If you spend any time watching the footage from Ukraine, you'll know that drones are absolutely brutal.
I don't have a lot of faith in Biden, but suspect they are presently building a coalition that includes Arab states. And they'll go hard. I don't think they'll hit Iran directly. But Iran has proxy armies all over the region. Don't think they'll hit Hamas. No one one wants to get involved with that. Don't think they'll hit Hezbollah, since they've been reasonably responsible and don't want the fight.
But I suspect Iranian backed militias in Iraq and Syria, as well as the Houthis, are going to get wrecked in the coming weeks.
We shall see.
Iran is causing a lot of chaos in the Middle East lately.
Would watch carrier groups. No one is invading Iran. But suspect the US and its allies will bring it.

These people know what they signed up for when they went there to meddle in the affairs of the Middle East on behalf of Israel. Don’t want to fight and die? Don’t volunteer to fight for Israel.
They were probably right wing trumpet voters any way. The world will go on without them.

That depends on whether other nutjob regimes and terrorists can go 20 years without attacking us.
By “we” you mean Israel?
Huh, I wasn't aware that the Twin Towers were in Israel.![]()

US isn't good at playing the long game internationally, thanks to our screwed-up domestic politics. Which by the way are screwed up in part due to influence operations by Russia and others. It's too bad people can't put country first, rather than party first or money first.
