Jerry Gordon, a Senior Editor of The New English Review, invited retired US Army Brig. General John Adams to discuss Israel’s military doctrine and strategic options in conducting the Jewish state’s civilizational war with the Iran-backed Hamas and Hezbollah. Given his extensive background as a 30-year veteran of combat, staff, and international military, diplomatic assignments, and post-service informal analysis and discussions with former Senior IDF commanders, he addresses the issues behind the conflict and risks of an escalating Middle East regional war.

War with Iran after Trump re-elected or at least until after election in the United States unless there is a black swan event(s).
IDF generals like US generals are woke. What will make them move off the needle is anyone’s guess and that just might be Bibi not being PM – only surmising.
Iran goes nuclear and you can kiss Israel goodbye so either Israel acts or it runs the risk of being destroyed. Listen to Khomeini’s speeches and writings. You know the guy who took over Iran in 1979 after the French harbored him. He laid it all out and the psychology behind Iran attacking Israel.
