      This proves that US has no real policy in middle east, they want oil without fighting which we all know that's not going to happen, Iranian proxies are now getting stronger and well-armed, not like before, imagine militias have drones, ATGMs, air defenses, tanks and vehicles, they are literally small armies, not to mention their cyber warfare capabilities, Houthis now has ballistic missiles, anti ship missiles, they are much more stronger now and ground invasion means US will lose for sure, look for Israel which is US proxy, HMS kicked their butt in Gaza, more than 4 months in fight and thousands of their troops were killed, dozens and dozens of videos show how HMS destroyed IDF vehicles, this gives Iranian proxies more confident that they can do the same with US forces, and in my opinion Yes they can.
      US created alot of enemies in middle east that they cannot manage anymore, that's why US time in middle east is about to finish, maybe 5-10 years at max.
      Now Russians will give weapons to those proxies because of what US did in Ukraine, believe me things in middle east is now out of US control, it is just a matter of time now.

    Fun fact. US has been supplying weapons to the same group they claim they fight against.
    US requested surplus, mostly Soviet era weapons from Eastern European NATO members. They provided them, Jordanian AF transported them and US diatributed them. Totally indiscriminately to all groups, as long they were fighting against Assad, including the group they claimed to be fighting against. Kurdish and Iranian forces seized some of those weapons and Iran requested answers from the countries the weapons were linked to. Our government, along with some others, asked US about that and the answer was it was probably seized in battle and the story was swept under the rug. But the problem was, there were complete shipments in original crates, with paperwork. Not seized in battle, but delivered to them. By US......

    The U.S. presence in Syria is illegal because it doesn’t have UN mandate or Syrian officials invitation.
    The main objective of the U.S. is to disrupt supply line between Iran and Hezbollah. The U.S. Airforce allegedly fighting ISIS for more than 2 years while ISIS and Jehat-al-Nusra were taking over Syria, then Russian airforce with Iranian allied forces from the ground pushed back ISIS AND ALQAEDA in Syria in 4 months. There is no doubt that U.S. wished ISIS and others topple the Syrian regime and weren’t really damaging their fighting capacities and allowed lucrative trade between Turkey and ISIS.

      An unstoppable boogeyman threat until the Russians put their foot down. I remember the news stories painting ISIL as some sort of superdemon army and despite constant Coalition air strikes they kept advancing into Syria and Iraq. For some reason they were good in Syria and bad in Iraq! But as soon as Russia denied the air space over Syria, suddenly ISIL became useless. They couldn't advance any further. What a coincidence. We almost had WW3 when Hillary wanted to declare a no fly zone over Syria during her presidential run.

Things with a longer time horizon than 4 years haven't been seriously planned for decades. Individual bureaucrats are bought or blackmailed by different foreign lobbies and are only trying to loot as much as possible during their term. This is how us govt is zealously supporting a state located in Palestine, even though it's terrible for their diplomatic position, expensive and hopeless - it's the largest lobby, most money, most blackmail. Centralized decision making doesn't really exist, it's just marionettes being pulled in every direction with thousands of strings. This is why they are so ineffective recently.

      as lebanese add that hesbolla was acting against the will of the Local people and government, which will undoubtedly lead to resistance and war if this continues. especially that with all the smuggling and government corruption(and corrupting the military) and manipulation they are enforcing, we lebanese are people of God and have tolerated this to prevent bloodshed but since alot of blood was spilled by this group and the economic crisis was abused for the groups agendas and other countries agenda including syria and iran and we all know they are using lebanon as staging ground to advance their ideologies and war and fantasies, what do you think is gona happen? any1 older than 20 will know how political killings are common place in lebanon to take over the government and land. Seek peace and know its better to talk to people than forcing anything with a gun, while its possible.

For example, I know Iran is Shia and was scratching my head how they were "supporting" Iraq because I still associate Iraq with Sunni as Saddam was Sunni. Boom! Ignorance cleared!

      Don't worry about not knowing that Iraq had a Shia majority when Saddam was in power because it really looked like the US government didn't know that either or they would have worked out that removing Saddam would (a) remove Iran's biggest enemy in the region, (b) put the Shias in power in Iraq and (c) make Iraq an ally of Iran and Iran the unchallenged regional power in the area. Removing Saddam was a massive own goal for the US as it significantly strengthened Iran.

      @@ArchOfficial That is simply not true. Everything I wrote could be deduced at the time. The US invaded Iraq because Bush junior wanted to finish off the job Bush Senior had started but not finished of removing Saddam in the first Gulf War because Saddam managed to put down the Shia rebellion in the south. Between the first Gulf War and the invasion to remove Saddam the US enforced no fly zones on the Kurdish north and Shia south of Iraq and imposed sanctions. Saddam was boxed in with very little room for manoeuvre and was trying just to survive when we invaded.
      There was absolutely no need or requirement to help the US invade Iraq but Blair was desperate to do so and to get public support which is why he published the dodgy dossier that falsely claimed Saddam had WMDs ready to launch in 45 minutes. Remember we were also allies of the US at the time of the Vietnam War but thankfully Harold Wilson never went to the US's aid then

    And the moment you see this, one notices the size of dissafection for Western occupying forces in Iran, Iraq, Syria, Lebannon and Yemen.
