WorldNetDaily has sourced the London Sunday Times report of Alexis Debat of the Nixon Center alluding that the Pentagon is planning a three day blitz to cripple the Iranian military and knock out Iran’s capability.
I realize this is a he-said she-said line of reporting which usually ends up adding or leaving out details by the time the last media source publishes what they know; however the talk has been in the background for some time.
Often times these are clandestine government releases intended as warnings or to get a feel for the potential public reaction by individuals and various nations. If the intent is a warning to Iran of imminent hostilities the War on Terror is about to move up to the next level.
The next level response is really unknown. Many experts believe Iran is capable to escalate the stakes themselves. Some experts believe such a military strike will ruin the Iranian economy thus neutralizing Iranian responses.
Time will tell if America’s intentions are ready to initiate the next level or if it is merely saber rattling to match Iranian saber rattling.
The Axis of evil was at one time: Iraq, Iran and North Korea. Iraq was bumped from that list.
I guess the next Axis of Evil would be Syria, Iran and North Korea. All three are rogue nations destabilizing peace in their regions.
Now I am reading in the Scotsman.com that Burma is preparing to join the Axis of evil club. Burma is already a rogue nation with a horrible human rights record. The nation is ruled by a military junta Dictatorship.
Apparently Burma is rich in natural resources and is prepared to profit on those resources. Who is paying for the natural resources? China, Russia and India.
Russia is aiding Burma in preparation of nuclear plants. Does that sound familiar?
China is buying oil and setting up naval bases on Burmese islands. This is part of the Chinese military strategy known as the “String of Pearls.” This is a reference to China’s growing military that is ever increasing Asian hegemonic power.
India is not happy with China’s emerging military via a nuclear navy in the Bay of Bengal.
India is competing for oil and gas exports from Burma by selling military arms. India is loosing that wooing game because Burma is allowing China into the Bay of Bengal and Russia is fulfilling a nuclear aspiration. This means India has a nuclear competitor in Pakistan and China and potentially Burma and Iran. India is being surrounded. India has been in Russia’s orbit for years. I am thinking this nuclear power encircling of India may force India to become a full partner of America.
The Scotsman.com reports one other tidbit about Burma wanting into the Axis of Evil club. Burma has normalized relations with North Korea: The bad boy that relies on China and threatens South Korea, Japan and America.
