The 4 Horsemen of the Coming Apocalypse [1] ['This Content Is Not Subject To Review Daily Kos Staff Prior To Publication.'] Date: 2024-04-15 Seems the Dictator, Fascist, Right-Wing Extremist and Religious Fanatic want to drag us into a war in the Middle East, again. Khamenei, a dyed in the wool religious maniac has only one objective… Destroy the state of Israel and kill every Jew in existence. Irans proxy’s are all too willing to further those goals. They knew, all of them, what the repercussions of their October terrorist attack would be. They welcomed it, intending only to sway public opinion and diminish western support for Israel. The lives of Palestinian’s, and any Muslim in the region mean nothing to them. Their own people are pawns, sacrificed to advance Khamenei’s “Holy War”. A more obnoxious oxymoron there has never been. Netanyahu knows this full well and his right-wing government is happy to oblige. Netanyahu’s right-wing seeks to destroy Israel’s enemies, taking full advantage of western allies, unthinkable acts of terror committed by Iran’s proxy’s and the overriding reality… That Israel’s very existence is threatened by a sea of sworn enemies in the region. Netanyahu knows that today, Israel holds a tenuous military advantage. In the ever changing landscape of military might in the region, Israel presses their military superiority, even though that brutal tactic creates more enemies for Israel than it eliminates. I believe the Israeli people desire peace. But their protests fall on deaf ears, and eyes not blinded, but focused squarely on revenge, retribution and the total elimination of an all-too-real existential threat. Instead of working toward peaceful resolution, the fear inherent in their right-wing ideology sees no recourse other than brutal aggression. Their strikes against targets in Syria are meant only to escalate this war, and solidify a western alliance against their enemies. Israel’s right-wing also seeks Trump’s return to power. For only with the full support of a fascist American President and right-wing legislature can they hope to defeat Iran. Trump is all in. Like Khamenei, he couldn’t care less who dies as long as the conflict escalates before our election in November. To Trump, blaming Biden for everything, and anything under the sun is the name of the game. Nothing else matters in his psychopathic quest to regain power. After all, all those felony indictments won’t just disappear on their own. We came 1 inch from war with Iran during Trump’s first term. Have no doubt whatsoever, Trump will welcome this conflict should he be reelected. Wrapping himself in a perceived righteousness by vilifying actual terrorists with no regard for the innocent people of the Middle East. Please don’t forget the architect of the entire Gaza conflict — Vladimir Putin. Let’s just say that preserving lives has never been one of his priorities. Re-installing Trump however is right at the top of his list. He’s doing pretty darn well in that regard. Democratic unity has been deteriorating steadily since the onset of the Gaza conflict. That’s just as Putin wants it. Russian manipulation, misinformation and election interference has reached a new level, reflecting its horrific intent. No longer content with the simple distortion of truth that has warped the minds of millions in the USA, Putin manipulates tensions and conflicts across the globe to realize his goals. Attention has intentionally been diverted from Ukraine, and lack of Democratic support for both Ukraine and the Biden administrations Middle East policy helps Putin advance his desire… Trump’s return to power and the dissolution of NATO. His subsequent conquest of the entire eastern bloc of the EU will promptly follow should Trump regain the presidency. Back here in the USA… John Bolton is foaming at the mouth. Dick Cheney will probably get dragged out of mothballs to manage/divide the profits among our military industrial oligarchy. “Republicans”, eager to divert attention from their criminal overlord however they can play directly into the hands of Vladimir Putin. Bad news for the PEOPLE of the Middle East. ALL of them. Dictators, right-wingers, fascists and religious fanatics. Now there’s a toxic mix. We should know. The only person actually working for peace is Joe Biden. President Biden has the right idea, and he is the only adult in the room. He’s working to establish a coalition of Middle Eastern States willing to recognize Israel’s right to exist. That won’t be easy, or come quickly. Nor will the subsequent brokerage of a two-state solution. Every American should support this diplomatic agenda, for it is the only clear path, the only sane path to resolution, and a lasting peace in the Middle East. Oh, there is no need to question Israel’s right to defend itself. Sadly, The Gaza conflict is not that. It’s only the latest excuse to obtain the objective of Israel’s right-wing. The American flow of armaments and money to Israel is misguided, at best. We can no longer afford to be complicit, in any way whatsoever to right wing governments anywhere in the world who commit humanitarian atrocities in the name of peace. Israel can take care of itself. My advice to the Iranians? Don’t fuck with em. For surely, Should the sovereignty of Israel continue to be threatened there will be no end to this conflict. Only an escalation of confrontation which will lead to the death of millions in the region. I’ll say this right now… The people of the USA will never support any direct American conflict with Iran. “Bi-Partisan calls for Swift Action” against Iran? Everyone knows we’re famous for “Bi-Partisanship” here in the USA. Except when it comes to Ukraine. MAGA morons will let Ukraine fall to Vladimir Putin while they primp and posture, accomplishing absolutely nothing. Both Netanyahu and Khamenei need to recognize the blatant reality. Continue on this course and your people will die, both Muslims and Jews. In the end, Israel & Iran will both have to accept a two state solution. As Americans it has become our duty to prevent the spread of Russian aggression, and the humanitarian conflicts around the world which take an unconscionable toll on human lives. No court or public official will do this for us. Where the USA leads the world follows. Make sure you do your part to keep us on the right side of history. For today, there is only one way forward for the USA, and the entire world. 💙 #VoteBlue24 - Across the ballot in your state - #BidenHarris24 💙 VOTE. MAGA. OUT. ALL OF THEM.
