As always, the military-industrial-intelligence complex will benefit from increased U.S. involvement in the Middle East on Israel’s behalf. However, that involvement comes with a price. It solidifies the realignment of much of the rest of the world with the Chinese and Russian-led alliance. From Pepe Escobar at strategic-culture.su:
As it stands we have 3 wins for the Hegemon and 1 win for its aircraft carrier nation in West Asia.
By now it’s fully established who is profiting from the ghastly Palestine tragedy.
As it stands we have 3 wins for the Hegemon and 1 win for its aircraft carrier nation in West Asia.
First winner is the War Party Inc., a massive bilateral scam. The White House’s $106 billion supplemental request to Congress for “assistance” especially to Ukraine and Israel is manna from Heaven to the weaponizing tentacles of the MICIMATT (military-industrial-congressional-intelligence-media-academia-think tank complex, in the legendary definition by Ray McGovern).
The laundromat will be on a roll, including $61.4 billion for Ukraine (more weapons and replenishing of U.S. stocks) and $14.3 for Israel (mostly air and missile defense “support”).
Second winner is The Democratic Party engineering the unavoidable change of narrative from the spectacularly failing Project Ukraine; yet that will only postpone the upcoming humiliation of NATO in 2024, which will reduce the Afghan humiliation to the status of sandbox child playing.
Third winner is setting West Asia on fire: the Straussian neocon psycho “strategy” conceived as a response to the upcoming BRICS 11, and everything in terms of Eurasia integration that was advanced at the Belt and Road Forum in Beijing last week (including nearly $100 billion in new infrastructure/development projects).
