      It’s been so profitable for nearly a hundred years, why stop now?

        You’re not wrong. But this is our tax payer money being flushed down the toilet to make war profiteering companies more money. I guess go buy some military contractor stocks since it doesn’t look like we have any representatives that can actually stop this bullet train to WWIII.

      Uhh, Hezbollah is unequivocally the bad guys in that potential conflict. Doesn’t make Israel the good guys, mind you…

        Huh? How so? Hezbollah, like everyone else actually doing something, want Israel to stop genociding Gaza.

            And? Does that automatically make them the bad guys in anything they do? You just dropped a logical fallacy and left.

                So it’s tribalism? I mean at least try to make it sound reasonable. Yes, fuck your greatest ally trying to commit genocide.

            Hezbollah has been retaliating against Israeli aggression on Lebanon. Israel has been stepping up attacks on Lebanon in the past 6-8 months in an effort to (I assume) drag the US into a war with Iran. Iran who’s actually been incredibly restrained in their responses to Israeli and American aggression.

              Neither US nor Iran have anything to gainnfrom this. Hopefully greatest ally fails. They are really creating a lot of needless problems, it is getting tiring.
