I'm an actual rocket scientist (Aerospace Engineer), but when I'm not doing that I'm making maps and flags of worlds that never were and have yet to be. If you like what you see here, check out my wikia of the Second Renaissance, a sci-fi worldbuilding project I've been working on for the last few years.
So... Israel and Iran looks like they're increasingly about to start a war with one another, and alot of folks I listen to or pay attention to tends to believe that the US will get dragged into the resulting conflict and point to the ongoing clusterfuck in Gaza as a reason why (and typically referring to it as the Genocide in Gaza) Biden will ultimately join Israel in this war.
What do you suppose will happen? That the US won't get involved and stay true to what they have been saying for days regarding this and forced Israel to effectively fight a war they started by themselves or do you suppose the US does get involved and conforming the beliefs of the pro-palestine/anti-war left?
Let me save you some time: Israel has nukes. Iran doesn't.
Israel's air space was defended by not only its own air defense system, but also by the US, Jordan, and most importantly: Saudi Arabia, who publicly acknowledged that they defended Israeli air space. Meaning the Iranian nightmare has already come to pass: An Arab-Israeli mutual defense pact is functionally in place even if its not formally in place.
This is probably why they released a statement saying they have no plans for further escalation: https://www.jpost.com/breaking-news/article-797897
Now, they're probably lying, but they're not gonna try and start a war that brings in a nuclear power and the Saudi military. But if they do pull a Putin and start a doomed war, the US probably won't provide anything more than air and naval support, maybe some special forces units.
yeah still the folks I listen to that's on the left are going to be talking about this in one way or another
You know, reading your posts and comments about cultivated meats and meats created from those bioengineered algae-turned proteins makes me wonder. Do butchers and butcher shops still exist in the future, perhaps not to provide meats but to provide like unique cuts of meats and varieties not see in supermarkets? Or are they all went out of business a long time ago, extinct, and confined to history?
iran is expected to strike israel over the consulate bombing in 24- 48 hours, if they do, and israel then strikes iran starting a regional war that could drag the US in, what do you think that does to bidens election chances, if anything?
Probably not much, since Republicans even now are more hawkish on Iran than Democrats
Looks like that's underway, Iran launched a bunch of drones and they'll reach their targets in a few hours. Though I suspect Iron Dome will get rid of most of them.
