  • 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.
