As Israel continues striking Iran, Trump says he's still considering whether the U.S. military should provide direct support in an increasingly deadly war.
A new forever war could definitely fucking happen, but make no mistake this is NOT 2003.
In 2003 we had:
Nine Eleven Brain
Bush putting in the WORK
Near zero independent media
Two years of intense ramp-up
12 years of the whole society constantly thinking about killing Saddam Hussein, kids lemme tell you I had a Super Nintendo game about killing Saddam Hussein and it was a banger
Trump is getting dragged into this because he’s nearly as senile as Biden at this moment and he’s surrounded by neocon hawks. He knows people don’t want to go to Iran, not even Republicans. He’s embarrassed that he’s getting dog-walked into it, and Israel is desperate to get some American assets destroyed by Iran to force his hand. But there are a LOT pathways out of this.
He should get Hillary to take care of Bibi for him and do a coup of the entity in exchange for unspecified favors. It’s about the only way out of this situation I can see that isn’t a powerful actor like Russia or China doing a blocks your path type move of putting a bunch of powerful advanced anti-air assets there to prevent the US bombing from working. A move by the way which would immediately draw the ire of all the salivating, hand-rubbing war-hawk ghouls thinking they’ll finally get to destroy Iran. It would definitely dial up the tension between whoever did it and the west and place them firmly as enemy number one.
I almost think Russia could afford it a bit more than China though maybe not as it might be enough to anger the apocalyptic Kkkristians into demanding NATO be sent into Ukraine and daring Russia to nuke them because one way or the other they want the end of the world.
