President Joe Biden has ordered retaliatory strikes against Iranian-backed militia groups after three U.S. servicemembers were injured in a drone attack in northern Iraq
Yes western imperialism has been at an impasse with religious fanatics who prefer living in the dirt for much longer than you’ve been alive.
You have on one side blind western greed and pragmatism and on the other blind mideastern greed and idealism. It’s intractable. Can’t say I have any sympathy at all for people whose idea of good government is having some muckety muck from church come to your house and shoot your mother in the head because she taught you to read when you were a little girl (looking at you, Afghanistan).
Not like the Zionists are any better. They don’t care if you teach your daughter to read as long as they can pick the book, otherwise they will bomb your dirt hut and the whole village into still dirt but just more spread out again.
Iran seems determined to stir up as much shit as possible. This is a huge strategic benefit to their allies in Moscow.
From 10/7 to Red Sea shipping disruptions. all of this is part of russias geopolitical strategy. Right wing Russia friendly governments will come to power because of this. NATO will be weakened. In some ways all of this is in the hopes that you might chose not to vote for Joe Biden next fall.
As long as Biden is an israeli doggo then of course it will escalate. It’s like asking why supporting Nazi Germany is a powder keg. De-escalation is not possible while giving those guys billions in weapons to continue their genocide with.
Am I just a pessimist, or is it starting to appear as if escalation of conflict in the Middle East is inevitable?
I can’t think of a time in my life where the Middle East didn’t have some kinda shit going on.

intostill dirt but just more spread out again.It does appear so. Watch oil prices.
This is perfectly proportionate retaliatory strike.
We gotta have a war. Either China or Middle East, doesn’t matter. /s

What an insanely backwards analysis you have. Israel did nothing wrong guys this man said so.
Where in that post did I justify Israel’s behavior?? You are chasing ghosts my dude.
These attacks on American bases are a direct response for America committing genocide in Palestine.
I guess history for Americans starts at any point they receive a retaliatory strike for their aggression.
How many times in the past 8 years have you thought were just about to enter wwiii?
It already nearly did and has already been de-escalated, but it will probably re-escalate because Israel is fascist and genocidal.
Israel was in-progress executing a preemptive strike Hezbollah, this was prevented. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zj0HLZDwD6A
