Sunday’s overnight attack by the Biden Administration hit putative targets in Iraq and Syria. The targets were supposed to be an Iraqi militia that was backed by Iran, and this quickly was expanded in narratives into just being Iran.
As Biden steps up violence in Iraq and Syria, the media is making some predictions of Iran retaliating. Yet realistically Iran isn’t the one that was attacked in the first place, it was an Iraqi Shi’ite militia, at best, and Syrian civilians and food depots at least in part.
We’ve already seen retaliation against US troops in Syria, by the targeted Iraqi militia. This has led to some escalation of violence, talk of open warfare, and some serious criticism from the Iraqi government, which termed it a sovereignty violation.
Other Iraqi militias are trying to keep things calm, assuming the US doesn’t further escalate, and that’s a big “if” with the Biden Administration seeing this as yet another round of attacks against Iran.
Irrespective of how the US sees it, Iran is largely uninvolved. The targeted militia is Shi’ite, but has only nominal loyalty to Iran, and Iran’s loyalty to them is probably even more limited in practice. Iran offered criticism of Biden for the attacks, but doesn’t seem to be at play in attacking anybody.
If the US further escalates this fighting, it’s likely to be with Iraqi factions, and at the expense of US-Iraq ties. The US may stubbornly keep talking about Iran, but that is just a misunderstanding that the US has gotten in the habit of repeating.
It was obviously on orders from Naftali & Kohavi. Why the mystification? The Zionist grande strategy is only half (Abraham Accords, annexation of Jerusalem and Golan) done. Using the US it has destroyed the post ’46 international arrangements; but the populations are yet unwilling to submit to Zionist hegemony.
You gotta hand it to’ m; like their ideological sibling, they do have big ideas.
The 1946 arrangements were accepted by the Zionists and rejected by the Arabs.The Palestinian Arabs fought and lost,5 professional Arab armies then invaded and were defeated, so who destroyed the 1946 accords?
The Zionists never intended to accept it. They just used it as a starting point. They were quite clear about that intention from Day One.
Your mind reading powers are amazing.
It is proudly admitted in the memoirs of the leaders of that time. Deny it anyway?
The genocidal Zionist invaders, that’s who, people who don’t even have the right to be there, let alone that of “accepting arrangements” by colonialist powers who don’t have the right to give away what is not theirs. Also, “defeating armies” (who, by the way, never invaded) does not confer any rights but only confirms the Zionist invaders’ status as criminals against humanity — same as that of the Nazi leaders hanged at Nuremberg.
The Palestinian people had no obligation to accept some uninvited colonial nonsense concocted on their own land. And they still don’t have any obligation to accept the presence of invaders on any of it.
1.There were always some Jews living in Palestine-in 1967, The PLO stated that they would be exterminated.
2.Many hundreds of thousands of Jews were driven out of the Arab world;they took the places of Palestinians who lost their homes.
3.In 1948,5 Arab armies did invade-you are ignorant beyond belief.
4. As the Palestinian populations are growing,there is no genocide.
5.Much land was purchased from Arabs-that gives a person a right to ownership
6..As far as “Nazis”,takes one to know one.
1. Jewish Palestinians (4%) who were peaceful residents when the Zionists announced their intention to invade and colonize Palestine (1896) have always been recognized by all PLO as full members of the Palestinian nation.
2. Arab Jews throughout the Middle East emigrated as a result of Zionist propaganda and sabotage
3. The armies of neighboring states never could invade because the Zionist invaders were met after they had widely invaded even outside the partition line
4. Read the UN Convention on Genocide to avoid embarrassing yourself
5. Land purchase by undesirable foreigners does not give any rights to participation in sovereignty over it
6. The similarity of Zionism to Nazism is every day more evident, especially as far as the crime of aggression and colonization is considered
Nothing new. Whether it’s Iraq or Iran, it’s all the same to a distracted audience. Al Qaeda attacked us in 2001. They said Iraq was working with Al Qaeda and attacked Iraq. Then they supported Al Qaeda to topple the government in Syria. The same war criminals who lied us into the Iraq and Syria wars are celebrated in the MSM as patriotic Americans. All their propaganda seems easily digested by the distracted US population.
All the while the military industrial complex keeps the (taxpayer) dollars rolling in. You go ‘Murica!
The US has never stopped killing, mostly civilians, mostly not even knowing who they are.
“Portend more?” More like debunks the lies about it ending.
