US-Israel Evacuation: A Rehearsal for War, Another Chapter of Imperial Overreach
When the United States pulls its diplomatic staff from a volatile region, the world should take notice. This latest move, ostensibly for safety, echoes similar strategic repositioning seen before major military operations.
