IMPERIAL STORM TROOPERS IN WEST ASIA
WHERE ARE THEY & WHAT ARE THEY DOING?
A Vague Start. Running those questions past sites normally relating “news” about the United States and its lordly ambitions brings very little information. However, sites, such as the Council on Foreign Relations, Establishment supporters, bring vague, disquieting statistics. To wit:
As of June [2024], the United States had several thousand service members stationed in the Middle East, and several thousand more on ships at sea in the region, although the numbers fluctuate. In total, the United States has military facilities across at least nineteen sites—eight of them considered to be permanent by many regional analysts —in countries including Bahrain, Egypt, Iraq, Israel, Jordan, Kuwait, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Syria, and the United Arab Emirates. The U.S. military also uses large bases in Djibouti and Turkey, which are part of other regional commands but often contribute significantly to U.S. operations in the Middle East.
The Council also alleges, without a shred of proof, that it knows where Iran-backed militias are active. It also neglects to explain why Iran shouldn’t exert any influence in the area while the United States is free to do as it pleases.
But let’s look at the numbers of Storm Troopers at these locations, from a source other than one controlled by the Establishment:
These figures, in the tens of thousands, are somewhat dated, coming from several years ago. With the buildup supporting Israeli terrorism, we can only conclude that the numbers have increased substantially. Estimates today range from 60,000 to 80,000 U.S. servicemen in West Asia.
Of course, there is America’s (and Israel’s) main target: Iran. Look at the bases surrounding the Islamic Republic. Notice the dearth of numbers of U.S. armed forces and “contractors”, i.e. mercenaries, at these installations.
And, given such an overwhelming and widespread occupation force, without the acquiescence of most governments, what happens? This following map shows attacks on U.S. forces in 2023 alone. Americans don’t seem to realize that their country invaded and occupied Syria—without cause. Americans don’t seem to realize that their country started a war with Iraq without cause, invading and occupying the country and, despite the Iraqi government’s demands that their soldiers leave forthwith, U.S. Storm Troopers are still there.
The Western media paints these attacks as irrational and unprovoked. Look at the August 28, 2024 edition of U.S. News and World Report:
The United States shifted significant naval and air forces to the Middle East this month from bases at home and abroad, adding to 10 months of increased American military presence in the region amid tensions between Israel and Iran.
The latest U.S. military deployments come after the killing of Ismail Haniyeh, Hamas' top political leader, sparked repeated Iranian threats of retaliation against Israel, which has neither confirmed nor denied its involvement in the July 31 airstrike that killed him in Tehran.
The U.S. Defense Department said it surged forces to the Middle East—dozens of advanced fighter jets and two aircraft carriers strike groups—to deter Iran from waging a wider regional war.
Or, as KRLD Radio, Dallas, Texas noted last week:
The United States has positioned about 18 warships, two of which are aircraft carriers, throughout the Middle East as it seeks to deter any possible attacks from Iran that could spark an all-out war with Israel.
While there have been some U.S. warships positioned in the Red Sea and Gulf of Aden combating the Iran-aligned Houthi rebels, more Navy and Air Force assets are being brought in as a show of force, the Pentagon shared.
Joining the two carrier strike groups operating in the Middle East is an Air Force F-22 Raptor squadron and a guided-missile submarine, the USS Georgia.
According to an unsourced Internet post, we get more of the same:
Since the Oct. 7 start of the Israel-Hamas war, which has devastated Gaza and inflamed the Middle East, Iran and its allied militias have launched more than 160 attacks on U.S. troops in the region and have struck at commercial ships in the Red Sea.
As CNN reported February 3, 2024:
The United States on Friday conducted major airstrikes on dozens of targets across Iraq and Syria in retaliation for a drone attack in Jordan last month that killed three US troops.
The strikes were larger in number and scale than previous ones launched since October, when Iran-backed armed groups began attacking US forces across the region in protest of Israel’s war in Gaza.
With the US warning of more strikes to follow, here’s what we know.
What triggered the strikes?
