Spencer, author of the book The Politically Incorrect Guide to Islam and the Crusades, points out that giving away Czechoslovakia did not stop Adolph Hitler’s territorial ambitions leading up to World War II — and giving away the West Bank, he says, will not dissuade Hamas.

"More territorial concessions are not going to bring peace," the author says emphatically. "They’re not going to satisfy Hamas or the Palestinians in general, and they’re only going to make it easier for the Palestinians to achieve their ultimate goal of the destruction of Israel."
Author Says Israeli Withdrawal Would Play Into Hamas’ Hands


The Security Council,

Having heard the statement of the Permanent Representative of Jordan and other statements made before the Council,

Stressing the urgent need to achieve a comprehensive, just and lasting peace in the Middle East,

Affirming once more that the Fourth Geneva Convention relative to the Protection of Civilian Persons in Time of War of 12 August 1949 1/is applicable to the Arab territories occupied by Israel since 1967, including Jerusalem,

1. Determines
that the policy and practices of Israel in establishing settlements in
the Palestinian and other Arab territories occupied since 1967 have no
legal validity and constitute a serious obstruction to achieving a
comprehensive, just and lasting peace in the Middle East;
…
UN Resolution 446 (1979)
of 22 March 1979

George Orwell must be spinning his in grave with the “newspin” these days.
We are in the second stage of the “great game”. Bush and Blair tried a pre-emptive move, after 911.
They blew it.
Russia holds the energy taps. Putin quelled Kordovsky and the World Bank. China holds the T-Bills.
I’m pretty sure that Russia and China (whatever about the Security Council/hahahhaha), have made it plain to USA/uk that an attack on Iran is a no no.
Great old saying, high fences make good neighbours/Wall of China.
Expect a honourable withdrawal/victory. Beware Venezuala for energy needs.

Also, beware Africa.

The New Scramble for Africa
If there is a New Great Game afoot in Asia there is also a “New Scramble for Africa” on the part of the great powers.^12 The National Security Strategy of the United States of 2002 declared that “combating global terror” and ensuring U.S. energy security required that the United States increase its commitments to Africa and called upon “coalitions of the willing” to generate regional security arrangements on that continent. Soon after the U.S. European Command, based in Stuttgart, Germany—in charge of U.S. military operations in Sub-Saharan Africa—increased its activities in West Africa, centering on those states with substantial oil production andor reserves in or around the Gulf of Guinea (stretching roughly from the Ivory Coast to Angola). The U.S. military’s European Command now devotes 70 percent of its time to African affairs, up from almost nothing as recently as 2003.^13
As pointed out by Richard Haass, now president of the Council on Foreign Relations, in his foreword to the 2005 council report entitled More Than Humanitarianism: A Strategic U.S. Approach Toward Africa: “By the end of the decade sub-Saharan Africa is likely to become as important as a source of U.S. energy imports as the Middle East.”

Great to see you around CP.
Your analysis is always appreciated.
Hope you’ll come back more.
Great Game indeed!

Bernhard, Spencer is a nasty clown, but why do you suppose that UN decrees mean anything? When I think of the UN, Rwanda and Sbrenica is what I recall.
