A serious question about this shit show of a war

Is there any off ramp? I can’t see it. Israel has already said they are in until Iran is Balkanized. Dump already seems bored and wants to move on. Iran will end things on their own terms and seem to have the ability to do so by holding the world economy hostage. It turns out when you destroy someone’s nation and kill their spiritual leader, they don’t want to “move on”.

Tell us this was accomplished already? It seems a lazy argument they want to go back to whenever they feel like killing people and enriching military contractors.

Hope Russia, China, Middle East, Eastern Europe, India, etc are all "just dandy" with the nuclear fallout.

Hope the rest of the world is ready for a quick end to the current global climate change with an even more radical climate change ( nuclear winter ).

Once most of the 90+ million Iranians are dead, hope no one decides to take their place.

Oh, now Israel will have a place to send all the pesky Palestinians. Just not where the radioactive oil is.

If you haven't guessed by now... this post is There is NO OFF RAMP.

The Israelis are every bit as bat shit nuts as any Muslim country when it comes to their idea that only they have some 2,000 year claim to the land. The evangelical Christian nuts in the USA want to use the Jews to bring Zombie Jesus back. I have very little faith in humanity that they will listen to rational people not under the spell of these cults.

Folks say "Kushner's, Witkoff's, Hegseth's and AI's fault." I think HE said that. Perhaps Bibi started it and conned the little child into going along.

Like almost all wars, you start one, expect a 3 day cakewalk, and it lasts years.

Coincidence, the juiciest Epstein files to date released? He wildly overplayed this.

No idea how it unfolds. Only one thing's for sure.
