🇺🇸🇮🇱 The US is not Fighting Iran “For Israel”

Western empire going back to Roman times sought control of the Middle East in pursuit of greater primacy.

The British Empire sought control over the region in pursuit of GLOBAL primacy – and the US has simply picked up where the British left off.

The US seeks primacy over the ENTIRE planet – the Middle East is part of the planet – thus the US seeks primacy over the Middle East as well as the Western Hemisphere, Europe, Africa, and Asia.

Israel was a joint US-British creation as a means of facilitating this regional control just as both nations have created proxies around the globe throughout history up to and including now with nations like Ukraine, the island province of Taiwan, etc.

The US seeks control over the Middle East to control its oil – specifically to deny it to China. This is a stated objective spanning years of policy papers. It also seeks to topple Iran as a member of the multipolar world as a means of whittling it down.

If/When the US topples Iran it will then pivot to further encircling Russia and China.

ALL of these conflicts are connected – including through the US strategy of using regional proxies to advance its interests.

In Europe it is Ukraine, in the Middle East is it Israel, Jordan, and the Persian Gulf states, in Asia-Pacific it is the island province of Taiwan, Japan, and the Philippines.

For those citing munition shortages and other symptoms of US imperial overreach during this current conflict as “proof” it is suffering instead at the expense of “Israel” – munition shortages and energy crises began with the US proxy war in Ukraine years earlier.

Some other facts:

AIPAC spending is dwarfed by US arms manufacturing lobbying alone saying nothing of big-oil, big-pharma, big-tech etc.;

Israel is entirely dependent on US arms, munitions, joint military industrial production, air and missile defenses, ISR, and both political and financial support – support that Israel would blow away in the wind without;

Last year the US literally used Israel to trigger its war on Iran to absorb the blame and retaliation in full from the resulting conflict – as per US policy papers proposing doing so as early as 2009;

This year Israel again absorbs the brunt of the retaliation – and thanks to useful idiots – sole blame for the conflict instead of Wall Street and Washington;

IMPORTANT: Pointing this out does not somehow “defend Israel” or negate Israel’s crimes any more than Ukraine being a US proxy negates its many and multiplying crimes.

The US and its proxies are all guilty.

It is important to hold EVERYONE involved in injustice accountable.

It is most important to deal with a global threat at its root and that root lies in Wall Street and Washington – not an artificially created country completely dependent on both.
