I wouldn't be so sure, no sane US politician wants to engage in a serious entanglement in Iran (because it would end up being a quagmire mixing the worst aspects of the Afghani and Iraqi invasions and blowing them up ten fold, at best) and frankly, for Israel it's Benny's Operation Barbarossa moment.

I wasn’t even figuring the US as part of it. And I really doubt that any further fighting between Israel and Iran merits a comparison to Barbarossa.

Iran must be breathing a collective sigh of relief, gratified that Israel is known far and wide for its embrace of the proportionate response. /s

Yeah, knowing that Israel's foreign policy MO tends to be "don't start a fight (at least not officially), but once it starts, escalate the fuck out of it beyond reason," (a point that's become blindingly obvious in the past couple months) it looks like whoever thought sending all these drones and missiles to Israel just shot themselves in the head.

Hoping for the best, Thump. My eldest son just came back after a tour in the ME.
