Re: Israel, Hamas, Hezbollah, Iran … War

A (imho) reasonable summary of the current situation by an ex-NSC Advisor, Ben Rhodes.

Quote:
In the best case scenario, Trump struck a deal to reopen a Strait that was open before the pointless war he started, with [Iran] demonstrating its control over the Strait and potentially extracting fees plus sanctions relief.

Thousands of innocents—including hundreds of children—dead in Lebanon and Iran for no reason.

U.S. troops killed and wounded.

U.S. embassies and bases in the Middle East badly damaged.

U.S. standing in the world obliterated.

U.S. munitions badly depleted.

Hundreds of billions spent.

Prices up everywhere.

More global economic fallout to come.

Putin strengthened and enriched.

Just a catastrophic situation even in the best of circumstances. A profoundly shameful episode in American history no matter what happens next.”
