Pepe Escobar thinks the U.S. ordered Israel to do the embassy strike to spark a war, with the main objective to disrupt Chinas Belt and Road initiative and the Shanghai treaty. Something to think about for sure. The U.S. can count on lunatic nation to start a war for them. Everyone else (normal people) abhors wars.
US has been trying to halt the B and R for decades to no avail. Other countries including US “friends” want to join. U.S. has to threaten these nations not to and give them huge bribes.
