        Most people at least those vocal on lemmy claims that it’s only about Israel colonial interests. It is about both

          I guess it can be a bit confusing considering Israel is basically a vassal state of the US, but at times it can be hard to tell who is the tiger and whose is holding it by the tail.

          I disagree. This is spin with no possibility of pay off. It’s still all about Israel weakening Iran and annexing Lebanon.

          And the obscene ammount of blackmail generated by Epstein and Maxwell of course.

      More broadly, it is about western imperial expansion. Control of the Red Sea. Control of the Suez Canal. The ability to cut China and Russia off from international markets (specifically, trade with India and West Africa).

      Oil was a big part of it, but not the whole.

      It was always not only about israel colonial interests but also american imperialist interests

      They’re joined at the hip.

    Obviously they’re doing this to protect the world from Iran using nuclear weapons. I cannot think of any other reason. Just like Venezuela.

      Reverse Gallipoli.

      Unopposed landing, then, a week or so later, 2,000 shahed drones a day untill I guess something like a quarter of the 82nd airborne ceases to exist.

    Attacking, then stealing.

    I really wish Bonespurs McFuckUp would go to the Middle East for once just to oversee… That’d be nice, don’t you think? I’m sure it’s be safe.

    OK, when this was expected in the first few days, it was not as stupid. Still stupid, but now they’ve given them months to prepare. This has always been the most obvious target for an invasion. There’s no way it isn’t a trap at this point. If they did it fast then at least they wouldn’t be dug in. Now, a lot more people are going to die for nothing. It doesn’t move any closer to ending the conflict.
