As U.S. and Israeli strikes on Iran escalate, billions flow into conflict while Australia backs the alliance without question, writesMax Gross.

I RECENTLY WROTE that the world was clearly reaching some sort of horrific tipping point.

And so it did.

As planned, rogue state Israel began bombing Iran, and its U.S. accomplice soon followed.

Australias spineless Prime Minister immediatelydeclared his supportfor the illegal attacks,sayingthe Iranian regime has been a destabilising force for decades.

What does Albanese think Israel is? What does he think the U.S. President is?

Decades of deference to Israel and the U.S. have shaped Australias foreign policy at a high moral cost.

No doubt the U.S. spy basesPine GapandNorth West Capein Australia were involved in the attacks, providing intel and targeting coordinates, despite Foreign MinisterPenny Wong's abjectdenials.

So far, the Israeli and U.S. missiles and bombs have liberated hundreds of brave Iranian people from life, including more than 100 kids killed when missiles struck two schools.

Naturally, Iran has retaliated, spooking the Chosen Ones and spoiling the lamestream media narrative. A key U.S.-operated early warning radar system stationed in Qatar, worth about US$1 billion (AU$1.4 billion), is among Iran'ssuccessful strikes.

Obviously, Israel and all U.S. military bases and its interests in the region are now legitimate targets.

Let's recap, shall we?

In 2018, to spite former PresidentObama,Donald Trumpscrapped the2015 nuclear dealthat the USA and others had with Iran, which included no Iranian development of nuclear weapons as well as regular U.N. inspections of Irans nuclear energy facilities.

Bored with peace, Trump recently ordered the largest military buildup in the Middle East since the 2003 U.S.invasion of Iraq, parking the U.S. Navy in the Arabian Sea and threatening war unless Iran agreed to a nuclear deal that he himself had broken.

And all this just to distract from releasing the notoriousEpstein filesunredacted and in full? Or is it just to gee-up Israels territorial objectives so that the Trump Crime Syndicate can make a motza building aGaza Rivieraon top of a mass grave?

But how can the U.S. Navy fight when its guys and gals cant evenrelieve themselves?

And theresanother problem:

Uh oh! Not enough bang-bang for their buck-buck? Has Trump finally bitten off more than he can chew-chew?

In an apparent bid to appease Israel ahead of a promised Palestinian statehood declaration, the Albanese Government has expelled Iranian diplomats over questionable intelligence claims.

Israeli Prime Minister BenjaminBibi the ButcherNetanyahuseems to think so. HefledIsrael and is reportedly hiding out in either Greece or Germany. Yes, Germany. Oh, the irony. He did arunnerin June last year, too, after bombing Iran. What an bermensch!

Adding to Trump's big spend on Bibi's behalf, U.S. Air Force deployments against Iran include E-3 Sentry Airborne Warning and Control System (AWACS) aircraft, F-35 stealth strike fighters and F-22 air superiority jets, alongside F-15s and F-16s. So far, this vast, belligerent military farce has cost the U.S. taxpayer more than US$500 million (AU$708 million), with a daily cost of up to US$40 million (AU$56.6 million) just for carrier groups and heavy airlift operations.

And that was before a single shot had been fired at a single Mullah in Tehran.

The U.S. has also gifted at least US$21.7 billion (AU$30.7 billion) on bombs, guns and bullets to Israel since the Gaza prison breakout on7 October 2023, with total U.S. military expenditure there blowing out to around US$34 billion (AU$48 billion). Just so Israel can continue its genocidal rampage.

Now thats what I call a special relationship.

Helpless Israel is the largest cumulative recipient of U.S. foreign aid. Currently, the annual donation bleeds out at US$3.8 billion (AU$5.3 billion).

According to that fount of online wisdom,Factually:

I sure hope Americans appreciate the sacrifice they are making for Israelsexpansionism, especially when they cant afford a roof over their heads or life-saving surgery or get hauled off to a gulag or get shot in the face by one of TrumpsI.C.E.Gestapo.

So, yeah, lets all give a loud cheer forAmerica Firstas the USA continues to prop up ZioNazism.
