They attack Iran, Iran retaliates, the USA uses it as an excuse to launch an attack. Just like everyone predicted.
White House officials believe ‘the politics are a lot better’ if Israel strikes Iran first
The calculus is a political one — that more Americans would stomach a war with Iran if the United States or an ally were attacked first. Recent polling shows that Americans, and Republicans in particular, support regime change in Iran, but are unwilling to risk any U.S. casualties to achieve it. That means Trump’s team is considering the optics of how an attack is conducted in addition to other justifications — such as Iran’s nuclear program.
Well yes, you’ve discovered the reason that America supports Israel no matter how bad it looks. They are America’s attack dogs and staging ground in the Middle East, and they are strategically positioned right next to the Mediterranean and the Red Sea. That’s what Joe Biden meant when he said even if Israel didn’t exist, the US would have invented an Israel. Most countries in the Middle East are oppositional to the US. Israel is our foothold to maintain authority over that segment of the world and test out our weapons. In exchange, we look the other way when it comes to Gaza and the West Bank, and supply them with weapons.
