The US has, in all military operations throughout its history sought to exterminate all human life where and when possible, turning nations into failed states and inhibiting life for everyone, not just governments it targets.

In Serbia it targeted the power grid.

In Iraq the US starved half a million children to death even before its invasion and occupation killed another 1 million.

In Libya vital infrastructure for agriculture was deliberately destroyed.

In Syria the US seized and denied grain to deliberately starve the Syrian civilian population.

And now the US seeks to do ALL of these things to Iran and it IS.

As the US continues destroying Iran, and as more egregious crimes against humanity are required to do so, it will depend on its Israeli proxies to carry them out, or at least claim to carry them out, attacks that will cause immense human death and the destruction of vital infrastructure, all so the US can claim plausible deniability for itself.

However, every bomb, missile, plane and drop of fuel Israel uses was given to it by the US, every target is fixed by US intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance, and each sortie made possible by US capabilities Israel doesn’t have including extensive aerial refueling, suppression of air defenses, region-wide radar enabling situational awareness, and even combat search and rescue.

Every “Israeli” action is an American action.

Thus every “protest” by the US is an act of theater primarily because if the US doesn’t want these targets hit it will simply deny Israel the ISR and coordinated operational capabilities (aerial refueling, suppression of air defenses, electronic warfare etc.) required to hit them.

The US knows, however, no one knows or cares about these material realities and will instead allow their myopic obsessions and emotions convince themselves somehow the Israelis, not the Americans, are in the driver’s seat and these actions were “Israeli,” not American, despite the fact Israel wouldn’t exist in the first place (just like Ukraine) without full and constant support.

Again, this DOES NOT absolve Israel for the war crimes carried out amid this war of aggression.

Like America’s proxies in Ukraine, all involved in atrocities must be fought against and held accountable.

However, if you want the war to end and the danger eliminated, identity the root of the danger, not just obsess over the tips of the branches or their falling leaves.
