The US will deploy a THAAD missile defense system battery and additional Patriot battalions in the Middle East - Pentagon chief

Slowly but surely regardless of the narrative the resources to take on Iran are being assembled 10000 US troops just lobbed in Saudi Arabia source- Before its news website
Note to moderators I do not link to social media because I dont know how to, but  I will quote my source if the information is from there.  I will post youtube,bitchute and rumble videos I try to verify my information but have no problem if any post is modified or deleted its not my sandbox.I do value my membership of this little community but realise it is a privilage not a right.This site hopefully remains a bastion of sanity as terminal madness of the western world sets in

Also, in addition to Zam's post, is this statement from Lloyd Austin, if not already posted, struggling to keep up:
— U. S. Department of Defense | Statement From Secretary of Defense Lloyd J. Austin III on Steps to Increase Force Posture | October 21, 2023:
"Following detailed discussions with President Biden on recent escalations by Iran and its proxy forces across the Middle East Region, today I directed a series of additional steps to further strengthen the Department of Defense posture in the region. These steps will bolster regional deterrence efforts, increase force protection for U.S. forces in the region, and assist in the defense of Israel.
First, I redirected the movement of the USS Dwight D. Eisenhower Carrier Strike Group to the Central Command area of responsibility. This carrier strike group is in addition to the USS Gerald R. Ford Carrier Strike Group, which is currently operating in the Eastern Mediterranean Sea. It will further increase our force posture and strengthen our capabilities and ability to respond to a range of contingencies.
I have also activated the deployment of a Terminal High Altitude Area Defense (THAAD) battery as well as additional Patriot battalions to locations throughout the region to increase force protection for U.S. forces."

Israel Threatens Military Attack Against Iran if Hezbollah Joins War with Hamas

October 21st, 2023
In other news, U.S. Sending Additional Air Defense Systems to Middle East:

The U.S. will send a Terminal High Altitude Area Defense (THAAD) system and additional Patriot air defense missile system battalions to the Middle East, the Pentagon said on Saturday, in response to recent attacks on U.S. troops in the region.
The United States has sent a significant amount of naval power to the Middle East in recent weeks, including two aircraft carriers, their support ships and about 2,000 Marines.

As it looks increasingly like this crazy train is headed off the rails, here are a couple of things to let you know a systemic crash is probably imminent. These are low probability but very high impact scenarios:
1) If the Strait of Hormuz somehow winds up closed/blocked.
2) If Saudi Aramco’s deep water port at Ras Tanura somehow winds up closed/destroyed.
If either of these events occur, we could see a global scale oil shock situation.
Via: Daily Mail:
Israel last night vowed to cut off ‘the head of the snake’ and launch a military attack against Iran if Tehran-backed terror group Hezbollah joins the war.

In an exclusive interview with The Mail on Sunday, Nir Barkat, Israel’s Minister of Economy, warned that Iran’s Ayatollahs will be ‘wiped off the face of the earth’ should Hezbollah, their proxy terror group in Lebanon, attack Israel.

His incendiary comments raise the grave spectre of a rapidly escalating regional conflict and come ahead of an expected Israeli ground invasion of the Gaza Strip to ‘annihilate’ Hamas.

============

the THAAD system is strictly designed for 'high altitude' ballistic threat... aka ICBM type ballistics is what it was designed for.
it is 'useless' against ANY threats INSIDE a 50 mile envelope.
aka: it's like a boxer who can only throw hooks (and no jabs)... all you gotta do is step 'inside' and he's defenseless.
cruise missiles and steerable (non ballistic) and hypersonics render the THAAD useless.
Iran has all three... and they've already said (if attacked) they will close the strait and take out Saudi oil production.
the Patriot and AGEIS systems are designed to throw the 'jabs'.

