The point of the MIC is to buy American weapons with taxpayers' money. The weapons needed will all be in stock already (air force will play a huge role).

If Israel sustains any significant damage, then I was wrong, but I think they will 'just' suffer emotional damage and (mainly) civilian casualties, which would be the whole point of a false flag.

If this escalates, it will be because it was intended to escalate, and then particularly towards Iran. I don't believe other countries will get involved -- but it's always possible of course, and that would make things less predictable.
