I worry we’re weeks or months away from nuclear war at this point :( Sad day for humanity that these wars keep getting bigger instead.

There is no way that murdering top Iranian officials in an Iranian embassy ~~on Syrian soil~~ was ever going to be anything but a gauntlet thrown down. If it was almost any other country than Israel the world would be outraged. Countries like the USA and Germany didn't pull support because of things like destroying hospitals and killing innocents, so bombing the embassy of a country as reviled as Iran inside Syria wasn't going to stop them.

Netanyahu knows his days in power are done very shortly after Israel leaves a condition of all-out war. Biden has told him that, his polls tell him that, and protestors tell him that. I think he's poking the local bears to escalate and stay in power by extending the conflict. Both Biden and Trump have promised support so Netanyahu is acting with the backing of the world's largest military no matter who wins. Pulling the USA and other Western countries into another war in the Middle East is his best bet of pushing that day of reckoning way down the road.

Nutshell:

Iran has launched more than 100 drones toward Israel.
The Biden administration expects Iran will also launch dozens of cruise missiles and dozens of ballistic missiles.
It will be hours before the drones arrive.

The Biden administration expects Iran will also launch dozens of cruise missiles and dozens of ballistic missiles targeting Israeli government sites, not civilians or religious sites, a US official said.

TFW Iran is doing war stuff more humanely than Israel has been for the last seven months.

What can I do to help as an American?

[–] [email protected] 35 points 6 months ago (1 children)

Pressure your politicians to stop supporting Israel.

Israel attacked Iran, and now they are getting attacked back. There’s nothing to do to help.
