Britain is another dog on a leash. Flights currently bombing the middle east are coming from British bases and don't get me started on how half the reconaissance flights over Gaza providing targeting to the Israelis were British flights too.

Our country hides it better but British hands are just as bloody.

I don't doubt British hands are bloody too, not for one second. I know how dirty they are. I'm specifically talking about this instance. Israel have manipulated events.

The US is not doing anything the US doesn't want to be doing. The US is not being controlled by Israel, Israel is shouldering the blame to enable the western empire to crush its opponents. There is a reason they ALL support it, the entire west. Gaza, Iran, Hezbollah, Yemen's houthis, they are the remaining holdouts that have not fallen into line with what the western empire wants, pursuing their own freedom and regional sovereignty.

Same goes for the attack on Venezuela, same goes for the coming attack on Cuba, and same goes for the DPRK, Russia and China to follow.

You must zoom out and look at everything hollistically. These are not individual actions by one nation. They are the actions of an empire without a name collectively bidden by the billionaires and hedgefunds that control it. The primary contradiction in the world today is that of imperialism by this empire against those that resist it and support real sovereignty. This empire aims to have everything, everywhere, under its control. Those that oppose it and seek not to do so are eliminated.

The populations of the west don't support it. But that doesn't matter. The ruling class does.
