Biden Says The United States "Does Not Seek Conflict In The Middle East" While Actively Dropping Bombs There by Ms Caitlin Johnstone!

Listen to a reading of this article (reading by Tim Foley):

Saying the United States does not seek conflict in the middle east is like saying the Kardashians do not seek attention. It is like saying Jeff Bezos does not seek money. It is like saying the Hamburglar does not seek hamburgers. It is kind of their thing.

The Biden administration has begun its latest bombing campaign in the middle east, reportedly dropping over 125 munitions on more than 85 Iranian and Shia militia targets in Iraq and Syria on Friday.

The mainstream press have been falling all over themselves to describe the strikes as "retaliatory" in nature, framing it as a provoked response to a drone attack which killed three United States troops at a base on the border of Jordan and Syria. Which is a bit odd, given that this supposed "retaliation" is being directed at a nation which the United States government itself admits is not known to have been involved in said drone attack at all.

While United States Central Command says the strikes targeted "Irans Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps (IRGC) Quds Force and affiliated militia groups," the United States has already openly admitted that it has no evidence Iran was behind the drone attack.

On Monday Pentagon spokesperson Sabrina Singh admitted that there was no information showing that Iran had actually ordered or orchestrated the attack, saying only that Iran "bears responsibility" for the strike because it has been supporting such groups in the region. This position was later confirmed by Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin and by President Biden himself.

Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin says "we do not know" how operationally involved Iran was in the January 28 attack that killed three United States troops, "but it really does not matter"-Michael Tracey (mtracey) February 1, 2024

Asked by the press on Thursday how much Iran knew in advance about the drone attack by Iraqi militants, Austin said "we do not know, but it really does not matter because Iran sponsors these groups."

Austin was almost telling the truth. Yes it is true the United States has no knowledge of any Iranian involvement in the deaths of those three United States troops, and yes it is true that it does not matter to the United States whether it did or did not.

But the real reason it "does not matter" has nothing to do with Iran sponsoring militia groups which align with its interests. In reality, "it really does not matter" whether Iran was behind the attack because Iran is the most powerful non-United States-aligned state in the middle east, and for that reason the United States has spent generations seizing every opportunity to harm and subvert it and its interests in the region. This is just one more opportunity for the United States empire to do what it always does in the middle east.

It is a bit odd, then, that the United States president announced the beginning of this new series of airstrikes with a statement which claims "The United States does not seek conflict in the Middle East or anywhere else in the world."

Conflict in the middle east is what the United States empire does. The entire United States empire is held together by endless conflict, especially in resource-rich regions where strategic control is necessary to retain planetary hegemony. The United States empire is conflict.

Today, at my direction, United States military forces struck targets in Iraq and Syria that the IRGC and affiliated militia use to attack United States forces.

We do not seek conflict in the Middle East or anywhere else in the world.

But to all those who seek to do us harm: We will respond.-President Biden (POTUS) February 2, 2024

Saying the United States does not seek conflict in the middle east is like saying the Kardashians do not seek attention. It is like saying Jeff Bezos does not seek money. It is like saying the Hamburglar does not seek hamburgers. It is kind of their thing. To make such a ridiculous claim while actively raining military explosives upon the middle east, in "retaliation" for an attack which the people you are bombing did not even commit, is just extra icing on the cake of ridiculousness.

From Gaza to Iraq to Syria to Iran to Yemen, conflict in the middle east is the United States empires bread and butter.

The most murderous power structure on the planet continually paints itself as a poor little victim of any backlash against its abuses and as an innocent passive witness to the suffering it orchestrates, but nobody who has been involved in that many acts of violence has ever been interested in peace!!
