Previous guy would've given Putin a handy while he invaded Ukraine and would now be sending US troops to die in Iran on Netanyahu's behalf. Hell, he tried to start a war against Iran AFTER losing the 2020 election.
You can't prove any of this.
Of course a braindead neocon would believe that GWB 2.0 could make everything better though.
The funny thing about serving in a warzone is that it tends to make you vehemently anti-war. But you wouldn't know anything about that, son.

Yeah but you're a Trump supporter who believes the 2020 election was stolen from him so you're not someone to take seriously or be respectful towards.
Non sequitur. Typical that your smooth brain can't refute anything that I say.
He's also completely ignoring what Rapist Donald Trump said he'd do to Gaza if he were in charge.
I'm going by what he did and didn't do while in office. He didn't start any new wars. And that pisses you off to no end.

I see the leftist warmongers completely ignored my comment about funding both sides of these two wars because they know I'm right.

Okay guys back to Iran and Israel please

Estimates are that shooting down all of those drones and missiles cost about $1 billion USD

Saudi Arabia has also accused Iran of instigating the Gaza war to interfere with normalization of relations with Israel in the ME

Should just let them land in order to save all that money.

He said she said. At this point anything will be said to justify meddling into the war.

If I had to guess the damage from hundreds of explosions to infrastructure and people would have cost more than $1 billion usd

I'm gonna go against the grain and say it was a performative retaliation, just for show.
Wouldn't say it's against the grain, everyone seems to be saying that

I would call that the mainstream view at this point

The attack was announced, time was given for allies to put units in place to intercept nearly everything

After it was over and no damage done Iran said they would take no further action

On top of all that Iran played fake footage on TV for their domestic audience all night - and one video was even found to be of Texas wildfires but sold as "Israel in flames"

this war will never end until a third party steps in to nuke both sides. I wish it'd happen sooner than later, as it's gone on for long enough. Since the 1970's, right?

What war are we talking about? I don't think Iran is openly at war with anybody

It's all been proxy BS for years until this drone/missile attack

War will end when war becomes unprofitable or the citizens unite and say "no more". The US and NATO are funding both sides of the Russia/Ukraine war and the US is funding both sides of the Israel/Hamas/Iran war.

This supposed war between Iran and Israel is something that's been latent since what... 1980? If not prior?

Iran even advised other countries to NOT interfere with his attack.
Jordania had the time to actually prepare, and I wonder if Israel would be in another state right now if Iran didn't announced the attack.

Remember, this conflict between Iran and Israel didn't happened in one night, not even in a weekend. Again, it's been decades with a potential attack between the two and other countries of the Islamic state against Israel.

Now though, we have yet to see how Israel will respond to Iran. As of now, Iran got nearly everything intercepted by Israel allies. How does that make Iran look?

Like they're not prepared against a real war between them and Israel, and Iran's allies haven't pronounced anything at all, and it's very unlikely to go help Iran. As a matter of fact, I think Iran is not going to do anything further, because Israel is better prepared for defense, and Iran has shown that, thus far, their offensive is nothing.

Don't you think it's a perfect time for radical/extreme groups to start doing terrorism and blame (Put Middle East Country in dotted line . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .) in order to, not only commit murders against civilians, but to potentially begin a WW3?

Or...

Are we in WW3 now?
Have we been in WW3 long time ago? The only difference, is that we picture WW3 as we were taught WW2 and WW1...

Do you think China, whom's been in war against Taiwan... Russia, that supposedly was going to occupy Ukraine in a week and it's been 2 fricking years, or the British, America, or whatever country, ally of Israel or Iran, are going to get their noses in when they're having their own wars? Namely economic or whatever.

Smoke and mirrors for domestic audiences
So... in a sense, yes, probably Iran realized that they're no match against Israel, and Israel isn't going to get any help from wester allies...

Or, maybe we haven't seen anything from Iran yet... you know, maybe they haven't used their big toys.
What would be the consequences for the Middle East and their allies if they decide to escalate?
We have yet to see how Israel retaliates against Iran, and we have yet to see who comes to aid Iran.

Again, in my opinion, very unlikely for Iran to get help... but I also think it's too soon for conclusions.

It's okay, we know the US will cover it. lmao

The President will say all kinds of bs stuff about Israel doing nono stuff, and how much he thinks it's "wrong", but then give them a billion more "secretly".

Great, let's just get this over with. Some users may have noticed before that I say things in way that are open to interpretation, sometimes with dual meaning, but the honest truth of the matter at this point is that humanity absolutely deserves to be universally nuked.

Just sick of it all.

I will always side with basically anyone against Israel, don't get me wrong, but what is the end result there?
