This is going to cost Israel and the US more than they imagine in the long run.

The inescapable finite capacity of the U.S. to actually manufacture weapons to support Ukraine and Israel in their proxy wars makes their obsession with a multi-front, multi-enemy war seems pathologically suicidal. Perhaps, for neocon Capitalists, going down fighting a hopeless war is less humiliating than a terminal financial collapse?

Note : the Politico article says 60 billion for Ukraine, I had misspoken and said 600 billion! Thank you for those who pointed it out.

When i heard, Israel had 300'000 reservists "Available within 24 hours" i chucked. Within that time frame, it is hard to get 10k people basic equipped, and sent to the proper logistics centres, where they can hand out the Engineering equipment to build forward bases and storage areas for heavy equipment (Tanks and other Fighting vehicles) Fuel and Ammunitions. In Hollywood, you get a Pilot started in a minute. In real life, the plane goes through a Movie length of fueling and arming and another movie-length inspection, while the Pilot is instructed. Start-up checklists and procedures add to that time. That's nearly half of sunlight time. But hey, Life and Hollywood do not match. That's nothing new.

Maybe it's just me, but I get the feeling that Israel is about to step into a bear trap.
