I don't know how these various State Department spokespeople can look at themselves in the mirror. The Hypocrisy and lies are just so glaring

Is there any doubt left that there are only two different factions of Zio NOT-Z:
Those who are denying the existence of Palestinian  and those who are insisting  to make Palestinians nonexistence.  
*Rest* *in* *Power* *Aaron* *Bushnell* I will never forget you and your last words of " *Free* *Palestine* "

But here’s the thing: America knows that to truly "get it right, " you need a carefully calculated mix of self-interest, weapons exports, and the occasional democracy-flavored PR campaign. Throw in some patriotic music and a flag-waving homecoming, and it’s a guaranteed win every time. Because who needs peace when you’ve got profits and parades? Who needs the Journalists?

Here's my take: Iran will retaliate with the usual (cruise missiles, drones, etc..) which will prompt Israel to focus on 1 of 2 things: (1) taking Lebanon, or (2) holding back Hezbollah while they attack Iranian targets in Syria and Iran proper. The turks might be a serious problem here: while they aren't friendly to Iran, I'm quite sure they'll allow Iran the use of the territory they control (particularly the M4) in Syria. With the Syrian state weak and full of ethnic/religious tension, and with the north of Iraq being the north of Iraq, Iran could mount a serious threat to Israel from Syria.

Now; the ethnic tensions within Syria, Iraq, and Iran might fuck everything up, but assuming not... What can the US do? Spend every dollar possible on defending Israel? What happens when the drop the bomb on Beirut or Tehran?

The US wants to defend Taiwan from China, and Israel from Iran. They can't do both. If (I'll assume when) Israel drops a nuke, the US will have the out they need, allowing them to focus on China.

Should the US continue the support of Israel, all western allies in the east will declare on China, and we're all fucked big time.
