USA Needs to Make a Clean Break in Middle East

  My advice to President Trump:

The USA-Israeli war against Iran is going badly for the USA and Israel. THERE IS NO PAINLESS WAY FOR THE USA TO QUIT, NO PAINLESS “OFF-RAMP”. But there is a “BEST” way, THE CLEAN-BREAK WAY:

The BEST WAY for the USA to end its involvement in the MIDDLE-EAST QUAGMIRE is

THIS CLEAN-BREAK PROGRAM

The USA should:

               DECLARE

      [1] a unilateral end of USA military operations in the entire Middle-East

      [2] USA’s intention to leave the Middle-East (from a military perspective) entirely, closing all its military bases and removing all its military assets

               REQUEST

      [3] Iran’s help (or non-interference) in the USA’s efforts to remove all USA Military equipment, supplies, and personnel from the Middle-East

      [4] that Israel terminate its non-defensive military operations in the Middle-East, notably in Lebanon, Syria, the West-Bank, and East Jerusalem, end its occupations there, remove its soldiers and police from there, end the closure of Gaza, and remove all settlers from the all occupied territories, notably from the West-Bank, East Jerusalem, the Golan Heights, and Syria

               SIGNAL TO IRAN ITS GOOD FAITH BY

      [5] terminating all deliveries to Israel from the USA of military items (weapons, munitions, equipment, spare-parts), and preventing physical delivery of any such things already sent from the USA but not yet in Israeli hands

      [6] terminating all deliveries to Israel from the USA of money

      [7] terminating all military co-operation between the USA and Israel including expelling from the USA all Israeli military personnel (notably from the Pentagon) and ending all intelligence co-operation between the USA and Israel.

      [8] reducing the size of the Israeli mission to the USA and sending home (ordering to be recalled) almost all the people working there—and reciprocally with the USA’s mission in Israel


               EFFECT OF ADOPTING THIS PROGRAM

Adopting this program by the USA would make a CLEAN BREAK (in a military sense) for the USA from the Middle-East and its wars and, among other things, would show that the USA no longer participates in whatever would subsequently remain of the Israel/Iran, Israel/Lebanon, Israel/Syria, and Israel/Palestine wars, all of which should encourage both Iran and Israel to comply with its REQUESTS (set forth above).
