War

US plans to send troops into Ukraine risks nuclear war with Russia.

"The US soldiers will just be for training, and the number of GI’s  will be modest, claim US military sources. Of course.  Just like those small numbers of American “advisors” and “trainers” in Vietnam that eventually grew to 550,000. Just as there  are now US special forces in over 100 countries. We call it “mission creep.”"

Even if the numbers remained small, it's still an outrageous risk.

Hoping for more US airstrikes on Syria because that helps them against Assad, ISIS credits US airstrikes with ousting them from Syrian town. The US does want ISIS out of Kurdistan because that fits its longtime plan to split Iraq into three parts.

Why would CIA and Mossad agents suddenly admit they killed a Hezbollah leader in Syria in a terrorist-style bombing attack in 2008?

"The United States has never acknowledged participation in the killing of Mughniyah, which Hezbollah blamed on Israel. Until now, there has been little detail about the joint operation by the CIA and Mossad to kill him, how the car bombing was planned or the exact U.S. role. With the exception of the 2011 killing of Osama bin Laden, the mission marked one of the most high-risk covert actions by the United States in recent years.
U.S. involvement in the killing, which was confirmed by five former U.S. intelligence officials, also pushed American legal boundaries.
Mughniyah was targeted in a country where the United States was not at war. Moreover, he was killed in a car bombing, a technique that some legal scholars see as a violation of international laws that proscribe “killing by perfidy” — using treacherous means to kill or wound an enemy."

Is this intended to make Hezbollah threaten the US so our rulers can use them to expand the war in Syria?
