Israel's Netanyahu Lit The Match For A Future Nuclear War With The Attack On Iran As President Trump Follows.

 The policy of the existing nuclear powers that we can have our nuclear weapons but no one else can have theirs is leading to a future nuclear war that will reach U.S. soil.  Smaller nuclear powers will be increasing their production of nuclear weapons so the big boys cannot threaten them while future leaders of non nuclear states will start nuclear weapons program so the big boys cannot bully them and the race will be on for the spread of nuclear weapons.  And when the nuclear holocaust is unleashed no one will be safe.

Mankind is at a point of no return because of nuclear weapons and their destructive power.  It started long ago when Israel became a nuclear power in the middle east and no one wanted to talk about the imbalance in the middle east.  Then we lived the war in Iraq over WMD that did not exist.  Now we have the Iran attack over nuclear weapons that never existed.  Netanyahu for the past 20 years has said Iran was only a few months away from an atomic weapon and was a nuclear threat.  The media and the negative voices played along like both Iraq and Iran's military was a military threat to the U.S.  Both attacks proved them wrong as Iran and Iraq had no air defense or ground game to give the U.S. military any trouble.  And now just last week some in the media say they wonder why Iran's defense was so weak.  Anyone who follows the news knew Iran and Iraq's strengths lie in their terror attacks and not in any real military confrontation.  

Two major issues that can stabilize the middle east are a nuclear free middle east including Israel and a diplomatic settlement that requires courage from middle east leaders to stand up and forge a fair settlement.  The U.S. Europe, Russia and China could be a great help in lending a hand to co-operation on the issues at hand.  We know an agreement can be reached by serious people because the agreement between Israel and Egypt that President Carter negotiated is still in affect after 40 plus years and is still working.  The so called tough guys on both sides have failed in their approach to bring positive changes to the middle east so it is past time to rewrite the script.  

Make no mistake, a future nuclear war will take place, including on U.S. soil if the path we are now on concerning nuclear weapons do not change.  This is not science fiction, nuclear weapons go beyond the usual weapons of war because of their ability to destroy the human race on earth.  And that really says it all.