From the article 

http://clients.intertech.ps/dci/en/Article/853/Middle-East-Monitor-Christian-Zionism---The-New-Heresy-that-Undermines-Middle-East-Peace-(By-Revd-Dr-Stephen-Sizer)

"Burgeoning Christian Zionist organizations such as the International Christian Embassy (ICEJ), Christian Friends of Israel (CFI) and Christians United for Israel (CUFI) wield considerable influence on Capitol Hill, claiming a support base in excess of 50 million true believers. This means there are now at least ten times as many Christian Zionists as Jewish Zionists. And their European cousins are no less active in the Zionist Hasbarafia, lobbying for Israel, attacking its critics and thwarting the peace process. The United States and Israel are often portrayed as Siamese twins, joined at the heart, sharing common historic, religious and political values."

**at least ten times as many Christian Zionists as Jewish Zionists**

And now tell me who is behind that all when the whole thing started with Christian Zionists.

where an additional 248 Palestinians have been killed in the past 24 hours. This brings the toll to 4,385 Palestinians killed, with 62 per cent being children and women. More than 1,000 people Palestinians have been reported missing and are presumed to be trapped or dead under the rubble.

At least 42% of all housing in the Gaza Strip have been either destroyed or damaged.

About 1.4 million internally displaced people are estimated in Gaza, with nearly 566,000 sheltering in 148 UNRWA-designated emergency shelters in increasingly dire conditions. There are reports of displaced families returning to northern Gaza due to ongoing bombardments and an inability to meet basic needs in the south.

The picture of the Vietnamese girl won the Pulitzer Prize–winning photograph, titled "The Terror of War". The Palestinian girl will be ignored by all Western media.

Additionally, two residential buildings were hit in the Deir al Balah area, killing two entire families and resulting in 46 people killed. In the Rafah area, one residential building was hit, resulting in 16 people killed, including six women and three children. In Gaza city, a seven-story building was destroyed by airstrikes resulting in at least 13 fatalities.

About 100 unidentified bodies were buried on 15 October in a mass grave in Rafah. About 43 unidentified bodies were buried in a mass grave in Gaza city on 21 October, due to the lack of refrigerated space to store them until recognition procedures are conducted.

According to the MoH in Gaza, as of 21 October, 98 Palestinian families had lost ten or more of their members; 95 Palestinian families had lost 6 to 9 members; and 357 families had lost two to five of their members.

Netanyahu's own Western backers begging him to delay (https://t.me/IntelRepublic/29540) only adds to existing embarrassment, canceling meeting with Macron to signal that trust me bro, I'm going to do it.

https://t.me/Middle_East_Spectator/2675

1. How do you 'accidentally' fire a tank?
2. Why was your tank turret aimed at the Egyptian outpost?

— / BREAKING: Egyptian casualties reportedly rose to 9, with critically injured among them, according to initial information


5min ago...
Regarding the IDF tank that targeted the Egyptian post.

There are several theories that I'm seeing around, and I would like to state them for the sake of honesty.

1- Israel purposefully targeted it with the permission of Israeli high command, to either

1) See how the Egyptians would react to a slight escalation, in case Israel wishes to evict the Gazans purposefully across to Sinai

2) Drag Egypt into a war, considering Egypt is the only neighbor of Israel that has the manpower, equipment, and experience to fight a prolonged conventional, therefore solidifying American presence and forcing America to the war to protect Israel, a "New U.S.S Liberty" per say

2- The Israeli tank crew did this on their own perogative, three Israeli tourists were shot dead by an Egyptian Conscript in the Police, and before that three IDF soldiers were killed by an Egyptian soldier, therefore their emotions most likely were running high and did this independently.

3- The Israelis are trying to close the Rafah border crossing, and this was a message

The one thing of interest I would note is that suddenly, most of the opposition that was complaining that Egypt is being dragged into a war and that we should not mobilize more than the second and third army are now calling for war, fifth column or lowlifes? Beats me.

A response must be enacted, it may be of a military, political, or economic nature, who knows.
