The peace dividends of battle profiteering
Trump’s ‘outside-the-box’, ‘revolutionary’ pondering will ‘bring peace’, suggests Israel’s Netanyahu. Isn’t he (far) proper?
Take West Asia. What higher ‘peace plan’ for a MAGA-Stripped area than for US to ‘buy’, ‘own’ and but be bootless in Gaza? Not for nothing Trump pushed the Israel-Hamas ceasefire, accredited 2,000 pound bunker-busting bombs for Tel Aviv, and advised 2.1mn Palestinians vamoose. What about their attachment to a homeland Israel’s relentlessly pounded, with US support? Don’t fear, they’ll be comfortable outdoors Gaza – future ‘Riviera’ with casinos as an alternative of bombed-out craters. As son-in-law Kushner stated, flip battlefront into waterfront. Life’s a seashore, eh?
Next, take Ukraine. What sweeter peace ‘deal’ for battered Ukrainians than for US to hog their pure assets? Ever-so businesslike, Trump threatened to sanction Russia if combating continued. Reportedly, his administration then briefly halted arms shipments to Ukraine, near-hobbling its fightback. He lastly sought Ukraine’s uncommon earths in alternate for protecting it combating match! What concerning the casualties of a ‘ridiculous war’ Trump stated he’d finish in an iffy jiffy? Well, since peace-brokering takes time, it had higher be worthwhile meantime, proper?
Finally, take the world. What higher peace programme than for US to place missile-detecting sensors and kill-capability weapons in house – a grand ‘next-generation’ missile defence protect towards ‘foreign aerial attack’? If Israel’s ‘Iron Dome’ can smash short-range rockets, absolutely Trump’s early-warned America can demolish the ballistic, hypersonic and superior cruise missiles of its long-ranging foes.
Russia claims US’s ‘focus’ on house warfare will heighten international ‘tensions’. How bang heading in the right direction. Strategic deterrence solely works if all nations with nukes-brandishing M.A.D.-men are sitting geese – a precarious steadiness that’ll collapse if Donald geese. But then, aren’t peace-poopers proliferating? So, sure, US should additionally possess these very missiles Trump needs neutralised by eye-in-the-sky satellites, spy-in-the-sky trackers and collide-in-the-sky interceptors of what non-fantasists dub his pie-in-the-sky undertaking.
So is international amity, or calamity, inside placing distance? Well, if US’s arms-factories revive Star Wars, retaliators also can lucratively militarise house. Entropic equilibrium will set in: with arms-racers ignoring nuclear insecurity to money in on Domeland Security, the dome’s-day clock received’t strike midnight. See? Trump could seem an unguided missile. But when Bibi hailed the Don of peace, he hit the nail on the warhead.
