I don’t think Israel launches a strike on Iran without U.S. approval. And I don’t see that approval coming from the WH or State Department before the election. Biden has taken his party out on a limb, and there’s no turning back. My hope is that the DP loses again, and whoever takes office will not let any neocons have any role in their government.

Isn’t it curious how every step that Netanyahu has taken has brought his country closer to total destruction, and every step taken by Biden appears to be hastening the end of the empire?

Israel can't strike without US support. And it does appear US is giving all possible support to Israel it can, including the required tactical planning needed to strike Iran. I don't believe Biden is trying to stop Israel at all - that is standard US propaganda BS to cover Washington's ass. If Biden wanted to, he could pull the plug with a phone call. He hasn't and won't.

I think these fools really do think they can win a war with Iran.

Iran has long been justified in doing so. However, they cannot.

Sounds like wishful thinking.

The irony is that, if Trump were to win, Team D would suddenly rediscover human rights for a little while.

Sort of like how Team D congressmen bewailed the Saudi genocide in Yemen, only to reverse course once Trump was no longer in the Oval Office.

There's no hope of that. When Obama held over Bush's secretary of defense, and his secretary of the treasury who had just overseen the collapse of 2008, I knew that the two parties were just front men for the same forces. The neocons couped this country in 2000, when Bush was appointed president by the Supreme Court, and they still run what passes for our foreign policy.
