It’s too bad Americans and British don’t know their own governments’ dark history of meddling and the blowback in the present.
Globalization is now a movie running in reverse due to the crazy Houthis of Yemen firing missiles and drones at LNG tankers and other ships trying to access the Suez Canal.
The crazy Houthis get all their missiles for free from Iran to create chaos.
How does Iran have so much money to burn?
Obama and Biden gave them over $150 billion in frozen funds, but the real reason is Iranian oil sales.
Over 90% of Iran’s oil sales come from Kuzestan, the southwestern most province. Also called Arabestan, it was part of Iraq and STOLEN by the UK with US help because it was easier for Anglo-Persian Oil Company (now called BP) to STEAL oil from Iran than from Iraq.
The UK and the U.S. should apologize to the people of Iraq and support the return of Arabestan to Iraq, and encourage the Arab world to support this righting of a historical injustice.
The fact that no one serious has proposed this shows me that the U.S. government doesn’t have people whose intellects come anywhere close to matching the complexity of the world.
A very basic principle is to create feedback loops. 🔁
Attack world shipping and cost the world trillions in trade losses and experience consequences that cut the ROOT causes. The root cause of Houthi war on global shipping is the UK/US oil company led theft of Iraq’s province and this needs to be undone.
