Wall Street Journal: U.S. Deploys Missile Defenses to Middle East Following Recent Attacks
WASHINGTON—The U.S. has deployed an antiballistic missile defense system and several Patriot missile battalions to the Middle East, the Pentagon said, days after U.S. bases and a U.S. warship came under drone attack.
The attacks on a base in Syria and at least three in Iraq, plus the interception of missiles and drones by a U.S. missile-guided destroyer in the Red Sea over the past week raised fears that the fighting between Israel and Gaza-based Hamas militants could expand into a regional conflict.

WNU Editor: I agree with those who are saying that Israel has delayed its Gaza offensive because of US pressure that it needs to first deploy missile defense systems at its bases in the Middle East.

Hard to know if Israel has delayed anything. Invasions take weeks of preparation when the other side has spent years digging in.
ReplyDeletethis is why the invasion was delayed. Not because if humanitarian reasons, but because they are not ready. Is the Eisenhower on station yet?
ReplyDeleteWait for all the pieces to fall in place.
This is so USA.
It is exactly what you saw before gulf war 1 and 2.
If you have not figured it out yet...you are going to war.
You do not need several weeks to plan an invasion.
ReplyDeleteAs soon as you take fire, you return fire. You find a tunnel entrance, you mask it. You use infrared and other sensor to detect positions first and put them under fire before they fire.
It is something Patton would have done.
People who do not want this are Hamas, Iran, Russia, nervous political hacks, Cowards like Joe Biden who once almost took a chain to black youth, and anti-Semites.
It is going to be de rigueur that once the Israelis go in that Iran, Democrats and other Hamas supporters will immediately declare war crimes.
It is going slow because befuddled Joe is slow walking support to Israel like he did t Ukraine.
Joe's Puppeteer, Obama is also a coward. he never got into a fight. but he was mean to an unpopular girl. But he was a careful. he was mean to here only after she was dogpiled by others with insults.
ReplyDeleteNo love for Joe here, but Planning is not the issue. having all the equipment you need is the issue.
What you are talking about is tactical level ,possible operational level methods. There is a strategic factor involved.
this situation is bigger than just Israel. It is bigger than Gaza. The USA is prepositioning Theater level assets and these assets are made for a much larger scale than Gaza.
Remember this also. They are sending THAADs. Who is going to man those machines?. That is right. US Troops in harm's way. Just like the on the carrier groups.
So if Iran or Hezbollah was to get involved, there is your trip wire. Because those ground anti missile systems would be targeted. And US troops would die and become a cause for war.
All neatly packaged and ready to go. Got to admit, if you wanted to provoke a war, it is a smooth way of doing it.
Before you dump your trump bullshit on biden, recall he went into war zone and is fully supported Israel while trump sweating his ass in court
ReplyDelete" Into a war zone"!?!?!? Lololololololol you get funnier and funnier!
DeleteIKR it was like a punch and judy show down in the subway of kiev. Prima donnas doing their thing
DeleteEngoron is a kangaroo court judge.
ReplyDeleteEngoron's employees are pictured mugging it up with Senator Schumer (D). This is important to point out.
If the court employees that Engoron uses are not impartial, he is not likely to be impartial either.
Um, the USA didnt ALREADY have missile defense systems at their bases
ReplyDeleteSMH
The drumbeat of war is on the beat
