RED ALERT: Pentagon Deploys Additional Jet Squadron, Warships, and USS Carrier Strike Group To Israel in Dramatic Escalation of U.S. Military Presence in Middle East

The move to take the conflict outside Israel’s borders by the Netanyahu-led Israeli government is proving to be quite a slippery slope that has us seemingly barreling towards getting fully involved in yet another endless war in the Middle East.

On Friday, the Pentagon announced its plans to send additional fighter jets and Navy warships to the region. This strategic move aims to bolster existing US forces and strengthen support for Israel. It comes in response to increased tensions and threats from Iran and its allies, including Hamas and Hezbollah, as IDF forces carry out targeted strikes in Lebanon and, more recently, Iran.

The catalyst for the recent wave of activity was the recent assassination of Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh in Tehran, which prompted the supreme leader of Iran to order retaliatory strikes directly on Israel. His advisor to the Foreign Ministry, Seyed Mohammad Marandi, reiterated the point in no uncertain terms, telling the Israelis to “leave” before the barrage comes in an ominous post on X.

Deputy Pentagon Press Secretary Sabrina Singh explained that the added military assets are meant to bolster the protection of U.S. forces in the region and address the security threats posed by Iran and its affiliated groups.

“We’ve shown since October and again in April that the United States’s global defense is adaptable, and the department can deploy on short notice to address evolving national security threats,” Singh stated. “Thus, the secretary will direct several forthcoming force-posture adjustments to enhance force protection for U.S. forces across the region, increase support for Israel’s defense, and ensure the U.S. is ready to respond to this evolving crisis.”

Ack, can’t remember. Does anyone know what Biden said in the past couple days about a war? It came across like another oopsie slip up letting the cat out of the bag, again. His putting a bullseye on Trump and now this recent slip up.

Sure seems like a more or less routine replacement of the Roosevelt CG with the Lincoln CG.

With Biden/Harris/Whoever is in charge of our country, I think for this when situations like this arise:

Admiral Josh Painter:

This business will get out of control. It will get out of control and we’ll be lucky to live through it.

The Hunt for Red October

RE: He wants to be a war president.

True.

He borrowed some Classics Illustrated comic books from Kamala’s personal library that said that like in WWII a wartime President gains support from all parties.

RE: nukes

From several sources about 1973 war:

In the 1973 Yom Kippur War, Arab forces were overwhelming Israeli forces and Prime Minister Golda Meir authorized a nuclear alert and ordered 13 atomic bombs be readied for use by missiles and aircraft.

Times of Israel 2013 article on anniversary:

‘Dayan Pushed PM Meir To Consider Using Nuclear Weapons In 1973 War’

“Former government aide says the defense minister, badly shaken on day two of the Yom Kippur War, suggested the ultimate option… and Meir told him to ‘forget it’”

This is a sign that we do not have a real President and are governed by a committee, or, in Spanish, a junta.

Austin ordered the forces to the ME, not the nominal President.

You have two factions in the US government: State and DOD. State is pro-Iran and anti-Israel. In fact, I believe many of them are getting payoffs for the cash transfers and sanctions easing under the "Biden" regime. Some, I think, are outright Iranian agents. As Sec Def, Austin basically has control of the US military. His faction is pro-Israel and anti-Iran.

With no real President, the agency heads pursue their own policies.

With targets on Israel. Chomo Joe will defend Iran’s interests. His family makes too much money from Tehran.

On the plus side, every time we start or join a foreign war, we are soon enriched with refugees from that region, bringing their exotic cuisines and cultural vibrancy.

So where are all the hot young single Ukranian women?

If Iran attacks using their Fattah-1 ICBM's on Monday -- and I believe they will -- it will be game on, because 2 or 4 of those will get through and leave some holes in Tel Aviv.

A coordinated attack with Hezbollah, with those mooseslimes pounding northern population centers, and Iran targeting the two cities, using the Fattah on command-and-control and sending waves of their UAVs.

At that point, Monday night, Bebe strikes Tehran.

[compared to what it would cost to shut down our own border?]

Can't serve the New World Order with destruction of National Sovereignty without having wide-open borders.

That way ALL PEOPLE can become "Global Citizens"

Come now, One-World Global Citizen, surely you want to UNite in the face of such a crisis. Oh, you'd like to be able to BUY and SELL? The World Economic Forum has a solution for that. Now, get in the van. It's for your own good.

Like a thief in the night

The world will want to UNite in the face of such a crisis.



You DO want to be a good Global Citizen, right, citizen? Go Global. It's the worldly thing all good Global Citizens do.



1 John 2:15-17 - New King James Version

Do Not Love the World

15 Do not love the world or the things in the world. If anyone loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him.

16 For all that is in the world—the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life—is not of the Father but is of the world.

17 And the world is passing away, and the lust of it; but he who does the will of God abides forever.

=========================================

1 John 4:1-3 New King James Version

Love for God and One Another


1 Beloved, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits, whether they are of God; because many false prophets have gone out into the world.

2 By this you know the Spirit of God: Every spirit that confesses that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is of God,

3 and every spirit that does not confess that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is not of God. And this is the spirit of the Antichrist, which you have heard was coming, and is now

===================================================

1 John 4:4-6 Revised Standard Version

4 Little children, you are of God, and have overcome them; for he who is in you is greater than he who is in the world.

5 They are of the world, therefore what they say is of the world, and the world listens to them.

6 We are of God. Whoever knows God listens to us, and he who is not of God does not listen to us. By this we know the spirit of truth and the spirit of error.
