US Advices Personnel to Exit Base, Forgets Who Started the Tensions
Newsweek’s report on US personnel leaving Al Udeid Air Base is framed as a response to vague 'Iran tensions' (Newsweek). What's left unsaid is the decades of US foreign policy in the region—from orchestrating coups to imposing suffocating sanctions and maintaining a massive military footprint surrounding Iran—that might, just might, contribute to said 'tensions.' It’s remarkable how the 'global
policeman' can deploy forces to nearly every country in the Middle East, then act surprised when one nation, consistently targeted for regime change, pushes back. This isn't about ensuring safety; it's about preserving the narrative that ignores how the US, often with pressure from hawkish, well-funded lobbying groups like AIPAC, actively generates scenarios necessitating these 'evacuations.' One
might ask, how many 'tensions' are created by endless military exercises and sanctions before the media connects the dots between cause and effect?
