The U.S. may join Israel in making war on Iran, but any support they get from Europe will be inconsequential.

We should have peace for our time in Ukraine by the end of the year and war for Iran shortly afterwards, Declan Hayes writes.

Now that Genocide Joe has chickened out of the November POTUS election [it is more likely he was pushed by the DNC —Eds], we should have peace for our time in Ukraine by the end of the year and war for Iran shortly afterwards.

That is because the Trump/Vance team should romp home to victory in November. Not only are both Trump and Vance keen to cut a deal with Russia, and not only are both firmly in Israel’s pocket, but Vance is easily the most rabidly anti-Iranian and pro-Israeli coyote in the top tier of American politics. Expect, then, the American/NATO war machine to pivot away from Ukraine, to keep China on ice and to focus on Iran, Israel’s most recent bête noire.

Regarding NATO’s war in Ukraine, we must first note that a large number of Russians are being killed. That has prompted American war criminal Lindsey Graham to declare that “the United States has never spent money so successfully as on the murder of Russians.”

Instead of imagining there is any morality in any of this, follow the money. Russia is a land power and NATO, with the United States at its heart, is a sea and air power. The idea that NATO ever genuinely thought they would prevail or, indeed, that they ever entertained any idea of prevailing in this land war is fanciful. Though the Ukrainian fatalities are horrific, they are not American fatalities and so they do not matter.

If NATO’s Ukrainian proxies kill 100,000 Russians at the cost of 1,000,000 Ukrainians, is that not a good deal? And is it not an even better deal, when we consider all of the collateral benefits, only two of which I will mention here.

The first of these is the Americans’ arms and munitions’ racket. Czech President Petr Pavel is boasting how he has ramped up the production of 155-millimeter caliber and 122-millimeter caliber ammunition. Sweden and Finland, meanwhile, have rushed to join NATO, and are now being lumbered with all the costs and none of the benefits of billeting legions of over-sexed American troops.

The Germans, meanwhile, always the dunce in NATO’s class, are reconfiguring their autobahns so that they can all the more easily shuffle NATO’s armies around on them. As von der Leyen’s Europe is, in short, a conglomeration of satrapies prepared only for making weapons of war for its American master, Europe needs to focus on an enemy to keep this racket going.
