A U.S.-Iran War Would Be A Disaster For Afghanistan And An End To Uzbekistan's Policy Of Engagement


Nicholas Trickett, The Diplomat: What a US-Iran War Means for Afghanistan and Uzbekistan

U.S. coercive pressure on Iran works against Uzbekistan’s regional interests and the stability of Afghanistan.

With word that the United States is deploying the USS John C. Stennis supercarrier and its escorts to the Persian Gulf, concerns are rising as to what exactly the U.S. is doing with its Iran policy. According to Secretary of State Mike Pompeo, “[W]e are accumulating risk of escalation in the region if we fail to restore deterrence.” The deployment comes in response to an Iranian medium-range missile test, which the United States, France, and the UK have warned may violate UN obligations.

WNU Editor: The Shiite-led Iranian government and the Taliban are not allies.

Wait, I've seen the play before. Same play was run against North Korea and look how that play worked. The NeverTrumpers wailed that crazy man was getting USA into Nuclear War. Same people are wailing again about Iran.

Those people aren't serious nor do they have America's interests at heart.

"The NeverTrumpers wailed that crazy man was getting USA"

I heard that from the women folk in my family 2 years ago. They are not news junkies, but all the sites from women's magazines, to entertainment magazines fed the populace that crappy lie.

So I remind then 2 years later and ask "Where is the war?"

Not too much, because I do not because people often do not like to admit they are wrong.

Would have been nice if Obama would have put as much effort and engagement in the Persian Spring as the Arab Spring.


Wait he did engage. He paid the Ayatollahs and supported the Muslim Brotherhood (Salafists) in Egypt.
