Some great investment opportunities here...protecting the US petrodollar

Editor's note: This is excellent news for the United States of Lockheed Martin and its related weapon manufacturers who are going to profit by protecting the US petrodollar against the BRICS nations. US Secretary of State Antony Blinken who is a US weapon sales rep reported that the US government directly negotiated $81 billion in sales, a 56% increase from 2022. War is a fabulously efficient way to increase arms manufacturing for lucrative contracts. One wonders what Victoria Nuland's connections are to US weapon manufacturers? What we will see are continued news reports attempting to link all the attacks on US military assets and ships in the Red Sea back to Iran. The Pentagon stated that the attack on Tower 22 killing 3 US soldiers in Jordan was not backed by Iran. The really big question to answer here while considering US military volunteers are dropping, would you volunteer to go kill Palestinians or fight a war in the Middle East (it wasn't an Iranian drone strike) for the Biden Administration? Would you volunteer for service in the US military to go kill Russians in Ukraine for BlackRock? Would you volunteer for the US military to go to the Middle East and kill a shitload of people to protect the US petrodollar?

Report: US Plans Weeks-Long Bombing Campaign Against Iranian Targets

The White House says the US response to the Jordan drone attack won't be a 'one-off'

by Dave DeCamp | January 31, 2024

US officials told NBC News that the US is planning to launch a weeks-long bombing campaign in the Middle East in retaliation for the drone attack in northeast Jordan that killed three American soldiers.

The officials said that the targets are expected to include Iranian targets outside of Iran, and the campaign will involve strikes and cyber operations. Other reports have said the US is considering targeting Iranians in Iraq and Syria or the Iranian navy.

While the potential targets are not inside Iran, direct attacks on the Iranian military could provoke a full-blown war between the US and Iran. The US is considering taking this course of action even though the Pentagon admitted it has no evidence Iran was directly involved in the drone attack in Jordan.

The Pentagon has said the Jordan attack had the "footprints" of Kataib Hezbollah, one of the main Shia militias in Iraq. The US says that Iran is responsible only because it arms Kataib Hezbollah and other Shia militias. US officials told The New York Times that while Iran arms and funds the Shia militias, there's no evidence Tehran is "calling the shots."

White House National Security Council spokesman John Kirby said Wednesday that US intelligence suggests the drone attack was carried out by the Islamic Resistance of Iraq, an umbrella group of Iraqi Shia militias, including Kataib Hezbollah.

The Islamic Resistance has taken credit for many of the 160 attacks that have been launched against US forces in Iraq and Syria since mid-October. The attacks started in response to US support for the Israeli slaughter in Gaza.
