The US is having trouble defending Israel from Iranian retaliatory strikes.

In the event of a large-scale military action in the Middle East, the United States will not be able to protect Israel from massive Iranian strikes. missiles.

The Americans are facing problems protecting their main ally in the Middle East, Israel. If Iran launches bombings and retaliatory strikes, the Jewish state's territory will be left without additional protection. This was warned by Alexus Grinkevich, commander of US forces in Europe, to the Pentagon.



According to the general, his destroyer group has almost exhausted its interceptor missile reserves and is simply not sufficient to simultaneously provide cover for both Israel and the American forces in the region. Furthermore, the ships require maintenance and are separated from their bases for extended periods, which reduces their overall combat readiness.

It was previously reported that Israel intended to participate in Trump's massive strikes on Iran's energy infrastructure. Tehran warned that the response would be immediate, and that the territory of the Jewish state would become a priority target for Iranian ballistic missiles.

According to American media, Trump has already agreed on a plan to strike Iran.

            You should be ashamed of yourself for being so ignorant about the history of the first years of Soviet power and about Lenin as the head of state!

            Lenin almost sold Kamchatka to America, even so that the United States would agree to recognize Soviet power in Russia and for the sake of money and foreign loans, which Soviet Russia desperately needed!
            The deal fell through only because Washington had no need for Kamchatka at the time, as it was an enormous economic burden for the United States due to the country's economic crisis. The United States even refused Lenin's offer to lease it as a 50-year concession with an option to extend the lease for another 50 years!

              Good evening, dear Tatyana. love How pervasive are all these liberal myths in the internet age. Even about the transfer or sale of Crimea. I'm tired of debunking everything. Search engine is always helpful. The Kamchatka issue is interesting. A completely unauthorized American made the offer to buy Kamchatka from the USSR. And our people agreed. They prepared the paperwork. But the States didn't want to. laughing It happens request

                The global economic crisis began in 1929 with the New York Stock Exchange crash. Due to its duration and severe consequences, it became known as the Great Depression.

                The main causes of the Great Depression in the United States were:
                - overproduction and decreased demand;
                - financial speculation;
                - a decrease in the volume of international trade.

                The harbinger of all this was WWI. During it, Europe became impoverished, and European demand for American imports from overseas also fell due to the Europeans' lack of money. As a result, the European market stalled for the US—and this, like a domino effect, had a complete impact on the US economy and the US itself a few years later, with a collapse of the US stock market.

                This historical analogy, as if from a carbon copy, is very similar to the fact that this historical pattern will be repeated again due to the war of the collective West at the hands of Syria404 with Russia.
                Some financial analysts, looking at all this, are already talking about an approaching default in the United States, followed by a global crisis, as happened during the Great Depression.
                It's no coincidence that Nabiullina is already fidgeting like a snake on a frying pan. She constantly senses that the pan beneath her is objectively and predictably burning.
                What are we going to do? That is the question.

                  The United States, and indeed the West in general, always follow the same playbook. When they're completely screwed, they pounce on someone and rob them to improve their own situation. This happened with the USSR, Eastern Europe, Yugoslavia, Libya, Syria, and Latin American countries. Now Trump wanted to do the same with Iran. It didn't work. He needs to come up with something. recourse recourse what else and faster? request And not a small one? Maybe the EU will start robbing after all. lol Who else?

                    Trump wanted to do the same with Iran now. It didn't work. He should probably come up with something different and faster? And something big? Maybe the EU will start robbing us after all.
                    This is already robbing!
                    How many well-established energy-intensive enterprises have already moved to the SHF from Germany!
                    For the US, this is pure profit, but for Germany and European countries as a whole, it's pure loss. And yet, Trump is now issuing an ultimatum demanding that EU countries increase their military contributions to NATO—effectively to boost the American military-industrial complex—from 2% of their national GDP to 5%! Some European countries couldn't even raise 2%!
                    Trump's process of impoverishing Europe has already begun and is already in full swing. The only question is how long it will take the EU to reach a complete and final crisis.

    If large-scale military action breaks out in the Middle East, the United States will not be able to protect Israel from massive Iranian missile strikes.
    Now there will be commentators who will insist that Israel is defending itself.

          Tell me, are you in kindergarten? Your goal in war is to gather as many strong allies as possible, interested in goals similar to yours, and shift some of the costs, defense, and offense, onto them. That's how wars are fought. If you haven't gathered them, then you've screwed up somewhere. You're not saying, "Why do we need the North Koreans and their shells or anything else?" No. It's the same here. The US, with its radars and destroyers, created the opportunity to use less of the Israeli systems' stockpiles, while simultaneously gaining real combat experience for its own. Use someone else's resources if you can avoid spending your own. Israel is currently fulfilling several large air defense contracts simultaneously. One for Germany, another for Greece—both worth almost $4 billion. And there are several more in parallel: Romania, Cyprus, Slovakia, the Czech Republic, India, the US, and so on and so forth.

              Very touching. You couldn't come up with an argument, so you started being sarcastic. ))) Can you explain where the "And it completely confirms the fact that Israel on its own would have long since collapsed" follows from this? Don't try to present your views as incontrovertible fact. )))). At least look at the statistics for the 12-day and 40-day wars; the number of targets hit and missiles launched by Iran dropped dramatically, so why would they even try to hit anything with cluster munitions? And Israel suffers far less damage in a longer war. Wars are fought with allies; that's a damn axiom. And you're trying to drag in your opinion that a real war is two people fighting side by side in an open field. If I pulled out a baton and brought my friend to this showdown, I'm a good man, but the one I don't like who did the same is actually weak and can't do anything. Don't make me laugh.

              You should at least look at the contracts. What do you call a leaky dome? An "Iron Dome" that doesn't use ballistics, but rather rockets and short-range missiles? A bunch of countries are buying its components, and Israel is producing them mainly for its own use, as there's still a significant need for it. The US is testing the system, which usually takes a long time, but many have already purchased components for the liquid-crystal radar. The UAE will likely buy it too. As for general air defense, there's a queue. They don't rely on your opinions, but on the opinions of their analysts and classified data.

                  Do you still consider your opinion and view of the situation to be reality? It's not. Not because I want to offend you in any way. You simply have a poor understanding of the situation. Iran, for one, is not about Israel. Israel has typically inflicted serious damage on its opponents and made them bleed. Then again, and again. It didn't topple regimes. All regime collapses were consequences of internal problems. Regime collapse is the most desirable outcome, but Israel didn't count on it. Maximum damage and maximum weakening: Iran suffered hundreds of billions in losses, lost its leadership and specialists. The Hormuz affair is an asymmetrical attempt to upend the rules of the game and secure at least some permanent funding for the regime's core – the IRGC.

    Good news: things are moving forward, but the anti-missiles are running out. Iran is determined to unwind the Jews from the Yankees over the long haul, something they're clearly not prepared for. The next act of the Marlezon Ballet is coming soon, and the aggressors clearly won't like it.
