The nuclear clock is ticking ever faster.
Take your pick, North Korea or Iran.
Or rather, pick your poison.
You may well pick North Korea, based on their reaction this past week because it sees as an act of war the huge military exercise currently taking place by South Korea and the US.
Again, funny-looking (but demented) strong man Kim Jong-Il is making noises about retaliating if any sanctions are applied to his country, but most of all by the display of military might by the US and South Korea, meant to send a message to North Kores in response their sinking of a South Korean navy ship last March .
Like a broken record, each time the world community chastises him for not disassembling his nuclear arsenal he threatens to wipe South Korea off the map, along with the 30,000 American troops stationed there.
Not just that, but he says he would even go further, as he would fire his missiles towards US territory, as in Hawaii and Alaska, and by the way hit Japan while he is at it.
Which is why Japan is considering seriously building its own nuclear arsenal. And we all know they can do it and really fast.
However, this time North Korea's threats of retaliation take on great credibility in view of their sinking by torpedo of the South Korean ship.
Just as threatening as the North Korean bozo is, and I do think he may actually go for it, there is another threat looming in Iran, also lead by another saber rattling bozo, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, its president.
Iran has not achieved building a nuclear weapon YET, but is ever getting closer to doing so.
So everyone is nervous.
Yes, Israel is plenty nervous, of course. The US is pretty nervous as well.
The other Islamic countries in the region are crapping in their pants.
They believe that a nuclear Iran will try to dominate that region of the world and will try to do so by force.
A nuclear Iran, lead by men just as mentally unstable as the nut in North Korea with the huge nogging.
Mahmoud Ahmajinejad, as we know continues to threat the international community if it does anything to hurt his country, such as a naval blockade, where ships going in and out are checked for weapons or weapon-making materials, freezing their assets overseas or interfering with its 'peaceful' nuclear power pursuit.
For you see, Iran, flush with oil reserves wants us to believe that it needs nuclear power plants as the source of the country's energy, such as electricity.
And we already know that for years he has promised to attack Israel with nuclear missiles in order to exterminate the Jewish nation. He does not just want to win a war against the Jews, but wants to kill every Jewish man, woman and child.
He is so blinded by his hate, or manufactured hatred, that he continually claims that the Jewish Holocaust during World War II, when over 6 million Jews were exterminated by the Nazis, mostly in concentration camps is false, just a very well created propaganda illusion created by Jews. According to him, the films, photos and first and second person accounts of the mass executions of Jews by the Germans is just a clever made up propaganda by Jews in order to first gain a homeland, as they did in 1948, and also to perpetuate the 'myth' of their eons-long persecution by others.
He even claims that the Jews occupying present day Israel are not even the legitimate descendants of the nation of Israel, to whom God promised such land.
He says that Palestinians are the ones supposed to own that land.
But a nuclear Iran no longer is just a threat to Israel. The fear of a nuclear Iran is equally felt and publicly expressed by its Islamic neighbors and though not voiced publicly, also by the rest of the Arab world.
Actually one Islamic nation did voice such fear openly, The United Arab Emirates, the consortium of seven Arab emirates located on the Persian Gulf, close enough to Iran to be swallowed whole by Iran in a matter of hours if it chose to do so.
They fear that a nuclear Iran would become a major world power bent on conquest of its neighbors and political control over the rest of the Middle East, sort of like the post Second World War dominance of the Soviet Union over Eastern Europe.
Clearly, Iran's intentions are two-fold, to gain political, military and physical control of the Middle Eastern Muslim countries and destroying Israel, the only non-Muslim and only democratic nation in the region.
A military alliance between nuclear Iran and North Korea would create the greatest threat the world has ever faced. A threat greater than Germany and Japan in the 1930s and during WWII.
Why?
Because while Germany and Japan were bent on world domination by force, deploying millions of troops and then state of the art military technology, which lead to the death of some 50 million people, before the US, Great Britain, Russia and their western allies crushed them after some 6 years of war, WWII still was a conventional war, with conventional hand to hand combat, tanks, airplanes, etc.
Only after the US dropped the first two atomic bombs ever made on Japan, did the war finally end.
That point in time was the starting point of the passing of old military strategies onto the nuclear age, where future world wars would be fought essentially by nuclear-tipped missiles and jet planes dropping nuclear bombs on enemy military and industrial installations as well as cities, thereby killing hundreds of thousands and even millions with the use of a single weapon, vacating the necessity for ground troops, tanks and other traditional weapons of war.
That is why the Iran/North Korea twin nuclear menace is the greatest threat the world has ever faced, as it could very well lead to the destruction of whole countries and millions of people within a couple of days, and if the war continues past those initial days it could even lead to the destruction of the planet as we know it, should both sides decide to use the whole nuclear arsenal in their possession, as while whole countries would be destroyed, the eventual nuclear fallout would kill most of the rest of humanity, if not all within weeks.
