Iran is attacking Israel

In case you haven't been paying attention, things have been that way over there for decades. In fact one could make a sensible argument it has been going on for centuries.
I am fully aware of history in that area and Europe, Africa, the China sea, and others.

I think the real questions are

1) Why is this our problem to solve?
2) As world policeman, how many American boys are going to be causalities in this infinity war.
3) How much is this going to cost?

On #3, Israel is the single largest recipient of US foreign aid since 1948. We still pay Israel $700+ per year per person in aid.

Most people I talk to are not aware of how much foreign aid Israel gets .
 
Iranian news sources said that their leader, Khamenei, had been moved to a secure location and out of harm's way a few days before the attacks. Really?? How well did that work out for Hezbollah's leaders?
 
I often wonder how many are aware of much of anything going on in the world.

Much if not all of it goes to purchasing high tech weapons from U.S. manufacturers, which gets battle tested against the newest weapons from Russia, China and Iran, and the results get shared back with the U.S. Military. All in all, I think a better deal than if the money went directly to simply propping up U.S. military suppliers. It's also good for U.S. workers.

This thread is approaching the Poster #50 mark, at which time enough suggestions and advice will have been made
to solve the Mideast problem once and for all.

There is no solution.

With Russia and Ukraine, each side has something they want - Russia wants to own Ukraine, Ukraine wants Russia out of their country. With China, they want Taiwan back and to seize the West Philippine Sea, especially around Fiery Cross Reef and Scarborough Shoals; both Taiwan and the Philippines want their sovereignty respected. All want a tangible 'something.'

But with Israel v everyone else in the Middle East, Israel wants more land and they want it Palestinian-free. Iran (and so many others there) want Israel destroyed. I sure don't see a way to fix that.
