... as Larry summarizes it correctly.
Israel’s initial euphoria over its Friday morning strikes on Iranian targets is fading as Israeli inhabitants get a taste of their own medicine. Israel’s much touted Iron Dome is a total bust.
Pretty much all of the Israel's (the US) AD-ABM is nothing but a propaganda show which failed miserably. And, of course, the "plan" was to get the US involved directly. But here are some interesting details from Capitol Hill. I am not going to be talking about Thomas Massie--love him or hate him, he has balls unlike most cowards in Washington, so his position is no surprise and he openly laughs in the faces of AIPAC crowd. Same pretty much goes to Rand Paul. But suddenly other voices begin to be heard:
Yes, Democrats, and no--Trump is not going to Congress for any authorization, but the run for mid-terms has already started and records and "paper trails" created. Now that Trump chickened-out of immigration issue, the only thing he has is one of the last fences to sit on before finishing off his presidency in a complete catastrophe.
Now, to those who still think that the US has an option of direct involvement--it sure does, but once, God forbids, any US Navy ship is sunk and the steady stream of the body-bags from defenseless (US doesn't have functional air defense, I warned about it for many years) US bases in the region begins to hit US shores, what's left? Correct--nuclear option, or blackmail or what have you, and that will be the end of the United States. I mean politically speaking, because it will be completely isolated and eventually fully boycotted. It will become a pariah nation with all that it entails.
