The War Against Iran, Up Close and Personal (and All Too Far Away)
Last week “Secretary of War” Pete Hegseth insulted Americans by claiming that a 50 percent increase in the US military budget – from an incomprehensible one trillion dollars to an impossible one and a half trillion – was a “fiscally responsible investment.”
Alcune recenti analisi indipendenti formulate da centri studio di riconosciuto prestigio come il Royal United Services Institute (Rusi) e il Center for Strategic and International Studies (Csis) convergono sulla stessa conclusione: la guerra sferrata contro l’Iran sta intaccando significativamente le scorte statunitensi di munizioni critiche.
News out of the Pentagon is that the great retreat from Germany is beginning. Five thousand U.S. troops are being withdrawn at the request of a petulant president who can’t stand criticism of his disastrous war of choice with Iran. (Then again, maybe it wasn’t a war of choice, as it appears his commander-in-chief, Bibi Netanyahu, gave him none.)
