Slightly sensationalistic but I agree overall. The reason Israel attacked the consulate was to test the waters and see how America would react—basically to see if they could count on their support. America revealed that they were not at all comfortable with escalating, and basically told Israel that they would be on their own if they went down this path.

At the same time, the Americans had to negotiate an Iranian response that would maintain the Iranian domestic credibility without causing Israel to overreact too dramatically. And this is exactly what happened. Iranian military officials met with the CIA to determine the magnitude of their response, with the parameter being no civilian casualties.

Contrary to neocon propaganda, Iran is actually a very cautious state and it desperately wants to avoid an all out war too, so they were content to not go full TKD on Israel.

After the Iranian response, the ball was back in Israel’s court, and the Americans were hoping that they wouldn’t respond. But they did, and even though it seems like actual damage was minimal, now Iran will be forced to respond in turn.

So basically Israel kicked off a game of chicken in a bid to get the U.S. to step up its involvement in the Middle East, but it backfired and now both Israel and Iran will both be stuck escalating while neither of them really want too. But, their credibility will be at stake if one of them decides not to respond. This could become a very awkward situation where Israel and Iran just fire missiles at each other once a week that don’t really have a military effect but just to keep up appearances. But Israel is clearly the more erratic actor in this case, so if anyone will escalate, it will be Israel, and if anyone backs down, it will be Iran.

One final note, Israel doesn’t really have the capability to nuke the U.S., so if you’re American you’ll probably be fine if they unleash the Samson Option.

How long is Israel expected to tolerate a regime constantly stirring up terror organizations with the express purpose of the genocide of the Israeli people? Iran fucked around, now they find out.

It is war. Deception and Censorship are well won tools. I always wait 48 hours before reaching conclusions. In the meantime, stay away from crowds.

Still upset about how hilariously inaccurate your first prediction about the war turned out to be.

If you are interested, I wrote about the red heifer matter at L5News.substack.com

The current Israeli govt would also suitcase nuke Brussels and a few other German speaking cities. The nukes are already in place imo

I am not interested in the continuation of the current regime in Israel. I am not interested in the continuation of this fourth term of Obama. I will continue to oppose the military draft, which I am not sure you oppose based on your comments. Do you really prefer millions of dead Americans to a change in the Israel govt?

No, I won't fight to prevent Israel from becoming a Zimbabwe or a South Africa. They made their bed and they can lay down in it.

Do you like the current American govt? How much psychopathy are you willing to accept? How many more children are you willing to have Hillary and Huma torture to death? I would be curious to better understand your views.

Lunatics are trying to drag us into the next world war. Actually certifiable lunatics who believe God wants animals burnt alive and sacrificed to Him. These people are insane.

I think I would have sit this one out. This post won’t age well. You made predictions on top of predictions in a war game you’re playing in your own head. I’d say almost zero of what you suggest will actually happen.

Since October I have had a scenario in my head , like a computer game , that includes an American carrier that suddenly suffers catastrophic damage due to explosion. There are many casualties. This is blamed on a weapon from Iran , obtained from Russia. In truth , the carrier sailed from port with a secret deep inside. A bomb that could be triggered via satellite signal . The U.S. then enters into open war with Iran and Russia. I know if I can think of that , many others already have.

I'm not dying for pedophiles. They can die for their way of life.

So if the Samson option seems likely, the West should get Isreal before mad Zionists nuke the West?

What a moralist you are on the question of Israel! The weak suffer what they must, my friend...isn't that the pagan view? "International law" LOL what would pagan Romans think of that? Did they follow the principle of "proportionate response" LMAO. Truly, you illustrate Nietzsche's point that the ghost of the Christian God would linger, even for those who claim to reject him.

Hyperbolic take.

Equal amounts of vitriol and panic mongering.

I guess the Christian Zionists (if any genuine ones really exist) backed the right Horsemen to bring on the Apocalypse.
