The U.S. government wants the U.S. and its agent, Israel, (Or is it the other way around?) to have complete control of the Middle East. Good luck with that. From Jonathan Cook at unz.com:
As the conflict expands across the Middle East, western leaders refuse to implement any red lines for Tel Aviv
Nearly a decade ago, a leading Israeli human rights activist divulged to me a private conversation he’d had a short time earlier with one of Europe’s ambassadors to Israel. He was shaken by the exchange.
The ambassador’s country was then widely seen as one of the most sympathetic in the West to the Palestinian people. The Israeli activist had expressed concerns about Europe’s inaction in the face of relentless Israeli attacks on Palestinian rights and systematic violations of international law.
At the time, Israel was enforcing a lengthy siege on Gaza that had deprived more than two million people there of the essentials of life, and it had repeatedly bombed urban areas, killing hundreds of civilians.
In the occupied West Bank and East Jerusalem, Israel had intensified its expansion of illegal Jewish settlements, leading to a surge in violence from settler militias and the Israeli army. Palestinians were being killed and driven off their land.
The activist asked the ambassador a simple question: What would Israel need to do for his government to act against it? Where was the red line?
The ambassador paused as he thought hard. And then, with a shrug of the shoulders, he responded: there was nothing Israel could do. There was no red line.
Oh my what a big shell to kill women and children with.
Go get ’em hero and don’t start thinking Merkavas are invincible.
Middle East conquering tour after burning down the society with divide/conquer and $35 trillion in debt?
I’m glad that popcorn is plentiful in das pantry.
We’re going to take out seven countries in five years, starting with Iraq, and then Syria, Lebanon, Libya, Somalia, Sudan and, finishing off, Iran.

You keep using that word democracy, comrade, but do you know what it means?
Consensus über alles.
By a free country, I mean a country where people are allowed, so long as they do not hurt their neighbours, to do as they like. I do not mean a country where six men may make five men do exactly as they like.

The chosen be like all smart recording war crimes and uploading to social media.
The ICC screen captures names, acts such as, sniping civilians walking too slow in a war zone, smashing and looting home furnishings and safes while holding the ill gotten gains for the camera, using civilians for military goals to entice others to come out only to get sniped for their efforts, bombing hospitals with people in poor health and unable to evacuate, a Kevlar vest saved a media member with large logo saying press on his back, his friend wasn’t so lucky.
Weird behavior of raiding the panty drawer of those “shit Arab bitches” and even putting some on or making a wall display. (H/T-Al Jazeera)
A Muslim girl sat behind me in HS German class with name spelled Heine but not pronounced that way and she was one of the most beautiful I have ever seen even with headscarf.
Hopefully she is alive and well.
