It is around 2:30 AM in Tel Aviv right now and as of yet Israel has not retaliated against Iran’s retaliation for Israel’s strike on their consulate in Syria. The news is mostly finger pointing and declarations of winning, Israel claiming that they stopped “99%” of the incoming drones and missiles and Iran claiming that their punishment of Israel is complete, with no plans to launch more attacks:
“We see this operation as a complete result, and this operation has ended in our opinion, and we have no intention of continuing the operation,” (Major General Mohammad) Bagheri said, warning Israel that if it takes any further action against Iran, “the next operation will be much more extensive.”

So it seems that both sides are walking back and that hopefully nothing further will happen. That is what sane people would want.
Unfortunately some Americans, mostly MAGA evangelicals, want more blood. Newsmax and Breitbart stories are full of comments from Boomers and normiecons calling for “more support for Israel” and urging Israel to go after Iran. They seem to think that a) Israel is an innocent party in this and have forgotten Israel striking the Iranian consulate and b) that maybe a big war in the Middle East will pave the way for Jesus to return.
In my humble uninformed opinion, at a minimum the U.S. knew what was going on when Iran launched those drones and missiles and cooler heads prevailed. Iran didn’t send waves of missiles at Tel Aviv or other population centers. Israel didn’t immediately lash out in response. Iran got to save face, both sides can declare they “won” and very few lives were lost. If it escalates? Who knows how many would die. The next attack might not be telegraphed so obviously to give the Israeli and American forces time to get ready for it. Iran has lots of cards left to play that would spread the suffering a bunch. Non-retards don’t want this is escalate.
American “conservatives”? They spent the morning singing in church about the love of Jesus and then started clamoring for World War III on social media.

Nothing over there is worth one ounce of American treasure, nor one drop of American blood. Pass the popcorn, but don't ask for donations.
