Ian Proud: Was the Iran War a Strategic Blunder?
Ian Proud was a member of His Majesty's Diplomatic Service from 1999 to 2023. Ian was a senior officer at the British Embassy in Moscow from July 2014 to February 2019, at a time when UK-Russia relations were particularly tense. He performed a number of roles in Moscow, including as Head of Chancery, Economic Counsellor - in charge of advising UK Ministers on economic sanctions - Chair of the Crisis Committee, Director of the Diplomatic Academy for Eastern Europe and Central Asia and Vice Chair of the Board at the Anglo-American School.
Thank you. In the meantime, UK's dream of creation "Greater Israel" becoming reality...
One of the main, perhaps only, Trump’s objectives is creation of ever-Greater Israel. He never hid that….
The only filter for Trump's administration members was and is —a total dedication to Zionism and Great Israel, therefore to the US genocide of Palestinians. Hence the unconstitutional and unprecedented “antisemitism” terror and censorship in the US.
Always remember that when Benjamin Netanyahu Mileikowsky visits US he often stays at the estate of Trump’s daughter, Ivanka (Trump) Kushner. And that Trump is demanding that all corruption charges against war criminal Mileikowsky-Netanyahu be dropped.
Also remember, Israel sterilized Ethiopian Jewish immigrant women… - for purity of Ashkenazi blood == racism
Ian Proud talks rubbish! Saddam Hussain wasn't quickly deposed, the West destroyed the country with sanctions, bombings for a decade before 'deposing him'. So too with Syria, sanctions, the US-created ISIS (Al-Queda) for 15 years before 'deposing him' and so too with Gaddafi, a horrendous NATO-lef bombing campaign before he was brutally murdered by a NATO proxy force.
As to Iran, Western self-deception and wishful thinking about the nature of Iran but also the desperation of the West, after all, Iran is the gateway to China.
