‘The U.S. Does Not Intend to Attack Iran’ – Ma'ariv


Israeli journalist Eli Bardenstein writes in Thursday’s edition of Ma’ariv that U.S. does not intend to attack Iran over its nuclear program. Citing a speech by U.S. Under Secretary of State Rose Gottemoeller, Bardenstein says that the U.S. believes the current situation with Iran resembles the Cuban missile crisis when the dialogue between the two parties averted disaster. As part of our IranEdge series on the Israeli perspectives on Iranian nuclear program, we are republishing Bardenstein’s piece here. Please click the link below:

Another desperate Zionist attempt to goad the deadbeat and imploding US into a swan song war with Iran which will ultimately destroy the Persian Gulf oilfields, wreak havoc in the region and eventually go global. The US is now a bankrupt deadbeat with massive socio-economic problems that has China breathing down its bloated neck, a Chinese general today predicted that they intend to run the US out of western Pacific and Asia within two decades. The impotency of the US in current world affairs was on ample display at the UN monkey club after North Korea's 3rd official test and so far the most advanced (miniaturised nuke). All the US and its idiotic Susan Rice did was to make fool's of themselves with usual barks as China even did not allow an anti-DPRK resolution let alone any "sanctions".

The Zionists have backed themselves in a corner by issuing millions of worthless threats and bluster and now have been exposed as puny pups. They keep on extending the date of Iranian "nuclear capability" and have run out of red paint for constantly redrawing the "redline". The FACT is that the US economy is in tatters and simply incapable of recovering as China now is effectively is the world's largest trading nations (Iran's number ONE partner) and is on schedule to be the NUMBER ONE economy in about 5 years. The US is indebted to China to over 3 trillion dollars and counting. A war in the Persian Gulf oil fields while gasoline prices are pushing $4 upwards will be pure suicide for US which has bankrupted itself in on-going Islamophobic wars against relatively minor and unarmed failed states like Af-pak, Iraq, Somalia etc, a war with Iran will be a different matter and Chuck Hagel knows that, hence the Zionist panic. The US warmongering is still costing the Pentagon over $800 billion a year, more than the defence budget of the whole world combined. This bloated cost does on include the US police state costs. The situation is very similar to the USSR collapse post Afghanistan in 1989.

The US has no option left but to accept the de-facto Iranian nuclear state status like North Korea. Unfortunately, Obama is not a visionary so an opening to Tehran is not on the cards and the moronic "sanctions" and bluster will continue as the costs of this insanity are mostly on the deadbeat US and EU economies as the cost of a stand-off with Iran is adding about $15 a barrel on Brent Crude average basket price. The IMF calculates that the cost of one-sided Iran "sanctions" have cost the US and EU economics over $300-500 BILLION in lost sales, trade and investment since 1979. The cost of subservience to Zionist parasites has indeed been heavy on bubba and his pick-up truck.

No, what averted disaster was USSR-N Task Force Commander Vasili Arkhipov, overriding the captain of Soviet submarine B-59 and its political officer in averting the launching of a nuclear torpedo against USN AS forces, thereby "saving the world":

were you semi-intelligent you would be able to understand that $300-500 billion over 34 years is a rather small sum for the US and EU economies which combine to a GDP of $33 TRILLION annually....

get someone to do the math for ya....
