Israel has been wanting to clear the region of Arabs for a very long time, because they aspire to Greater Israel, which would encompass all of Lebanon, all of Jordan, all of Syria, the Gulf states, and substantial fractions of Iraq, Egypt, and Saudi Arabia. The blue lines on the flag represent the Nile and the Euphrates, and Israeli soldiers wear a patch of Greater Israel on their uniforms.
They’ve finally found an American president whom they could misinform, bribe, blackmail, and control who would help them make it happen. Marco Rubio admited that the US started the war because otherwise Israel would have, then Iran would have retaliated, and the US would have taken damage or casualties. In other words, the US went to war at Israel’s behest.
The Gulf monarchies are all extremely vulnerable. Provoking Iran was one way to threaten their existence, because they allow the US to use bases on their soil, and their airspace, to carry out attacks, which obviously invites retaliation. Key Iranian leaders were assassinated, which was a major blunder since the Khamenei chose to be martyred, and is now a powerful unifying symbol for a country where martyrdom is a high honour. Objects of critical infrastructure were hit, like Iran’s desalination plant. If Iran, which is only about 3% dependent on desalination, were to retaliate in kind, the Gulf states, some of which are 100% dependent on desalination, would become uninhabitable immediately. That would be the fastest way to clear out the region, but Iran is unlikely to do this. As annoyed as it is that the Gulf vassal states are helping the US and Israel in the war, Iran has no desire to inflict a humanitarian catastrophy that would further Israel’s territorial goals.
Israel, on the other hand, has no qualms about inflicting mass civilian casualties. They’ve already done so on a mass scale in Gaza, the West Bank and in Lebanon. They see Arabs as subhuman – as Amalek – and see no innocent parties. Israeli citizens have said on camera that the children grow up to be Arabs, so they should be eliminated before they do. The nature of war has been taken back 500 years, to utter barbarism. Whole populations are being subjected to collective punishment and genocide. The US has become a rogue hegemon, as it throws away its reputation and its superpower status. Israel has bought virtually all of Congress, and now wields its influence to send other young people to their deaths in a war of aggression. It isn’t only the Arabs whom the Israelis look down upon. They also have contempt for the ‘goyim’ who fight their wars for them. Epstein made this clear in his emails.
The resignation of Joe Kent could be a turning point, and does seem to be inspiring a growing minority of soliders to refuse illegal orders. He was MAGA through and through, but left because he could not support an obvious war of aggression. Unfortunately his boss, Tulsi Gabard, lacks his integrity, and has revealed herself to be a fraud and a sellout. Many people in the regime have their eyes on political elevation in 2028, and will do or say anything to remain close to the centre of power. Very few have a shred of integrity, and most are incompetent and corrupt. Of course incompetence and corruption are nothing new in American politics, but this group takes it to the next level. None of them are likely to get the ultimate power that they seek.
The war has escalated to mutual destruction of energy infrastructure, with Iran’s South Pars gas field being attacked and Qatar’s American jet fuel storage site attacked in return. This could spread, and would amount to yet another way for Israel to destroy the Gulf the states, using Iran as the instrument.
