Looks pretty clear that Israel is going to try to completely dismantle Hezbollah at this point.

Instead of knee jerk reacting, take a minute and read through this.  You'll learn something.  I did.

 

Yeah. I stopped reading when it said Iran was behind the assassination attempt on trump

But they are like wack a moles. Meaning, every time you hit one on the head a little ball goes up a tube and rings a bell.

Yeah, I remember the last time a US embassy was under siege with a weak president.

 

It was 2020, when protesters surrounded the US embassy in baghdad.

Also 2019, when protesters surrounded the US embassy in baghdad.

What difference, at this point, does it make?

Just not sure a second front is wise

At this stage, I would say the better move is to defer to the IDF.  You can be sure they've thought and planned this one out thoroughly.  In any event, reports are that this is limited operation.

As long as Israel has a blank check from the U.S. government Israel’s neighbors don’t stand a chance.

I am into modern society. Call me crazy

I'm reading a lot of speculation here in the Swedish press from "experts" saying that Israel may turn their attention to Iran's nuclear program once they feel the threat from Hezbollah has been eliminated.  The thinking being that Hezbollah has always been the thing in the way stopping Israel from taking out the Iranian nukes.  An interesting and frightening thought.  I'd love to see those Iranian pre-nukes and uranium production facilities wiped out but it would be at a HUGE risk.

Doesnt seem like a good risk, but BN does seem like he is overly determined to get too far out over his skiis…

even hezbollah on a second front was risky but take the Ws and reset the field of play. Be patient and see if it really cuts of Iran while You retool and reload

Iran is preparing a missile attack on Israel.
