I think part of the point is that bombing the negotiating team that you're saying you're trying to get a "ceasefire" with, and then just straight-up claiming "Yeah we had every right to do that so fuck you," is a new low even by the standards of geopolitics.

And then a further point is that they are not a superpower, or even a regional power like Iran. They're relying solely on US support to get away with shit like this, where almost all countries of their size would face serious consequences of some sort for it.
