Not confirmed, but this would have dragged us in. Glad the drone crashed.

The amount of neocons and neo liberals wishing they would, anything to keep the war machine turning.

Iran, Ukraine, doesn't matter the give them war, that's how they ration the poor.

Because doing that would have BOTH Israel and the U.S. bombing them.
I'm not saying they did it, but Israel would have more motivation to pull us in to finish Iran off for them.

Being as that Israel could in all likelihood decimate Iran on their own, what is the popular reasoning behind why so many people insist Israel wants to “pull us into the war?”

Because that's what they want? Why wouldn't they want the U.S. spending their bombs and planes?

They may look at us as their enemy but from a strategy standpoint do you really think it makes sense for them to provoke bringing the U.S. into a war where they're already technologically overmatched?

What Isreal is referring to with the specific mention of eliminating Iran’s nuclear program is the much discussed concept that eliminating that program is in both of our countries’ interests. Which I happen to agree with. But the idea is sharing the burden, so to speak, if indeed it benefits both countries.

Iran is doing exactly what they said they’d do: strike back at Israel and the US, if involved, which clearly we were.

Maybe the war machine wouldn't keep turning absent terroristic regimes funded by 2 former PsOTUS - both Democrats and which Party occupied the WH when Ukraine blew up?

P.S. and which Party occupied the WH when Iran blew up.....dayyyyyyyum

They’re not provoking, they’re retaliating. We were complicit in granting Israel passage through Iraqi airspace to carry out the attack. They’ve said they would retaliate. They’ve said they will retaliate. If the rumor holds true, then they did retaliate.

And when the Mullahs depart and a reasonable regime replaces then and only then will their nuclear ambitions fade
