    If the US doesn’t help them, and they suffer a larger attack because of it, we then find out if they truly have nuclear weapons, which also isn’t a good outcome.

    This is all lose lose lose.

    Everyone just needs to fucking stop.

      No one was interested in an escalation except Israel. Iran has repeatedly shown that they want to keep it at fighting through proxies. Syria is in shambles and Lebanon is struggling too. Jordan, Saudi Arabia and Egypt are all bought by the US.

      Israel will stay at war, because that is what is keeping Bibi in power and now they have the opportunity for mass murder and land grabs like they haven’t had in a long time.

      The US could end all of this and if the US wasn’t a genocidal colonial force on both parts of the political isle, it would do so.

      If they use nukes they lose all rights to being a state. Possibly their lease on their mortal coils as well. This isn’t the 1970’s, Jordan and Egypt aren’t going to invade; and Syria or Lebanon would just be a clown show.
