Secretary of State Marco Rubio admitted that the U.S. was forced into the war with Iran by Israel while speaking with reporters on Monday. He explained that the government of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu had effectively boxed in the Trump administration, taking the decision out of American hands.

“We knew that there was going to be an Israeli action,” Rubio explained. “We knew that that would precipitate an attack against American forces, and we knew that if we didn’t pre-emptively go after them before they launched those attacks, we would suffer higher casualties.”

They wouldn't have been forced in if they didn't provide Israel with so much military support. Iran would have only retaliated against Israel.

Couldn't the US simply not attack Iran? Wasn't this a possibility? Could it be that all of this hard power the US Government has gets wet because daddy Israel is their master?
