WAR OF WORDS. NOTHING NEW.. .OR IS IT?
Iran and Israel using inflammatory language towards each
other is nothing new.
I've even said this before in on this blogg site.
So, is this most recent round of "words" anything
new?
yes!
"Chicken Little" is the attitude of the average
American right now, but some of the more ominous signs are out there.
First off, the US stock market was weak at best this last
week and all the talk was about a continuing "weak" market.
That is not the type of news or movement that moves the
price of oil up, yet the price did go up... all week.
Those that run the oil markets and oil industry know no
political or ideological boundaries.
Their ability to get the "ground facts" from those
who are in the know is common knowledge.
Short answer, when you see the market going down or staying
weak, but the price of spec market oil is going up, that's a sign of interpreted
tension.
Now, a great deal of the hot air coming out of Iran and it's
Puppet Hebollah this week had to do with the celebration of " CUD", a
trumped up 1979 gimmick by the old Iranian regime to promote violence.
In the next few days, I will go back and revisit just how devastating
this conflict could be, but before I do that I will ask one simple question; an
important issue that sets the tone for the entire region.
Is Iran truly ready for the level of destruction that could
be about to fall on them?
Do the leaders in Iran truly believe their own hype?
Last but not least; do the people of Iran understand what
might be about to happen to them?
If Iran responds to a limited Israeli strike with a disproportionate
counter assault, the results for Iran will leave them in a crisis they will not
climb out of for a decade.
But then again, will Israel strike first?
That is a point I will once again revisit in the next few
days.
