Remember when Winston said “Middle East conflict will be over faster than people were expecting “? Y-e-a-h, ’bout that
Comments by Winston Peters suggesting the Middle East conflict would resolve quickly now stand in stark contrast to escalating tensions involving Iran, raising questions about the Government’s preparedness and judgement.
Comrades.
I don’t want to suggest our feckless Government are sitting on their hands like cowards because they are paralysed by their criticism of Labour during a crisis, but, this Government are fecklessly sitting on their hands paralysed because they have criticised Labour so much for their COVID response.
Winston Peters’ prediction and what followed
Remember when Winston said “Middle East conflict will be over faster than people were expecting”? Yeah, ’bout that.
This was the Foreign Minister of NZ barely a week ago…
Why critics say the Government misread the conflict
…turns out Peters is full of shit and if this weird optimism is being shared by the rest of the Government, you understand why they haven’t planned for anything because they were all hoping for this to resolve itself.
This isn’t leadership, it’s incompetence.
How the Iran conflict escalated
Iran’s only red line was not to kill their holy man.
Trump and Israel’s opening move (right after bombing those school girls) was to murder Iran’s holy man.
Trump and Israel just killed the new Ayatollah’s brother, wife, son and dad, so why would he want to do anything to help Trump right now?
Why the Government is being accused of inaction
Why would Winston misread something so obvious to the rest of us?
I’m no PhD student of psychology, but killing someone’s wife, dad, son and brother seems like it might inspire a grudge in someone, apparently this is news to Winston.
This Government refuse to help you in a war you had no hand in making while refusing to criticise Trump and Israel from starting this illegal war!
From COVID criticism to crisis paralysis
They are paralysed with inaction because they criticised Labour for acting during COVID, this isn’t leadership, this is cowardice.
If leadership is about reading the moment correctly, then this moment has been badly misread — and the consequences are only just beginning.
Wishful thinking will not bring Trump’s War to an end any quicker. He has truly stirred up Iran, killed off loved family members, and now doesn’t want to play with the big boys. Nutcase, bullyboy, Trump should have been smart enough to see what he was getting into, except he was so enamored with himself he could only see him winning. Winston et al sat on the fence and are now semi-complicit. Iran will drag this out until they decide it is over. Trump is already looking like the halfwit he is and drowning in his incompetence. Do hope our RW enablers have the brains to factor this in come Nov, but I seriously doubt it!
