Tag: Iran-Israel War

Here’s a bit of truly significant news that seems to have gone unnoticed outside of defense-focused journals and outlets: The U.S. has deployed a third nuclear-powered aircraft carrier and strike group to the Middle East. It should reach its destination in 10 to 12 days.

So much for a short non-war war.

On Saturday, March 7th, the U.S. Navy Nimitz Class nuclear-powered supercarrier USS George H. W. Bush and its strike group ‘set sail’ across the Atlantic in order to add support to the USS Abraham Lincoln and the USS Gerald Ford, and to their extensive strike groups and airwings. The three, combined, add at least 20,000 personnel to the region.

Aboard the USS Bush is Carrier Air Wing Eight (CVW-8), which typically includes 44 F/A-18E/F Super Hornet strike fighters, five EA-18G Growler electronic warfare jets, five E-2D Hawkeye airborne early-warning planes, and several C-2A Greyhound logistics planes and MH-60 Seahawk helicopters. 

Its strike group includes three to four Tomahawk-armed Arleigh Burke class destroyers, a Ticonderoga class cruiser, a supply ship, and a nuclear attack submarine.

Defense officials explain this deployment, following an in-depth assessment of the situation, as an adjustment to the required force posture, reinforcing U.S. leverage in order to “compel Tehran to return to negotiations and address U.S. security demands.”

LOL and WTF?!

Washington suddenly abandoned negotiations in order to join Israel in bombing Iran, and all that savagery, requiring more soldiers and war machines in the region, was unleashed in order to force negotiations???

These people are either complete idiots or think that we all are.

The Iranians had agreed to all of the U.S. nuclear-based demands; expecting them to fully disarm is just stupid.

As I’ve said: the U.S. and Israel just want to destroy the country, if they can't fully control it.

Military experts speculate that this deployment offers a quick fix to the armaments shortage in the region, and that this ship’s focus may be Yemen, in order to ‘take care of the Houthis’ should they also start attacking Israel and/or Saudi Arabia.

The DOW (formerly, the DoD; read in that what you will), states that this carrier strike group’s presence will ensure maritime security in the Strait of Hormuz, allowing for the safe passage of commercial ships.
I hope insurance companies are convinced. But I doubt it.

This tells me that Washington realized that they’re in for a much tougher and longer fight than anticipated, and that Tel-Aviv and other Gulf States, like Saudi Arabia, are begging Washington to send reinforcements.

Trump is caught in an escalation trap.

The Navy’s largest and newest supercarrier, the USS Gerald Ford, built in 2017, transited the Suez Canal and arrived in the Mediterranean Sea on 28-Feb, the same day that the U.S.-Israel attacks on Iran were launched.
The Ford has now been at sea for more than eight months, having left a Mediterranean deployment to shift to the Caribbean Sea and back again to the Mediterranean. Wonder how much that cost tax payers?

I’ve never believed that a regime change was the goal, and I still don’t; it’s a total state collapse. These are very different things.

I do believe that Trump was being honest when he said that he’s against long, extended wars. Still high on the “success” of the Venezuela op, he was hoping to achieve the same in Iran. Just a quick in-and-out, a few days of bombing… maybe one week, tops.

Clearly, he and his cronies underestimated Iran’s resolve and state of readiness; they may have killed the Ayatollah and other top leaders, but in no way did this render the government inoperable or create the desired void. Thus, more bombs are needed, maybe for three to four weeks… maybe more. Don't be a stupid media outlet and ask "How long?"

Washington and Tel Aviv couldn’t care less who’s now in charge of Iran, as long as the country is in chaos and its oil production and proxy networks are severely disrupted, they’re happy.

CIA and Pentagon analysts, Mossad's too, are dangerous ideologues, but they’re not idiots; they’re well aware that installing a pro-U.S. and pro-Israel government is a real long shot, especially now. They’re hoping that the many factions they’ve been arming and funding—which is why the recent protests had turned so destructive and bloody—will weaken national unity and totally fracture the country, rendering Iran’s institutions, military, and oil industry inoperable.

These anti-Shia/separatist terrorist/militant factions include Balochis, Kurds, Turkmen, as well as other Sunni groups, and, obviously, ISIS and al-Qaeda forces are in the mix.
Terrorists and right-wing extremist groups almost always link back to Washington, and evil dictators are only so when they won’t bend to U.S./Western demands.
Iran has always been an important force against ISIS and al-Qaeda… meanwhile, the U.S. has continually supported these organizations in some way. The bigger ‘backer’ of terrorists?
Doubt what I say? Look who the U.S. and Israel put in charge of Syria.

The Ayatollah wasn’t as oppressive and evil as Western media made him out to be; just a bit of research will establish that the clerical regime had, in fact, greatly loosened its grip on society, and that Iranians, including women, enjoyed more freedom than the vast majority of brown or black persons currently living in the U.S. Mainstream Western media put out a tremendous amount of propaganda and fed much hate and ignorance. Idiots like Sam Harris gulped it all up.

The U.S., with its constant meddling ops and brutal sanctions, is the true cause of Iran’s  troubles and economic woes.

I won’t go into the details, but I will say: the “massacre” that the state is accused of having carried out during the protests is Western propaganda that fails to offer a fair assessment of events.

Since events in Venezuela, it should have been clear that:

• This war was entirely expected, a key part of a larger plan.
• This wasn’t a last-minute decision, nor did the U.S. ‘join in’ because Netanyahu is really in charge and calling the shots.
• The order was important: before attacking Iran, the U.S. needed to be in control of Venezuela’s oil. (However, the Trump administration never thinks far ahead; controlling Venezuela’s oil isn’t enough to counter what’s to come, they needed to seriously develop its crude production first.)
• Iran is key to BRICS and it’s an important part of China’s Belt & Road initiative, and its oil, like Venezuela’s, provided options that diminished U.S.’ control over the globe.
• This is about Israel regional hegemony and U.S. global hegemony.
• What's happening in Iran is completely in line with what’s laid out in the National Security Strategy.

Therefore, the attack was formalized when Netanyahu last visited the White House in December, a few days before the attack on Venezuela. The huge arms buildup in the region establishes that the U.S. didn’t just happen to be sucked into “Israel’s war” because Tel Aviv decided it was gonna go ahead no matter what. One day before the attack, the Trump regime stated that the “politics are a lot better if Israel strikes Iran first” (see headlines and highlights in picture, above, or do a search with that phrase). The U.S. was giving Netanyahu the green light. Saying that Israel forced Washington's hand is just a weak justification.

Of course, this has nothing to do with Iran’s nuclear program or the country being an imminent threat to the U.S.

The way that the Trump admin avoids mentioning oil, which is of major geopolitical importance, should set off a few alarm bells.

The negotiations were pure BS. The demands kept shifting and were too outrageous to possibly lead to an agreement; Washington wanted a “no” in order to paint Iran as an unreasonable and steadfast threat.

Trump had pulled out of the JCPOA as elements in both the U.S. and in Israel were angling for a war with Iran, which the JCPOA made harder to justify. Biden never did complete the easy task of reinstating the agreement, due to donor and deep state, pro-Israel pressure. Although Obama did more than most Presidents to beef up Israel’s military, he hated Netanyahu and his brand of Zionism, hence why he introduced the JCPOA; to piss him off.

U.S. hawks and the deep state have been wanting this war for decades, delusional Trump desperately wants to be the one to finally pull it off.
