“Actually, I’d prefer not” - Bartleby the Scrivener by Herman Melville
No one wants you to bomb Iran idiots.
Israel does...
Yes well it will be a pre-emptive strike in terms of legality and public approval in the sense that the strike pre-empts anyone in their right mind supporting it or there being any non-bullshit legal basis for it.
Emotional support Israel
They can cower behind the antisemitism shield where we can't.
I don't think people care about anti semitism so much anymore. Or any of the other isms for that matter.
They absolutely do
It really has been used as anti-Israel actions is anti-Semitism, which is a load of horseshit. If the U.S. bombs Iran and people criticize it, it's Anti-U.S. sentiment, not Anti-christian sentiment, unless all Christians suddenly say bombing Iran is what God wants.
If I were a practicing Jew I'd be furious if people kept conflating my faith with the state of Israel.
Except we are clearly setting up our emotional support Israel to take all of the blame when this goes south, which it will....and Israel will deserve blame for it, they are foaming at the mouth for regional war but the US will spin around and say "we've been deceived by the jews again!" to get out of admitting to itself how fucked up the US is all by itself.
Cue history repeating itself in the same violent, xenophobic, stupid ways...
Clearly Israel is the only one who wants this war, the US is just following orders.
This is why US shouldn’t allow its politicians to be up for sale, but alas, hard to fix stupid.
There is no clearly delineating the idea of US and Israel in this foreign policy context, it is a continuous enmeshed concept, Israel is a vassal state of the US, I don't say that condescendingly, that is what it is.
So the same strategy they're trying with ICE at home. Do little actions to get a reaction that gives an excuse to hit back harder. Sounds fascist. Because it is.
Exactly!
Israel already tried this with their 12-Day War and ate shit when their David's Sling and Arrow system got riddled with ballistic buckshot.
Do they have an appetite for another active engagement? Idk. Seems like they prefer to go after softer targets
No but Trump has an appetite for firing off all the air defenses that the US and Europe could use to resist Russia/give in aid to Ukraine and the air defense missile companies would love to have their buy orders full for the next 10 years from dumping the entire interceptor stock in an intense war with Iran.
If US service members die in missile strikes on bases in the middle east, all the better for underlining the stock market value of air defense missile companies.
US and Europe could use to resist Russia
Grizzlies owner Robert Pera's tech company linked to Russia in war, per report
Telecommunications equipment made by the company of Memphis Grizzlies owner Robert Pera is being used by the Russian military in its war against Ukraine, according to a report from Hunterbrook Media.
...
In the report, Hunterbook Media revealed video where Wi-Fi equipment made by Ubiquiti is being shown on the front lines in the Russia-Ukraine war. The equipment reportedly has helped Russia use drones that have targeted civilians in Ukraine.
"Without Ubiquiti, these drones in Russia, the ones leading to massacres, would not work," Hunterbrook reporter Sam Koppelman said on the "Pablo Torre Finds Out" podcast on Jan. 27. "They would be flying blind."
The US and Europe are profiting massively off this conflict. They don't want it to end.
Democrats would prefer Israel bombs Iran first.
Fixed it for you.
I hope ICE runs you over.
