I'm curious, why do you think he actually wants it to continue? Geopolitical strategy is an ugly and complicated beast but most people seem to think it's as simple as "old man wants genocide".
His argument is a simplification, yes, of course it's not as simple as "old man wants genocide". It's more like "old man doenst really mind genocide thst much as long as he gets to keep the influence over a proxy state and also his own home state"
That's fair, thanks for expanding. Now I ask, do you think any other US president would do the same in his shoes? Why or why not?
I've heard about oil off the coast of Gaza. I've heard some stories about a canal.
My personal theory:
Saudi Arabia and Israel were just about to normalize relations. Iran didn't like that, and pushed Hamas to attack in Oct. Meanwhile, there's some oil depletion stuff happening worldwide except USA and Canada. If the middle east got itself together it could be a global power to rival the US or China. This kind of destabilizing war does a lot to stop that from happening.
I don't think it's any one thing though.
Interesting thought, though wasn't it revealed the plan for the attack started a few years ago? That might weaken the normalized relations aspect but it still could be something they saw coming maybe.
I wasn't aware, but I don't think that changes anything.
The US has plans for an invasion of Canada. Doesn't mean that it's going to happen anytime soon
Biden was falling asleep during the presidential debates. He's a senile old man and obvious figurehead who's just doing as he's told IMHO
