President Donald Trump said that Israel and Iran have agreed to a “complete and total ceasefire” just hours after Iran launched missiles at a U.S. military base.
Except it’s not like either of the other two wars.
I’d agree with the comparison if, for example, the US attack on Iran immediately brought Russia to war with the US, which triggered Article 5, which got China involved. That sort of domino effect happened the last two times but doesn’t appear to be happening now.
Could it become WWIII? Maybe. But right now it still looks like a regional conflict, and a rather small one at that compared to the first two Iraq wars.
But I’m only 1/3 of the way through the latest Perun video so I reserve the right to change my mind.
