    I will preface this by saying I don’t believe for a second the US was ignorant of the intent to attack.

    In fairness, if one of your allies that you’ve been giving tons of weapons to suddenly decides to attack its neighbor one day, especially when both countries have nuclear capabilities, you can bet your ass the people in charge of militaries all over the world will be watching just in case shit hits the fan.

    For instance if France went insane and attacked England, you can be assured all of the EU defense departments (let’s pretend their defensive treaties aren’t in place) will be watching it like a hawk the moment it starts.

    Again, I believe the US government had full foreknowledge and would have given its blessing for the attack if Israel cared to wait for it. They definitely shared Intel that made it happen.

      I can see that. Also, in my post above I forgot about the shooting down of Iranian missiles and drones, which seems to have happened a lot? And preparing for retaliatory strikes in Iraq and nearby areas
