Trump makes key move to beat Biden in their race to start a war with Iran

 
Less than two months from November's US general election, Donald Trump decided to make a key move in order to secure support from the Israeli lobby. As in previous elections, the lobby is a critical factor which will determine to a significant degree the outcome of the election. 
 
We are talking about the recent Israel's deals with the United Arab Emirates (UAE) and Bahrain that have been achieved through US interference.
 
As the BBC reported: [emphasis added]
 
US President Donald Trump has hailed the "dawn of a new Middle East", amid Israel's landmark deals with the United Arab Emirates (UAE) and Bahrain. Mr Trump spoke as the two Gulf states signed agreements fully normalising their relations with Israel. The three countries hailed the deals as historic, as did Mr Trump, whose administration helped broker them.
 
The Gulf states are just the third and fourth Arab countries to recognise Israel since its founding in 1948. Mr Trump hopes other countries will follow suit, but the Palestinians have urged them not to while their conflict remains unresolved. For decades, most Arab states have boycotted Israel, insisting they would only establish ties after Israel's dispute with the Palestinian was settled.  

[...]

All eyes will be on whether other countries in the region follow suit, above all Saudi Arabia. So far, the Saudis have signalled that they are not ready.

The agreements are also likely to usher in new security ties in a region where many of the Gulf Arab states share with the Israelis a common adversary in Iran.















         



The deal, which has been extensively promoted as a "normalizing relations" or even a "peace" deal, clearly serves Israel's interests in its effort to close fronts and form alliances among Arab nations against Iran.

Benjamin Netanyahu's words, "To all of Israel's friends in the Middle East, those who are with us today and those who will join us tomorrow ...", are clearly pointing Saudi Arabia, which will be the most critical factor that will shift the balance decisively against Iran in case its leadership decide to join these "peace" deals in the future.

The timing of this move by Trump, so close to the US general election, is not accidental at all and has two main targets. One, to signal to the Israeli lobby that he will do whatever it takes to prepare ground for a war against Iran. Two, to sell to the American voters a different profile - that of a peace-advocate president who seeks stability in the Middle East, contrary to previous US administrations who created the Middle East chaos.
 
So far, we had plenty of evidence that Donald Trump is more than willing to start a war with Iran during a possible second term. 

As we wrote early this year, even in his pre-election campaigns, Trump was rhetorically attacking Iran, a key player in the Middle East and longtime primary target of the US imperialism. Then, he hired John Bolton, one of the most sinister figures of the neocon gang, whose biggest 'wet dream' was to start a war with Iran at least since 2003. And, despite that Trump eventually fired him, it seems that he follows his plan to the letter.

So, the first thing Trump did to clear the way for the imperialists towards Iran, was to destroy the Iran nuclear deal. Without any reasonable excuse, Trump killed a deal that seemed to be working, and managed to dissatisfy even some of the closest US allies who were happy with it.

Then, he did the unimaginable thing to authorize the assassination of a top Iranian military official, who was also a leading figure of the fight against ISIS islamofascists. Trump's decision was not only unprecedented. It was taken in a time conveniently close to the 2020 US presidential election, permitting the US warhawks to achieve a maximum escalation with Iran right when they needed one. 

So, the imperialists will probably start a war with Iran as soon as possible after the 2020 presidential election. They will rush to do it because they don't want to give Iran enough time to build nuclear weapons. Right now, Donald Trump is the most convenient solution because he is still quite popular among his supporters. And he will not hesitate to follow the war schedule as he knows that he can't have a third term. But even an 'expendable' corporate Democrat would be quite easily maneuverable by the US deep state. 
 
Indeed, Trump's major opponent for the US presidency - Joe Biden - gave some good signs that he is willing to play the game of the deep state and the Israeli lobby concerning their plans against Iran. 
 
We already mentioned Biden's terrible response on whether he would lift sanctions on Iran due to the COVID-19 pandemic crisis. Biden didn't even bother to defend one of the very few positive achievements that the Obama administration - during which he served as vice-president - left behind: the Iran nuclear deal. 

Furthermore, we found that key people around Biden and his potential cabinet in case he wins November's election, are deeply connected with the Military-HighTech complex. And that they will not hesitate to make Iran a test field for the first AI war in history on behalf of this new complex. These people will seek to boost profits and serve interests of what appears to be the successor of the classic Military–Industrial complex we knew so far.

Obviously, Trump is using his current position to gain significant advantage against Biden in their race to start a war with Iran. It remains to see whether Biden will send more signals, in this narrow time-frame until November's election, to persuade the appropriate receivers that he will be a much more "efficient tool" in their hands to do their dirty work against Iran.

The wounded US imperialist beast becomes more dangerous than ever as desperately seeks to start a WWIII

globinfo freexchange   It seems that the declining Western superpower is losing ground and tries hardly to avoid the inevitable.    The US imperialist beast, despite all the destruction that causes, is failing to fulfill its utter objectives. Which in short, are the dissolution of Russia and China, looting their vast resources, as well as the full expansion of the destructive neoliberal model throughout these areas and other countries allied with the Sino-Russian bloc.   Most importantly, the wounded beast is loosing much of its strength due to the rapid de-dollarization that has started approximately ten years ago, as dollar had become the front line of the US imperialist sweeping force since the early 70s.   As if nothing has changed, the beast insists on using the same tools to prevail in the global geopolitical field, ignoring the unprecedented changes and complexities under current circumstances.    In a move (as it seems) of desperation, the United States House of Representative

Atlanta Police Violently Arrest Emory Students & Faculty to Clear Gaza Solidarity Encampment

"Student Intifada": Stanford, University of Michigan, Indiana University, & more

The Real News Network   Seven months into Israel’s genocidal war on Gaza, a student-led grassroots movement is spreading across the US and beyond, hearkening back to the student protests of the ‘60s that played a pivotal role in ending the US war in Vietnam.    In what is being called the “student intifada,” with over 100 encampments going up at different college and university campuses, students, faculty, grad students, and other campus community members are exercising civil disobedience, occupying space on campuses, defying brutal repression from administrators and police, combatting skewed and wildly lopsided narratives in corporate media, and pressuring their universities to “disclose and divest” their investments in companies and financial institutions connected to Israel.    TRNN speaks with encampment organizers/participants from the University of Michigan, the Indiana University, and Stanford University, and gets updates from encampments from New York to California. 

Yanis Varoufakis Banned from Germany as Berlin Police Raid & Shut Down Palestinian Conference

Democracy Now!   As Germany intensifies its crackdown on pro-Palestinian voices, Democracy Now! spoke with Greek economist and politician Yanis Varoufakis, one of the planned speakers at a conference in Berlin last weekend that was forcibly shut down by police.

"The university is being run as a sort of ad-hocracy at this point, the senior administration making up policies and procedures and pro
