“The U.S. is running a policy in the Middle East necessitated on controlling warfare. If the U.S. can keep its violent military operations in four nations of the Middle East contained to bombing actions portrayed as stand-alone actions in tit-for-tat exchanges, then the desired goals of defending Israel and allowing it to continue its genocide as well as meeting the day’s requirement for cable news footage will be met.

The risk in a gamble such as controlling warfare is as unwise as it is cynical. The dangers of creating greater instability and conflict in the region, upsetting the world economy, and pledging the US to a conventional war on behalf of Israel are dangers that make such a risk prohibitive. The White House, Pentagon and State Department are putting this country in positions of great harm. Military officers and senior enlisted who understand this must speak up, especially those at the highest levels.”
