Neil Clark, the British journalist/evil scumbag who called Iraqi translators working for UK forces “traitors,” and said they should be slaughtered by the “true heroes” of Iraq (read: Al Qaeda), now suggests that Iran, Russia, Syria and Venezuela should join together to declare war on the US.
Today’s developments are all very welcome. But more is still needed to deter an illegal U.S. attack on Iran. The formation of a mutual defence pact between Russia, Iran, Syria, Venuezuela and any other countries threatened by neocon aggression is urgently required.
The pact would stipulate that an attack on any of the states would be considered an attack on them all: and would be met with immediate military retalitation, as well as economic measures, such as the disruption of oil supplies.
There’s little doubt that had Britain, France, the Soviet Union and Czechoslovakia signed such a mutual defence pact in the 1930s, Hitler’s military aggression would have been halted. And during the Cold War, the self-defence alliances of NATO and the Warsaw Pact prevented war between the US and the Soviet Union.
The lessons of history are clear: to deter aggression, countries with a common foe need to stick together and guarantee to come to each other’s defence if attacked.
A US attack on Iran would be a catastrophe. To avoid it, we need more than just words from President Putin, but action to form a new defensive military alliance, to deter the neocon bully boys from dragging us into yet another war.
