I think Russia is too stretched to do much if we participate tbh. Don’t forget Iran was supplying weapons to Russia, not vice versa.

And there’s this (unverified) 🤔

I think it’s likely. If not, this is the most expensive bluff in history. He’s moved multiple carrier strike groups, hundreds of aircraft, several air defense systems, etc. into the region.

The thing that tells me a strike is most likely is that they’re also stocking blood for potential casualties.
