    I think Russia probably encouraged this, but I think it’s another miscalculation. America is set up at this point to fight proxy wars. Now all that happens is Israel weapons gets added as a line item alongside Ukraine on a defense budget bill that’s now easier to pass. So they may have been involved or just encouraged, but I think it’s gonna backfire.

      It’s not physical interactions of the US helping Israel. Israel is already armed to the teeth and have everything they need.

      It’s the political distraction. US Politicians, Media, will all be focusing on Israel for the next who knows how long, and Ukraine will be a side story.
