trump can’t reply as he’s deep throating netanyahu

If we want to see this stop, we need a revolution. We need to build a worker-led anti-imperialist movement.

Hey, what you don't trust me?

Israel is a settler colonialist state using pseudoscience and “Zionism” which is just the same repackaged ideology that justified the extermination of the indigenous population in the United States. Israel is a settler colonialist project that’s main objective is the systematic extermination and land absorption of the Middle East. It’s Manifest Destiny all over again

If you have a better way for Israel to forestall elections and reckoning for their failure to keep their ghetto under control we would love to hear it. Because using the epstein blackmail to force the US into starting our new forever war, Persian Gulf War III, is what we are working with here.

And there will be no shortage of pretexts to reopen hostilities no matter of peace agreements afterwards, hence the forever part. We had to cross over to hit a militant group, terror group, whatever. Every time Israel's leaders' approval ratings are down or they are facing a vote they can pretext up another round of Iran war.

The beauty of it, for them, is that Iran is nearly powerless to respond. They've a non existant airforce, rudimentary missiles and air defense, and are fundamentally compromised in their communications on a base level allowing near total visibility in what they are doing. Satelites, drones, the air forces, it's fun killing people that can't fight back! /s

There used to be a satirical musical group called the Capitol Steps that sang a song called "Bomb, Bomb, Bomb, Iran" sung to the tune of the Beach Boys Barbara Ann. This was at 20 years ago. Unfortunately, Covid killed the group (as in made it no longer viable because people quit coming to see them, not actually killing them).

I wish they'd try to make a comeback.

We're still looking for the WMDs.

Israel doesn't need one. The Iranian regime has already turned the world against them by slaughtering their own people last month, and their people already hate them, and so if they just attacked outright, most people and countries aren't going to care. They'll just say something like "Oh no, anyways we urge all sides to show restraint".

We have already travelled so far past the Nyquist Limit on that, the official signal is almost all Israeli-US Non-Harmonic Distortion. Barrages of aliasing travel up and down the frequencies of communication with no apparent harmonic relationships being expressed.

The meaning of "false flag" loses relevance when the true flags are just as false.

Without reading an article, but I will assume you mean a magical macguffin weapon just.....sinks it and no one knows what happened. The response depends on a few things.

A macguffin weapon like a Deathstar type where it can fire at single target position would give most Threat analysis away and the immediate questions to answer would be 1. How much energy/fuel/ammunition does it cost to fire. (If a broke country can afford a mega laser - how don't I have one?) 2. How does it target (radar can be blocked, is it manually aimed as direct fire/ parabolic like artillery) 3. How can it be avoided (like blocking radar to aim, or like can a physical obstruction block the firing angle. 4. Can it be destroyed (is it susceptible to a strike team on land to sabotage?) 5 Is there more than one.

More pollution in the Mediterranean :(

If it looks like something that could happen again, rather than a one-off fluke, USA would have to change their whole naval doctrine. The strategic arms balance of all countries would need to be reassessed.

Magically? Hypersonic missiles kind of feel like magic, but thet are very real.

The US would freak out and escalate the war. But they are going to do that anyway sooner or later, this is a forever war, Israel needs it for their domestic agenda, and the US party, the one fixing elections to stay in power, is all in.

But regardless if they did sink it the administration would try and treat it like Pearl Harbor and use it to escalate tensions more than they have support to do already.

Public opinion is the only thing holding them back now, and they aren't entirely certain how much they need public opinion still given the elections aren't reliably fixed yet, at least not back to back fixed. We can still stop them here, but the window to do so is closing.

Like with a dragon?

It's borderline impossible to sink it. Nothing can even get close to it, let alone sink it. If, as you say, magic was involved and it was sank, then the US would glass whichever country did it. This ship represents the peak of American naval power, which is the basis of America's hard power. A country that sinks the ship is getting an official declaration of war from congress, and the US will unleash its entire arsenal to make an example out of them.

Israel is going to attack it and say it was Iran and then they will have an excuse to attack Iran for the interest of Israel

Peace can't exist without war, don't you know? ... wait a second ...

I would assume their legal theory is "Just fucking try to stop us"

No, that's stupid. Aircraft carriers are built to be portable military airports. They're made for blue water warfare against coastal countries with no US military bases nearby. It's useful against countries like China or India or Brazil where there are no US basis around, but that's not the case for Iran. The US already has military bases in Qatar, Kuwait, UAE, Saudi Arabia, Turkey, Israel, Jordan, Bahrain, Oman, Syria, and Iraq. The Ford carrier is just there as a symbolic show of force.
