Paul Craig Roberts<\/p>\n
As I posted on June 22 (\u00a0https:\/\/www.paulcraigroberts.org\/2019\/06\/22\/as-we-face-armageddon-the-western-world-is-leaderless\/<\/a>\u00a0), the world still faces the danger of an attack on Iran by Washington acting as an agent of Netanyahu.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span>Israeli agent John Bolton is already in Israel conferring with Netanyahu.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span>It is a safe bet that a more serious false flag attack is being planned that will force Trump to save face by attacking Iran.\u00a0https:\/\/www.rt.com\/news\/462505-bolton-army-ready-action\/<\/a>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n If Israel and its neoconservative American agents succeed in setting the Middle East on fire, it will also be the fault of the Russian and Chinese leadership.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span>The Russians and Chinese could stabilize the situation by announcing a NATO-type alliance with Iran and putting military forces in the country, and by informing the criminal Netanyahu that if war breaks out Israel is the first to go.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n I am aware of the arguments that it is not Russia and China\u2019s responsibility to protect Iran and save the world.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span>The problem with this view is that if a conflagration breaks out, neither Russia nor China can escape its consequences.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span>It would be far more intelligent for the two governments to take unified proactive measures than to be faced with having to react to a conflagration.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n The US Congress long ago decided to evade responsibility by giving up its war authority, a decision that currently rests in the hands of Bolton and Netanyahu.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span>The European politicians are Washington\u2019s mindless puppets.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span>The only chance for world leadership resides in the Russian and Chinese governments.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span>Both should understand that their inaction is a form of deadly action.<\/p>\n
