The Rubble

 Russia and China historically abhor Islamists and the religion itself  per se, but see them as "useful idiots" in their joint  struggle against what they perceive as decadent and decaying Western democracies.  

However countries which have experienced the lethal effects of militant Islam don't agree that there is any usefulness in Islamists and see them not as  idiots,  but as dangerous intelligent  threats. One can count in this India, Turkey, Egypt, Indonesia, Tunisia, Kenya, Uganda, Ethiopia,  Malaysia   and half a dozen Sahel  African states who are  Muslim majority.  Throw in  the large landmass of the Central Asian "stans" from Uzbeks to  Azarbaijanis and  you have  a huge chunk of the world's Muslim states.

As far as the Arab states of the Middle East  are concerned, revolutionary Iran is a  pure poison, for almost half a century.  The Shiite Islamic revolution makes no bones about it's intention to destroy and replace all of their governments, from Jordan to Kuwait and everything in between, with Islamist regimes pattered on Shiite hegemony, led by themselves.

If some had doubts, Iran lashed out at the Ibadi Muslims of Oman, a non-confrontational  branch of the religion.  Known for avoiding extremism and promoting peaceful coexistence,  Oman was the hopeful broker  of the February 2026 Iran-US peace talks. It got droned.

The Russians and Chinese indeed have carefully cultivated BRICS over the past decade to prepare an monetary assault on the galleon of the dollar, whose sinking would drown in it's wake   the Euro, Pound and Yen as well. This would be a nail in the coffin of the Western hegemony they intend to replace with their own. 

It would be  anchored by four nuclear armed states (Russia, China, North Korea and Iran) and the hoped for add-on of Pakistan. Iran's zero-sum attack an all and sundry including  recent sign-on members like the UAE,  has exposed the fatal flaw in BRICS - many  members of the "alliance" hate each other more than they hate the West.  BRICS has turned, in the current conflict, to rubble.

Surprisingly to some but not to this author, the strongest allies of  the Islamists and increasingly as we  see on the streets of Europe , are the Western radical left.

Say Her Name

 

This is 16 year old Atefeh  Sahaaleh    moments before she was murdered  by the Islamic Republic of Iran in 2004. She was 16 years old.  
She was convicted of “crimes against chastity” under Iran’s Sharia‑based penal code. State media falsely reported her age as 22 and accused her of adultery, though she was unmarried. Atefeh was orphaned young, endured abuse, and had been arrested multiple times before for similar charges, receiving lashings each time. Her trial ignored her age and mental health, and the judge who sentenced her personally carried out the execution.She was hanged from a crane in a public square in Neka, in front of a crowd.

The Octopus in Iran

 I am trying to think of a single international law that Iran has not continuously broken for 47 years. Some, such as the killing of it's own people, are in UN Charter terms grounds for regime removal. Anyone waving this  "international law"  canard against the ongoing Israeli-USA strike mission  is either a full collaborator i.e. the Green Party,  or a NIMBY fence sitter (Democrats and every  leftist party in Europe).

We have suffered decades of terrorism. Once it was inspired by communism, now its Islamo, Narco, organized international crime etc.  If it was up to the centre left ruling elites, Itan would now or very soon have nukes and ICBMs andthus  be irremovable. 

It would not probably use those nukes as Israel could destroy them . However since they  believe in the Apocalypse where Christ will return as a Muslim to destroy "the cross" and tthe Jews", who knows what these mega-heretical  religious psychopaths would do?

More likely they would use the nuke "shield" to cause much more endless rehional terrorism and mini-wars on a much larger scale.

At least 3 ME countries would be racing to build their own (Saudis, Egypt and Turks)  as they have sworn to do if Iran got nukes.

Some are bravely doing the entire world a favour and especially in regards to asserting Judaeo Christian  civil values over the first openly Islamo-Fascist revolutionary state, hopefully making sure the lesson makes it the last. 

While  do- nothing  fence sitters, by their own inaction, give  a great encouragement to the Iranian regime and it's "pals" internationally.  

Reoultionary Iran is the world's number one octopus of Islamo - terrorism. Far more dangerous than Osama or ISIS, because it controlls a vast state in a global hotspot.  It's tentacles spread into dozens of countries in every continent, committing thousands of terrorist acts. You can't harm an octopus cutting of a tentacle. It will grow another. You have to squash the head.
