Trying to keep them from turning into whimpering fools when they take care of business
At least not in public view.
Blynkin needs to be asking Iran to take in Gaza refugees.
Maybe they see this as an attempt by other powers to get them involved in another attrition war like Ukraine, so they are going to have to make some real strategic victories in the near term.
Iran is paying the big guy for this to get their funds relaxed and stop their operatives who crossed the border illegally. The palistinians have been pawns for 70 years
This is not only because Israel and the US are such close allies... This is because Israel and the US have the tacit blessing of the major players in the region. They all want to see the Hamas and Hamas-ideological types diminished. Egypt, Palestinian Authority, Jordan, Lebanon, and most of the Arab bloc as well. They don’t necessarily like it, but they see it as necessary and no alternatives - Hamas and their brethren are not interested in peace not with Israel or with moderate Islam rulers. The more moderate middle east leaders want normalization and prosperity and peace.
In messages circulated on Friday, State Department staff wrote that high-level officials do not want press materials to include three specific phrases: “de-escalation/ceasefire,” “end to violence/bloodshed” and “restoring calm.”
There’s an old military rule that to maintain discipline never give orders that won’t be obeyed. For example Gen Washington ordered that Continental Soldiers couldn’t curse or swear. He should have known better.
The Capt of a destroyer I was on ordered that crewmen couldn’t buy or own motorcycles. Another ridiculous failure.
Orders to Israel to back off will be as effective as the above two. It’s surprising to see the Biden Administration show such wisdom.
I’m imagining a scenario where the US starts off with a phone call:
“We’d like you guys to show some restraint.”
“Look, if we show restraint, we show weakness. If we show weakness, this things drags out and it gets nasty. Lebanon jumps in. Syria jumps in. This is bad. If it gets bad, there is a REALLY good chance that we will nuke Damascus and Tehran. Just letting you know. So, let us go in quick, do whatever Israel feels in necessary, and we get this over with fast and nobody getting nuked. How does that sound?”
“We will tell our people not to talk about restraint.”
“As Israel escalates its attacks on Gaza”
Stopped reading right there.
If true then credit where credit is due.
LeftSpeak definition: Escalate (v) Any military action or preparation taken by These United States, or their allies.
Syn: Provoke, provocation.
The deep state first and foremost supports unending violence because it’s how they launder their dirty money.
Israel is taking Hamas out. Period. It’s a war. No time to leisurely relocate, build new housing and facilities. Just get the hell out of the way. Palestinians voted for these demons.
Deal with it, Akbar.
Say bye to Hamas.
Pathetic that it apparently took pics of decapitated babies to finally get this reaction. As if it’s the first time anything this bad has ever happened. Hello??!! This has always been going on! It’s just never been documented like this before. Gazans need to be eliminated. Then go after their Hezbollah brethren in Lebanon. Then it’s going to get difficult as their allied groups in Syria and Jordan are going to have to be hit. No more negotiations.
The democrat party wants to murder people any way they can. War is as good of a way to murder people as letting criminals run loose in cities.
of course the deep state wants another forever war
