Is it too soon to talk about the 3rd world war? Well, maybe, but we are trending in the wrong direction. I’m going to skip over the rash of airplane crashes since 2025 and go directly to the big one: No, not the LA thing… I’ll get to that in depth at some point. I’m talking about Israel. What the news fails to point at but definitely is aware of is the correlation between these outrageous military aggressions and Netanyahu facing political pressure to give up the throne. Each time he’s cornered politically, he goes off militarily. Even if he is not a hardliner he is at least appeasing that faction to stay in power. Striking Iran while in the midst of conquering Gaza is out of pocket. However, politically he can expect the USA to at the very least continue supplying and restocking the weapons being used at bargain basement prices which are supplemented by billions in US foreign aid. The way it works is the USA gives them 3 to 5 billion a year to purchase US made weapons and equipment… Yeah. It will never stop. This is a country with the 16th highest GDP in the world and they are on US welfare. Ironic.
I digress.
The war though. Politically and militarily it is a defensible action. It is also adding fuel to the fire out there. Things are bad. This isn’t going to make them better. We are talking about proud nations. Iran will have to strike back to save face at the least, and to avoid the same political decimation Netanyahu is fighting off at the worst. No, the worst is the widening of the ideological divide. That would be very very bad.
