Excellent article as ever Ura. You are quite correct in my view, and the fact that the British establishment is pushing this right now should be of concern to everyone. This is not simply pushing tension and conflict towards a middling Middle East dictatorship – it is further exacerbating tensions with the second most heavily armed nation on the planet. In my view this is a clear Deep State operation – and I mean the global Deep State – and I believe it is likely serving a variety of functions; including distraction, attempting to prop up the failing May government, and bolstering the failing anti-Russia narrative that seems the only thread preventing the US Deep State from collapsing under the weight of the Trump administration’s methodical assault on them. These are dangerous, unique times – and this seems an act of desperation on the part of a dying cabal. You are right to call it out, and for me such desperation tells me we should pay close attention, and yet remain cautiously optimistic concerning what may follow.
