First, we were in a much different world back then. That was before the Internet (if you remember, we were still using pagers). Now, everything is calibrated in real time. Second, it will largely depend on whether Israel counterattacks or not. If nothing happens, the market will likely rally. But any military response from Israel will take the market down, fearing a wider escalation in the region.
Israel most certainly has them, they just wont ever admit it. And they will take out anyone who reveals it. One theory is they took out JFK because he wanted to stop them from developing any.
Thats BS. He does not want them to attack because its election year. But if they go in then the US wont join them, but will definitely privately support them.
President Biden also spoke to Israel Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu over the phone. Netanyahu has said Israel will respond to the attack strongly and that it has been preparing for a direct attack by Iran for years. https://www.ndtv.com/world-news/isr...lley-of-drones-at-israel-india-reacts-5437546 So Netanyahu was just itching to throw punches at Iran, eh?
In the meantime, the House is convening to offer aid to Israel for this "unprovoked attack". But I wouldn't exactly call it "unprovoked". npr.org House GOP leaders plan to take up Israel aid after Iran attack By Barbara Sprunt|Apr. 13th, 2024 In light of Iran's unjustified attack on Israel, the House will move from its previously announced legislative schedule next week to instead consider legislation that supports our ally Israel and holds Iran and its terrorist proxies accountable," said House Majority Leader Steve Scalise in a statement. He added: "The House of Representatives stands strongly with Israel, and there must be consequences for this unprovoked attack." House Speaker Mike Johnson said in a statement he "will continue to engage with the White House to insist upon a proper response" to the attack.
You saw for yourself what happened to Iraq after the invasion. Do we really wanna go through that again? I say leave the hornet's nest alone. While we might not like the Iran's current regime, destabilizing the area will only invite bigger menace like ISIS to fill the void.
