Say what you like about President Obama, no one can accuse him of letting the grass grow under his feet, when it comes to settling scores.
No sooner had Israeli Prime Minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, been re-elected (read more here ) than people from Obama's team have leaked highly classified information relating to Israel's nuclear capabilities.
Be very clear, this leak was directed against Israel. The document also contained information on Britain's and France's capabilities but these were redacted and only that on Israel, remained.
Israel has incurred the wrath of Obama because they, and particularly Netanyahu, see the dangers in treating with Iran, as with nuclear deal and, very publicly, say so.
Maybe Israel should follow the example of Iran?
Here they are, going to get a sweetheart deal that will allow them to continue with their development of a nuclear capability and will see economic sanctions lifted and yet do the Iranians sit back and take it easy? Heavens no (or in Iran's case, hell no.)
They haven't even signed the deal with America but that hasn't stopped them from fomenting trouble and seeking regime change in Yemen. And this is where it starts to get really dangerous.
America has withdrawn troops from a base in Yemen because they feared it might be overrun by Al Qaeda terrorists. No Alamo type defence for Obama's boys! They ran for the hills. Is it any wonder when America has a President that fetes the family of a deserter, like Bowe Bergdahl? With all the money that is spent on America's military, you have to expect that the 'top brass' must know the consequences of this and previous capitulations and yet all of those 4 stars and admirals stay silent. They shame the uniform they wear and the brave soldiers, sailors and airmen who serve under them.
Let's assume that the military plead ignorance, for a moment. Let them take a look to the North, to a country called Iraq. At Obama's bidding, America ran away from here before the job was complete. America's military leaders knew and know that this was the wrong thing to do. The result? In the South of the country, Iran and its stooges allowed ISIS to advance far into the country and take over large swathes of central and Northern Iraq. I suppose Iran and their local militias figured that ISIS would focus on the North of the country but the Kurdish Peshmerga proved a far more formidable force than the 'turn tail and run' Iraqi Army and so ISIS has sought to change direction, southwards, and so started to step on Iran's toes. And now we have the position where Iran and its local militias have tried to take Tikrit but cannot do so and in steps the US air force to bomb a path for them. Of course, good form requires that the Iranians step back while America bombs and are not seen on the scene but don't doubt who will take the credit for ISIS' defeat.
The consequences of Obama's actions are many-fold.
Saudi Arabia and other Arabian Gulf countries can clearly see that Obama is abandoning the Gulf and allowing Iran a free rein to become the regional super-power. These other countries have intervened in Yemen, because America ran away and because they cannot allow Iran a foothold on the Arabian peninsula. Saudi Arabia is not in a position to stop Iran obtaining a nuclear weapon - Obama has seen to that. So we can now expect Saudi Arabia to get its own nuclear weapons. Perhaps buying from Pakistan or even North Korea? Saudi Arabia has plenty of what both of these countries need - money.
So courtesy of Obama, the Arabian Gulf will become a nuclear-armed region, in a short space of time.
Of course, will Israel sit tight and allow Iran to become a nuclear power? Or will they bite the bullet and bomb the Iranian facilities out of existence? Will Israel get its nuclear retaliation in, first? Might Israel figure, that the usual opprobrium that is heaped upon them, from Arab nations, would be more than somewhat muted, given that both Israel and these Arab nations share a common enemy - their neighbor, Iran. The Europeans would screech and moan but what else can they do? The US? What do Israel have to fear? They will get no favours or benefits from America for the next two years, only more of the same from the Obama White House. Russia will use any such event as an opportunity to expand in Ukraine and maybe even further westward. China? They could be bought off with Gulf oil.
Such is the crop from the seeds that Obama has sown!
Somebody on Twitter, suggested that Vice-President Joe Biden was Obama's impeachment insurance - people might consider impeaching Obama but then would look at the line of succession and abandon the notion, when they see that Biden is next in line! Biden does have an almost perverted interest in fondling other men's wives, which would be interesting on State occasions but surely the time has come to consider him the far lesser of the two evils?
Think of the damage that Obama can do in another 20 months. Move for articles of impeachment to be issued, now.
