205 sats \ 1 reply \ @optimism 13h \ on: Washington Should Stay out of Israel’s New War Politics_And_Law
In this regard, it is critical to highlight that the United States cannot be “drawn into” a conflict that it has already participated in for years. Israel’s strikes on Iran are the direct result of U.S. backing – diplomatically and militarily – which lowered Israeli perceptions of costs and perceived risks of an assault on a country substantially larger than itself.
This is how I've felt about everything Israel does. It's all funded by Uncle Sam, and thus there lies the power to stop the aggression. Not with Putin, not with the CCP, but - utlimately - with the American people:
Just as Washington has the capacity to embolden Tel Aviv, it also has the influence to hold it back.

I was literally just about to say that. The U.S. is already in these wars; I can't imagine Israel doing all that it does without full American backing.
