Mearsheimer is saying that US "ironclad" support for Israel attacking diplomatic establishments "makes a bad situation worse".

Seems like Israel is trying to goad Iran to get the US involved with Hezbollah.

Hopefully cooler heads will prevail in Iran and the response will not be a pretext for a larger conflict.

‘…You can take this ass far back as the Clinton regime’. Victoria Meatgrinder Nuland being the ass no doubt. Wish they’d left her there.

Netanyahu and Biden, peacemakers.

Iran, Iraq, Qatar, Saudi Arabia and the UAE are willing to put aside a millennium of differences and conflicts?

I think it is time for people to perceive clearly what people are behind this. I am not claiming to know the answer. But that's the right question. You can't stop this without pulling it out by the roots. Those people, who are behind it, want us to get mad and fight against the enemy at hand.

Just a few examples:

Who benefits from Slavs killing Slavs?

Or Christians killing Muslims?

Or Germans killing Russians?

Or Poles, Czechs, Romanians, Lithuanians, etc., killing ______ ?

Or Americans killing Iranians (and Russians)?

Or Americans having hard-to-defend, and logistically-challenging, forward operating bases around the world?

Or Israelis killing Palestinians?

I don't think that it is the Chinese, fwiw.

Whose useful idiots are the Neocons?

Who talked the US into allowing a foreign invasion across her southern border?

I also intentionally asked the question about flesh-and-blood people. The Apostle Paul warned us that our real enemy isn't flesh and blood, also fwiw.

The flip flopping of the Biden Israeli Hamas policy is a sight, it seems to be depending on who made the most political noise the most recently. I don’t see a policy, but a lot of reacting mixed with a huge amount of hubris, on U.S. economic and military superiority. And an inability to see other sides Russia, China, North Korea, and Iran have free will and do not need to follow U.S. suggestions.

The West thought Russia would collapse after quickly the sanctions and thought the Russia military was hollow, and keep on doubling down on their efforts. There is no plan B, which as reality of their failure is sinking in, it’s causing a panic and a look for a scapegoat to blame.

What is even more disturbing is the nations who weren't mentioned in relation to this Israel/Iran situation: Russia and China. If Iran is forced to defend itself, I doubt that they will standby and do nothing. We seem to be faced with a terrible truth: the only way that the neocons will be stopped is by their utter humiliation on the battlefield and probably, by their physical destruction. I say only half in jest that it might be a good time for us all to stock up on basics, buy a bit of gold, and get right with God.

With inflation up and clear signals that the world is moving away from the USD, nobody should be surprised if this administration gets us into a major world war as a way to elide the financial disaster. People will put up with all sorts of deprivation if they are given enough war propaganda.
