    It’s incredible how every Islamic faction that’s involved has been way more cautious and careful for this entire conflict than Israel. I really admire their restraint! Israel is trying to escalate things left and right, but every other faction is trying to keep things from blowing up.

    If Biden doesn’t jump on this then he wants Trump to win.

      Standing by and watching a genocide take place isn’t all that admirable in my opinion.

      It looks like the Biden regime has already jumped on it. Apparently all it ever took was a phone call. The mass murderers have called off the genocide and are pulling out of Khan Younis.

        Yeah but getting involved means being bombed to hell by NATO, so governments are not keen on that. Even indirect involvement like the Yemeni blockade effected in this. In case of Iran it might even spark a world war.

    Watch as the US still doesn’t press Israel into a ceasefire. It’s becoming increasingly apparent that conflict in the Middle East isn’t an unfortunate circumstance but a goal of American foreign policy.

      America? Wanting instability in an oil-rich region? That’s pretty much as optimally equidistant from the most major first-world economies as is possible?

      No. Way.
