US Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin revealed today that "Israel" has martyred more than 25,000 Palestinian women and children since October 7.

During a House Armed Services Committee hearing, lawmakers asked Austin about how many women and children have been killed in Gaza to which he replied "It's over 25,000."

According to US Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin, NATO will have to battle Russia next if Ukraine loses the current conflict, as he "really believes" on Thursday.

Austin stated before a House Armed Services Committee hearing, "Quite frankly, I really believe that NATO will be in a fight with Russia if Ukraine falls."

Andrei Kartapolov, the head of the State Duma's Defense Committee, responded to Austin's remarks by telling Sputnik that NATO would end up like Ukraine if they carry on with their aggressive strategy.

"As long as NATO is ruled by the United States, their fate is deplorable and the fate of Ukraine may well await them if they continue their aggressive policy," warned Kartapolov.

The United States is complicit 

A report in The Washington Post on February 22 reveals that 10 percent of the Israeli occupation forces killed since the beginning of the Israeli genocide against Gaza are US citizens, although US nationals only make up less than 2 percent of settlers in occupied Palestine.

The report added that 21 Americans in IOF units were killed in Gaza and one in the occupied northern territories on the border with Lebanon in confrontations with the Islamic Resistance in Lebanon daily. In al-Quds, another American serving under the Israeli occupation police was found dead, leaving the total of dead Americans serving in the IOF at 23. 

As what seems to be a "first in US history," the Biden administration has been sending surveillance drone missions over Gaza since at least early November, allegedly "for hostage recovery by special forces."

Back when the drones were revealed, US Gen. Pat Ryder claimed that the special operations forces are deployed to "Israel" to advise on detainee rescue and not participate in IOF "target development".

Three days after October 7, Joe Biden stated, “I’ve directed my team to share intelligence and deploy additional experts from across the United States government to consult with and advise the Israeli counterparts on hostage recovery efforts."

However, several weeks later, on November 21, the US Air Force sent deployment guidelines for officers, including intelligence engagement officers, headed to occupied Palestine. Experts stated that a team of targeting officers like this would help aid the IOF by giving them satellite intelligence used in the targeting of Palestinians.
