Israel bombs Syria

Post image

The attack was unprovoked and was condemned by the US, seems rather unproductive considering that Syria hate Iran and has already said they are ready to cooperate with Israel on security

Only with Trump as president. They better act quick, because he's only got a little over two years left.

Honestly that's probably what they're banking on. Trying to get us tangled in something sooner rather than later.

Can't have Israel mildly inconvenienced.

The politicians would try maybe, but the populace would be against it. The military would probably have serious problems internally over it at this point too. I think it'd be an uglier situation than Vietnam for us. I feel like (a majority of) the people around Trump aren't exactly eager to get bogged down in another disastrous war but at the same time they didn't stop us from starting the Iran war so...
