BIDEN'S ACTIONS IN THE MIDDLE EAST COULD UNLEASH WORLD WAR III


THE U.S. MILITARY IS BUILDING UP ITS FIREPOWER NEXT TO ISRAEL. IN RESPONSE TO
THE ESCALATION, CHINA IS SENDING ITS NAVY TO THE REGION.

The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) believes that a ground offensive in the Gaza
Strip should be launched as soon as possible, The Times of Israel reports.
However, according to the newspaper, the military fears that the government “may
never order a ground offensive or postpone it for a long period”. The Army is
convinced it can achieve its goals “even after suffering heavy casualties among
soldiers”. It is noted that most of the military remains near the Gaza Strip for
the time being, ahead of the expected ground offensive.

While the Israelis, backed by the U.S., are ready to move to a ground operation,
there is growing global resistance to this scenario. For the first time since
the escalation began. Israel received a call from Chinese Foreign Minister Wang
Yi. Speaking with Israeli Foreign Minister Eli Cohen, the Beijing representative
said that all countries have the right to self-defense, but they “must protect
civilians and abide by international law and protect the security of civilians”.
He also added that China was deeply concerned about the “continued escalation of
the conflict”.

It must be said that China's position in this conflict is not only different
from ours, but also the one that is more aimed at minimizing casualties. In a
call to his Palestinian Authority counterpart Riyad al-Maliki, Wang Yi said
Beijing “expresses its deep sympathy for the Palestinian side”. However, he
added that “at the moment, what the people of Gaza need most is security, food
and medicine, not war, weapons and ammunition”. Russia, which also insists on
de-escalation and the establishment of a Palestinian state in compliance with
the UN resolution, has a similar position.

The U.S. military is currently increasing its firepower in the region in an
effort to prevent Iran and other Iranian-backed groups from getting involved in
the conflict. The U.S. force in the region includes a network of bases in the
Middle East that now has 2,000 troops, 2,400 marines and 13 warships on alert.
Several A-10 Warthog and F-15E attack aircraft arrived in the region last week,
and more advanced warplanes are expected to join them. The Pentagon is also
urgently moving air defense equipment and ammunition to Israel as well as the
navy to the eastern Mediterranean, Reuters reported.

As reported by The Sun, Beijing has sent six warships to the region “amid fears
the Israeli crisis could escalate into all-out war”. Task Force 44 includes
among others the destroyer Zibo, the frigate Jingzhou and the integrated supply
ship Qiandaohu. The warships will very quickly be in an area from which they can
influence the situation, as the order to move out on October 21 caught them in
Muscat, Oman. Before that, Zhai Jun, the Chinese government's special envoy for
the Middle East, said that China was ready to act together with Russia to
de-escalate the situation.

Russian missile forces are ready to help China in case there is any incident
between our and their fleets. President Vladimir Putin has instructed the
Russian Air Force to exercise ‘weaponized control’ over what is happening in the
Mediterranean Sea by constantly patrolling MiG-31s with hypersonic Kinzhal
systems, which could seriously harm our aircraft carriers.

President Joe Biden knows this well. As recently as last year, he was saying
that the Kinzhal missile is quite ordinary, except for one important factor: it
cannot be shot down. Even if it's a bluff, they can't ignore it in Washington.
Especially with the strife at home and the impending collapse of Ukraine, which
after Afghanistan will be an even worse blow to the Democrat Party.

The New York Times reported, citing sources, that Washington had asked Tel Aviv
not to launch an invasion, giving the U.S. a chance to better prepare for
possible attacks on its forces in the Middle East. This is the most up-to-date
information. Has the voice of reason been heard in the White House? Is there a
realization that a ground operation in Gaza could result not only in a
humanitarian catastrophe, but also jeopardize the safety of our military
contingent in the Middle East?

The salvation for both the Palestinians and the image of hawkish politicians may
be the imitation of the ground operation in Gaza, its further rapid withdrawal
and the declaration of accomplished objectives, i.e. victory.

The prestige of Russia, China and Iran, which have unequivocally sided with the
Palestinians, will increase. Unfortunately, a major war cannot be completely
ruled out either. The prospects for the situation in the Gaza Strip and the
Middle East in general are bleak. Because of its bitterness and historical
mutual hatred, the confrontation between Palestinians and Israelis may well
become the occasion for a war in the entire Middle East, and then a global war.
The involvement of Iran in the conflict and the likely mutual use of nuclear
weapons threatens to spread the war far beyond the region. The Global South is
openly challenging us, and we must exercise the political wisdom to respond with
competition, not war.

In an attempt to score political points for the upcoming elections, the
Democratic Party is ready to finally destroy the already fragile world order,
blaming China, Russia, Hamas – anyone – for its own miscalculations. But the
voter is no longer believing them. The failures are too obvious and trying to
shift the blame to others seems laughable.

But The Washington Post's report that the U.S. is preparing a plan to mass
evacuate its citizens from the Middle East in case of an escalation of the
Palestinian-Israeli conflict is not funny at all. Apparently, the White House
has decided to match forces with China and Russia after all... This will
certainly not end well.
