Does the US really want to play this game? 90% of Israel's water comes from desalination plants, and now we've given Iran the justification to strike back in a similar manner.

I think we re-enter the middle east in some capacity every 5-10 years since like desert storm. Its not new. People are just sick of it. It could be weapons, it could be troops. We never really take our hand off the wheel over there.

It's military keynesianism and the US economy has been running off of it since world war 2.
