“While the northern conflict currently remains within the boundaries of ‘controlled escalation,’ the prospects of a full-blown war between Hezbollah and Israel may be steadily increasing. Far-right members of the Israeli government, who are key to keeping Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s governing coalition intact, have become noticeably more vocal in supporting escalation on the Lebanese front.”

1. Where Things Presently Stand

The World is on the Brink of Total War.

While it is uncertain what particular sequence will play out to get us all there, it is clear that we are on the cusp of a Nuclear Exchange & are waiting to see how it will manifest soon. If anything, even the ‘Normies’ understand that the DOOM cometh:

The United States of America, that Evil Empire of Lies & Great Satan, has all but ensured that it will be entering the coming War at a grave disadvantage.

Not only will it fight the Sinic, Russian & Islamic worlds simultaneously, but it will also try to do all this ( & more ) while its Industry, Manufacturing & overall Military Prowess are at an all-time low. Yours Truly documented this a while ago:

If there is one front that is likely to ‘Go Hot’ first, it will be West Asia.

‘Israel’ in recent days has all but guaranteed that they seek to expand hostilities with Hezbollah & frens by invading Lebanon. Calling this a catastrophe for the Zionist entity is genuinely the understatement of the year, as Yours Truly noted a while ago:

The bottom line (now, as it was then) is that ‘Israel’ cannot defeat Hezbollah & frens, let alone the Palestinian Joint Operations Room (comprising Hamas & frens). It does not have the Military Muscle nor Strategic Depth to accomplish this.

Invading Lebanon to try & push back Hezbollah & frens across the Litani River would mean that Iran & frens would begin to intervene directly, thereby leading to the Total Defeat of the Zionist Enemy. Already, said enemy is in dire straits:

Yet it is precisely because the Zionist entity is at ‘Death’s Door’ that we now have its sundry War planners putting forward this unprecedented Regional Escalation as a viable stratagem to try & ‘Kill Multiple Birds with a Single Stone.’

The truth is that so long as the War in Gazah remains unresolved, any attempt at opening up the Northern Front with Lebanon will mean unprecedented intervention (direct & indirect) from state & sub-state Resistance Actors.

‘Israel’ knows this. Well, enough ‘Israelis’ in the circles of military leadership & the ‘Elite’ know this to realize that such a thing is an existentially crippling blow to the Zionist Project, sans Western (& particularly, American) patronage.

Such a ploy to draw in the Americans has been known for a while. The American Foreign Policy & Think Tank ‘intelligentsia’ has recognized the danger posed by such an escalation, & some of the sober-minded ones have sought to avoid this outcome.

The problem, of course, is that the ‘Israelis’ are now out of options.

The military has failed to achieve its sundry Strategic Objectives even after over 200 days of fighting in the Gazah Strip. It has nothing to show for its thousands of KIAs & WIA unsanitaries. The public, meanwhile, demands action, results, & Blood.

War with Hezbollah & frens is thus all but inevitable, given the current public sentiment. The invasion of Lebanon is all but ensured…
