Oxymoron of the Day: Peace Bombing
One does not bomb for peace. If not an act of self-defense, bombing is a belligerent act of war. The intention of Trump and his handlers with respect to bombing Iran on 6/21 is not peace - far from it. Trump and his handlers want to tempt Iran into attacking US assets in the area in efforts to garner broader support from the US populace for war against Iran. At this juncture, the best strategic move for Iran is to make Israel pay for the American attacks, and this seems to be their direction.
Reports from Iran are indicating the US strikes have not produced any irreversible damage. Iran had been expecting such attacks for days, so it is extremely likely preparations were made, materials were moved, and no personnel were present. Much like the decoy mobile launchers Iran baited Israel into bombing during Israel's initial attack, this seems to be a similar scenario. Thanks to this foresight, Iran can simply mock the American attack as ineffective and continue punishing Israel.
The 20th wave of Iran's True Promise III - the first wave following the American attack - has not targeted any US Middle Eastern assets by accounts on the ground. However, images coming out of Israel are showing destruction that mirrors that which the IDF has inflicted upon Gaza infrastructure. The US attacks on Iran have not cessated the Iranian bombardment of Israel. To the contrary, the US attacks on Iran have worsened the punishment being inflicted upon Israel.
For too long, the US Military has been used as a battering ram at the beck and call of Israel to carry out operations it is incapable of performing itself. Israel's military is not powerful in the face of a formidable opponent. The IDF is at its best when it is attacking women, children, and civilian infrastructure. Israel is nothing more than a pathetic bully that has run to daddy. How much longer will this piteous relationship be allowed to put our men and women in uniform in the crosshairs?
The American and Israeli propaganda is beginning to fail. The complacency of the public is beginning to wane. The patience of the American populace is growing short. The pocketbooks of Americans are becoming lighter as incessant government spending drowns the economy in its inflationary consequences. The time to chart a different course has arrived. Stop being enamoured with the past. It's over. Begin walking a righteous path now. One does not bomb for peace.
