Apparently, USG is doing the same thing it did before the June attack on Iran.
Expect that if Iran shows restraint or is unable to hit back, the shills will say: "See? They're a paper tiger, and can't do anything. Let's bomb them more."
Expect that if Iran does hit back and kills any number of American soldiers, the shills will say: "Outrageous! They have killed Americans! Let's bomb them more."
And we will too. Iran has nearly four times the population of Syria. They're also not mostly Sunnis, so they won't be as welcome in Turkey - even if they hadn't gotten sick of the Syrians there. Where are these people going? This is going to destroy Europe.
It's almost as if these decisions are being made by people with a seething hatred of Europe, based on centuries of made up grievances.
I think they're indifferent, while we obsess over "what's good to Israel". If they can get 0.001 strategic advantage while destroying Europe, good deal!
Their hatred of Europe leaks out all the time. Spend some time on T_D here with the Unit 8200 people that run it. You'll see.
There is a guy here who thinks that half of Europe should be 'glassed'. He's also a supporter of Israel, but I'm not sure those two are related. Plenty of ordinary Americans just hate Europe for some reason.
But a lot of Europeans hate America. People here think that I'm an America-hater, but I'm actually quite moderate compared to the average European.
