Two Words = Leave Tokyo

The Daily Mail: Reports that the UK Foreign Office is advising UK Subjects to leave Tokyo. One has been watching the TV news from Japan and getting more depressed by the day, between the Earthquake, Tsunami and now the from various reports of the failure to contain the nuclear accident at Fukushima one has to ask how much more can Japan take, if its true that the Government of Japan has been less than candid with its people and the other powers then one has to expect the worse, could Tokyo become a no go zone, think about this folks, lets be brutal here, we are not talking about a third world power, we are talking about an economic superpower, if Japan goes down the drain the world will follow. One can only hope that the West is overreacting and that the Tokyo has been totally honest, one’s prays are with the people of Japan at this moment of great grief. Poor Japan.

Bahrain cracks down on Protests

Guardian: Reports that the security forces of Bahrain have set about to finish the weeks of protest in the Kingdom by the Shiite majority. Lets be honest here folks, lets hope they do it quick and hard, this blog’s main concern is US and UK interest, its not in the interest of the West for Iran to have a satellite country on the border with Saudi Arabia. This might sound odd considering this blog’s argument for a No Fly Zone over Libya. But there is a fundamental difference folks, the good people of Libya want freedom, thus on the whole not against UK and US interests, on the other hand the majority of Shiites in Bahrain might want freedom but the cost would be a even more powerful Iran. A threat to the borders of Saudi Arabia is a threat to the Western economy, lets recall the 1970s oil crisis, do you want to wait in line for oil due to an embargo from Iran. Thus folks International Politics is a harsh business, you have to live with the consequences, thus a free Libya YES, but a Western supportive country in Bahrain is what is in the interests of the West. Harsh and simple folks, this blog never hides from the harsh truth of the world.

The Death Agony of Benghazi ?

Telegraph: Reports that the Gaddafi Regime has predicted that Benghazi will be under its control in 48 hours. Thus lets see folks who gets to Benghazi first, will the security forces of Colonel Gaddafi break the revolution or will the UN pass a No Fly Zone over Libya. The rebels are fighting for freedom, and the UN is having endless discussions, where is the most powerful man in the world, it seems that President Obama is playing Golf these days. If and it’s a BIG IF folks the UN does pass the resolution who is going to fly the planes, will it be left to the UK and France, or will the political pressure in the US force Obama to act, one can almost predict that the UN will pass a no fly zone but it will be to late, the Gaddafi forces will be in Benghazi and it will be Bosnia all over again, Clinton and now Obama, why are Democratic Presidents so weak and feeble. One has to feel sorry for the poor people of Benghazi, all they wanted was freedom, and all they got was death due to the weakness of the West in the shape of the UN and the US.

When WORDS mean NOTHING - President Obama and Libya

President Obama’s National Security Team has discussed the crisis in Libya, the White House statement states the following, “ …the President and his national security team reviewed the situation in Libya and options to increase pressure on Gaddafi. In particular, the conversation focused on efforts at the United Nations and potential UN Security Council actions, as well as ongoing consultations with Arab and European partners. The President instructed his team to continue to fully engage in the discussions at the United Nations, NATO and with partners and organizations in the region. ” In the Obama Administration we are seeing another Jimmy Carter, the lack of real military response to the violence does recall the miserable period of the Carter years. In President Obama we see a President who thinks that the US is a yesterday Superpower. That can be the only reason that POTUS has not take action, in this case we can look at a previous President and his action towards Libya, in this case its Ronald Reagan, when Libya was found to have supported terrorism that effected the US, Reagan sent in the airplanes to hit Gaddafi hard, it did the trick for a while, the only mistake that Reagan made was not to send in a second wave of planes to take Gaddafi out. It says something that the leaders for a new tough UN resolution against Libya is the UK and France, old Europe is seeking back its Crown, while the US is looking at its post imperial decline in many respects, a weak leader in President Obama, a War in Afghanistan that can never be won, a debt of 14 trillion. The question is will the US find another Reagan or will President Obama get re-elected in 2012.
