WAR IS NOT HAPPENING IN THE MIDDLE EAST

 For the past 1,382 years the Persians have ceased being a warrior race. Ever since the Arabs defeated the Persian empire at the Battle of Nahavand in 642 AD. There has never been a Darius, Xerxes or Khosroe for the past 1,382 years. The Arabs came out of nowhere and just erased the Persian civilisation. Instead the Persians became a borrowed culture. Using a borrowed script, a borrowed language, borrowed rituals and borrowed myths. Even their hero is borrowed from the Arabs. Now the Persians are pretending to fight borrowed wars. Other peoples' wars. They do not even have their own wars to fight. The ayatollahs wanted to be solutions for all the world's problems. Instead they have become problems with no solutions in sight.

Why? Because there are no wars to be fought for their own people. The Persian people are not under any kind of threat. If you go to Tehran today and ask the Persian people 'Are you facing any imminent threats to your survival or to your security?" they will answer 'No we are not'. 

No Israeli soldier is going to drive a tank, or ride on a train or bus from Israel, across Jordan, across Saudi Arabia, across Iraq and then attack Iran. And no Iranian soldier can go in the opposite direction either. So Israel is the perfect boogeyman for the ayatollahs. They can threaten Israel all they want because they know Israel is FOUR countries away to be any real threat. 

The Persians are no more a warrior race. They even lost their country to just a few oil prospectors. Since 1979 the Persian people lost their land to the ayatollahs. The ayatollahs are just lazy, fat turds. Living off the labour of the people who they stomp under their feet.

The "retaliation" which the ayatollahs have been threatening is not happening. Its been seven days since the killing of Haniyeh. The latest news says the ayatollahs have called for an OIC summit and want to put it to the OIC to determine if Iran should retaliate against Israel. This is a non starter. Half the Arab countries are now pro Israel while almost all Arab countries are anti Iran. If it is true the ayatollahs are just looking for a scapegoat to not retaliate against Israel.

It is not impossible that the ayatollahs killed Ismail Haniyeh. In which case they will be committing a war crime if they attacked Israel.

The Islamic world never bothered to ask and they are beginning to forget 'how exactly was Ismail Haniyeh killed? 'The ayatollahs are not saying - despite seven days having gone by.

Was it a missile? Was it a drone? Was it a bomb? Was it a bird? Was it Superman? They are not saying.

A guided missile carrying a 7kg warhead usually flies for 60 seconds - where it can travel for about 4 km to 10 km (effective range). The rocket motor will 'burn' for all of three seconds, after which the missile glides on its own kinetic energy for the remaining 57 seconds.  A 7kg missile warhead can cause extensive damage to an apartment house. But the damage was minimal. The explosion came from inside Haniyeh's room, from under his bed.
