Nuclear Armaggeddon assembles around Iran: middle east will soon be destroyed by the US and then no one gets the oil



Here is a news report from the net, so "it must be true," but i really think it is true: "Iranian naval forces have detected a US nuclear submarine in the Persian Gulf Waters, amid growing concerns over the safety of one of the most important energy routes in the world.  An Iranian patrol spotted the nuclear armed and powered submarine in the strategic Strait of Hormuz, which allows the passage of 90 percent of the oil produced by Persian Gulf states to Asia, the US and Western Europe.  There are currently 48 logistic and 18 combat US vessels in the Persian Gulf waters."



But I also read that Israel is having disaster drills simulating an air attack, suggesting that Israel is serious about striking Iran's nuclear plants and anticipating a retaliatory strike by Iran.  Supposedly, Iran doesnt have nuclear bombs yet, but Israel does.  What will US do if Israel strikes Iran?


First, Israel wont strike Iran without the US's approval.  I mean, we sell Israel most of its weapons, we give Israel more money for its welfare state than we do any other country, so damn right they better tell us.  Besides, it will be coordinated by US intelligence, and backed up by the 48 war ships we already have in the Gulf.


Second, If Iran attempts to respond, the US will unleash all hell on Iran - we dropped nukes on Japan, and we will do it to Iran if there is an attempt to destroy Israel.


Third, ........what happens after that?  Israel strikes Iran with the help of the US, the US attacks Iran because it tries to retaliate against Israel, and then what?   An even more radical regime takes power in Iran, the Shia take control of Iraq, Saudi Arabia becomes even more paranoid (dictatorships and paranoia go hand in hand, for example, the US under Richard Nixon),  and we are left with a middle east that is a mess.  


All this because we want oil.  


And because we wanted an Israel homeland, but not in Europe  (lets put it in the British Empire occupied Palestine, where only arab peasants live, and what really could they do about it if they dont like it?  great thinking Churchill ....)  As a great grandson of a Jew from Alsace Lorraine,  I think a jewish homeland away from the fascists in Europe is a great idea, but someone forgot about the arab homeland that was there before.


We need: green technology, less reliance on oil;  coal instead of oil until we fully develop green technology (which exists BTW, it just needs to be marketed by our gov and implemented over the objections of the oil companies and the f'in politicians); and we need diplomatic relations with Iran, a key to eventual peace with Israel (assuming there are any self serving politicians in Israel anymore who actually wants peace).
