Iran nuclear deal will not bring "peace for our time" - Joel C. Rosenberg - https://flashtrafficblog.wordpress.com/2015/09/02/iran-nuclear-deal-will-not-bring-peace-for-our-time-tehran-engaged-in-massive-military-shopping-spree-in-russia-could-this-trigger-an-israeli-first-strike/
Iran nuclear deal will not bring "peace for our time." Tehran engaged in "massive military shopping spree" in Russia. Also set to receive S-300 missile system by end of year. Could this trigger an Israeli first strike?
Despite President Obama's insistence that his nuclear deal with Iran will make the world safer and more secure, it is already driving Iran's leaders into a "massive military shopping spree" in Russia that will make the Mideast and the world far more dangerous.
For example, Iran's leaders say they expect to take possession of the Russian S-300 missile system - the most advanced anti-aircraft missile system ever built by the Kremlin - by the end of the year. This billion-dollar system, which Iran has been seeking for years, is state-of-the-art. It would make it far more difficult for any nation's air force to successfully strike Iran's nuclear sites in the future.
This raises a sobering question. Does the Israeli government consider the procurement and imminent deployment of the S-300 system in Iran a "red line"? That is, would such a development force Israel's hand by persuading her leaders to launch a massive preemptive strike before the S-300 could become operational?
Recent news reports indicate Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu and his Security Cabinet have come close to authorizing such strikes as many as three times in the past, but concluded in each instance that the time wasn't right. Last week on Fox News, I said I hoped Israel wouldn't have to strike any time soon, but could wait to see if a new President is elected in November 2016 that was a far more faithful friend. If so, Israel might not have to strike at all. It could hopefully trust a new American President to nullify the Iran deal, re-impose economic sanctions, strengthen the American military option, and take whatever action became necessary to decisively neutralize the Iran nuclear threat.
Yet the intensification of the Russian-Iranian alliance, the massive purchase of arms, and the deployment of the S-300 could change the equation. The Israeli Prime Minister and Security Cabinet may rapidly face a dynamic not entirely dissimilar to the Cuban Missile Crisis when President Kennedy and his top advisors felt they had to prepare for a massive preemptive strike on Cuba before Soviet nuclear missiles there could be made operational.
Thank God that in the end the Soviets backed down and Kennedy did not have to order the attack in 1962. Yet today, the arrival of Russian missiles in a highly volatile environment is once again raising the threat of war.
WHAT'S HAPPENING IN WASHINGTON?
Congress should be requiring President Obama to follow the U.S. Constitution and submit the Iran accord to the Senate as a foreign treaty. If it did in the current environment, the treaty would not win 67 votes. It would thus not become law. It would thus be dead-on-arrival.
However, Congress is not following the Constitution.
A vote will likely be taken in Washington by September 17, requiring Members of the House and Senate to go on the record "for" or "against" the deal. But this in and of itself will not stop the President. It won't prevent the administration from implementing this insane agreement, one that legalizes and protects Iran's massively dangerous, destabilizing and until-now-illegal nuclear program.
So the President is poised to get what he wants - a free hand to implement his nuclear deal against the will of the majority of the American people and their representatives in Congress.
But the President will not make the world safer. He is refusing to learn the lessons of history, and appears to be doomed to repeat them. Let me explain.
On July 14th, President announced his "historic" nuclear deal with Iran, assuring the American people of confidence that after engaging the Iranian leadership he was, in fact, making the world safer and more peaceful.
"Today, after two years of negotiations, the United States, together with our international partners, has achieved something that decades of animosity has not - a comprehensive, long-term deal with Iran that will prevent it from obtaining a nuclear weapon," insisted the President.
"This deal demonstrates that American diplomacy can bring about real and meaningful change - change that makes our country, and the world, safer and more secure," Mr. Obama added. "This deal offers an opportunity to move in a new direction....a different path, one of tolerance and peaceful resolution of conflict."
To many, the President's remarks echoed those of British Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain who struck a deal with Adolf Hitler - the "Munich Pact" - claiming to have "solved" the challenge of the rising Nazi threat to Czechoslovakia and Europe, and to have secured "peace for our time."
"The settlement of the Czechoslovakian problem, which has now been achieved, is in my view only the prelude to a larger settlement in which all Europe may find peace," Mr. Chamberlain declared on September 30, 1938. "This morning I had another talk with the German Chancellor Herr Hitler and here is the paper which bears his name upon it as well as mine. Some of you, perhaps, have already heard what it contains, but I would just like to read it to you. 'We, the German Fuhrer and Chancellor, and the British Prime Minister have had a further meeting today and are agreed in recognizing that the question of Anglo-German relations is of the first importance for the two countries and for Europe. We regard the agreement signed last night, and the Anglo-German naval agreement, as symbolic of the desire of our two peoples never to go to war with one another again."
"My good friends, for the second time in our history, a British Prime Minister has returned from Germany bringing peace with honor," Mr. Chamberlain added. "I believe it is 'peace for our time.' Go home and get a nice quiet sleep."
Less than a year later, however, on March 15, 1939, Adolf Hitler and his Nazi forces invaded Czechoslovakia.
On September 1, 1939, Adolf Hitler and his Nazi forces invaded Poland.
Very rapidly, all of Europe - and soon all the world - was engulfed in a horrific, deadly, catastrophic war.
What went wrong? Chamberlain fundamentally misread Hitler's intentions. The "Munich Pact" did not represent Hitler's "desire...never to go to war." Rather, it represented the Fuhrer's calculated effort to buy time and lull the West into a false sense of security until he and his war machine were built up and ready to strike with full fury.
Today, President Obama either cannot or will not properly assess the apocalyptic, genocidal intentions of Iranian Ayatollah Khamenei and his senior leadership. The Iranian leaders hold to a deeply dangerous End Times theology. They have candidly and repeatedly vowed to annihilate the United States and Israel. They have declared these goals official Iranian policy. And they are now using this insane nuclear deal to buy time and lull the West into a false sense of security and their war machine is built up and they are ready to strike with full fury.
Prime Minister Netanyahu understands the threat of "Apocalyptic Islam." I know because I've discussed it with him.
President Obama does not, or will not.
Now Russia is helping arm the world's worst state sponsor of terrorism, a regime that seeks to bring about the End of Days.
God help us all.
