The U.S. and Europe — the Brits particularly — are uncontrolled and flouting worldwide regulation as they perform navy strikes in Yemen, Syria and Iraq. The West claims it’s an act of self-defense, however as a substitute of killing or arresting particular people answerable for assaults, are engaged in collective punishment. I believe we’re coming to some extent the place anger towards the West goes to boil over and the U.S. and Europe will get a style of their very own medication. All of this was avoidable, however the U.S. and Britain have satisfied their residents that assaults on overseas international locations with out the backing of the UN is totally applicable. It’s not. These actions shred worldwide help for the U.S. proclaimed “rules-based worldwide order.”
The newest incident to spark outrage is a hellfire missile strike in Baghdad.
Based on CENTCOM, Abu al-Saadi was the one goal of the assassination in Baghdad. Acording to them, he was answerable for assaults towards American bases.
Based on a pro-resistance supply near the PMU, al-Saadi was assassinated alone in a automobile with out some other companions being assassinated, opposite to the preliminary studies of a second particular person.
[Other] Reviews state that the focused assassination hit the autos of Kataib Hezbollah commanders, particularly Abu Baqir al-Saadi and Hajj Arkan al-Alaywi.
America ostensibly has pleasant relations with the Authorities of Iraq. The traditional process underneath the “rules-based worldwide order” requires america to concern an indictment towards the alleged perpetrators of Tower 22 bombing after which current that to the Authorities of Iraq and request arrest and extradition. Fairly than comply with a diplomatic route, america carried out an act of warfare on the sovereign territory of Iraq. This act offers Iraq — once more underneath the “rules-based worldwide order” proclaimed as sacrosanct by america — the precise to strike again towards U.S. targets.
Within the quick aftermath of the assassination, Iraqis took to the streets of Baghdad chanting ,”God is Nice, America is the Nice Devil”.
I might not wish to be a U.S. diplomat or CIA officer in Baghdad. They will be focused and I might not be stunned if they’re attacked. This kind of motion doesn’t diminish the keenness for attacking U.S. bases and personnel in Iraq. Simply the alternative.
BREAKING: With Harakat Hizbullah al-Nujaba main the best way in solidarity with Kata’ib Hizbullah, the Islamic Resistance in Iraq has simply struck the unlawful US ZOG base on Al-Omar oilfield in Syria’s Deir Ezzor! Suicide drones have prompted HUGE explosions!
Don’t consider this alone because the strikeback for Hajj Abou Baqir al-Saadi (https://t.me/Cultures_of_Resistance/25916?single) (R.A.)! No, occupiers! That is however the starting!
I consider the approaching days will see a major improve in assaults on U.S. bases and personnel within the area. This almost certainly will result in additional assaults by U.S. forces on targets inside Iraq, which is just going to enrage the Iraqi folks and power the Authorities of Iraq to demand that the U.S. withdraw its forces. Worst case, Iraq breaks relations with Washington.
Iraq will not be the one one pissed off at Washington’s antics. Biden’s Nationwide Safety mouthpiece, John Kirby, did some critical harm over the previous twenty 4 hours with this silly remark:
On-the-Report Press Gaggle by NSC Coordinator for Strategic Communications John Kirby – White Home, Feb 6 2024
Q Hey, Kirby. Thanks a lot for doing this. When America is speaking a couple of hostages deal, is it a part of a much bigger deal of normalization with Saudi Arabia, or are we speaking about two totally different paths right here?
MR. KIRBY: No, these are two various things. […]
…
On the identical time, we had been, earlier than the seventh of October, and are nonetheless now having discussions with our counterparts within the area, Israel and Saudi Arabia — clearly, the 2 key ones — about making an attempt to maneuver ahead with a normalization association between Israel and Saudi Arabia.So these discussions are ongoing as nicely. We definitely acquired constructive suggestions from each side that they’re prepared to proceed to have these discussions. However that may be a separate monitor and never associated particularly to making an attempt to get this prolonged humanitarian pause in place. Each are actually necessary although.
The Saudis wasted no time in issuing a blistering denunciation:
This letter is diplomatic converse for calling america a bald-faced liar. The Biden crew has didn’t study that you just can not make palatable chocolate mousse out of cow manure.
The trend towards the West will not be confined to the Center East. A video was posted tonight exhibiting a few Russian gents confronting British diplomats at a restaurant in Moscow. The anger is actual and rising.
If the shoe was on the opposite foot and a overseas authorities carried out an assault in Washington or London, would the U.S. or the Brits sit again and do nothing? In fact not. America has grown accustomed to wantonly utilizing navy power and not using a clear strategic goal. This isn’t one thing distinctive to Biden. Obama did it, George W. Bush did it and Invoice Clinton did it. America received away with it previously with out struggling any important blowback that threw into query the effectiveness and competence of its navy energy.
We are actually witnessing a turning level. The U.S. use of navy proxies in Ukraine and Syria actually is blowing up in its face. Ditto in Yemen. The U.S. will proceed bombing and the Houthis will proceed to launch anti-ship missiles and drones. That is headed in direction of an escalation that the U.S. can not afford to battle, particularly in an election yr. People should not psychologically ready to lose. That was the message of George Patton.
But, if america continues on its current course of making an attempt to bomb its technique to peace it should fail and fail spectacularly. Each in Ukraine and within the Center East. When that occurs, America might be turned the wrong way up. I’m not saying america is incapable of successful a navy victory in idea, however pursuing that plan of action would require america to endure a large mobilization and a restructuring of the economic system as a way to re-create a reliable industrial base that might help and maintain such an effort. That ain’t going to occur. The present U.S. navy campaigns usually tend to destroy American affect abroad and spark home unrest that may create chaos throughout the breadth of America. The folks of the United Staes are going to study a tough lesson — there are limits to what might be achieved with standard navy energy.
