iran doesn’t have to build a nuke; Russia and China can move them in, as we saw in the Cuban Missile Crisis in 1962, which was 63 years ago – (2 x 31.4).
Trump just put this out, and he is backing off from his threat to kill the Supreme Leader. That would set off a Holy War and piss-off both Russia and China. I hope to God that the Neocons pushing Trump forward here have a little common sense.
Bibi has come out and contradicted Trump, saying they have lost because Israel did not destroy the nuclear facility, which they knew from the outset they could not do. Bibi is another Neocon trying to create WWIII. He was on the ropes facing a no-confidence vote just 2 days before. The external enemy play sealed his position as it always does. This is trying to ensure that Trump will get directly involved in destroying that nuclear complex. This has been the intention from the outset. This is the timing array from February. It showed June was the start with high volatility, but August still remains a critical target.
Our War Index had been targeting June as a Directional Change and a Panic Cycle. This does not look to be a 6-Day War.
Trump now faces what will define his presidency. Forget MAGA. That will be forever gone if he directly attacks Iran for Israel. He had once hoped for the Nobel Peace Prize. He will be remembered as the individual who is often credited with starting World War III. Yet, they gave Obama the Nobel Peace Prize for authorizing covert operations to overthrow Syria. Perhaps that is the new criterion: peace through bombing and the annihilation of your enemies is the new way to achieve peace.
