    WW3? I highly doubt it. More just a continuation of the proxy wars from the Cold War.

    But yes I agree the continued support is idiotic to say the least. BUT it’s not just Biden, the felonious cheetoh said he’d support Israel too. The only criticism I can find from him is that Israel shouldn’t be broadcasting all these images of war because its “Bad PR”:

    “I don’t know why they released wartime shots like that. I guess it makes them look tough. But to me, it doesn’t make them look tough,” Trump continued. “They’re losing the PR war. They’re losing it big. But they’ve got to finish what they started, and they’ve got to finish it fast, and we have to get on with life.” https://www.politico.com/news/2024/04/04/trump-israel-gaza-war-00150577

    Its a lose/lose scenario with Israel

      This isn’t happening in a vacuum.

      Hezbollah and Russia have a defense treaty with some others like Iraq and Iran. Russia and NK just signed one.

      Russia is losing in Ukraine, and none of the countries next to Israel can stand against a US backed Israel.

      WW2 was because some minor dude got shot and treaties pulled everyone in. What’s going on now could definitely make WW3 pop off, it doesn’t take much historically

          WW1 set the stage for WW2 to be fair. 2 as we know it wouldn’t have happened without 1.

              I do think he confused 1 and 2 when he wrote that statement though. I actually think 2 wouldn’t have happened at all without the effects of 1.
