War – A Dangerous Web: Middle East, Russia, and China

The Neocon Agenda  

The escalating Middle East conflict is intricately linked to efforts to destabilize Russia, driven by a group of influential neoconservatives. Their strategy, rooted in the 1990s, aimed to eliminate perceived threats to Israel—namely Saddam Hussein, Bashar al-Assad, and Muammar Gaddafi—under the belief that this would secure peace for Israel. This vision, however, has unleashed chaos with far-reaching consequences.  

The neoconservative movement, shaped by key figures in conservative intellectual circles, forged connections in the 1970s between prominent families in Philadelphia. These ties influenced Benjamin Netanyahu, aligning him with the neocon ideology. The removal of Saddam, Assad, and Gaddafi became a central objective, pursued through U.S. foreign policy.  

Middle East Machinations  

The Iraq invasion was justified by fabricated claims of weapons of mass destruction, a deliberate lie crafted a year in advance to topple Saddam, who was seen as anti-Israel. The 2012 Benghazi attack on the U.S. embassy exposed covert CIA operations funneling arms to overthrow Gaddafi and Assad. Obama’s push to intervene in Syria, though rejected by Congress, continued through CIA-backed efforts, destabilizing the region further.  

These actions triggered massive refugee waves into Europe, undermining its social fabric. Neocons, now dominating NATO and influencing leaders like Germany’s Merz, the UK’s Starmer, and France’s Macron, remain fixated on confronting Russia. Yet, their Middle East interventions have allowed unassimilated militants to infiltrate Europe, setting the stage for potential unrest.  

Escalating Risks  

The neocon push to overthrow Iran’s government, seen as a threat to Israel, risks igniting a broader conflict. Iran supplies 80% of its oil to China, giving Beijing a strong economic incentive to intervene. Pakistan has warned that if Israel uses nuclear weapons against Iran, it will retaliate with nuclear force, according to a senior Iranian officer.  

The neocons’ short-sighted focus on immediate objectives—removing leaders like Saddam—failed to anticipate consequences like the rise of ISIS. Targeting Iran’s religious government, which replaced the Shah in 1979, could be perceived as a war against Islam itself, potentially sparking a jihad against both Judaism and Christianity. This could set Europe ablaze, as religious tensions escalate.  

Undermining U.S. Policy  

Neocons continue to influence U.S. foreign policy, opposing figures like Donald Trump who challenge their agenda. Recent endorsements of Kamala Harris by former officials like Dick Cheney signal their determination to maintain control. In Ukraine, figures like Lindsey Graham have urged Zelensky to ignore Trump, promising endless funding for the war against Russia.  

Warning: A Global Catastrophe Looms  

The neocon strategy, driven by a narrow focus on eliminating Israel’s adversaries, risks catastrophic consequences. Turning the Middle East conflict into a religious war could destabilize Europe, draw China into the fray, and escalate nuclear tensions. Their failure to consider long-term outcomes—evident in the Iraq invasion and its aftermath—threatens not just the Middle East but global stability. Avoid travel to Europe this summer, as rising tensions could spark widespread unrest. The world stands on the brink of a disaster that could have been avoided with foresight and restraint.