The US strikes were in response to a drone attack by Iran-backed militants on a US military outpost in Jordan on January 28, which killed three US service members and wounded more than 40 others.
The attack marked the worst loss of US military life in the region in nearly three years and the first US military fatalities since the war in Gaza erupted.
US President Joe Biden at the time vowed to hold “all those responsible to account at a time and in a manner our choosing.”
Is it the Iranians attacking? Or the Zionist Entity, murdering Palestinians and destroying their country? And the United States retaliating because the indigenous people resent foreigners controlling their country?
COMMENT. To the best of my knowledge, information, and belief, Congress has not declared war on the Arab and Muslim countries between the Pillars of Hercules and Iran. However, it has acquiesced in murderous attacks, invasions, and occupations of countries which have been at peace with the United States for centuries.
This has been done at the behest of the Zionists, who control the Yankee government. The Israeli entity doesn’t accept independent, self-supporting, economically viable states in the region. Because it is unable to fight all the armies of all the governments of West Asia, it uses the American voter, pig-stupid and badly-educated, to support his out-of-control government that believes it has the right to conquer the whole world.
There is absolutely no justification or reason, other than blind obedience to Israel, to attack, invade, and occupy all of West Asia. There is absolutely no justification or reason, other than blind obedience to Israel, to retaliate for murders, war crimes, and human rights violations against those countries. If the American soldiers, sailors, and Marines were not there, no one would strike them.
And why does nearly every “news” report about the region contain references to Iran-backed militias, resistance forces, or other opposition? And why does nearly every “news” report omit references to American-backed destruction and slaughter of West Asia?
Simple. Jews control the U.S. “news” media. Here’s part of a piece from Mondoweiss.com dated September 4, 2009, and written by Philip Weiss, a Jew:
As to Jews owning the media (as opposed to "the Jews)," being a myth, Mr. Goldfarb [writer/attorney] should know that that "myth" has legs. Unless there was a mass of overnight sales that have yet to be reported, the owners of the Washington Post, Newsweek, the New York Times, Boston Globe, NY Daily News, the Los Angeles Times, the Chicago Tribune, and a number of others happen to be Jewish as are the owners of CBS, ABC, and all of the major Hollywood studios. They don’t all have the same politics but they do share the same religious background. As for [Rupert] Murdoch, he considers himself to be an honorary Jew, having received numerous awards as a friend to Israel by major Jewish organizations and he has openly stated his unqualified support for Israeli government policy many times and his Wall Street Journal certainly reflects that.
And the Jews of Facebook and its parent Meta now block reporting from The Cradle because the news site offends its “community standards”. The Cradle obviously tells the truth, a violation of Jewish principles. What other report sources will they block because untruth is not their policy? Al Mayadeen in Beirut?
And what really are American goals in the region? Supposedly the basis for all these members of the U.S. armed forces being there, including the 5th Fleet positioned in the Persian Gulf? Here’s the “Defense” Department’s statement:
U.S. Has 4 Objectives in Middle East
Nov. 6, 2023 | By David Vergun, DOD News
The Defense Department currently has four lines of effort in the Middle East, said Pentagon Press Secretary Air Force Brig. Gen. Pat Ryder, who briefed the media today.
1. Protection of U.S. forces and citizens in the region.
2. Flow of critical security assistance to Israel as it defends against further Hamas terrorist attacks.
3. Coordination with the Israelis to help secure the release of hostages held by Hamas, to include American citizens.
4. Strengthening of force posture across the region to deter any state or nonstate actors from escalating the crisis beyond Gaza.
But the Pentagon can’t provide actual numbers of servicemen supporting its “four lines of effort”. And why is the United States of America protecting Israel? Why is the United States protecting a gang of murderers, war criminals and human rights violators? That forms the basis for three of the four “lines of effort”.
What will be U.S. policy be now that the International Court of Justice has declared on September 4, 2024 that Israel is illegally occupying Palestine; that Palestine should be recognized as a sovereign state; that the Israeli colonies there are unlawful and must be dismantled; that the colonists should be evacuated from them; and that Israel’s illegal occupation of Palestine violates the UN Charter.
