Expect a large scale US/Israel attack, maybe this weekend.
Israel elections in 5-6 days, US midterms in ~2 weeks.
The US could start another round of attacks, but this is an incredibly unpopular war. Escalating again before midterms will only hurt the party in power right now. Not that sense is something this administration has much of.
Our Draft law coming in soon too.
In the US? There won't be a draft unless the Republicans are ready to forfeit almost all their political power.
Eh. If it was any other time, I would have invoked "Wag the dog" movie, but these days that movie seems overly optimistic.
