I give Al Jazeera credit for publishing this opinion piece: 'The US-Israeli Strategy Against Iran is Working. Here is Why'

[Thethingsz]

Here us another surprise from al Jazeera which is usually terrible and Hanas-linked.

He's in a minority, most experts I read say the project is a failure. Iran wasn't a threat to its neighbors until it started getting bombed and many neighbors host US military assets, bases.

If genuine negotiations had continued nobody would have died and oil markets would be stable, but Israel would have been bitching as it always does when it can't get its own way.

As for Navy and Air Force, Iran never hand much in those areas, that isn't where they invested, so destroying them is just incidental.

Finally Al-Jazeera is based in Qatar, a perpetual dictatorial monarchy that has been subjected to attacks from Iran, there are limits to how it can express news.

If real regime change occurs and the fundamentalists are truly thrown out, then it will be good for the region.
We'll see, Trump will only have a few more weeks before he'll lose a lot of his support if he doesn't get this wrapped up.

Regime change by force in Israel would be far better for the region.

You're welcome.

Go ahead and try it, see how far the Islamists can get.

 

[EdwinAMartin]

It's just part of the Sunni-Shia civil war in Islam, compounded by the typical clan wars within wars endemic to the ME.

Yes ally...
Not in propaganda. Qatar's al jihadzeera propagates for Iran and Hamas.

ME24 - Middle East 24 @MiddleEast_24:
Several Palestinian Accounts in Europe Criticize Narratives in Al Jazeera and Arab Media.
Multiple Palestinian accounts based in Europe have criticized what they describe as an “Iranian-aligned narrative” promoted through Al Jazeera and other Arab media outlets.

Activist Mustafa Asfour, along with other Palestinians residing in Europe, has led criticism against individuals they accuse of amplifying this narrative in Arab media.

Asfour is known for his criticism of Hamas, and reports indicate that his father was previously detained by the group over social media activity before being released.

Islam in Qatar - Wikipedia

en.wikipedia.org

Sunni Islam​

Sunnis account for the majority of Qatar's Muslim population at upwards of 90%.Most Sunnis adhere to the Hanbali school of Islam though the scenario is changing with state sponsorship of more moderate form of Islam, some leaning towards the Shafi'i school. The country's state mosque is Imam Muhammad ibn Abd al-Wahhab Mosque, which was named in honor of Muhammad ibn Abd al-Wahhab of the Najd.In 2017, there was a request published on the Saudi newspaper Okaz signed by 200 descendants of Ibn Abd al-Wahhab to change the name of the mosque, because according to their statement "it does not carry its true Salafi path".

Shia Islam​

Shias comprise around 5% of Qatar's Muslim population. Several of Qatar's most notable merchant families have historically been Shia. Qatari Shias are granted religious liberty and some have held government positions. In contrast to the Shias in nearby Bahrain, the Qatari Shias have an identical dress, dialect and culture to Qatari Sunnis. However, there have been a small amount of societal conflicts between Shias and Sunnis within the country. One notable instance is the attempted demolition of a Shia cemetery near Doha in 2011 by a group of Wahhabi extremists allegedly affiliated with Qatar's Islamic ministry. Upon receiving news of this event, The Emir of Qatar Hamad bin Khalifa condemned the attempt and attended a Shia funeral as a sign of respect.

They are only 'allies' as far as the Sunni-Shia split goes, otherwise they are just snakes like most Muslim shitholes are.

Ahem ... this is your Muslim shithole.

Best looking shithole I've ever seen.

Just sayin.

All Muslim countries are shitholes. They're run by thugs. Las Vegas in the 1950's and 60's looked great, too.

We cannot defeat Iran without collapsing the global economy

Trump cancelled his trip to Chi-na because this unforced error has turned into misfortune.

I feel that Bibi is not dead, but moved to the secure bunker far from Israel. The Bibi is dead is like Paul is dead. The Zionists are waiting out the end of the current world. They’re letting the Jews take the brunt of the damage.

"We cannot defeat Iran without collapsing the global economy" because Iran's fall is inherent with world economic collapse.

Have you noticed how much of the global economy, outside of the Amish and indigenous rainforest, runs on ME oil and gas?

 

[EdwinAMartin]

IRan didn't have an economy; like Russia, it's just a gas station pretending to be a regional power. It's oil production is less than 20% of its neighbors, and the west imports pretty much none of it.

So? Theirs isn't so hot either, despite all the fake data they throw out. They can't survive long without stealing tech from the US and Europe. And, as we've seen, their mighty defense systems they sold Iran failed miserably, proving to the 'allies' they're hoping to recruit they're worthless as suppliers and 'friends'.

 

[EdwinAMartin]

Not nearly as much as you would like to think, and it grows smaller and smaller every month in fact.

The great Trump signed his very first strategic triumph his first day in office, when he signed the Alaskan natural gas pipeline bills. This will secure a clear route to Japan, Korea, and Taiwan away from Panama canal bottlenecks and ME petro imports. Unlike China and Russia, the US actually helps it's allies.

Don't believe the propaganda. They are a huge trading pardner with whom we want to get along.

Beating our chests does not make us Tarzan of the jungle. And Trump is not either. Maybe Cheetah.
