Trump -v- Iran – a Disaster Day for Logic?
Trump -v- Iran on Summer Solstice 2025 – a Disaster Day for Logic? What on Earth has happened this weekend? As Solar time remains the same as ever, human time has now gone mad. The news of a rapid escalation of ‘events’ in the ‘middle East’, the term given by the west because of the spin of the earth, spinning into Sunrise and where there is no middle because there is no beginning or end of a spin, is this the last nail in the coffin of logical government? Or, has President Donald Trump massively shot himself in the foot?
Is it the same man who somewhere back in February of this year said words to the effect that the USA had plenty of nuclear missiles ‘which could destroy the world 50 times over’ so why add more, and were there not noises of talks between President Trump, Russia and China about ‘de-nuclearization’? No more missiles is one thing, but a coming down, a de-nuclear, is, or was, possibly the most Logical action anyone could take in the human world in this present time. An open-handed action to bring a line down would have filtered down a great deal of other matters, like the biological world has a vast network of seen and unseen processes going on in the zone around one fact, and which the modern humans have well lost sight of.
In this muddling of geography, ethnicity, belief, historical let’s call them ‘matters’, not to mention the climate disaster (some call it change), and the imminent collapse of supply chains, water supply, etc., if President Trump had followed through on that comment of de-nuclearization, how much would that have filtered on down through the chaos going on? Intention is like the subtle zone in the biological realm, it is not quantifiable yet has a profound factual outworking.
The ‘middle East’ is geographically and ethnically neither western Europe nor the USA, which is its own landmass with ocean on both sides. It could be said that the nuclear issue is the nastiest of all controversies between the different political zones on Earth. In this crazy age of globalism where the ‘west’ seeks to bring (or impose) democracy and individual values on just about everywhere from North to South Pole and all around Earth, the nuclear issue stands totally opposite to that, the nuclear powers retain the right to err.. retain their nuclear weapons, while telling other countries (and where the divisions are already there in history, religion, culture) that they are very, very bad for wanting a nuclear weapon.
If nuclear weapons are so bad that some countries cannot have them, and the USA, or President Trump himself ordered, that Iran should be attacked without warning, then Logically the only solution is that probably now throw-away phrase (because it has been thrown away) of “de-nuclearization”. Why has this President who was overwhelmingly voted in for the hope that some common sense can be slotted into the last days of human existence on earth committed this completely idiotic act?
As well as heightening the nuclear issue with these ‘bad Iranians’, the credibility which President Trump had in restoring some common sense to trade (and apologies to all the hard working trades people who are affected by tariffs but overall, that is common sense and a pity the UK doesn’t have a leader who thinks of its own security) has now evaporated. Any people or any country which is humiliated, as Iran now is, doesn’t bow the knee and accept their wrongdoing, it only makes bad matters so much worse.
Nearly there was a nuclear button pressed between Pakistan and India, so recently, and it was the same President of the USA who quickly stepped in, and the world breathed a sigh of relief, disaster averted. Now the same President does this inflammatory and idiotic action in the middle East like a bull in a china shop.
As the UK does not have any, or not nearly enough, young people who could turn up to even train for a fighting army let alone go off and actually do it, and as there are nuclear weapons in the UK, this would be such a very good opportunity for the UK government to show it had some teeth and unilaterally announce that it is to disarm its nuclear weapons. Hypocracy is just the worst situation of all and on the principle of ‘if you don’t use it, then lose it’ which is usually used for cognitive brain exercises that if you don’t keep active then you lose your faculties, but applying that to nuclear weapons, if the UK are not intending to actually use the nuclear weapons then what’s the point of all that time, money and effort to maintain them, and the UK could be the first to both announce and act – the two together – that it is beginning to dismantle all nuclear facilities.
A long time ago philosophers from Damas, Cairo, Paris, London, would meet and discuss, and a long time ago the trading network on the major ports and inland networks from there, all took full account of difference in geography, culture, belief, language, the long history, and it was a vibrant and engaged world. That time has passed and will never again be possible, because the west has burnt the bridges behind and in front, but of all the actions which could put the widest and most pervasive signal that this high tide mark is very very bad, if President Trump had continued on the de-nuclearization idea and even if just an idea, instead of what has happened this Summer Solstice weekend, then maybe the tide would have turned back and something of a normal ebb and flow just might have held. Instead we have a tsunami of god knows what, and the concept of governance in shreds.
Thank goodness Solar times does still hold. The northern hemisphere on Earth is now going into shorter days, less Light, down to the Winter Solstice, from where the baby Light will be born and the days slowly slowly lengthen again. No hope of such predictability for the human realm now.
