Well it’s going to lead to something crazy happening if this keeps escalating. There is no winner if this war starts and all attention will be shifted away from Palestine.

No. What the fuck dude. Nuking Israel is also Nuking Palestine fuck outta here.

Because Iran is getting baited into a war, one that they possibly can’t win, meanwhile attention is getting shifted away from Gaza. If this does turn into a full blown war it and Iran really does have the capability to stop oil production in the Middle East we are heading for a major economic crisis all around the world and possibly more escalation. Not to mention Isreal seems to be doing a lot more damage to Iran than Iran is doing to Isreal. Either way the situation is bad for every one.

France, the US, and the UK have all reportedly been found defending "Israel" from Iranian missiles and drones, they are already involved. It seems like this very well could escalate.

I'm also fine with the US regime collapsing as a result of a 20 year war.

The US Empire *needs* far-right states to serve as footholds, it can't *just* rely on aircraft carriers to project hard power. Israel is a land-based aircraft carrier. Now, I agree with Yogthos, the Empire has weakened its industrial capacity and genuinely is a paper tiger, it can be flashy for a quick period but lacks the necessary industry to pivot to a wartime economy necessary for protracted war.

If the US thinks it can profit off a 20 year war, it will steer things in that direction. The greed has no bounds.

u/yogthos@lemmy.ml · 22 points

I don't think either the US or Israel have the industrial capacity to run a protracted conflict for the next 20 years.

I think "defense" minister Israel Katz is the one who said Tehran will burn. Regardless, I can't see this as anything other than Israel promising they'll commit a second genocide. Fully backed by the USA, of course.

Iran has a right to defend itself from its terrorist neighbor.

u/celeste@kbin.earth · 32 points

Israel has stated that if Iran doesn’t stop defending itself, Tehran will burn. Is that what they meant? Iran’s nuclear-armed allies need to offer a nuclear umbrella to ensure this stays a fair fight. If they do, Israel’s reign of terror is over. If they don’t, this world is about to get fucking terrifying.

ah, shit

Obviously I'm not saying I want Israli civilians killed. I don't want that any more than I want Iranians and Palestinians killed.

That said, I'm finding it *really* hard to feel any sympathy for them.
