Researcher REVEALS Secrets of US Deep State Politics | Dr. Aaron Good

Escalation: US-Israel Provoking The Next Phase of the War | David T. Pyne
Barely able to supply its troops in the region or keeping them out of harms way, the US has struck again sites in Iran and Israel has been escalating the war against Lebanon.

Is there any reason to believe this

NATO's proxy war in Ukraine is morphing into a direct EU-Russia war. And the war hawks in Brussels are further escalating by attacking civilians in the Donbas and Russia proper.
