I believe Thom is spot-on to suspect foreign actors will provoke incidents that will hurt the current American administration. Frankly, following the "who benefits" rule I firmly follow, I feel quite sure it has already begun. I would bet that Iran -- perhaps with old Vladmir in the background -- prodded HAMAS into that stupid series of attacks on Israel, back in October. There is no possible benefit the Palestinian people could have derived from those attacks. So, who was HAMAS acting for? Who benefited?
Certainly Iran: Derailing the gradual progress of Israel and the Saudis toward some form of peace deal was a priority for them. Iran's theocracy sees the Saudis -- the prime mover among Sunni Moslems -- as their principal enemy in all the world.
And the act surely shows how inaffective Biden is in trying to end Israel's massive over-reaction -- an onslaught we are paying for.
For me, the more critical question is: Are the National level Democrats -- or any true Americans in positions of power -- going to stand up and play hard ball? Or are they just going to wring their hands, fold their tents, and fall back to their country homes, letting the world slide into a nuclear powered replay of the 1930s/1940s?
