No Reverse Gear: Biden Only Knows Escalation When It Comes to War
Geopolitical commentator Alex Christoforou coined the phrase “no reverse gear” to describe the foreign policy of the Biden administration and its allies in NATO. The idea is that no matter how many fiascoes and military losses pile up, Biden and his allies won’t step back or use diplomacy to settle differences. Instead, they escalate, spend more money, ship more weapons, get more troops killed, and keep going no matter what.
The warmongers have no reverse gear. That mode of operations is clear from the humiliating withdrawal from Afghanistan in 2021, the escalating war in Ukraine that the U.S. puppets are losing badly, and now the expanding wars in the Middle East involving Israel being attacked by Hamas, Hezbollah, the Houthis, West Bank Palestinians and the Iranians.
Israel is fighting back, but the U.S. is not respected and has no clout when it comes to organizing a cease-fire or any de-escalation of the war itself. No reverse gear.
The latest threat of escalation comes in the wake of the Iranian missile barrage on Israel on Tuesday, October 1. Of course, that barrage came after Israel had decapitated the leadership of both Hezbollah and Hamas along with senior Iranian commanders in a series of precision attacks in Gaza, Tehran and Beirut. And all of this comes after the horrific October 7, 2023, massacre of 1,400 Jews and others in Israel conducted by Hamas.
Biden has indicated that Israeli retaliation for the October 1, 2024 missile attack might include attacks either on Iranian oil refineries or an Iranian nuclear power plant or both. From there, the next stage might be an Iranian effort to close the Straits of Hormuz or Russian involvement that could bring the world to the brink of nuclear war. No reverse gear indeed.
