“It was abundantly clear that if Iran came under attack by anyone … they were going to respond and respond against the United States,” Rubio said. “We knew there was going to be an Israeli action. We knew that would precipitate an attack against American forces. And we knew that if we didn’t preemptively go after them before they launched those attacks, we would suffer higher casualties.”

@Vegas  I told you so... this is all about Israel

Wanna hear an interesting fresh take?

There's a guy who publishes on youtube and other platforms under the name New Atlas who posits that the US is using israel as a vassal in Iran and making people hate israel as the tail that wags the dog. He argues the US is NOT in response mode - that israel does what it's told and deflects the heat from the US.

I'm not gonna be the first guy in the line to defend israel, but he makes a great deal of sense. And if his argument is true, it's far from a defense of israel. But it does she new light.
