Here is how that might happen:
The U.S. Government is racing the clock to get all its warships into optimal position to defeat Iran, as Israel’s Government prepares to defeat Hezbollah in Lebanon.
America’s aircraft carriers, including the USS Abraham Lincoln, USS Gerald R. Ford, USS Theodore Roosevelt, and USS Georgia, are racing from locations as far away as the Pacific, so as to be ready in time for an expected imminent sudden launch of missiles against Israel by Iran and Hezbollah responding to Israel’s July 30th and 31st assassinations of leaders of Hamas and of Hezbollah.
These U.S. warships carry hundreds of Tomahawk missiles, and numerous stealth F-35s and F-22s, which would presumably be unleashed against Iran immediately if Iran does retaliate against those two assassinations — one of which occurred on Iran’s territory. Iran has promised to retaliate.
On 21 May 2024, National Interest magazine, one of the most respected authorities on war-equipment, headlined “S-400: The Air Defense System That Could Track F-22 and F-35 Fighters: The S-400, a critical part of Russia’s defense, is a sophisticated SAM system capable of detecting advanced aircraft, including America’s stealth fighters, according to many experts.” It reported: “Summary: The S-400, a critical part of Russia’s defense, is a sophisticated SAM system capable of detecting advanced aircraft, including America’s stealth fighters, according to many experts.” It sub-headlined “S-400: It Can Likely See F-35 and F-22 Stealth Fighters.” It is likewise very effective against missiles.
As regards America’s Tomahawk missiles: They are subsonic (i.e., very slow), and here is an interesting story about them from the incident on 7 April 2017, the launch of 59 U.S. Tomahawks by Trump against Syria in response to the fraudulent charge by U.S.-and-allied ‘news’-media that alleged Bashar al-Assad was behind the actually false-flagged Khan Sheykhun 4 April 2017 alleged sarin chemical attack, which was actually staged by the Al-Qaeda in Syria forces that the U.S. itself was (and is) arming in Syria so as to overthrow Assad: Trump needed to appear to his public to be tough against Assad, and was going to fire 59 Tomahawks into Syria as Assad’s ‘punishment’, and needed Putin to not use his S-400s there against those missiles, and offered to Putin a promise that the Tomahawks would do only minimal damage; so, Putin called-off his S-400s, and this deal was done and was honored by both parties to it.
So: if it is actually the case that Biden is sending in these forces that leading experts think likely to fail against S-400s, and if Israel fails to defeat Hezbollah in Lebanon (which also is quite possible if not likely), then what would be the outcome of that?
There has been a battle of wills between Netanyahu, whose career is funded by conservative billionaires, versus Biden, whose career is funded by liberal billionaires, though all billionaires in both U.S. and Israel want Israel to defeat the Palestinians. In this possible scenario, the U.S. regime will be able to say they’ve done the utmost for Israel, even if they’ve failed — but military failure in the United States has been routine ever since the Vietnam War ended in failure in the 1970s, and voters never blamed their nation’s leaders for it, because these were actually wars of choice instead of (as is the case in Russia now) wars of necessity in order to protect the homeland. (The wars by an imperial power seeking to expand — such as America has ben since 1945 — are always wars of choice, because such wars benefit ONLY the nation’s aristocracy, who own the armaments-manufacturers etc., and harm everybody else.) Anyway, Kamala Harris certainly wouldn’t be blamed for losing this war, because the failure wouldn’t be during her own Administration. And as for Biden, this loss would enable him to destroy Netanyahu’s career, and would therefore be a huge win for Biden, even payback for insults that he has endured from him.
And it would, indeed, destroy Netanyahu’s career. It would also greatly harm Israel. But it might be a net benefit for America, no longer to be bearing the huge international PR burden of supporting that blatantly apartheid regime.

Investigative historian Eric Zuesse’s latest book, AMERICA’S EMPIRE OF EVIL: Hitler’s Posthumous Victory, and Why the Social Sciences Need to Change, is about how America took over the world after World War II in order to enslave it to U.S.-and-allied billionaires. Their cartels extract the world’s wealth by control of not only their ‘news’ media but the social ‘sciences’ — duping the public.
