US aircraft carrier USS Nimitz is heading towards the Middle East as the conflict between Israel and Iran spirals into all-out war.
Donald Trump earlier warned that Iran will experience ‘the full strength’ of the American military if it attacks the US amid the conflict with Israel, despite reports he had vetoed Israel’s plans to assassinate Iran’s Supreme Leader.
The US President warned Tehran that if ‘we are attacked in any way, shape or form by Iran, the full strength and might of the US Armed Forces will come down on you at levels never seen before’.
This all comes down to what ‘we’ means. So far, and as long as Trump continues to keep out of the conflict, ‘we’ means we are going to keep out of the conflict. This is good. It means radical Israeli Supremists are not getting any help from USA in establishing their Greater Israel fantasy; thus keeping them from becoming sole hegemon of the Middle East. This is KOBK game theory playing out before our eyes. ABN
