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.

Thanks for the explanation on the Saudi weapons
.
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.
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.
The eschatological war.
US hopes for it to play a role in resolving the conflict in Gaza

Oh. OK. Got it.
Sending weapons is going to stop the slaughter?
Don't buy it. 'muricas duplicity at its finest.
question everything
Wider wars are so kewl and bitchen.
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.
The ruling classes need an extra party to make the rest of us feel as if we participate in democracy. That's what the Democrats are for. They make the US more durable than the Soviet Union was.
