Sunday Thoughts April 14, 2024

One thing that I forgot to mention last night when I recorded this is there might be another game afoot with this Iran – Israel tit-for-tat. The Biden admin might be putting on a show of trying to prevent a war between Israel and Iran. They wanted the Iranians to think Washington does not want war and will put pressure on Israel to not respond. This would tempt the Iranians into a measured response, retaliating in a measured way, thinking this will be the end of it.

One reason Washington might want this is chaos could keep them in the game. There is no way Israel will be cut off, so if there is a regional war the American war machine will be sent to support Israel by attacking Iranian assets. This will send energy prices to the moon. The country most effected by this will be China which is a massive energy monster now. Sure, it will raise prices in the West, but the excuse is those dastardly Iranians, not the Biden admin.

This might look like 4-D chess, but it is a piece with how the neocons have run American foreign policy over the last half century. They always put chaos in the set of options. Chaos is their last resort in the Ukraine war, which in that case is terrorism. The Crocus terror attack was a taste of what is likely to come after the Ukraine army fails. An Israel – Iran war would throw the Middle East into chaos and chaos often presents new opportunities.

Trump did this in his 2016 campaign. Every other week he would say something to outrage the media, thus creating an atmosphere of chaos. He usually came out looking like a champ because he is a guy who is comfortable in a world of chaos. Creating chaos is a way of resetting the board by forcing everyone to reset their strategy. That could be what the neocons are up to with this game of pretending to want peace, but really hoping for war.
