I agree they’re putting out feelers but I don’t think they’ll get traction. I didn’t find anyone calling for direct US intervention, mainly just indirect support for Israel. Who was saying that?
I also found some leaders explicitly saying the US should not get involved. I guess it feels a lot different from the post-9/11 years when it felt like only political radicals were opposed to war, and basically every mainstream voice was cheering it on. So that’s why I’m a bit more optimistic.
US President Donald Trump said in a Sunday interview wih ABC News that the United States might get involved in the Iran-Israel conflict and expressed openness to having Russian President Vladimir Putin act as a mediator.
I guess we’ll see what happens, certainly I’ve seen some prominent voices on the right pushing back here so it’s not clear he’ll go through with it, but openly saying these things is not good.
Yep, pretty much. Although there’s a noticable lack of opposition from Democratic leadership… There’s a lot of “we’re going to watch the situation closely”
It’s not a sure thing, but it’s worrisome
Weirdly enough, the military might be one of the biggest sources of resistance. Watching them walk instead of march in the parade was very interesting… So was their choice in music.

Well, just to follow up…
Fuck me…
