| The Old foes threatened and counter-threatened to literally blow each other to smithereens. |
It
was probably the most nerve-wracking week in International politics and
diplomacy in recent times. A week that humbled experts in the formless subject
of diplomacy.
It’s a week with far-reaching effects. Consequences no
one completely has full grasp of. The details are desperately difficult to cut
into shape for an article.
President Donald J. Trump’s announcement after about a
week of threats and counter-threats that it seemed, “Iran was standing down”
was the first attempt at collective relief. This delicate impression of a
ceasefire however began hemorrhaging once it became clear the Iranian military had in
fact accidentally downed a Ukrainian passenger aircraft killing all 176 souls
on board. The death of all 176 was a disaster of some historical
proportions. A tragic and colossal mess. It has since become the parturient for
the very loud and intense protests in the powerful Middle Eastern nation.