Sixty five million years ago a meteorite hit the globe with the force of 10,000 nuclear bombs, killing the dinosaurs and all animal and plant life on earth. Well, the world today has well over 20,000 nuclear bombs.
So the west, lead by the US and Israel is in quite a dilemma:
Should they allow these two countries to become ever more powerful and allow them to throw their nuclear weight around, which would eventually lead to war anyway. Or should they attack these two countries preemptively by surprise and destroy their nuclear capabilities before they become too powerful to be stopped.
The first option would eventually lead to a nuclear holocaust. The second is one the west is not too sure about, as they do not know if such a preemptive strike would actually destroy their nuclear capabilities, which would lead to such holocaust anyway.
This is a decision which Israel is grappling with right now.
They take Iran seriously and are convinced that once the Iranians build their first nuclear weapons they will strike Israel with the missiles they already possess. So Israel feels they must destroy Iran's nuclear facilities before they can do so.
But Israel is not sure they can actually destroy all of Iran's nuclear installations, which are scattered all over the country and are also hidden well below ground precisely to withstand such attacks.
On the other hand, Israel feels that not trying that would lead to its destruction, even if they have enough lead time to deploy their planes loaded with nuclear weapons.
The thinking there is that if they are going to be destroyed anyway, they at least could cause plenty of damage in retaliation before expiring. Like a person pinned against a wall by assailants, they know they will get beat up, but they feel they can at least land a couple of punches before they go down.
It is my personal believe, based on my present observations and on Israel's history of never backing down while being threatened or attacked, that they will attack Iran once they are assured that the creation of an Iranian nuclear bomb is eminent.
Actually, were it not for the pressure applied by the US not to do so now, Israel would have already done that. Their thinking is 'Why wait for the inevitable when we can destroy their nuclear machine now?'
But the US, which historically has been Israel's main ally and all along has been committed to go to Israel's defense in the event of such a war, is trying to delay the inevitable, naively thinking they can convince the Iranians to back down from building nuclear weapons.
These naivete is the product of having a president that is inept and that does not have a clue where global affairs are concerned, and by the way also sympathizes with the Palestinians, who demand a nation of their own.
This president, Barack Obama is also very weak-minded in matters dealing with foreign affairs and is afraid of both international criticism and afraid of the response by both Russia and China.
A George Bush, or even better, a Ronald Reagan would have already given the green light to Israel to attack Iran, backed by the US.
A Ronald Reagan would tell the international community to stuff it and would dare Russia and China to interfere, dangling its military superiority in front of their eyes.
Russia and China, evil as they are cringe at the thought of losing Moscow and Beijing to a couple of American nuclear bombs. Not just because of the loss of life, but because it would be a huge psychological punch to its people. They would much rather save their capitals over the appetizing prospect of bombing Washington and New York.
At the other end of the map still lies North Korea, actually a worse threat than Iran.
North Korea already possesses a number of nuclear weapons, aimed towards South Korea, whose capital is just a handful of miles south of their border, where 30,000 US troops are stationed, also aimed towards Japan, which has close to 130 million people and thousands of American troops, and is a major ally of the US, and towards Hawaii and Alaska, as their missiles have already proven to reach that far.
In fact, even if North Korea and Iran do not have a military pact, if Iran starts a nuclear war in the Middle East, they would take advantage of such a diversion to attack its enemies.
And to take it even further, while the US is occupied with Iran and North Korea, China would use such the diversion to at the very least invade Taiwan, another ally of the US, withe which it has a military alliance. So a war started by Iran and North Korea could also involve China as well.
And there is also the scenario of India and Pakistan going to war against each other, as the US would again be too busy fighting wars on multiple fronts to stop these long-time nuclear enemies from attacking each other.
And lastly there is the scenario of Russia taking advantage of these events by carrying on its current plans of recovering the former Soviet satellite countries on Eastern Europe, if not expanding even further.
So what could be started by Iran and or North Korea, or even by Israel could set off a domino effect that would involve the whole world, perhaps with the sole exceptions of Africa and Latin America, but I would not rule them out, either, as there are mad leaders in those regions as well.
And my friends, this could take place as far off as a couple of years from now, or as soon as a few months from now, if not sooner.
I am not a sage. I am not a prophet, although plenty of prophets, mainly in the Bible have pointed to this day, 'the end of days.'
But I am smart enough to watch closely what is taking place all over the world as we speak, analyze it and arrive at this conclusion, an educated conclusion.
My only suggestion to you is to make your peace with God and pray that the pain is short-lived.
May God bless us all.
