The White House Is Preparing For An Expansion Of The Gaza War

 

Politico: The war in Gaza may widen. The Biden admin is getting ready for it. 

That could put President Joe Biden in the center of a messy Middle East conflict in the midst of a bruising re-election campaign. 

Biden administration officials are drawing up plans for the U.S. to respond to what they’re increasingly concerned could expand from a war in Gaza to a wider, protracted regional conflict. 

Four officials familiar with the matter, including a senior administration official, described internal conversations about scenarios that could potentially draw the U.S. into another Middle East war. All were granted anonymity to speak about sensitive, ongoing national security discussions.

WNU Editor: Bottom line. The groundwork is being laid for even more US military aid being shipped to Israel and to support their war against Hezbollah.  The US is also clearly in planning stage to launch military operations targeting the Houthis in Yemen. 

Update #1: This is where the tensions are raising .... Tensions in the Middle East are rising beyond Israel. Here's where. (Washington Post).  

Update #2: I am not optimistic .... A widened Middle East war would be a disaster, but it can still be avoided (Stephen Collinson, Analysis by Stephen Collinson, CNN)

Comrade Nasrallah, the Houthis, the IRGC and the heroes of resistance throughout the world have not yet begun to fight.

The US is a paper tiger and can only flail about, bluff, and bluster.

All the US is good for is murdering kids and starving civilians. The obese, mindless drones who wander around the Midwest only care about supersizing.

Do you supersize?

Many of the most prominent people in western civilization were involved with Epstein. Many US law enforcement agencies are complicit by turning a blind eye. The US has destroyed countries and killed millions of innocent people. The West is going to get the fruit that it’s been reaching for for many decades now. The fruit however is poison.

I hate idiots like 5:53. They sound like an old Soviet news reel narration.

Those glorious IRCGs did real well also when trying to cross Iraqi swamps and getting electrocuted by Saddam.

You are a blithering ninny who adds nothing to the conversation except empty words.

I get better information from a conversation with the wind.
