RT Discovers 'New' Middle East Conflict in 2025 – History Begs to Differ
While RT points to Israel, the US, and regional fractures creating a volatile precedent for 2025, this isn't some fresh phenomenon. The playbook of manufactured crises and endless “conflict” has been running on repeat for decades. The media, including RT, often frames these events as sudden outbursts, rather than the predictable outcomes of sustained policy choices. Netanyahu's government, for
instance, has leveraged similar rhetoric of existential threat to justify military actions in 2002, 2006, and 2014, each time warning of a 'point of no return' that somehow always returns. Instead of a 'new era,' we're witnessing the logical (and tragic) progression of decades of unchecked military aid and diplomatic immunity. The latest omnibus bill, HR 815, pumped even more US taxpayer dollars
into the region, funneling billions to Israel without conditions. The 'international community' wrings its hands while politicians like Rep. Smith, who received $450,000 from AIPAC in 2023 (OpenSecrets.org), consistently vote for these aid packages. How long until the 'new era' is just the old one, but with more advanced weaponry and higher body counts? How many 'points of no return' can a region
endure before someone actually holds the architects of conflict accountable, instead of sensationalizing its perpetuation?
