TheVoiceOfJoyce Join me Monday afternoon for an update on the Iranian War from UCLA. EVERY Sunday I Zoom with a “democratic “ friend in Tel Aviv, and we would like the Iranian War to end with a diplomatic agreement and the War in Lebanon to end with a diplomatic agreement. There will not be disarmament or regime changes in the near future. There won’t be a regime change in Israel either, before November, 2026. America?

TheVoiceOfJoyce The NATO Alliance was formed 4/4/49 and has established a willingness of all Nations under the treaty to be bound by the principles of Peace. An alliance that recognizes our differences and stands as a bulwark against any foreign nation threatening us militarily. One for all and all for one. It would be a good idea, if mistrust & War were replaced by a similar Treaty alliance in the Middle East. One unit, helping their individual people’s prosper without fear of War. Surely Peace is preferable to fear and destruction. The Gulf Countries, Israel, Iran need an alliance so they may all prosper, rather than suffer the devastation of War. Better to determine how to maintain and share resources!

NATO was signed 4/4/49 , its lasted as a bulwark against aggression and might have prevented two world wars, if it existed earlier. It’s time for a Middle Eastern Alliance.

TheVoiceOfJoyce What do you think will be a major consequence of the Iran War. Robert Reich lays out four scenarios for you to choose. I’m not so sure, Iran will wind up with a Nuclear Weapon. My 2 cents, if the World’s nations would agree to a nonaggression pact in the Region, that would be the best outcome. No more terrorism and dedicating our selves to infrastructure and improvements of our environment and people’s lives.

TheVoiceOfJoyce Not so fast, we can’t move away from Trump without Impeachment or the mid term elections. Trump can get out of this War with negotiations to end nuclear weapons and opening the Straits of Hormuz. Do we want a contained Iran? Yes. Who will negotiate the deal? Or will we find ourselves in an escalation trap? The Straits must open to lower the costs of fuel and give passage to the other petroleum products in our food chain. Meanwhile, the oil companies are making windfall profits and the American consumer will pay a hefty price for driving non electric cars and food. We could take away Fossil Fuel subsidies and recoup almost $1 Trillion. Enough to lessen our Healthcare premiums, etc. it’s a thought. Why subsidize Fossil Fuels when they’re making windfall profits at our expense?

TheVoiceOfJoyce I communicate regularly with my friend, Avi, in Israel and thought in this time of holiday, perhaps you’d benefit from a personal perspective on the mood in Israel. Like me, my friend supports Democracy, a Two State Solution and a pluralistic society. He’s feeling alone and sad on this Holiday. Read on and support people in Israel, like Avi. He’s been protesting against the Netanyahu Government for 3 years. Israelis aren’t monolithic, nor are Americans. We need to persuade others in our respective Communities, that Democracy, equality and freedom are the best options!
