The current Israeli incursion into Lebanon seems to be no more than an orchestrated set-up to allow for the preposition of forces prior to the next stage of the game.
This preposition of forces may be to allow UN forces to patrol southern Lebanon or to allow Russian forces into Lebanon.
In either case, the buildup of US power and influence in the Mideast seems determined, persistent and on-track. Now the US itself may decide to preposition troops in southern Lebanon as it already does along the border of Egypt and Israel.
The de facto US occupation of the Mideast seems on course. Is this designed to encourage a Chinese military strike in future years? We shall see.
More later.
