The War Council of the Weak

The War Council of the Weak

The News: Axios reports that senior defense and intelligence officials from both Israel and Saudi Arabia are currently in Washington. They are huddled in meetings with the Trump administration to discuss potential military strikes on Iran.

This comes as Trump waves the threat of an "armada" moving toward the region.

The Commentary: The masks are not just slipping; they are being trampled on the floor of the Oval Office. For decades, we were told that "normalization" was about peace. Today, we see the truth: normalization is a military pact for war. The "Custodians" of the Holy Mosques are sitting at the same table as the occupiers of Jerusalem, planning an assault on a Muslim neighbor.

But look closer at this picture. Why are they in Washington?

Because neither Tel Aviv nor Riyadh has the courage or the capacity to face the Axis of Resistance alone. They are begging the American Emperor to fight a war they know they cannot survive.

They believe an American "armada" is a shield. They are mistaken. If the skies over Tehran light up, the glass towers of the Gulf and the military bases of the occupation will be the first collateral damage. They are plotting fire, forgetting that the Resistance holds the matches to the world's energy supply.
