Western Iraq hasn’t exactly been a hotbed of activity lately, but a convoy of over 100 US military trucks poured across the border on Friday from neighboring Jordan, carrying large amounts of arms and vehicles to Ayn al-Asad base.
What they’re going to do with all these weapons is anyone’s guess, and US officials have largely not commented on the matter at all. Clearly they are either preparing to do something, or preparing for something they expect to happen.
The only clue of anything happening anywhere near this area is reports from earlier in the week accusing Iran of setting up a “major” base at al-Bukamal, the main border crossing in Syria.
This is all based on satellite images and conjecture, and it’s not clear this “base” is either Iranian or particularly major. Still, the US base that’s getting all these weapons is on the main highway leading to that border crossing. That’s not to say that the two reports are connected, but they’re the only stories out of this area.
You don’t have to be an expert on Human Nature to realize the US and friends are short sighted and suffer from Tunnel Vision. Look into the future, nobody dominates in a world full of Nuclear Weapons forever, it’s either get off our High Horse or Human Kind is doomed. Don’t think those people in the Bahamas were greater sinners then you, but unless you turn from your wickedness you will suffer a far greater fate. There is no room for Bullying in this world.
Looks like Bibi is going to do something horrible in the next few days to avoid going to prison after losing in the upcoming elections. What will it be, sinking the aircraft carrier USS Sitting Duck? A 9/11 redo? Who knows?

That is why I hate Israel so much – they profit so much from our pain that they help load the boxcars of crap that unload in our backyards. I really should celebrate Israel – I am of that ethnicity – I even have relatives living in that cursed country, but I have a deep antipathy for it.
I don’t think you are of “that ethnicity” Richard, unless you mean that Judaism is actually an ethnicity. I always thought it was a religion that worshiped the G-d of compassion, justice, and truth, as do I. Israel is about Zionism which is a racist diabolical ideology that is about none of those things, and has occupied both Palestine and the USA for decades. Actually, most Zionists in the USA are Christian, not Jewish.Judaism is a religion. Jewishness is an ethnicity (a social grouping that has a common cultural tradition). Not all Jews practice Judaism. Nor are all Jews Zionists, nor are all Zionists, as you point out, Jews.

Understanding how everything is hijacked by sociopaths searching for power is a never ending battle.
We have to deny our nature and remember that hiding a bad motive under a good one is the favorite trick of the elite.
The elites have always been good at hiding their evil motives under a cover of lies. This is a post-truth era. Don’t believe anything you read in the MSM or the controlled alternative media.
The trouble these days is that too many Jewish people are silent on the Zionists & Israeli abuses. They feel that besieged Israel needs to be supported right or wrong. Understandable but unhelpful. Worse, it seems one can conclude the leaders too are all to condoning of bad actons and worse attitudes. All supremeist thinking seems to inevitably leads to wholesale abuse. Look what is going on in Cashmere, Jamu. It’s a distant mirror of what Israel is doing to the Moslem and Christians in Israel. It’s thermonuclear madness setting a stage for endless confrontation.
How many Jewish people are politically involved at all? And of those, how many are Zionists and how many are vocally anti-Zionist? I’ve not seen any data and am not sure how hard it would be to gather. Anecdotally, Jews seem to be over-represented among vocal anti-Zionists in the circles I run in.

Israel has become what they hate the most, Nazis. Their racism and ethnic cleansing is no different, just different races are being cleansed from the area. If this were So. Africa, Wash. would not approve, but Wash. gets campaign funds from AIPAC and other Zionist lobbies, so that’s different.
That would qualify him as the ultimate PoS to jeopardize his country and the entire region just to avoid a trial.
The same for Trump as he contemplates losing the 2020 election unless he sucks up to the Zionist entity.
Trump wants the afghan deal to show he is the peace president. I don’t see him start anything but will be forced to join in once Nathan Yahoo does the unthinkable.
Psychopaths in power will do anything to maintain their positions.
Would not be surprised to see the US attacking “Iranian proxies” in Syria over some imagined or deliberately fomented incident. Or the same in Iraq. Or they may be expecting Israel to do so and want to be ready for anything.
The fact that they all went to a US airbase suggests they think they may have to defend that airbase against attack by…someone…because the US or Israel did something. This included tanks, so the expectation is ground combat.
What is interesting to me is – these trucks were in Jordan? Where did they come from originally? Off loaded from ships? An airlift? Are there US military movements in the region we should be aware of?
It is not complicated. Stria and Iraq have the temerity to control their joint birder crossing — on a highway. So US controlling Al-Tanf is not a big deal. But taking over OTHER free crossings in line with the goal of obstructing trade, infrastructure, free commerce. So much of getting out.
The Cradle of Civilization was shocked and awed out of existence in March 2003. As ye sow…
if history is any indication, these weapons will be in the hands of ISIS in just a few weeks. “as planned”
