Arms Race

Iraq was used to attack Iran for more than eight years between 1980 ~ 1988, spy information was extended to Iraq so that attacks become successful in terms of damages. In that time Iraq was fully supported financially and strategically.

We have witnessed the planned attacks on Iraq in 1989 where thousands of tons of explosive showered on innocent people. Since then the crises of the Middle East has deepened a lot. Occupying Quwait’s resources financially after a planed instigation to Iraq to invade her.

Saudi Arabia was threatened that Iraq may attack her and the got in the net, asked help of US forces, which stayed there for a time period eating Saudi Arabia’s resources in terms of Insurance and other expenses of US soldiers. That oil rich country first time in the history went under debt.

Then in 2003 invading Iraq and then Afghanistan was also based on nefarious designs. Using monitoring items to make sectarians groups, making three major groups including Kurds. Now it is in the planning to change the map of Iraq so that another state should become dependent to US policies and support.

Dealing with India based on nuclear deal is to boost arms race in Asia also, which is already very fast. Deal with Saudi Arabia worth 20 billion dollar is also a part of that design to make this area more problematic in western interests.

If Saudi Arabia really need the arms to fight the so called war on terror, she should look towards Muslim countries producing high quality weapons like Pakistan. But Saudi Arabia and other Muslim countries should establish their own baseline for the requirement of arms so that a race is prevented. On the other hand to save un-necessary monitory outflow to US should stop for the betterment of the earth.
