As we speak, the situation between Israel and Iran is becoming more and more violent and points toward a possible global conflict, yet it seems that mainstream media outlets are barely spending any sort of time on the story. As we speak, there are Israeli tanks entering the southern portion of Lebanon. This is not just “localized raids.” We are witnessing Israeli Defense Force ground operations being launched in Lebanon. Hezbollah has made it clear this is an act that will lead to a full blown war between the two nations. And you can guarantee such a conflict will pull the world’s superpowers into the fray.
Yes, ladies and gentlemen, World War III could be waiting for us just around the corner. Scary stuff, right? Interestingly, in California, former President Donald Trump was giving a speech during a campaign rally where he himself said that he was worried our nation could “end up in a world war” at some point over the course of the next few months.
U.S. Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump is worried that World War III could break out in the next four months due to the policies of the Democrats leading the US government.
“I actually worry about the next three months. I really do. I worry about the next three and a half four months will end up in a world war because of this, the people that we have [in government],” he went on to say at the rally.
Not surprisingly, the Biden administration has been making a number of massive mistakes when it comes to dealing with the Middle East. Unfortunately, the opportunities to employ diplomacy to end this situation seem to have long since past, especially since Israeli tanks have entered southern Lebanon:
Israeli tanks have burst through the gates of a United Nations peacekeeper base in southern Lebanon, the UN confirmed today. It comes after Israel’s Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu demanded the UNIFL withdraw from combat zones and Hezbollah strongholds — and accused the UN of inadvertently ‘providing terrorists with human shields’. In a statement addressed to U.N. Secretary General Antonio Guterres, Netanyahu said: ‘The time has come for you to withdraw UNIFIL from Hezbollah strongholds and from the combat zones.
Hezbollah has also been engaged in counterattacking the Jewish State by firing a series of missiles at four different Israeli military bases:
Hezbollah claimed it had destroyed four military bases in Israel today as it launched a blistering rocket attack across the southern border. The Iranian-proxy group said it had hit bases in Al-Jarrah, Za’rit and bases in the Golan Heights after claiming to have pushed back advancing forces late Friday. Its fighters were ‘targeting the explosives factory there with a salvo of… missiles’, the group said in a statement this morning.
On Sunday, Hezbollah deployed a drone to attack northern Israel which injured more than 60 people:
More than 60 people have been injured, several of them critically, in a drone attack in northern Israel, according to first responders. There were no immediate official reports of deaths from the attack, but the high number of injuries reported makes the attack one of the bloodiest since the war started last October. The news comes after Hezbollah said Sunday it had fired a swarm of attack drones on an Israeli “Golani” infantry training camp in Binyamina, south of Haifa. The Lebanon-based militant group said the attack was in response to Israeli strikes in Lebanon on Thursday that killed 22 people and injured 117, according to the Lebanese Ministry of Health.
Many Americans don’t seem to understand that we’re about to be pulled into this conflict directly. For example, reports state that approximately 100 U.S. troops will be operating THAAD air defense systems soon to be sent to the Jewish State.
On Saturday we were among the first outlets to report that the United States is preparing to deploy THAAD anti-ballistic missile systems in Israel, a major development which will put American troops directly in harm’s way (or… boots on the ground) amid the tense showdown with Iran. The Pentagon in follow-up statements to the NY Times has confirmed the THAAD (Terminal High Altitude Area Defense) systems will be sent to Israel, and that about 100 American troops will operate them.
If both Israel and Iran begin to fire volleys of missiles at one another, our country will be involved in the fray in a very significant way. Israel already promised they would respond to the latest missile attack from Iran. Whatever they are thinking of doing, it could be the start of the global conflict.
A report from the Daily Mail says that threats coming out of Iran toward Israel are extremely concerning:
Iran has threatened to recalculate its nuclear weapons programme if Israel launches a revenge strike as Biden has insisted Tehran is not building nukes. Since Hamas’s October 7 attack last year on Israel triggered a wave of regional hostilities between Israeli forces and Hezbollah militants, officials in Tehran have warned the Islamic republic could change its nuclear doctrine if it faced an existential threat. But they have been deliberately vague about what that might entail.
At some point, everything will be put down on the table and that’s when stuff gets real. Then we have the Russian conflict with Ukraine where Russians are taking more and more territory in eastern Ukraine.
Russian forces have seized control of another eastern Ukrainian settlement, Moscow said on Sunday, in what would be the latest in a string of gains in the Donetsk region if confirmed. The Kremlin said on Sunday that its Center group of forces had captured the Donetsk village of Mykhailivka.Several settlements in Ukraine bear the same name, and Russia’s Defense Ministry statement is likely referring to the village immediately east of Selydove, southeast of the strategic Ukrainian-held hub of Pokrovsk where Moscow has been concentrating its efforts.
Russia is winning this war. I don’t think that’s a secret. The president of Ukraine, Volodymyr Zelenskyy is now begging for NATO to be granted permission to fire western missiles inside Russia, while also accusing them of deploying North Korean troops against him.
Zelensky’s comments came days after visiting several European capitals to press his case for more military and financial help in the war against invading Russian forces. “We see an increasing alliance between Russia and regimes like in North Korea,” Zelensky said in his evening address. “It is no longer just about transferring weapons. It is actually about the transfer of people from North Korea to the occupier’s military forces. “Obviously, in such circumstances, our relations with our partners need to be developed. The frontline needs more support,” he said.
And, just in case you weren’t alarmed enough, the Wall Street Journal has revealed that fleets of unidentified drones have been seen flying over military bases on the east coast.
U.S. Air Force Gen. Mark Kelly wasn’t sure what to make of reports that a suspicious fleet of unidentified aircraft had been flying over Langley Air Force Base on Virginia’s shoreline. Kelly, a decorated senior commander at the base, got on a squadron rooftop to see for himself. He joined a handful of other officers responsible for a clutch of the nation’s most advanced jet fighters, including F-22 Raptors. For several nights, military personnel had reported a mysterious breach of restricted airspace over a stretch of land that has one of the largest concentrations of national-security facilities in the U.S. The show usually starts 45 minutes to an hour after sunset, another senior leader told Kelly.
The first drone arrived shortly. Kelly, a career fighter pilot, estimated it was roughly 20 feet long and flying at more than 100 miles an hour, at an altitude of roughly 3,000 to 4,000 feet. Other drones followed, one by one, sounding in the distance like a parade of lawn mowers.
The correct course of action here would be to shoot down the drones that are flying over the military bases. You don’t sit back and do nothing, allowing your enemies to gather intelligence on you. It shouldn’t take a genius to know that.
Let’s hope that next month’s election results in former President Donald Trump becoming the next active president of the United States. His strong leadership might be what it takes to get all of this mess under control.
