That and Europe is afraid to put boots on the ground. They prefer appeasement and half-hearted sanctions.

This helps out two groups: the military industrial complex and the Russians. Makes more sense than the current shit going on.

Just call it a special military operation lol.

Following the 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine, relations took a downturn during Yair Lapid’s tenure as Prime Minister of Israel.[3][4] Relations improved after Netanyahu’s return as Prime Minister, although cooler than they were before the invasion.[5] Unlike many Western countries, Israel has maintained relations with the Kremlin, refused to impose sanctions against Russia, and rejected calls to send military aid to Ukraine.[6] Relations became strained during the Gaza war.[7] However, Russia did not send any military aid to Iran during the Iran-Israel war.[8] The Russian language is the third-most widely spoken first language in Israel after Hebrew and Arabic; Israel has the third-largest number of Russian speakers outside of the post-Soviet states and the highest as a proportion of the total population; in 2017 it was estimated that 1.5 million Israelis could speak Russian, which would amount to 17.25% of Israel’s population.[9][10] Over 100,000 Israeli citizens live in Russia,[11] with 80,000 of them living in Moscow,[12] while hundreds of thousands of Russian citizens live in Israel.[9]

For the US (which has always been an imperialistic pos country, never the savior of the world), this is not a pointless war. Is the most simple of all modern wars: oil war. Iran has the power to block 20% of the world’s oil supply. This is as simple as it gets, you just need to drop the rose-tinted glasses and realize that the USA js not, and has never been, any sort of paragon of morality and justice. It’s an Empire built by Oil and Billionaire Pedophiles. It’ll always do the shameless thing, because it knows no shame, and it has never known any shame, it just used to be a bit better at marketing.
