Also add Second Gentleman to the Cabinet. He is the husband of Vice President Harris. if something happens to Biden, Harris will become POTUS.

It is already sufficiently bad. Can't get much worse.

I am no military expert; but they did a good job in Iraq and Afghanistan.

And Hamas = ?. That is the Key!

No ethnic cleansing, just a lot of dead Gazans. Gaza will become a rubble palace, but most people will die from starvation and disease. The tragedy of the world today is no one is offering even a damn alternative.

Another gift of 9/11. It transformed a deliberative polity into - GWB's sweet words - "With us or against us". There is no middle ground. We send two Carrier groups essentially with license to rain down hell on Iran if it fires anything into Israel, with not even a sense of the Congress motion.

Because Ukraine was attacked by Russia. No Western country has sent troops or launched a missile or airplane on Russia. All the help has been material and financial. I am sure Hamas has a surfeit of them. Just look at the tunnels Hezbollah has built. It looks like Taj Mahal.

No, I am sure U.S. would have come down harder on Israel if there were signs of lack of effort to reduce casualties. Having just finished two long wars, U.S. can completely understand how ugly urban warfare against these Hamas can be. There is no "finish off" Gazans, only finish off Gaza...

Generally true, but with some differences. Support for Israel now, is not just from 'domestic lobbies'. There is genuine support for Israel due to cultural affinity among certain Christian sects. Second, and much less recognized issue on this board, is the completely different national...

It is unlikely to be a major regional war. Going by the past ten days, nobody is willing to commit suicide for sake of Hamas. Only Gaza and Gazans are involuntary victims of suicide. Tent city likely, expulsion unlikely.

They have no fight with Israel. Why should everybody join in the fight? Is it some streetside spectacle?

Sadly, if you look at it from a system perspective, war is basically a fight for resources. It's natural place of occurrence is where the pressure for resources is highest. At present, Many African nations have the fastest growing populations. That pressure and consequent struggle for resources...

Actually, no. The Solar eclipse of October 14, 2023 was responsible. Historically, bad things happen during eclipse. You may wonder, how did it happen seven days before. Shut up, this is no time for logic. We are in conspiracy business.

Probably all of the above. They were making baby steps towards peaceful co-existence. Then this happened. They are back to 1948. Things move slowly over there. Hopefully, peace will return by 2098.

The incessant loop of horrible news can cause psychological trauma on some people and push them to twilight zone. I am a very levelheaded person but still can't watch too much of programs involving people breaking down and crying and trying to describe in excruciating detail how someone was...

That is harsh. Better to describe it as They know which side their Bread is Buttered on.

Jimmy was some character. You don't want to miss some of his floor speeches.

No idiot wants to occupy a place that will become hell on earth. Who wants to become the President of Haiti? Any takers? Guessed so.

'Top leadership' may not mean one person. Goldman Sachs has 13,000 Vice Presidents. Yes, that is true, not an exaggeration. If you are sufficiently successful, they make you a Vice President. Like being a Partner at a large law firm. So, Hamas or Hezbollah may have 5,000 Top leaders. i.e., those...

Wow, that looks fancier than many subways I have seen. With the amount of resources they have spent on all these 'Subways', they could have built real subways and nice infrastructure.
