Iran did this because they want the war. That means that this is only one step in their plan. What the next step might be is anybody’s guess; but the worst guess is that there is no next step. It might be wise to consider the US southern border.

Do you think there might be an attack in the US? There is def a syncs of plannings in diff parts of the world that's been happening for sometime lately.

Side track a little, why is the border control so bad, uncle Bob? Trump went overboard in splitting families. Obama's time this happened too but quietly (unfortunately). Biden - makes no sense, all he says is that the budget has been approved by the previous presidency so he can't do anything about it. I mean, what's the point of being the president then ? RFK talked about the inner working of the border control and how corrupt it is and that's why nobody can do anything about. You just pay "certain connections" money and you go through. And it makes me wonder if all other gov'ts just close an eye on corruption.

I think that's possible. It could serve as a distraction from events in the Middle East. But I think it's more likely that the threat of an attack would be used as a way to soften our defense of Israel.

WRT the border, the issue is very complicated.

1. We need immigration to keep our demographics from collapsing. Americans do not make enough babies to support the welfare state and the industrial base. So brining young families in from abroad addresses that need.

2. Democrats believe that the immigrants will vote for them in the short term. So they encourage as much immigration as they can.

3. Republicans want the influx of cheap labor. So they also encourage as much immigration as they can.

4. Populists and Nationalists are concerned that the short term wellfare costs, and national security risks, are too great to bear, and that the effect on our culture will be disruptive.

5. Both political parties want the issue to use as a hammer against the other side. So neither are motivated to fix it.
