This Is the Real Reason the United States Is Entering the War - JFeed

The Real Story of the October 7 War - Now reaching its peak and entering Its 20th Month, Is Israel’s Remarkable Role in Expelling Russia from the Middle East.

While global attention remains focused on Hezbollah, Hamas, Iran, Yemen, Syria, and the tectonic shifts Israel has triggered across the region, the deeper strategic transformation is being overlooked: the steady dismantling of Russia’s presence in the Middle East.

As is well known, Russia re-entered the Middle East following the Arab Spring of 2011. Gradually and methodically, it established footholds and alliances across the region, anchored in a strategic partnership with Syria, Iran and their proxies - both conventional players, and in Syria’s case, also non-conventional.

In 2014, the collapse of the Obama-Kerry red-line ultimatum to Assad paved the way for an even deeper Russian entrenchment. Since then, Russia has maintained continuous naval presence in the Mediterranean, along the Syria-Iraq border corridor, and in strategic areas of Iran, Yemen, and the Horn of Africa.

Russia’s reentry into the Middle East, while far less formidable than the reach of the former Soviet Union, has reignited a Cold War-style divide reminiscent of the 1950s and ’60s, when regional powers aligned themselves with either Moscow or Washington. During that era, nations such as Libya, Algeria, Syria, Yemen, and Egypt gravitated toward Soviet influence, while Israel, Saudi Arabia, Jordan, and Pre-revolutionary Iran aligned with the United States.

Today, however, a new layer has been added to the old rivalry: China’s expanding economic and logistical footprint in the region has emerged as a distinctly anti-American force, reshaping the strategic landscape and challenging the balance of power.

But the real turning point is this: through the collapse of the Assad regime, the dismantling of Hezbollah, and now the real possibility of toppling the Iranian theocracy, Israel is delivering to the United States something that Ukraine, Germany, South Korea, or even Taiwan cannot achieve at this stage - a decisive defeat of one of the three global powers (Russia) in a critical geostrategic theater.

And the advantages of deeper involvement are clear.

Iran is on the verge of collapse. Hundreds of billions in Chinese investments may be wiped out. The U.S. stands to gain access to new markets and halt the eastward expansion axis connecting China, Pakistan, and Iran to the mediterranean - a corridor that threatens America’s own southern axis built around India, Saudi Arabia, and Israel.

Add to that:

  • The minimal risk to the U.S. at this stage if it chooses military involvement
  • The ineffectiveness of diplomacy at the current phase
  • And the political boldness of President Trump, who is unlikely to be restrained by domestic opposition

    • The path is becoming clear: a strategic defeat for the China-Russia alliance in the Middle East is within reach - and may soon be completed.

    Israel? Grow up - that’s just the sideshow.
