As the May 13 date nears for Obama’s summit meeting with the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) led by Saudi Arabia, Obama is fueling the Wahabbi plan for genocidal population wars in the name of countering Iranian “aggression.” Since the P5+1 signing of the framework of a nuclear agreement with Iran on April 2nd, the GCC has been in genocidal overdrive, in a gruesome population war of civilian killings and blockades in Yemen and in plans for an escalated campaign against Syrian President Bashar al Assad through the formation of a “new” Syrian opposition army called the “Army of Conquest,” that involves Saudi-Turkish-GCC backing for jihadists.

On Wednesday, Reuters published a story—leaked to them by “U.S. sources”—that Obama “is expected to make a renewed U.S. push” to offer the GCC “allies … a region-wide defense system to guard against Iranian missiles.” According to a Washington intelligence source, this is only the latest revelation about the massive arms deals and weapons systems that Obama is planning to offer the GCC at the summit, which he called right after the P5+1 agreement in order to quiet the protests of the Gulf Sunni oligarchs about Iran.

But, Obama’s games on behalf of the British-Saudi empire are actually setting the conditions for a greater war—as Lyndon LaRouche communicated in the April 3, 2015, webcast where Jeff Steinberg delivered Mr. LaRouche’s response to the question: “what are the broader implications” of the deal that had been signed one day earlier.

“The problem is not with the deal,” Steinberg said. “The problem is what President Obama has systematically refused to deal with, since the day he came into office as President. He’s refused to deal with the fact that the Saudis represent a grave threat to the entire situation, not only in the Middle East, but around the world: That you’ve got a British-Saudi apparatus, that is behind the drive for war, the provocations of terrorism….”

So, under Obama, “if you’re unwilling to take on the real tough nut, the real source of instability, the real threat of general war today, then how can you even look at something like a P5+1 agreement, without coming to the conclusion that the whole thing is a set-up! And it’s virtually an invitation, to the Saudis, to their British patrons in the royal monarchy apparatus, to the Israelis, to launch the kinds of provocations that are certain to lead to, minimally, a full-blown regional war….”

Individual GCC countries have already purchased components of ballistic missile defense, such as Patriots and THAAD (Terminal-High Altitude Area Defense), but Obama is pushing for the GCC to form a unified military command so that the US can install a BMD system in the Gulf — a clear provocation.

Recall that Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov blasted the US and NATO for continuing to push for BMD systems, even though the nuclear deal with Iran was progressing and thereby removing the need for BMD systems. Deputy Prime Minister Dmitry Rogozin was even more explicit, noting in a Twitter post that the BMD was “never about Iran.”
