Trump is a showman and like all showman he uses a measure of deceit together with appeals, as president, to false patriotism.<\/h5>\n
Houthi rebels have claimed responsibility for the strike on the Saudi oil facility. Although the Iranians have backed the Houthi rebels they have denied involvement in this particular strike.<\/h5>\n
We tend to believe them as the Houthi rebels have shown themselves capable of fighting with increasing sophistication. In August they shot down an advanced U.S. drone<\/a><\/span>, prompting some observers to ask whether the rag-tag rebels were the \u201cfuture of war?<\/span><\/a>\u201d.<\/h5>\n
Nor was the recent drone strike on the oil facility the first time the Houthi rebels struck at vital Saudi infrastructure. In early August they launched a drone attack on Saudi Arabia\u2019s Abha airport<\/span><\/a>, targeting the control tower.<\/h5>\n
While earlier the same week, Houthi drones struck civilian airports in the southern Saudi cities of Abha and Najran, as well as the King Khaled airbase in Khamis Mushait.<\/h5>\n
Most Americans, and many Europeans, are blithely unaware of this. But drone attacks on vital Saudi infrastructure is something the Houthi rebels have become increasingly adept at. That\u2019s why we tend to believe Iranian denials of involvement in the recent drone strikes.<\/h5>\n
Here\u2019s the thing though. U.S. intelligence KNOW the Houthis are quite capable of launching sophisticated drone strikes. They\u2019ve undoubtedly informed Trump and Pompeo so why do the president and his secretary of state repeatedly imply that Iran was behind the most recent attack?<\/h5>\n
We would suggest it is to prepare the way for a retaliatory strike on Iran. Trump says it will be \u201cproportionate<\/a><\/span>\u201d but frankly he\u2019s talking rubbish and he knows it. Because even if a U.S. strike is \u201cproportionate\u201d Trump knows that by authorising it he\u2019s lighting a fuse.<\/h5>\n
Because no matter how \u201cproportionate\u201d the U.S. strike is Trump knows full well that Iran will retaliate, thereby setting in motion a tit-for-tat exchange that could ultimately escalate to a much bigger war.<\/h5>\n
Before that happens though we suspect that Trump will make a carefully choreographed show of weighing the evidence and considering his options. That\u2019s why he is saying that he would “certainly like to avoid war with Iran<\/a><\/span>“.<\/h5>\n
He is acting as if he doesn’t want military conflict with Iran. He is trying to convince us that he wants to avoid war when it has probably already been decided upon<\/span><\/strong>.<\/h5>\n
It is part of the same ruse that led to Bolton resigning. It is all meant to fool ordinary Americans into thinking that Trump has America’s best interests at heart, that he wants to avoid military involvement overseas. When in all probability he is planning to plunge America into another bloody, potentially catastrophic war.<\/h5>\n
For make no mistake, war with Iran will be much worse that Afghanistan, Iraq and probably Vietnam too.<\/h5>\n
For a start, all U.S. military bases in the region will immediately become prime targets putting tens of thousands of lives at risk. Trump knows this. He’s cynically setting them up as targets. Giving him the justification if and when they are hit to launch a devastating counter-strike.<\/h5>\n
Trump may even be contemplating using nuclear weapons, as a final solution to resolve the Iranian conundrum once and for all.<\/h5>\n
Get ready. This is the lull before the storm.<\/h5>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
