Two of the nations hardest hit by coronavirus, the United States and Iran, seem to be constantly on the verge of military escalation against one another, and after multiple previous flareups already this year, both sides seem to be prepared for a new, imminent crisis.
Over the past two weeks, the US has been reported to be planning a military offensive in Iraq to wipe out militias that the US believes to be aligned with Iran. President Trump also claimed this week that Iran was plotting a “sneak attack.”
Iran has denied this, and after previous reports that the US sees Iran as too busy with the coronavirus to start any fights, Centcom Commander Gen. Kenneth McKenzie argues it is actually making Iran “more dangerous,” while analysts are saying that both nations may be more inclined to escalate with the virus serving as political cover.
Iraq has been opposed to any such fighting, and has been very vocal about not wanting the US and Iran to fight a proxy war, and if they must, they definitely don’t want Iraq to serve as the battleground. So far, Iraq’s objections seem to be ignored.
Our attack upon Iran reminds me of a “dark comedy” scene in “Dr. Strangelove” – just about the time, everyone in the War Room is starting to realize the gravity of the situation, General Buck gets into a wrestling match with the Soviet Ambassador over a clandestine photographing “the big map”. The military is capable of unlimited “assh-lism”. Must they go out of their way to destroy the World – Nature seems perfectly capable of doing the job?
Gentlemen..there will be no fighting in the war room !
Proxy wars are like onions: there are layers and layers. The US is fighting a proxy war with Iran through Iraq. If it leads to direction confrontation with Tehran the next layer is the proxy war with Moscow and Beijing. This is the final layer, that history suggests can only end in world war.

They don’t care as long as the money keeps rolling in to the military-industrial complex.
Sure, “both sides”. I’m wondering if the rhetoric would be the same if the roles were reversed. That Iran had surrounded the US with military assets, agreed to and then dropped out of the JCPOA even though the US was in compliance, imposed sanctions with the stated purpose of destroying the US economy with sanctions from hell and offed on of our generals.
Note: Offing one of our generals…..I better not.
The “exceptional nation” has never been very good at seeing things from the other’s side… EVER!
Born in treason, drenched in the blood of innocents.
And, as always, valuing capital over people.
Centcom Commander Gen. Kenneth McKenzie argues…
It is not too complicated to determine the ultimate source of this insanity from centcom, state dept: the dc “think” tanks which depend on war threats, escalation.
Will not name here but the zionist supported tanks are issuing “studies,” (sic), articles, etc, some actually co-authored by state dept officials “no relief on sanctions, Iranian threat increases, etc, etc”
Sick, sick, but obvious.
Not just sick but evil.
Both Iran and China understand that they have already been attacked by the USA, both economically and, most likely, biologically. They are supporting each other materially to meet the challenges of COVID-19 and both are fully prepared to defend themselves against anything we can throw at them short of an all-out nuclear attack. The “fog of war” created by our MSM surrounding all of this is intentional…
“If you can get people focused on asking the wrong question, you don’t care about the answers. The wrong question is whether the original virus came from a bat or a pangolin or a banana, but that’s irrelevant. It wasn’t a bat or a banana that infected the people in Wuhan, but a live person – or a person carrying a live virus in a pail. The right questions to ask relate to the identity of that person and the source of the contents of that pail, and those answers seem to lead us to the USA. Certainly, they are not to be found in China.”

“short pf an all out nuclear war”
If Iran had nuclear weapons the US would not dare to be so stupid as to attack them..
We all know they don’t…
The US can’t stop its warmongering, even in the middle of a pandemic. What an evil country.
