The conflict in the Middle East has taken a dangerous turn as concerns over the possibility of an Armageddon scenario grow. Former Pentagon advisor Colonel Douglas McGregor has warned that the decisions made by the United States regarding Israel could have catastrophic consequences. McGregor took to social media to express his concerns, stating that US President Joe Biden has assured Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu of military support in the event of an attack by Hezbollah in the north. However, McGregor argues that if the conflict escalates and additional countries like Iran, Turkey, and Pakistan get involved, the US may not have sufficient military power to support Israel effectively.
This warning comes as former US Marine Corps intelligence officer Scott Ritter raises questions about the denial of the nuclear threat. Ritter criticizes former House Representative Adam Kinzinger for downplaying the potential danger. According to Ritter, effective arms control is crucial in avoiding a nuclear Armageddon.
Meanwhile, Israel’s far-right Minister of National Security, Ben-Gvir, has taken a hardline stance on the ongoing conflict. He insists that only “hundreds of tons of explosives” should be sent to Gaza until the release of civilian hostages, rejecting any humanitarian aid.
As tensions rise and the possibility of a full-scale conflict looms, the international community watches closely. The situation in the Middle East continues to be a matter of great concern, with the potential for dire consequences if diplomatic efforts fail. The world holds its breath, hoping for a peaceful resolution to prevent the worst-case scenario from becoming a reality.
