    Zero chance.

    This may not be a popular view, but I have laid out several times that America needs Israeli war as an excuse to pump dollars into the foreign sector to dollarize the world (Europe is especially hungry for dollars right now). America needs Israel as an excuse for the dollars spent to be recycled/laundered back to the politicians and their proxies through AIPAC. America needs Israel as a forward outpost to de-stabilize the Middle East to entrench US imperialism and disrupt the emerging links from China all the way to Europe.

    Israel knows all that, and they are leveraging their own crucial position within the US strategic goals to get the war they’ve always wanted.

    At the same time, just like with Ukraine, the US is fine with Israeli lives being sacrificed for the goals of furthering American imperialism. It’s a politically tenable move that is far more preferable to drafting their own citizens to fight in foreign wars.

    It’s win-win for both sides.

      Also explains the posturing on China and their weapons sales to places like Russia. Stir that up a little and make them seem like a bad guy for basically just doing what any country that produces military equipment does. Meanwhile it gets everyone a little more on edge and ready to make military purchases themselves from your friends in the USA.
