A former assistant secretary of state under Colin Powell is warning that, "The world is edging toward a major war."
It's because of the "18,000 rockets" that terrorist Hamas has launched against Israel in the last week or so.
"That is not an accident. It is provocation," Robert Charles, who served in the White House for Ronald Reagan and George H.W. Bush, wrote at Real Clear Defense.
Charles is a 10-year naval intelligence officer, an author of multiple books and a spokesman for the Association of Mature American Citizens.
"The only question is – who pushed that button? Knowing Israel defends itself, who wants conflict? Candidates are several. Implications are profound, identifiable, and dangerous."
He said it is larger than, as the legacy media has suggested, just a resurgent conflict between Palestinians and Israel.
"Gaza, controlled by Hamas since the 2007 coup, is the source of the missiles, Hamas and Palestinian Islamic Jihad claiming credit. But to stop there is naïve. The source of this attack is the confluence of other moving parts – geopolitical influences that need to be candidly confronted by the Biden administration."
And there is China's agenda, which already is expressing itself in the Middle East.
China recognizes that if the U.S. is engaged in a defense of Israel, it could view that as the perfect moment to "overrun Taiwan."
