Well finishing up Lebanon first. Then Syria, Jordan, and eventually Egypt.

Is trump going to bring the IDF to help with election fraud or whatever bullshit he will manifest to justify it?

Unfortunately plenty of secular neolibs ok with this (Sam Harris)

They're only the greatest source or war and murder in human history. What's not to like?

Herod did that to the first couple of Roman emperors until Vespasian clocked on what was going on

The US is officially in the cuck chair

The Medes were the pre-eminent indo-iranian group for a bunch of the iron age.

They were integral to the grand alliance that finally brought down the Assyrian Empire, after similar alliances had formed and been defeated. The Median Empire took over huge chunks of the defeated empire and their name was so well known that even in the Persian Wars, the Greeks referred to joining the Persian Empire as Medizing.

Speaking of, one of the subordinate tribes in the Median Empire's coalition was a minor regional player that today we call the Persians...

Mossad and the CIA were already joined at the crotch going back to their foundings.

We are at war with Iran, we could already be in a world war.

Because that's how it's played out every single time throughout history and that's exactly how it will play out now. The longer we wait, the more blood will spill.

Well they fucked their arab allies in the region. They lost their bases hosted by those allies. This means the Americans can't rely on the pre-existing material base or the goodwill of the arabs. What they got left in the region is Israel. Perhaps they think they no longer need the arabs to project power.

Imagine for a moment that the purpose of Epstein's sex trafficking was to get compromising video and other evidence to use for blackmailing powerful leaders and such for Israeli intelligence.

I don't claim to know for sure that is true, but I feel like a great many things make more sense if it is.

Ukraine right now is at the forefront of modern warfare innovation. Despite being small and embattled, larger countries are coming to Ukraine to learn what they are doing with the latest drone tech. For Ukraine, this is a real, everyday, life or death battle and they have been thrust to the cutting edge of what’s possible by this. They are also very smart and making the most of it.

Meanwhile the US is fat and slow and sheltered, invested in the warfare of decades past. So the US has a lot to gain from watching closely what’s going on or even having a formal security partnership with Ukraine to learn first hand.

If the US goes a whole generation without major military conflict, it will literally forget how to do it and lose its edge. It will have no battle hardened commanders and all its tactics will be decades old. I believe this is one reason the US starts so many conflicts. Its whole empire is built on its military might and that sword needs to stay sharp.

What does this have to do with Israel?

Well, I want to avoid direct comparisons between Ukraine and Israel, because one is an innocent nation that’s been brutally invaded and the other is an aggressive religious ethnostate carved out of other people’s lands and maintained through force, brutality and espionage.

But let’s just say that Israel, too, is very active in warfare, counter terrorism, and espionage. Remember their scheme with the exploding pagers? When’s the last time the US pulled off something like that?

The US wants to learn from Israel. Like Ukraine, Israel is full of smart people who are living it every day and pushing the boundaries. You don’t get into top condition without real experience and pressure, exercise. Israel has that in a way the US does not.

This is one factor. There are many others including the wackadoodle religion stuff. But this is one factor I did not see mentioned yet.

They're America's unsinkable aircraft carrier next to the gas station
