      You don’t get to vote for/against war in the US… it will happen whether you vote right or left. I think it has something to do with the deep state… AKA the ones that are in power and not elected.

    Forgive my ignorance, but it feels like in such a short time the US is yet again involved various conflicts in the middle east. It’s so fast I feel like I can barely keep up. What the hell has made this expand beyond the conflict between Israel/Gaza?

      Unwavering support for the genocide Israel is conducting by US mostly. US declared its full support for Israel after October 7th, then repeatedly vetoed ceasefire resolutions at the UN while pumping Israel full of weapons. People in the Middle East were increasingly outraged by the atrocities Israel was committing, and started retaliating against Israel and US. Yemen started blocking shipping through their waters, and many occupation resistance groups in Iraq, Lebanon, and Syria started attacking US and Israeli assets. After US soldiers were finally killed a few days ago, US decided to crank things up a notch.

        Wow, thank you for your reply. That all makes a lot of sense. I know Israel isn’t the most well liked nation in the middle east, so US support would definitely piss people off over there. All this conflict between the u.s and the middle east…feels like it will never end.
