Former US Security Adviser Warns of Iran Willing to sacrifice Arab Lives to Achieve Goals

[Social Media]

 

HR McMaster, former US national security adviser, has sounded the alarm on Iran's aggressive agenda in the Middle East, highlighting its willingness to sacrifice Arab lives to achieve its goals of eliminating Western influence and annihilating Israel. McMaster's remarks come amidst escalating tensions between Iran and Israel, marked by recent retaliatory strikes.

 

Speaking to Sky News, McMaster emphasized Iran's strategic aim of expelling Western powers from the region to establish hegemonic control and eradicate Israel. He warned of Iran's willingness to perpetuate violence and suffering, urging recognition of the true source of aggression to prevent further escalation.

 

McMaster stressed the potential for the West, including the US and UK, to become embroiled in responding to Iranian aggression. He advocated for imposing severe costs on Iran, suggesting non-military measures such as enforcing existing sanctions, a move he believes the Biden administration has overlooked.

 

Moreover, McMaster expressed concern over the UK's diminished military capacity, lamenting the vulnerability it poses in the face of evolving threats like missiles and drones. He emphasized the importance of maintaining robust defense capabilities to effectively deter conflict and ensure national security.

 

The former security adviser underscored the need for NATO countries to fulfill their defense spending commitments, warning against complacency in assessing geopolitical realities and the imperative of demonstrating strength to deter aggression.

 

As tensions simmer in the Middle East and challenges to security persist, McMaster's insights serve as a sobering reminder of the complex dynamics at play and the necessity of strategic foresight in safeguarding global stability.

Another mad regime that should disappear as soon as possible .

If the Iranians were people free to do and say what they think , there were no crazy Mullahs in power .

Wouldnt it be easier to declare Iran has WMD's?  It worked last time though the whole world knew it was absolute rubbish.

Isn't that what the US is doing with Ukraine to achieve its goals of eliminating Russia as a world power?

Bit late for expecting a revival of a BAOR equivalent military. Mind you, if they spent the 3 billion quid Cameron has promised for Ukraine yearly on the UK's military they might have a chance of rescuing something from the current shambles.

Just wait a few years and they will likely have their very own nuclear force. Will that qualify for WMDs?

Iran is not Arabic so I don't believe they think twice about their Arabic neighbors.

[nauseus]

I wonder which Arabs he was referring to?

[stevenl]

Right, one of the people involved in the decision to scrap the agreement that contained Iran is now doubling down on that.

His assessment clearly was wrong then and his references to 'Arabs' doesn't install any faith in his opinion this time.

Youre stating the obvious there, the US does nothing except to serve its own interests.

Yeah, Obama loved him some Iran.

I agree with you. However the UK military problems can be laid at the feet of the politicians. They are constantly cutting the military and at the same time taking on more commitments than the UK can handle with reduced personnel and equipment.

 

For example, the UK has only 2 aircraft carriers. One seems to be permanently around the Arab Gulf and the Red Sea, which leaves one committed to cover the rest of the world. If either one breaks down, is due a major overhaul, or is even sunk or disabled, perhaps on the other side of the world, there are NO replacements available. It will take years to build another one, and then you will have to find enough qualified staff within a reduced military to crew it, plus enough aircraft to equip it.

 

During WW2, a Wellington bomber was built from scratch in a 24 hour period. Nowadays it will take weeks or months to replace a single Eurofighter, one reason for that, is that the parts come from several different countries with different work rates.

Also they have become too complex and expensive. A Spitfire may have been complicated, but it didn't depend on a computer to work. A single code error on a modern plane might ground it, but a Hurricane could be patched up overnight and fly next day.

Obviously we can't go back to prop planes, but I don't know what the solution is.

Again, aircraft now so complicated it apparently takes years to produce a competent pilot. It's no longer possible to train them in a short time. So if a lot are lost early on, where are the replacements going to come from?
