Do people actually think the middle east conflict will start ww3?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 days ago (4 children)

there's a low likelyhood.

The key question is what will happen to Israel in the future?

In my opinion, Israel cannot stay in the middle east for much longer. They have to move out.

Israel is so universally hated in the middle east, it's difficult to put into words. (at least that's what i got from other people's messages). it's difficult/impossible to conceive a long-term stability in the region with Israel in it. and israel knows this, of course.

The question is: what will israel do? Will it escalate the conflict to try to grasp to power through military dominance in the area? Or will it soften its grip and let go of control in the middle east?

I think your souces for whats actually happening is clouding your judgement. There is no world where isreal is forced out of the middle east. They've made the strategic moves to take those options off the table.

Isreal is more than capable of defending themselves with us support. They have destroyed almost all major threats in rhe region with Iran being the last one.

Arabs in the region will never forget this war. But Arabs also hated isreal before so I doubt much has changed on the perception front.

Most likely isreal will go back to normalisation with governments in the region since all major terrorist factions are virtually eliminated. If they can get regime change in Iran there is a good chance things will stabilise. Maybe they will need to destroy the houthis as well.

Aka threatening the planet with a nuclear holocaust.

No. The zio regime is still fully in control of large areas of palestine. Not to mention wider imperial terrorism.

Yes nuclear powers ensure their security by threatening to use nukes this is known and not some big revelation. Its why they are so reluctant to let others join that club.

The conversation is about Isreal. I am obviously talking from the perspective of isreal who do not considers themselves a terrorist threat.
