Realpolitik's Delight: Persia No More

Realpolitik's Delight: Persia No More!

 In the world of realism, calculated oppression and tyranny are to be applauded.

I am not sure if Macchiavelli learned from Sun Tzu, but it seems each masterful despot learns to butcher and brutalize in their own unique ways, to the effective result of total control.

Or at at least dominance in some way or fashion.

Gengis Khan, Attila the Hun, Alexander the Great, Napoleon, Hitler, Stalin, and Mao.

They knew how to take lands the real way.

Some would accuse the United States presidents enabling its people and soldiers to do some of the same tactics against the native Americans. But it was not as fast and sweeping and brutal, in totality.

Let that be a debate for James Alexander Thom.

Russia, under Putin, or whichever self-designated monarch king, and the US president du jeur, decide to end the whole pretext of Teheran power. They decide to carve up the remaining empire of Persia: the United States controls Kurdistan, thus allowing the long-suffering Kurds a chance at a homeland, and Baluchistan, permitting Baluchis to have their space, negotiated with Pakistan.

Russia gets the rest: the capital, the holy cities, the Gulf. And the US is promised to stay away from other potential Russian conflicts in Europe and elsewhere.

"Peace in our time," as Neville Chamberlain quothed.

A perfect plan for world peace.

Questions, realpolitik fans?

Ah, China....
