Here’s The REAL End Game For ISRAEL In Iran! w/ Max Blumenthal (Jimmy Dore)

Jimmy interviews The Grayzone’s Max Blumenthal about how the current Iran conflict feeds the "Greater Israel Project," an expansionist vision held by influential Israeli figures to establish borders between the Nile and Euphrates rivers, encompassing parts of Egypt, Syria, Iraq, and Saudi Arabia including Mecca and Medina.

They argue that this Israeli ambition explains current Middle East dynamics, with the U.S. military being used as a "battering ram" to make Arab Muslim states subservient to Israeli domination. Max notes that even mainstream Israeli opposition figures articulate this biblical vision, and that the Israeli flag itself symbolizes these aspirations with stripes representing the Nile and Euphrates. They conclude that if Israel's campaign against Iran fails, Gulf states will learn the costly lesson that hosting U.S. bases and normalizing relations with Israel is a dangerous liability.



Thoughts: With the Kurds being used in a ground offensive, that will likely fail, and with China, Russia, and probably India, backing Iran, this looks like a dead end gambit - with oil prices going through the roof. The big problem caused by rising oil prices is what will this crisis do to the global debt pool and the bond markets? Interest rates will go up that will bankrupt Governments plus result in unpayable mortgage rates. Usually during war money goes towards safe government bonds, and yields go down, but because debt levels are already high it's not turning out that way. Plus the markets are all rigged, so the results can be anything! They'll stop market crashes, like they always to, and suppress the prices of precious metals that are already high, to keep a handle on this, until they decide not to.
