America is inflaming the mid-east

Pretty much everyone is aware of Israel's attempts to spark a regional war via assassination. What is getting overlooked is the U.S.'s direct involvement in the conflict.

These assassinations dominated the headlines, overshadowing the less-publicized US military attack on members of Kataib Hezbollah (KH) in Iraq, which also claimed the life of a senior Yemeni missile specialist, Hussein Abdullah Mastour al-Shabal.

Before Gaza people talked about Yemen and how the Saudis were committing genocide there. Now Yemen is back on the table.

The United States has confirmed it will resume sales of offensive weapons to Saudi Arabia, as concerns over human rights in the kingdom’s Yemen war give way to US hopes for it to play a role in resolving the conflict in Gaza.

More than three years after imposing limits on human rights grounds over Saudi strikes in Yemen, the state department said it would return to weapons sales “in regular order, with appropriate congressional notification and consultation”.

Speaking of the Saudis, it seems they won't even pay for the gas for their warplanes.
America's real involvement in starting a war in the mid-east is still in Syria.

On 7 August, a coalition of Syrian Arab tribes recaptured several key towns from US-backed Kurdish forces in the eastern countryside of Syria’s Deir Ezzor governorate. These tribesmen, led by Sheikh Ibrahim al-Hafl, launched the largest assault on Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) sites since the onset of the Arab tribal rebellion against the US-backed militia last year.

In response, the U.S. struck back yesterday.

U.S.-backed Syrian fighters carried out a rare attack Monday in eastern Syria, striking at three posts manned by pro-government gunmen and claiming that they killed 18 of them in a major escalation near the border with Iraq.

U.S. attack helicopters participated in attacking the tribes.

I hadn’t seen it spelled out. So since America and its poodles couldn’t get the Houthis to stop attacking ships it’s gonna have the Saudis restart the war.

America keeps bombing in Iraq, but when they retaliate we cry foul. Same thing with Israel. Not once has America told Israel not to bomb Syria, Iran or wherever, but when those countries have a right to 'self defense' and strike back we tell them it’s not in their best interest…if you get our drift. So tired of the hypocrisy.

Israel’s powerful Western backers are happy to let it run rampant throughout the region without making any meaningful warnings against its criminal actions or imposing any consequences on it whatsoever.

But as soon as it becomes clear that Israel has crossed a red line and is about to get hit, these Western empire managers turn into a bunch of hippies who just want peace and love.

Ritter said that Hezzbolah hacked the iron dome yesterday’s day all their missiles got through…shame if that happens when Iran attacks.

If urn, Hezbollah and theHouthis all attack at once Israel is toast. 2 of them have thousand of missiles and Israel will run out of theirs and so will we.

I think all sides should call this crap off and find a way to make peace.

@snoopydawg Been watching interview of Alastair Crooke on Judge Napolitano channel. Crooke basically has stated that Israel will start a war based on eschatological ideology of Zionism. In other words Israeli leadership is not driven by practicality, reason, morality, logic but by insane beliefs of Zionism. They are fanatics. And the USA is tagging along with the insanity. US politicians are more loyal to Zionist Israel than they are to US interests and are enabling that insanity.

Just as a footnote: one of the most obvious characteristics of the war in Ukraine is the Russians' clear superiority in the production of 135mm artillery shells. Perhaps we will soon get to see another display of that superiority -- in Syria. Syria, as you know well, is a Russian ally.
