A novel can’t defuse a bomb. But we are not helpless. We can sing the truth and name the liars. ~Salman Rushdie.

POTUS Trump’s recent foray into the Persian Gulf put a few things straight, not the least of which it is OK to play YMCA, which Trump claims is the gay national anthem, in the supposedly homophobic shit hole country of Saudi Arabia. While he was in the neighbourhood, Trump also accepted $1.3 trillion in arms deals from Saudi Arabia, as well as a flying palace from Qatar and a firm handshake from Syria’s head chopper in chief, whom Trump, perhaps in the gay spirit of the Village People’s YMCA, described as a handsome and virile man with a strong past.

Although all of that is a hypocritical mouthful, let’s break it down into digestible parts. The fact that Saudi Arabia and Qatar have made mouth watering gifts to Trump, while not even giving the Gazans a drop of water, show what foot those serial grifters kick with. As my recent article on them pointed out, they exist to keep the wealth of the Persian Gulf in the hands of NATO and out of the hands of the Arab people, to which it rightfully belongs.

As regards their blarney about the Islamic Ummah, that is just a crock of ahistorical blarney they use to keep their head choppers focussed on easy victims and not on such things as an equal distribution of their ill gotten wealth.

And how about Jolani, Syria’s chief head chopper, who is now hailed as some sort of Syrian Messiah by his American, Turkish, Qatari and Saudi paymasters, who financed him and his head choppers in their brutal war against the secular Syrian Arab Republic and its defenders, the heroic men and women of the Syrian Arab Army?

Let’s forget the American men and women who had their throats slit on Jolani’s orders. Let’s forget spectaculars like the 9/11 attack, which Jolani’s comrades pulled off and which was NATO’s original excuse for waging their wars in Afghanistan, Iraq and Syria. Let’s forget how Jolani was recruited by the CIA when they captured him in Iraq and rejoice that sanctions, which were only ever a tool to destroy secularism in Syria and the entire Arab world, have done their job by starving Syrians into the blood soaked hands of the Muslim Brotherhood. Mission accomplished.

Although Trump hadn’t time to pop in on Israel, let’s give them and their ongoing genocide in Gaza a shout out. With Hezbollah very much on the back foot, I see very little hope for Gaza and, if the “natives” there are depending on Qatar or Saudi Arabia for deliverance, they might be better off depending on the non existent good graces of Netanyahu or Trump’s ambassador to Jerusalem (not Tel Aviv) Mike Huckabee, who is the gold standard in Christian Zionist fanaticism.

Moving on to Iran, though they might breathe a sigh of relief that Trump has not waged cartographical jihad on them by renaming the Persian Gulf the Arab Gulf, they should be in no doubt what awaits them and their Yemeni allies on NATO’s road to Persia. For the cleptomaniacs in Qatar, Saudi Arabia and Israel to feel safe, Iran has to go. It is as simple as that.

Moving northwards, we come to Russia, which not only has its own cartographical problems but is still entwined in Syria, where it maintains a number of bases and in the Gulf, where it would like to be at peace with the aforementioned countries that safeguard NATO’s assets in that neck of the woods.

NATO’s Russian problem, as we will call it, is compounded by the fact that Russia has something between its ears and, to NATO, that cannot be tolerated. When the Russian Air Force first intervened in Syria, they hit the oil wells and the oil trucks NATO was using to rob Syria’s oil. When the Russian Air Force, together with the heroes of the Syrian Arab Army, had Jolani’s ISIS franchise on the ropes, the U.S. air force intervened by levelling Raqqa and setting up a puppet statelet there to thwart the Russians and the Arab forces allied with them. The upshot of that was that, when the Syrian civil war settled down, Damascus was left with three proxy forces, one each to its north, to its south and to its east, and NATO was eventually able to leverage all three of those toeholds to establish their Caliphate in Damascus.

Before leaving Russia, let’s note that Egypt’s Armed Forces took part in Moscow’s 9^th May military parade. This is significant as the Egyptian Armed Forces, since the days of the great Colonel Nasser, has always been the guarantor of Egypt’s secularism and it was the great Egyptian Army that saved their homeland from the jaws of Morsi and his Muslim Brotherhood cut throats, who had plans to invade and overthrow the secular Syrian Arab Republic but not, of course, little Israel.

Although I previously wished Pope Bob well, I had also previously pointed out that the Vatican is a nest of CIA and MI6 vipers, who are no doubt urging His Holiness to go easy on Jolani, just as folk like Mother Agnes Mariam are no doubt asking Syria’s new ruler to go easy on the head chopping and making sex slaves of pre-pubescent Alawite teenagers.

For me, there can be no such forgiveness in this life or the next, as far too many innocents have needlessly died, just so Jolani and his equally contemptible Gulf State and NATO paymasters can listen to YMCA as they line up to rim POTUS Trump’s orange ass. And, as regards Israel’s turkey shoot in Gaza, which all of these jackals support, what can one say that has not already been said?

Although Trump, Starmer, Macron and NATO’s other jokers have forgiven Jolani his war crimes, we must remember that, as with Zelensky in Ukraine,. he was only ever a low level operator in this NATO enterprise and that those three, along with the rest of their YMCA buddies, are the stockholders in NATO’s revamped Murder Inc.

Though we have seen prequels to this in the way the mafia carved up New York and Pope Bob’s Chicago, we have also seen it in how the European powers carved up Africa towards the end of the nineteenth century and how that wholesale theft has repercussions to this day. The rape of Syria and the complicity of Turkey, Israel, the United States and the punk Gulf State autocracies is no different, except in the one respect that it is happening today, in real time.

Although the position for Syrians will improve a little once NATO’s sanctions are lifted, their position will not really improve, and the AI forces Trump, Musk and the rest of them are harnessing will only make things worse not only for them but for all those who stand in the way of NATO conquering Iran and whatever nations might be next for the chopping block once Iran falls.

Although that might sound alarmist, such are the plans of Trump and those close to him in the United States, in Israel and in the Gulf. And, though China might eventually frustrate the best laid plans of these mice and excuses for men, for now NATO’s plans for Palestine, Syria, Iran and all of the Middle East are right on schedule and right on time. Bad days ahead!
