Trump Backs Down from  His Boasting and Blustering about Iran’s Defeat

Paul Craig Roberts

It seems only a few hours ago that Trump was boasting that Iran to save itself from annihilation was anxious to make a deal at the renewing of negotiations in Pakistan.  This puzzled many as Iran itself had announced that it wasn’t going to any negotiation and would not negotiate with Trump’s two Jewish real estate developers or US VP Vance.

When Trump realized that no Iranians were going to appear, he quickly declared that he held all the cards and said negotiations could await Iran’s acceptance of his terms. For Trump, that is what negotiation is.  You accept his terms or get bombed into the stone age.

However, it seems that it is the US presence in the Middle East, now called West Asia, and Israel that will be bombed into the stone age if the conflict renews.  

For the Iranians negotiations are pointless. The source of the violence in the Middle East is Israel’s Zionist policy of Greater Israel.  Maps held up before TV audiences by Israeli Prime Ministers show the extraordinary expanse of Greater Israel–Palestine, Jordan, Lebanon, Syria, Iraq, parts of Egypt, Yemen, Saudi Arabia, Iran, and Turkey, which was recently added to Israel’s claim by former Israeli prime minister Bennett. Some of the maps are shown here at the 9 minute mark: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W5e08r6O0dk ...........more...........
