War highlights strained alliances, unfettered militaries and a Washington with renewed appetite for regime change
A joint US-Israeli operation that appeared to use nuclear negotiations as cover. Gulf leaders courting Donald Trump as he decided to launch a major Middle Eastern intervention. Europe boxed out and a G7 defence minister caught so off-guard that he was grounded in Dubai as the bombs fell. And from Moscow, a strongly worded condemnation of the missile strikes against a fellow member of the anti-US “axis of upheaval” – and little else.
The war unleashed by the US and Israel on Saturday has exposed the new rules of geopolitics in Trump’s second presidency, with strained alliances, unfettered militaries and a Washington that has regained its appetite for regime change.
Despite an administration that claimed it would pull back from the Middle East and Europe in order to focus instead on the growing threat from China, the White House has toppled one leader in Latin America and has launched another war – that could easily become a regional conflict – with no clear plan for a transfer of power in Iran.
My last post shows I have baggage, regarding the USA and Israel slaughtering another 150 innocent children? I am as guilty of this as Netenyahu is for his crimes against humanity and the USA for backing Israel all the way. As a parent I am angry that none of those little girls gets to grow up and have a life as a result if uncle Sam’s heavy handed tactics.
We both obviously have different definitions of what a “precision strike” is. You think that several hellfire missiles obliterating 2 vehicles and 10 people is a precision strike where I would call a precision strike one where the target is taken out alone with no innocent bystanders also murdered.
When is America going to wake up and realise that Hollywood has been lying to them for years, America are the bad guys. The Trump guy in charge is the perfect embodiment of American values, he is the president America deserves. The only silver lining is that this clearly marks the beginning of the end of 150 years or so of American hegemony.
Well, can you give us some kind of source showing that any innocent bystanders were killed in that strike?
What a sniveling response, every one of those killings were illegal murders by the USA, no trial, no jury just the executioner. Innocent until proven guilty is the law of the land in the USA, you sound like you believe brown middle eastern folk are not entitled to the same privilege.
Speaking of murdering innocent bystanders, the USA has form in indiscriminately bombing weddings to kill one target. The USA also backs its ally Israel to the hilt in their genocidal slaughter of Palestinians. The latest war led to innocent people being slaughtered at the highest rate compared to combatants of any war in history.
Lol all your responses just to come to the conclusion that you don’t really care either way
Hahaha oh boy. Well I guess that if you’d know how stupid that remark actually is, you wouldn’t have made it. So I forgive you ;-)
How you came to that conclusion I have no idea. I am ashamed of myself for engaging with someone so lacking in basic comprehension and literacy.
No need to play coy dude, my remark was based off of your comments and I stand by my statement.
Yeah if you’re going to accuse me of racism like that, rightly so
