This author and blogger has the sense of foreboding, that the United States will soon become more involved in overseas conflicts in a more direct manner.
The Russia-Ukraine War and the Israel-Gaza Conflict are escalating dangerously, and both represent major problems for American foreign policy.
Attempting to promote more military aid to Ukraine has been a struggle, and the sense is that Russia is emboldened by the inability of the US being able to promote more aid to Ukraine, ironically likely insuring a wider conflict.
Russia is likely to attempt to expand the war against former Soviet Union held areas before 1989—Latvia, Estonia, and Lithuania. This would bring the US and NATO into a wider conflict.
The Israel-Gaza conflict is likely to escalate with Iranian involvement, and will put America into the cross hairs of supporting a right wing Israeli government, which has shown no concern about human rights in its war on Hamas, sadly making the Palestinians in the Gaza Strip to suffer massive loss of civilians.
All that these two conflicts are doing is complicating Joe Biden’s Presidential campaign.
One would expect that there could be wider war soon, against all desires, and if that happens, as sad as that is, it would help insure Joe Biden’s victory, despite vehement anger of many, as no President has ever lost an election for another term in a time of war!
Iran has fired some drones at Israel. The US intercepted them.
Earlier today, before Iran started shooting rockets at Israel, there were clashes between Israeli settlers and Palestinians in the West Bank.
In addition to that, there have been the clashes with Hezbollah for several months now, as well as the Houthis attacking ships in the region.
Israel launched a strike on Iran overnight.
