I cannot imagine *any* top leader who is making decisions in America, the Middle East, Europe, Russia..... being free to actually tell the Truth about either the historical facts (speaking of Israel, Palestinians, Iran, Syria, Hamas, Hezbullah, etc., etc.) or what their real choices are at this point.

The degree of dis-information and distortion makes it almost impossible for the average person to even know who the major actors are, and even harder to recognize those who set the stage for "forever wars" -- tracing back to treacherous leaders in Great Britain, America, and the Middle East after WW1.

So I'm not going to try to persuade y'all so much as just make an observation. In the 1970's & '80's, America & the USSR were on the brink of nuclear war, with no path to de-escalation. But a small group of Americans & Russians worked incredibly long, hard hours against all odds and in some ways against their own leaders, to formulate a **verifiable** Nuclear Arms Treaty that allowed **INSPECTIONS** and trust-keeping activities.

It's not hard to believe that there has been treachery on *ALL SIDES* involved with making a treaty with Iran, but it sounds to me like their continuous refusal to allow inspections and to just say "trust us" was pretty much a death knell to the possibility of a treaty.

Thus, sooner or later, there was going to be a war something like what we are seeing. How far it will go, is anyone's guess. I suspect that Iran is going to suffer serious defeat -- but that the price will be high on Israel's side.

I don't know how deeply America will get involved, but when it is all over, I *do* believe that aside from a bunch of sociopathic/psychopathic colonialist elites in Europe and America (I consider the Washington D.eath C.ult to have been contaminated with those same elites to one degree or another for much of American history) most of the world would rather find less deadly ways to compete with each other.... so I am hopeful in that regard.

"Two Israeli officials" supplied this intel?

They would seem to be reliable sources, right?

I'll pass and wait for better sources.
