Just why the pretense? They are doing nothing to achieve any ceasefire. Well, we know why: 1. There is a presidential election on so supporting wars that kill tens of thousands of civilians may not be a good look with their voters; 2. They don’t want to anger Arab countries too much.

It’s still a lot less than Biden & Co. have spent on their war in Ukraine that began under the Obama administration. But while the loot that awaits the DNC pillagers in Ukraine is obvious, is the US ‘aircraft carrier’ in the Middle East really worth that much?
