The crisis caused by Washington and Israel metastasizes
This is an unfortunate message for Christmas Eve. The Biden regime’s support for Israel’s brutal genocide of the Palestinian people seems destined, as Mike Whitney points out. https://www.unz.com/mwhitney/the-houthis-have-biden-by-the-shorthairs/ , leading to the broader conflict I feared all along. The outcome of the conflict will depend on whether the Houthis strike first or, under pressure from Iran, stay put and give Washington the opportunity to drive them from their strategic position. It is ironic that by holding back the Muslims, thereby denying them the initiative, Putin protected Israel from defeat.
Either way, the risk of disruption to shipping and oil flows threatens Wall Street’s assumption that inflation is behind us. The U.S. economy risks taking a major hit due to the Biden regime’s support for Israel’s criminal actions against Palestine, both in Gaza and the West Bank. We must marvel at Israel’s power over the United States government. Clearly, the Biden regime and its neoconservative operatives are willing to sacrifice America for Greater Israel.
We must be aware that a broader conflict will affect the interests of Russia and China, with unknown consequences for the United States and Israel.
