US-Israel Attack Iran: “Leave it to Bibi” Playbook Used Again, US Feigns Ignorance

▪️Israel doesn’t exist militarily without constant and complete US support – every plane, bomb, shred of intel comes from the US just like with Ukraine;

▪️US policy papers have described in detail how to use Israel to wage war on Iran and maintain plausible deniability;

▪️The US seeks to maintain instability in the region to reduce energy exports to both China and the rest of Asia, increase Asia’s dependence on the US for energy, as well as continue weakening and undermining Iran itself;

▪️Because the US cannot maintain high-intensity protracted warfare in the region, it is using “negotiations,” “peace talks,” and its proxies to maintain a slow burn instead;
