It's Osmosis Stupid...

Osmosis for those of you that don't remember their biology classes is the natural movement of liquid through a cell wall. I guess that the Obama administration forgot about this process when it comes to its policy in the Middle East. The natural void that is created by the lack of US involvement in the region is creating a natural process of Osmosis by other more hostile countries such as Russia, Iran and China. 

The latest example of this process is evident in Egypt. Today, the head of the Russian intelligence services landed in Cairo. The military regime is seeking help, it's seeking a life line in the fight against Islamic extremists but there is no life line coming from the US. These strategic mistakes have come to haunt us all in the past and it seems they will haunt our future as well.

Just this week Israel has attacked another missile depot near the Northern town of Latakia in Syria. This reminds us that we cannot just count on the US to protect the needy in Syria or the moderates in Egypt or Israel from Iran. 

Osmosis is caused by differences in pressure between cells, voids create these differences and voids always get filled, the question is with what? 

The 40 Year Old Lesson

Recently, I have been mostly traveling around Europe and listening to some of my ex service colleagues. What most of them want to hear when they meet me is questions around the way that the American administration is acting towards its foreign policy. I answer, what US Foreign Policy?

Over the past few months, you have not heard anything about what the US is actually doing, you have only heard about small reactionary steps to the Syrian "problem" or the overtures towards the Iranian regimes.

Given that this week marks the 40th anniversary of the 1973 Yom Kippur, we should all learn from our past mistakes!!! It is dangerous to appease and succumb to the Iranian games. The Iranians know that Obama is weak an therefore they will not bend or succumb to any demand that is meaningful to world peace or that takes away any substantial achievement from the effort to become a nuclear power. Another situation which its evident is that the administration is making a grave mistake is the reduction of support for the Egyptian Military. It's foolish of the administration to take this position which strengthens the Muslim Brotherhood and would lead to the reduction of any influence the US had so far in the region. The Egyptian Military leadership will just turn towards Russia or China for their funding, diminishing any US influence on any future outcome for this country. This is the opposite of what the US administration needs to do, even if it disagrees with the military leadership. Keeping chips in the poker game at least lets you still participate rather than being an outside observer.


Another lesson that we need to remember is that we should not ignore any threat, even if it sounds just like a crazy person talking, we should preemptively strike the ones who intend to harm us. This should be a clear message to Iran that Israel will not put its future existence on the line for the US. Israel will make its own future and will not let a weak leader dictate the future of the children of Israel.

Amen...

The Cyber War Turns Physical

Dear Readers,

The clandestine war continues between the West and the Terror sponsoring entities.

I think the scores are pretty much even now; no clear winner has been announced. Recently, the score was up for the terror entities; Benghazi, The Kenya Mall, the Assad Regime has attacked with Chemical weapons etc.

It seems like the West has gone on a counter attack. Recently, the Lebanese Army has moved into the Dahia, the Hezbollah controlled area of Beirut. There are only 1000 Hezbollah troops left in Syria out of the original 10,000, the organization has suffered casualties in Syria and lost credibility at home. In the War against Iran there has been two major developments; An Iranian spy was captured in Israel, exposing their attempt to create legitimate business ventures in Israel with an Iranian Belgian citizen that was just captured on his way out of Tel-Aviv.

The Second and most important blow was the assassination (Mossad Style) of the head of the Cyber unit for the revolutionary Guard in Iran. He was found shot (Two bullets to the heart, another Mossad trademark), in a forest north of Tehran. That was a big blow to the Cyber War operations of the Iranians.

Yesterday, the CIA and Seal Team 6 attacked and kidnapped two terror leaders; one was the head of the Somali Shabab leader and the other was the Libyan responsible for the Kenya attacks and just maybe connected to the Benghazi attacks. They kidnapped the latter straight off the streets of Tripoli, very cool.


I was visiting a weapons conference recently, and its true to say that all of this clandestine war has helped Iran come up on the world stage by creating it own weapons (Most are knockoffs of Chinese or North Korean Weapons but some did use technology from the downed US Drone).

However, do not worry, Israeli and US technologies are much more superior and would stay that way for many years.

One important conversation was about the new face of Iran. Bottom-line is , if you need nuclear energy for peace purposes, all the best to you. However, there are 17 countries in the world that do that but NONE of them need centrifuges to enrich Uranium. Enriching Uranium can ONLY be used for military purposes, so please do not be fooled by any word or even actions unless those begin by the full stoppage of Uranium enrichment on the Iranian side.
