/ world today news/ Israel’s operation against the Gaza Strip not only distracted the West from helping Ukraine. The proxy war against Russia has undermined the United States’ ability to crush its adversaries in the Middle East. And this is already becoming a prologue to the direct collapse of their hegemony.
But it is important for the United States now to crush Palestine. To then carry out a bloody massacre in the Arab countries. By the hands of the Arabs themselves. Details in the “Tsarigrad” material.
The US military recently lost an MH-60 helicopter in the Mediterranean Sea. The disaster occurred off the coast of Cyprus; Five people became victims of the disaster. The loss of life and vehicles was confirmed by the Pentagon’s Stars and Stripes publication.
Some domestic observers began to look for a hidden meaning in the American flights. They remembered that Cyprus was not really far from Israel and began to wonder:
“What training could US helicopter pilots be doing there and what does it all mean?”
The Americans were supposed to be training troops for a future landing in Gaza or even taking Jewish hostages from the Palestinians, but someone wouldn’t let them go back.
The United States has more than 1,000 bases outside its territory, and therefore it is extremely important for them to maintain a level of operational readiness.
Therefore, they conduct continuous training to deliver something necessary and important somewhere where it is needed. Routine. Accordingly, disasters involving their helicopters are partly the same routine.
2023 In August, an American V22 Osprey rotorcraft crashed off the northern coast of Australia. There were 20 Marines on board.
The incident occurred during an exercise involving 500 US troops, as well as troops from Australia, the Philippines, Indonesia and East Timor. The fall of one bird killed 4% of the American contingent.
2022 In February, a civilian S61-N helicopter leased by the Pentagon for the Navy crashed in Hawaii. The car crashed on a military training ground on the island of Kauai; four people died.
2018 In California, the largest helicopter in service in the US military, the CH-53E Super Stallion, crashed during a training flight. All four crew members were killed.
In other words, being surprised by such catastrophes is the same as being confused by the snow that fell in Russia in winter. But what is not quite usual is the systematic shelling of US military bases in the Middle East, which has been going on for almost a month now:
On October 19, the Ain al-Asad military base in western Iraq was fired upon by a Grad missile launcher;
As of November 5, three US bases in Syria and Iraq have already been hit by drones;
November 13, new attacks on US bases in Syria.
And these are just the incidents that attracted media attention. In reality, such impacts are tens of times more. Pentagon Press Secretary Patrick Ryder admitted this.
According to him, in just two weeks, since October 17, 27 attacks have been carried out against American military facilities: 16 of them were in Iraq, 11 in Syria.
In early November, the Americans responded to these attacks with strikes of their own on bases used by pro-Iranian forces.
Why is the US not responding?
He has arrived at American bases before. For example, the Iranians fired missiles at them after the assassination of Qassem Soleimani in January 2020.
But this incident was perceived and presented by the Iranians as an extraordinary response to the extraordinary brutality of the United States. And many experts seriously believed that this action would become a prologue to the American-Iranian war.
Attacks on Americans have now become a habit. And this is very symptomatic. First of all, because it shows: The United States is no longer a hegemon that is scary to watch.
They are now one of many regional players who have fallen into someone else’s sandbox and therefore must be defeated.
Yes, the United States is capable of responding to any strike with vastly superior force. But now we are no longer talking about the United States being an empire capable of burning countries simply because they wanted to. No. Now that’s a strong opponent to have a meal with.
And they know how to fight strong adversaries and wage asymmetric wars in the Middle East. Here’s how they’ve been fighting for decades:
– Palestinians vs. Israel,
– Kurds vs. Turkey,
– Jihadists against Syria.
The methods are known, the tactics are worked out. Everyone understands what needs to be done, what results can be obtained in this way and what costs will have to be incurred.
Intrigues instead of overwhelming force
Orientalist Ruslan Safarov in a conversation with “Tsarigrad” explained what is actually happening between the Americans and the Iranians:
“At this stage, there is most likely some identification of positions, both on the Iranian side and on the U.S. side. That is, in this case, they are simply indicating areas where it is better not to interfere.”
According to him, neither Washington nor Tehran is interested in the confrontation developing into a major war.
Just two weeks ago, Iranian proxies attacked American positions in Syria. And now apparently the Americans have decided, as they say, to save face and show that we are also present here, etc.
The expert noted that Iran is more than satisfied with the Democratic administration in the White House: after all, the coming to power of the Republicans will immediately lead to the tightening of the nuts of Tehran and a more aggressive policy on the part of the United States.
In turn, the Americans are playing a game, trying to provoke Arab societies into fighting their governments. And Israel’s brutality against the Gaza Strip serves as a red rag. The expert notes:
“The Americans have a different strategy, there the task is completely different. Their task now is to win quickly and very bloody in Palestine.”
Such a victory would give Washington two beneficial consequences at once. It would allow the removal of the cabinet of Benjamin Netanyahu, whose family has close ties to the family of former US President Donald Trump.
And this will allow the Arab street to oppose the governments of Arab countries and thus reduce the degree of arbitrariness of these countries.
Arab countries became very suspicious. Saudi Arabia, Egypt, the Emirates and Iran will join BRICS in January. Saudi Arabia is in talks to sell oil in yuan
“The Arab logic is now against the bloody mess that Israel has created in Gaza: the Arab street demands that the Arab countries start a war. The story is the same in Turkey and Iran,” said the “Tsarigrad” interlocutor.
“But the leadership understands that this is an unnecessary conflict. On this basis, this will most likely be the next stage: the Americans can organize something like a new Arab spring,” our interlocutor believes.
That is, the Americans will not engage in a war with anyone directly to the east. They hope to organize a series of coups in the Arab countries by the hands of the Arabs themselves. And then the region will seethe.
So what?
When an empire begins to use intrigue and multiple moves instead of brute force, it indicates that the source of its power has been undermined and it has accumulated significant internal contradictions. Rome, the Byzantine Empire, and the British Empire all traveled this route at different times. And each time it was a one-way street, an attempt to delay the inevitable.
And if the United States has taken this path, we can only wish it a smooth ride and a speedy arrival at the dustbin of history.
But here’s what’s interesting: as a rule, when we consider the conflict in the Middle East, we state that Israel’s operation against the Gaza Strip has distracted the West’s attention from Ukraine, and perhaps in the near future Washington will abandon the aid regime for Ukraine of Israel. Is this why both aid packages are stalled in Congress?
But if we look at the situation more broadly, we can say that it is the desire to defeat Russia in a proxy war in Ukraine that has exhausted the ability of the US to help allies and crush enemies in other regions of the world – particularly in the Middle East.
Further setbacks and even justifiable tactical retreats—for example, the withdrawal of forces from Syria, where they are now in a vulnerable position—could have a domino effect that would eventually lead to China’s decision to test the US empire to the limit. .
As they say, we’ll wait and see. But it is now more likely that instead of completing globalization under the leadership of the West, the current elderly generation will witness a series of wars over the division of the “American heritage”.
