Pundits are debating when the Israel-Iran war will resume. 

They are debating the West’s use of its Ukraine proxy in the war with Russia. 

They are debating when and how the US conflict with China will flare up. 

But no one is asking what is the point of the wars. What are they about?

This is the most relevant question, especially when four of the parties to the conflicts have nuclear weapons.

The answer to the question is the wars are about hegemony. 

Israel wants hegemony over the Muslim Middle East, and so does Washington. And Washington wants hegemony over Russia and China.  

Israel’s war with Iran is about eliminating an opponent to Israel’s hegemony as expressed by the Zionist aspiration of Greater Israel —from the Nile to the Euphrates, recently expanded to include half of Saudi Arabia and all of Pakistan.

Washington’s war with Russia and China is based on the Wolfowitz doctrine that declares US hegemony over the world as the principal goal of American foreign policy. 

No American president has yet repudiated this doctrine. 

So the wars are about nothing but the selfish aspirations of Israel for regional hegemony and Washington for world hegemony. 

Be sure you comprehend that it is nothing but the selfish aspirations of two countries that are the cause of millions of dead, maimed, and dislocated peoples, for the destruction of entire countries in the Middle East —Iraq, Libya, Somalia, Syria, Palestine, and Lebanon, with Iran a current target and with Saudi Arabia, Pakistan, and Turkey waiting in the wings. 

The US is responsible for massive deaths, injuries, displacement, and destruction in Ukraine (and Palestine) and for provocations of Russia, such as the attack on the Russian strategic triad that eventually will result in nuclear war, with China waiting in the wings.  

The US currently is increasing the pressure on Russia by fomenting color revolutions in former Central Asian provinces of the Soviet Union.

Washington’s intent is to create more Ukraines on Russia’s borders in hopes of destabilizing the Russian government. As the American military/security complex sees it, the more proxy wars Washington can get going on Russia’s borders, the quicker the Russian state will be overcome. 

Foreign policy commentary pretends that the West is defensively resisting Russian aggression that otherwise will spread beyond Ukraine into the EU. 

The proxy war against Russia that Washington initiated by overthrowing the democratically elected government in Ukraine and installing a neo-Nazi American puppet and US trained Ukrainian forces on the break-away former Russian provinces in Ukraine is presented as defending Ukraine against a Russian invasion. 

This transparent lie is treated as truth in Western foreign affairs commentary.

What percentage of the Western population understands that the Kremlin was forced to intervene in the Russian provinces in Ukraine in order to prevent a Gaza-type destruction of Russian people? 

How many know that Putin refused the request of the Donbas Russians to be reunited with Russia when Crimea was? 

How many know that instead Putin relied on the Minsk Agreement, which the West used for eight years to deceive Putin while building up a large and well equipped Ukrainian army to invade the Donbas and slaughter the Russian population? 

How many understand that it was only after the Biden regime, NATO, and the EU cold-shouldered Putin and Lavrov’s frantic efforts to achieve a mutual defense agreement with the West during December 2021-February 2022 when the Ukrainian army was poised to attack Donbas that Putin was forced to intervene for which Russia was unprepared as Putin, averse to war, had relied on negotiations.

What has Iran done to us? Iran has not assassinated our leaders, sanctioned us, bombed us or stolen our bank reserves.

All lran has done is to refuse to submit to Israel. Why is that a cause for an American war with Iran? 

None of these facts are part of the foreign policy discussion. 

Those of us who insist on facts are labeled “Russian agent/dupe” and demonized as spreaders of disinformation.

Who is it that wants war so badly that facts are unacceptable?

Alas, the Western World has no media to investigate, no congressional and parliamentary committees to investigate, and no one but a few of us demonized souls to hold liars accountable.

This is the sad state of affairs in the Western World.

As one of a diminishing number who defends Western Civilization for its achievement of embedding values in society and its mores, law, and politics that raised humans from barbarity into civilization —values such as respect for truth over power, of forgiveness over vengeance, of empathy over unconcern, of love over hate, of integrity and self-respect over material gain, I wonder at times whether I am defending an entity that no longer exists.  

Perhaps a society whose values have eroded away brings itself to its end in self-destruction. 

The weapons for the end of life on earth exist in abundance. It only takes one mistake, and we live in a world where human mistakes are the ruling hallmark of humanity, a world that has succumbed  to evil.

What excuse is there for the Genocide of Palestine, for the world to stand aside while a people and their country are exterminated? 

What did Palestinians ever do to anyone? Why did Americans provide Israel with the means to destroy a people who never harmed anyone, a people who submitted for 78 years to Israel stealing  their country from them village by village, all the while demonizing them as terrorists?

When one looks honestly at the West today and its Israeli appendage, is its survival morally justified?

How can Western Civilization be renewed? 

Who can do it? Where are the leaders? 

All are busy feathering their nests as Western Civilization collapses. 

Yesterday I described how President Trump could end the war in the Middle East and Washington’s war with Russia. 

That would be a beginning, but is it a bridge too far for a civilization that has been loosened from its moorage? 

Can Western Civilization renew itself when its universities and pubic schools teach its failures and not its successes?

Can America be made great again when law schools do not believe in the US Constitution, which they designate as a “racist document,” when journalism schools teach that service to liberal-left agendas, not to truth, is the function of journalists, when governments at every level are accountable to the self-interest of interest groups who supply their campaign funds, not to voters, when decades of open borders have replaced an American population with a tower of babel?  What is left for Trump to work with?

Trump needs to come home from the world stage to America.

He should turn off the money and diplomatic protection to Israel and Ukraine and focus on trying to save America and Western Civilization. 

He will get little, if any help, from Europe and Canada, whose politicians have already delivered their ethnicities to The Camp of the Saints. But possibly America  could be saved. It is a long shot, but worth a try.

People should lay off Trump. Give him a chance to understand the real challenge. Perhaps he will undertake the challenge. Perhaps he will succeed.  

What other chance do we have?
