      The US Empire needs far-right states to serve as footholds, it can’t just rely on aircraft carriers to project hard power. Israel is a land-based aircraft carrier. Now, I agree with Yogthos, the Empire has weakened its industrial capacity and genuinely is a paper tiger, it can be flashy for a quick period but lacks the necessary industry to pivot to a wartime economy necessary for protracted war.

          France, the US, and the UK have all reportedly been found defending “Israel” from Iranian missiles and drones, they are already involved. It seems like this very well could escalate.

      If the US thinks it can profit off a 20 year war, it will steer things in that direction. The greed has no bounds.
