Saudi options vis-à-vis Iran
Undoubtedly, Iran with its history of provocation, aggression and hostility favors the option of war because it believes that this will enable it to set the entire region on fire and make everyone pay a heavy price. This will then give Tehran the opportunity to sit at the negotiation table and try to tip the scales in favor of its own interest.Iran loses due to the no war option in the medium and long term, because its economic situation is worsening day by day. Furthermore, it may also lose the sympathy of countries, such as Germany, Russia and China that trade with it. The no war option will also contribute to exposing the falsehoods promoted by the Iranian media machine, as well as its allies and sympathizers.In this way it will be made clear that there was never any justification for...

Beijing’s new mega airport
THE world’s largest airport has just been opened by Chinese president President Xi Jinping. With a single building spanning an immense 700,000 square meters, Daxing International becomes Beijing’s second main airport. Beijing Capital was already straining to cope. After Atlanta in the United States, it has become the world’s busiest. Along with Daxing, it is expected to handle some 170 million passengers in the next five years.With its four runways and huge starfish single structure, it took less than five years to construct and is reported to have cost some $63 billion. Daxing is connected to Beijing, 43 kilometers away, by a new high-speed rail link that runs trains at 250 kph.

British Brexit bedlam
BRITISH politics are in chaos. The country’s Supreme Court has ruled unanimously that the new Conservative prime minister Boris Johnson acted illegally when he suspended parliament for five weeks on the grounds that as a new administration he was entitled to do this in preparation for a “Queen’s speech” in which he would set out his policies for the rest of the parliamentary term.Had British MPs not met for 24 working days until Oct. 14, there would have been only 14 more sessions before Oct. 31, the date at which parliament itself had set for the UK to leave the European Union. Johnson’s opponents argued this would have been insufficient time to debate any new deal that the government might possibly have extracted from EU negotiators in Brussels and to take a view on Brexit...

Will there be a war?
Since the Iranian terrorist attack on two oil facilities in Saudi Arabia on Sep.14, the most repeated question in the region is: “Will this lead to war?!CBS television reported that weapons experts are monitoring GPS systems that were recovered from the Abqaiq and Khurais oilfields in Saudi Arabia after being targeted by drones. CBS explained that GPS systems allow investigators to track the flight of drones and missiles from their target in Saudi Arabia to the airports or platforms from which they were launched.Investigators from the United States, France and the United Nations are analyzing the parts of the weapons used in the terrorist attack. After years of being out of the public eye, former US Secretary of State John Kerry appeared on CBS to say he believed that Iran was behind the...

Trump and Modi
As theater it was outstanding. As politics, it was a great deal more doubtful. Some 50,000 Texans crammed into a Houston stadium as President Donald Trump paraded with Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi for an event billed as “Howdy Modi!”. Trump and his guest were given a rousing welcome.Both leaders laid on the compliments to each other with a trowel. Trump said how thrilled he was to be in Texas with one of America’s “greatest, most devoted and most loyal friends”. Modi reciprocated saying of Trump: “From CEO to commander-in-chief, from boardrooms to the Oval Office, from studios to the global stage... he has left a lasting impact everywhere”.Pundits commented that this mutual backslapping benefited both leaders. Trump wants to win the Indian vote in next year’s...

A child trying to do a man’s job
The world’s climate is changing. Of this there can be no doubt. The key question is whether this increasingly dramatic shift is happening entirely because of man-made activities or is, by and large, part and parcel of a meteorological cycle that has always been happening. There is an argument that pollution created by human activities has contributed to climate change. But the concept that the seemingly radical changes to our weather are entirely due to the effusion of “greenhouse” gases is surely wrong.It is perhaps evidence of the dubiousness of this analysis that it is being championed by a sixteen year-old Swedish girl, Greta Thunberg who held the UN climate change summit in thrall as she blasted politicians for their failure to act to reverse the phenomenon. Ms. Thunberg is an...

Israel’s murderous intent
The Israelis are known for breaking every international convention in their quest to silence those they perceive to be a threat to their dream of the Zionist control of Palestinian land. In the past, they have carried out many assassinations of Arab and non-Arab figures sympathetic to the Palestinian cause.Deep within the bowels of the Mossad and the existing machinery of the Israeli government, there are also elements that believe that even heads of state should not be immune from their policy of selected target assassinations.A perfect example of such well-hidden secrets came to light several years ago during Obama’s presidency when Andrew Adler, owner-publisher of the US-based Atlanta Jewish Times, suggested that Israel may have considered that someday they would have to “order a...

Egypt’s MB prisoners seek release
In the riots that followed the 2013 fall of Egyptian president Mohamed Morsi, dozens of policemen and many civilians were murdered and Coptic churches torched. The new government of Abdel Fattah Al-Sisi acted firmly to suppress the violence. Thousands of Muslim Brotherhood (MB) members arrested and convicted for their part in the bloody rampages were sentenced to long terms of imprisonment.Earlier this month the government received a petition from 1,500 of these prisoners, who described themselves as “junior members” of the Brotherhood. Saying they wanted to end their “ordeal”, they sought to be released in return for promises to abandon the MB, play no further role in politics and give up any religious role in the country. They even offered to pay $5,000 each to end their...
