    Funny how the US diverted 20k drones from Ukraine to the Middle East recently, wonder where they will end up…

      And funny how the US embassy there was emptied a few days ago, citing “tensions in the region.” Almost looks like they knew, doesn’t it?

        They did know… it has been explicitly stated that they did. They’re just saying that they don’t take part in it.

          Which is also bullshit. At the very least they provided refuelling and intelligence.

            They definitely did provide support, what they are saying is that they had no say in Israel decision making process. I can believe that, Netanyahu is a fucking psychopath.

      Presumably it is to discourage Iran from attacking US assets in the region, knowing that the US have weapons that they can use to counter-attack. Any counter-attack needs to be against Israel alone, not the US. That’s what the US wants.
