The situation in the Middle East is moving in an uncontrollable direction.
The United States launched a fierce retaliation for the attack on US troops and killed them, directly dispatching B-1 bombers to carry out air strikes on dozens of targets in Iraq and Syria.
After the air strikes, the US side also clamored that retaliation would continue.
According to previous reports, the US retaliation will continue for several days.
If it is only a small-scale air strike, it may not cause the situation to deteriorate too quickly for a few days, but the scale of the US air attack is too large, which will inevitably invite retaliation from the other side, which in turn will lead to a spiral of escalation and eventually a large-scale war.
attacked US military bases).
All parties are involuntarily.
According to the global network, the Iraqi militia "Islamic Resistance Group" said that it launched drone and rocket attacks on two US military bases in Syria, and launched rocket attacks on Iraq's al-Assad air base, where US troops are stationed.
This is revenge for US retaliatory measures.
Earlier, a militia group in the Middle East had ordered a moratorium on attacks on American targets.
This was supposed to be a move to ease the situation, and if all parties involved had stopped, the situation in the Middle East would have calmed down completely, but it would never have been filled with gunsmoke.
At the moment, the situation is not completely out of control, but there is a signal that is very dangerous.
The parties involved can control the situation, but the reality will hold them back.
If the US military is dead, it is impossible for the United States not to retaliate, and if the United States retaliates, the situation of the party that is hit will be the same as that of the United States, and it has to retaliate, otherwise how can it convince the public?
The United States can directly stop the strike, and the armed groups in the Middle East can also restrict their subordinates from attacking, but the situation does not allow them to do so, and they can only be coerced to move forward.
The consequences of this chain reaction are very serious, and it is likely that it will unwittingly lead to a full-scale war.

Risks are difficult to control.
During the Russia-Ukraine conflict, although the West has been trying to break through Russia's bottom line, it has also grasped a certain degree to avoid inexplicably triggering a war between Russia and NATO.
Although the situation between Russia and Ukraine was once very tense, there is a basic tacit understanding between NATO and Russia, and the possibility of a major war is not very likely.
However, the situation in the Middle East is different, the Middle East has always been very chaotic, and the United States has a bad track record in the region, which is a very big risk, which means that after some countries and armed forces in the Middle East are attacked, they must cater to the mainstream public opinion and harden the United States.
And there is not much tacit understanding between the United States and these forces, so it is very difficult to control the risks.
Therefore, while the confrontation in the Middle East is not as intense as the Russia-Ukraine conflict, the risks are, to a certain extent, greater than the Russia-Ukraine conflict.
The remains of the US military returned home).
Highlighting the failure of U.S. policy.
The chaos in the Middle East underscores the failure of U.S. Middle East policy.
The United States regards the Middle East as its backyard, and as a result, the US military is being frequently attacked, and there is nothing the United States can do.
The troops were withdrawn and were unwilling to withdraw, and they could not afford to fight if they continued to fight.
The weakness of the United States is well known, that is, it cannot fight a protracted war, and if it really wants to make things bigger, the United States will once again fall into a quagmire from which it will be difficult to extricate itself.
However, the current policy of the United States is not conducive to solving the problem through peaceful means, and it is still adopting a simple and crude military retaliation plan, which shows that the United States has exhausted its skills and can only show its own force, and hopes that the deterrence of force can play a role.
If this process is not done well, it will accelerate the arrival of a large-scale war.
