The military prepares for all sorts of possibilities all the time, doesn’t mean any of them will actually come to pass. Why post this?
Because Israel is planning an invasion of Rafah and it looks like US is planning to provide support for it.
This is from January, at this point they must be pretty prepared.
This is the best summary I could come up with:
While the documents do not suggest that U.S. military ground involvement in the war is forthcoming, the January memo is the latest intimation of the Pentagon’s preparations to support Israel in the wake of Hamas’s October 7 attack.
Two days after Kirby’s remarks, the White House inadvertently shared a picture of President Joe Biden in Israel posing alongside members of the secretive U.S. special operations units, before quickly deleting it.
The documents obtained by The Intercept provide a stark reminder of the pervasive U.S. military presence in the Middle East, with personnel deployed to theaters where many Americans think the mission ended long ago — and how quickly those orders can be repurposed for new conflicts.
The deployments are “part of a comprehensive strategy to defeat ISIS,” the White House informed Congress in December, “to limit the potential for resurgence of these groups and to mitigate threats to the United States homeland.”
A grim reminder of the longevity of the anti-ISIS deployment emerged Sunday, when three American soldiers were killed in a drone attack on a secret U.S. base in Jordan, near the border of Syria.
A senior official from an alliance of Iraqi militia groups claiming credit for the attack tied it to U.S. support for Israel in its Gaza war, as The Intercept previously reported.

Death to America, Death to Israel
Flatten Palestine 🇦🇪🇦🇪🇦🇪🇦🇪
You are supporting a genocide.
Not really lmao I’m just pissing that guy off
Removed by mod
Not really lmao, you’re just a pathetic idiot
Weird choice to post an article from 4 months ago here like this. Interesting timing too.
Almost like you did it for a reason.
And I guess you’re just asking questions??
Not every act is a sign of somebody having an agenda or whatever…
You’re right, it’s so weird to talk about US troops being ready to join in on the genocide as Israel threatens to go into Rafah. You really got me there!
Listen, I’m no Zionist. I recognize that there is a genocide going on in Gaza against innocent Palestinian citizens. I just think it’s kind of a weird choice.
I ran across the article, seemed relevant so I posted it, there’s really not much more to it to be honest
People don’t usually post 4 month old articles to news communities. That is why it’s weird.
Maybe they should. A well-written and edited article is still going to be valid and provide needed contex for months. Cable news has fooled us into thinking that if something was written more than an hour ago, we can safely ignore it.
You’re worshipping the 24 hour news cycle instead of actually understanding current geopolitics
I feel like I’m taking crazy pills. Let’s make a community called /c/FourMonthOldNews where you, and at least one other, can post old news articles.
You’re worshipping the 24 hour news cycle instead of actually understanding current geopolitics.
Your assumption is way off base. I worship nothing. I try to read reputable sources, though have been known to be lazy and not do that.
It’s an ongoing genocide last I checked, and this news from 4 months ago is highly relevant to what’s happening right now.
I don’t think that you understand what we are trying to say. This community is for current world news. As in, current articles. An old article being related to current events is not what belongs in worldnews.
🤷
Help I’m desperately clutching at straws!
- you who routinely gets outted as a propaganda pusher who also can’t even talk about Tiananmen Square
You lost the argument with this one chief
What propaganda have I’ve been outed pushing, be specific. Meanwhile, sure let’s talk about your failed color revolution https://redsails.org/another-view-of-tiananmen/
gotta love how upset libs get when exposed to anything outside their bubble
Why isn’t that in the sidebar, then?
You’re right, but let us use our heads for a moment:
When someone hears worldnews, they think current articles, not potentially outdated articles.
This article belonged on worldnews four months ago.
I think old news can become news again when new developments occur.
What I’ll give you is that OP should have included those new developments in the body of the link, so that this conversation wouldn’t have to happen down in the comment section. I don’t think they were wrong to post it without that context, but it would have avoided our bickering.
