Former US Colonel Douglas McGregor said that the US foreign policy aimed at supporting the Israeli regime is dangerous, at the moment it provokes war.
“How can a ceasefire-focused mediation be successful if one side kills the other side’s chief negotiator? The answer is simple – it can’t. I think this is not an accident, because I don’t see much evidence of any interest of [Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin] Netanyahu and his government in peace,” he said.
He said Israel intends to capitalise on its strategic advantage, which it will gain through US support.
He also suggested that the Israel Defence Forces (IDF) is now preparing to launch decisive strikes that will help advance ground forces in South Lebanon. In this situation, he said, the Jewish state could use tactical nuclear weapons.
“Netanyahu travelled to Washington to seek US support in case he is drawn into a war with Hezbollah and Iran. I don’t know the details, but I believe he got it. We are ready to strike in support of the army of Israel,” he said.
Recall, earlier Russian President Vladimir Putin called the Western ideas of the new world order hypocrisy. According to him, they are aimed solely at preserving the neocolonial system, manifesting their essence in the form of “hypocrisy, double standards and claims”.
