6:15Now PlayingThe Grayzone reporter Max Blumenthal joins Jimmy to discuss a Wall Street Journal report revealing that Israel built a secret military base in Iraq's western desert—with US knowledge—to support its campaign against Iran, and that when Iraqi troops moved to investigate, Israeli airstrikes killed one soldier and wounded two others to keep the base hidden. He notes that the Israeli Air Force chief hinted at "special missions which could ignite the imagination," and that the two blue lines on the Israeli flag originally represented the Nile and Euphrates rivers, which were the proposed borders for the original "Greater Israel" project under the Jewish National Fund plan.
Max warns that Israel is now openly preparing for war on Turkey, a NATO state, and that this base on the Euphrates signals that Israel seeks to "physically conquer an entire region deep into Eurasia." He concludes that the US is legally bound to maintain Israel's "qualitative military edge" over any regional rival, meaning American taxpayers will continue to foot the bill for Israeli expansionism, and that Iraq will be blamed for any blowback.
