Now that Genocide Joe has chickened out of the November POTUS election, 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.

After posting a video of a young recruit talking to the camera about how service allows him to better himself “as a man and a warrior”, the US Army tweeted, “How has serving impacted you?”
The Medes and Persians had roamed slowly over several hundred years from the steppes to the Iranian plateau but they had been preceded 1000 years before by earlier bands of Aryans who had found an opportunity to advance into the near east when the Sumerian Empire staggered just before Hammurabi, the Amorite, steadied the central power in Mesopotamia about 1700 BC.
