We need to precede any such reports with “Media outlets report that…”. We have no idea the chess game really being played. I thought the dog of war was thick during desert storm. This time around, with the full power of social media available to them, the powers that be are no doubt obscuring the real agenda. This is a war between the financial and military industrial complexes and the shift to a multipolar world, while still allowing the dominant players to save face and cooperate on a global system of full spectrum dominance over their populations. Not a war between Israel and the US vs Iran. It is just the canvas, not the painting that will emerge.
