Which is exactly what Netanyahu wants. He needs a forever war to maintain war powers so he can keep being a dictator.
This does seem to be his only real goal.
If only this could all be stopped by cutting off our weapons to israel supply to escalate these Genocides with.
So here’s the plan guys.
We let Hezbollah and Israel kill each other off, and the citizens start a new government.
One that we can be friendly with.
At least someone is acting rationally about how Israel’s actions could lead to WW3
Brown said the U.S. continues to talk with Israeli leaders and warn against widening the conflict. He said a key message is “to think about the second order of effect of any type of operation into Lebanon, and how that might play out and how it impacts not just the region, but how it impacts our forces in regions as well.”
Pentagon officials have said that Austin has also raised concerns about a broader conflict when he spoke to Gallant in a recent phone call.
“Given the amount of rocket fire we’ve seen going from both sides of the border, we’ve certainly been concerned about that situation, and both publicly and privately have been urging all parties to restore calm along that border, and again, to seek a diplomatic solution,” said Maj. Gen. Pat Ryder, the Pentagon press secretary, last week.
They are just afraid that it’s going to have a massive toll on israel. They couldn’t care less about what will happen to non ally countries
Israel can’t even genocide Gaza on their own…
If they start a war at the same time, they’ll lose immediately if they don’t drag America into it.
And Biden has spent 50 years saying that no matter what happens, he’ll never stop or even slow support to Israel.
Iran is allied with Russia and other local governments in the 4+1 treaty, so trump would likely join against Israel.
Either way, the US is gonna be involved if it happens, which isn’t a good thing.
People like saying Israel can’t genocide Gazans on their own. They need the US help, just because they say that and they’re getting it. Are you sure they’re not just lying about really needing it, and couldn’t use other, lower-tech methods like starvation or napalm to do it if they were forced to? Or even trebuchets if they really, really felt like it?
It’s a very tiring line. I understand wanting to pressure the US to halt military assistance, but do not think that would magically save Gaza. Biden has to deal with the harsh reality that it would not, because this isn’t a movie, or a peer-peer war where 1000lb bombs are actually genuinely necessary.
The IDF would take more casualties without 1000lb bombs 155mm artillery shells, definitely. But that’s it. They are human beings capable of adaptation and problem-solving, and could solve the problem of how to accomplish a goal without enough explosives.
Now, to fight Hezbollah on the other hand, that’s a pretty big army. Probably do need the big bombs for that.
But Biden has slowed weapon shipments to Israel, it’s the only thing he can (legally, not politically) do since the aid is mandated by law and his executive power doesn’t extend to negating laws.
He could also have not lied in the report that would have legally mandated stopping shipments
