‘Disaster for the Empire’: Threat of Regional War in Middle East w/ Brian Becker
President Biden vowed retaliation for the attack that killed three US soldiers at a US military outpost near the Syria-Jordan border on January 28. While Biden blamed “Iran-backed militias,” the responsibility for the attacks was claimed by militias in Iraq who have been targeting US bases across the region since October 7 for supporting Israel’s genocide.
Brian Becker, the host of The Socialist Program, discusses the growing “Axis of Resistance” and the expanding war in the Middle East.
“On Oct 6, Israel was about to be embraced by the reactionary regimes of the Middle East & its completely oppressive rule was going to be normalized. That’s off the table now because of the resistance of the Palestinian people themselves.” –
