The Israelis have a name for it: Mowing the Grass. They've been doing it for more than a decade now (reported on page 18 if anyone noticed) but the primary turf for Israel was merely Gaza, which is 1/10th the size of Rhode Island -- and even there Hamas springs back to life no matter how severe the cut. Now the US and Israel fantasize perpetually "mowing the grass" throughout the entire Muslim Middle East, a land mass roughly equivalent to the US itself and home to 6% of the world's population, none of whom want to be ruled by Zionists and Christians, or the West's lousiest gangsters (they have their own people for that.)..
It's not going to work and trying to make it work risks destroying all of the West along with all of the Middle East.
While you're about it, I suggest we all declare our own time zones & geographic coordinate system. No reason to accept someone else's space time coordinates!
my father used to mutter in a grim voice between long stints at Bells Labs, eyes transfixed to our small cathode ray television in our linoleum floored "rec room," that WWIII would be fought in the Middle East over oil. he wasn't wrong. he didn't view US imperialism as a necessary factor.
mind you, it was the 70s and fairly easy to ignore, and for a Jewish astrophysicist educated in England who believed he was on the side of good, the perks of that era made it especially so.
were he alive today, he might identify Israel and the US as aggressors who have destroyed the post-1945 international order.
Obama no doubt tried to temper what he knew was a likely fate.
The world war you describe is right out of Orwell’s 1984. Perpetual war that is used to justify economic deprivation and a boot-stomping surveillance police state with no democracy at home. The only bright spot is the “quiet revolution” you’ve mentioned.
Can we talk about how Lindsey Graham openly works with Israel and pledges to be with Israel until "OUR dying day"? He has so much power in this Administration and he pledges that he will allow America to die in Israel's support.
I love that your research brings about information that nobody else is talking about! I will add this. Even though we can continue the war, we might not be able to fund it. I obviously don't know that for a fact, but guessing it's a real possibility.
What WW2 premiered that is now the norm is wholesale slaughter of civilians. Gaza is of course the outstanding example with Israel trying to cover its atrocities by claiming it was going after HAMAS. The widespread terror in the West Bank shows that HAMAS has nothing to do with what Israel is after, the land free of the natives, the goal of Israel from its creation in 1948.
The Gulf War of 1991 showed clearly that massing troops condemns them to slaughter. The IDF can be massed because there is no opposition with air power and armor, let alone nuclear weapons.
As for the significance of this war for no reason but Israel, that is THE thing now up in neon lights. Rejection of Israel is starting to roll in the US and can only pick up momentum as every citizen can see we are spending a fortune, upending stability in many ways that hurts the American people, let alone the rest of the world. Most of all, we are spilling the blood of those who pledge allegiance to liberty and justice for all to protect ethnic supremacy.
All who died for the Union in the Civil War are turning in their graves. All who lost their lives, not least MLKJ, in the Civil Rights Movement are turning as well. The very conscience of America is being slapped in the face for a fanatic project that takes pride in killing and doesn't hesitate to stick the label of antisemite on all who question it.
The apocryphal phrase supposedly used by some Japanese officer at the start of WW2 was that the attack on Pearl Harbor had "awakened a sleeping giant". What could be said now regarding Israel's atrocious behavior is that it has "awakened a hypnotized giant" that it has had in complete service to it for decades.
The Trump administration is the last desperate effort for white supremacy in the US. In this Zionists find ready company and as we see now, support to the point of undermining the US. The course for Iran is not military as it can't compare (borrowing from the Ayatollah Khomeini) to the Great War Machine and the Little War Machine acting in concert. All it need do, at a high price in lives, is to refuse to surrender.
This will be intolerable to Israel because Iran can still get a nuclear weapon as long as it is sovereign. This only underlines the idiocy of what Trump has done. The irony is of little military power prevailing against unlimited destructive might. The US is so militarily overweight that it can't sustain its forces indefinitely. Iran might fold but given its physical size and population this is hardly likely as tiny Vietnam held out and the incredible Palestinians still stand defiant though being killed with impunity in the tiniest amount of land one can imagine. Israel is 4 times the size of what is left to the Palestinians. Iran is 80 times the size of Israel. The entire American and Israeli armies combined on the ground in Iran could not force surrender.
Beyond this "8 front war" of which Netanyahu boasts, Israel will not be able to sustain the impossible project of "living by the sword" as the made-in-America sword is withdrawn. Even the Israeli Merkava tank is made in the US as is the entire fighter/bomber component of the IAF. Zionism is and always has been a terrible project, not necessary as the US is a safe home for Jews, though Israel threatens that, but it has inflated in power to an astounding amount. Coming now is the air being let out of it to the relief of the world. A tiny country of 8 million people became effectively the world's only superpower by political and financial manipulation of the US. Historians will read the account of it with astonishment.
890 to 1 million a day of our tax dollars poured in to this “ so-called “ Iran War. After 30 days it will be enough to secure our US Social Security funds for generations to come.. or enough to supply Universal Healthcare for all US citizens.. blown up in a cloud of smoke leaving nothing good for humanity..” Behold they are as gods, knowing good and EVIL…Let us put them out of the garden, least they live forever!

The engine of war is dissected in "The Global Police State" by William I. Robinson (2019)
Spoiler, not even the high government officials are fully in control. Insane whims of Trump aside, "Global Capital" creates the incentives for war and they are simply acted on.
It is not a single person, state, or government that is doing all this, much less The People. The beast has been built (the military-industrial complex being one part of it, but far from the only part) and it needs to maintain itself.
There is nowhere else we can get this information so comprehensively articulated, thank you. Despite historical claims and one-time UN declarations, war has always been focused on someone's weapons and someone's helpless populations. Not to say that soldiers aren't killed; they are. But it seems that killing lots of civilians is what defines war now.

I declared today Saturday, fuck it at this point
lol

I strongly support this message and declare it as fact globally lol
Same people who admonished Zelensky in front of the entire world, saying that he would start WW3. Smh...

Holy crap Claire!!! I love your story!!! I can picture my grandpa saying something very similar! Thank you for sharing that. :)

World war 3 or World War V; these guys treat American lives like they’re playing a video game!
Unfortunately, we can’t wake up from this nightmare; it’s our new reality!
Another perceptive and informative piece.
hey thanks Billy!
You and the other independents are doing some heavy lifting.
Can we talk about how Lindsey Graham openly works with Israel and pledges to be with Israel until "OUR dying day"? He has so much power in this Administration and he pledges that he will allow America to die in Israel's support.
Him first: I volunteer him out of his closet as well as Trump's kids to go fight since they are so gung ho for WWIII

Glad you find it helpful !

I certainly hope WW3 doesn’t go nuclear ☢️ Anyone that thinks Trump wouldn’t do it has not been paying attention.
The mainstream media is irrelevant
You’re proof of that
