It Is Iran’s Decision Whether the US Remains in the Middle East
Paul Craig Roberts
Simplicius has collected news reports and explains their meaning. His explanation supports my conclusion expressed in interviews that Iran is the victor to date of the Israeli-American attack on Iran. If Iran had not foolishly called off its highly successful counterattack, the outcome might have been Israel’s surrender and the US driven from the Middle East.
Simplicius delivers a larger message that confirms my belief that decades of attacks by liberals on the United States and Western Civilization as racist, colonialist exploiters and oppressors of “people of color” has destroyed the self-belief and thereby morality of the Western World and left once proud countries to be overrun by immigrant-invaders and manipulated by Israel. Boastingly, President Trump presents America as a pirate state.
The humiliations that the US has suffered from attacking Iran for Israel has until now been hidden from the American public. For a quarter century Washington has used its money and the lives of its soldiers in behalf of the Zionist cause of Greater Israel. The exploitation for 25 years of Americans by Washington in the interest of Israel is disguised as “the war on terror,” just as the war on Iran is described by President Trump as a war on a “terrorist state.” In actual fact, Israel and the US are the terrorist states. The Unites States is so morally weak that Netanyahu has reduced America to Israel’s level of war criminality with Trump threatening to do to Iran what Israel has done to Gaza.
America’s weakness is amplified by Trump’s transparent blustering used to hide defeat and war crimes. By demonstrating such weakness, Trump might turn the cowardly behavior of Putin and Xi into aggression.
Here is Simplicius and some facts:
