Not only will this put more pressure on Israel diplomatically, isolate them and make them a pariah State, like apartheid South Africa near the end, but it guarantees America will be complicit in aiding and abetting genocide..

I still don't think a lot of people understand the ramifications of this.

In regards to US retaliation against the strike, and let's be real here: this isn't the first time that Americans have been killed. It seems like - by finally admitting to death, the US actually wants to, finally at least, (ed: mount) a large scale attack. So by admitting to the deaths, they can get Americans to supposedly rally around the flag.

The problem is - other than attack the popular mobilization forces in Iraq - there's not much they can do. They definitely don't have the capability to hit Iran. No Arab country will allow them to use their airspace for fear of Iranian retaliation.

In theory, they could use the carrier strike group. But let's face it: between Yemen, which still owes the US revenge, and Iran's Navy, that's not a possibility either. So I don't expect much, however, considering how incompetent this fighting regime is, who knows?
