Many savvy commentators believe that’s Netanyahu’s goal, and Netanyahu himself seems to confirm that. The Zhou regime in the US is acting as if it can handle the escalating crisis in the Middle East, but one can be forgiven for doubting that. Their war on Russia has been a monumental screw-up from get go, and there’s no reason to expect their genocide campaign in Palestine to work out any better. In fact, it bids fair to end far worse, as it quickly takes on global dimensions.
This feeling is growing not only around the USA, but across the world as their greed and hunger for power reveals their true essence and brutal nature.
“Voluntary.” Nice euphemism for forced transfer from a bombing devastated wasteland which is genocide under international law. Anyone who advocates for this is advocating for war crimes.
I cannot bear those who use hedging language, asking ‘smart’ questions designed to insinuate. ‘A truth that’s told with bad intent beats all the lies you can invent’.
Joe Biden “wily”? Anybody who believes that has to believe in Santa Claus and the Tooth Fairy as well. While I categorically reject the idea that Uncle Joe is “in charge” of anything, I do believe that those who are actually calling the shots possess the same blind arrogance that characterizes Biden’s dismissive smirk. Their completely unwarranted belief that they can “outsmart and outmaneuver” everyone else on the world stage is as delusional as it is dangerous. Virtually every move they make draws us closer and closer to WWIII. These people would be well advised to heed the admonition that “pride goes before the fall and a haughty spirit before destruction”
They may be able to ignore reality, but they cannot avoid the consequences of doing so.
I’ve said it before, but I’m convinced that 2024 is going to be very consequential and not in a good or pleasant way.
Agree with everything said. Bibi is like Zelensky: trying to drag the West into a war to save his backside. The only difference is that Netanyahu makes Z look like a penis-playing pianist when it comes to results. It looks like it's going to take a sunken US fleet to knock any sense into the neocons. And even then...
Morning Steg...but doesn't it have to be forces even greater than Z and Bibi who are propelling us forward towards the precipice? Of course they have their parts to play but the totality of US and Western malevolence everywhere you look seems overwhelming and unstoppable.
It's the "good old" A Clean Break: Project for a New American Century, circa the late 1990s. The objective is to take out Iran, after going through Iraq, Syria, Palestine and Lebanon.
They kicked it off by getting the US to attack Iraq after 9-11. Was Iraq in any way involved in 9-11? No. Did that matter? "Why am I asking irrelevant questions?"
It's the same thing today. Was Hezbollah involved in the October 7 attack? No. Should that stop Israel from attacking Iran? "Why am I asking irrelevant questions?"
Slightly off-topic, but has anyone seen/heard any updates on the seawater flooding of the Gaza tunnel system that was reported to have commenced 10 or so days ago? Was supposed to take weeks to complete, but, that, to me, was at least as telling of Netanyahu's plans for depopulating the Strip as simply razing the joint. Destroy what's left of an already-inadequate aquifer and, quite likely, collapse most surface structures, and you have a perfectly-uninhabitable (at least, at current levels) tract ripe for redevelopment/repurposing. Story just seemed to fall completely out of the news.
Agree hence the outpouring of grief for the Palestinians and growing hostility toward the "never again" crowd. who's claim to the land as ancestral is belied by the lineage of their central European history.
You should be careful about expressing your views in writing. People might get the idea that you've never bothered to read the history of Iran before expressing those views.
No, there won’t be peace, because as former Israeli PM Yitzhak Rabin said, “you don’t make peace with your friends, you make it with very unsavory enemies.”
For what it’s worth, I’m reliably informed by contractors that embassies in Jordan are upgrading bunkers right now.

I hate neo-cons and Zionists more than can be expresses in mere human language.

Proud of yourselves?
The "war on Russia has been a monumental screw-up from get go..."
Has it? There are still those who disagree:

A foundation of the CIA appears to be deception and propaganda. Since Day 1.
And without a proper vote.

Unbelievable!

2024 is shaping up to be full of unpleasant surprises.
And who was it--Catherine Herridge?--said: Expect a Black Swan event?
Yes, the journo from CBS predicts the black swan in 24. The narrative is being prepped.

Styxhexxenhammer has talked about this “salting of the earth” phenom
The US does Netanyahu’s and the zionist’s bidding. Just can’t understand it?
Money. It buys a lot of politicians who share the same god…….$
Yes, but pretty cynical of Hamas given the all-too-predictable and deadly Israeli over-reaction...
Is it cynical or was the calculation based on the notion of revealing the Israeli’sfor who they really are, not what’s been mythologized?
Yes, but even so a very high price to pay in Palestinian lives...

It’s tribal. All the way down. Tragically. IMHO
Our biggest enemy is ignorance. Do something about it.
No, there won’t be peace, because as former Israeli PM Yitzhak Rabin said, “you don’t make peace with your friends, you make it with very unsavory enemies.”
Former Israeli PM expressed the view that those goals were unachievable.
And he is mocking Putin's objectives in the SMO.
China and Russia stand aside and watch the American Empire weaken itself. Atrition
