The USA is playing both sides against each other in the Israel-Iran conflict, something I’m sure most of us are aware of. Just how shamelessly and blatantly they’re doing it might make you blink, though.
Before Iran launched their strike against Israel, they informed Turkey of their plans. Apparently Turkey then informed the US, which then told Iran to “Keep it within certain limits”.
Not “Don’t you dare attack Israel or you will have us to fight” but “Okay, no problem. Attack Israel but not too much.” Attack our Ally!
Little Israel is doing their very best to put the constant assaults and murders to an end. Ever since the country was founded it’s been like having Chicago on steroids festering away right in the middle of the country, and being prevented at every turn from eliminating the problem.
I felt when the Oct. 7 Hamas assault happened that it was allowed to happen as the only way to get enough outrage, enough world support and national support to finally go to all out war against the terrorists. It was a sacrifice that had to be made. The US government has been interfering and trying to slow the war down, to stop it, ever since, while continuing to claim that “We have your back”. Yeah, you do, and that’s a knife in your hand.
Knowing all this, I wouldn’t retaliate against Iran. This back and forth escalation is exactly what the US wants, for their own reasons. I’d do what Israel already did and say that they’ll respond in their own time, and stay focused on getting rid of Hamas. This is about trying to get Israel involved in a big war with Iran and being forced to put their home battles on hold. I wouldn’t fall for it.
