11/1: Could the Israel–Hamas Conflict Spark a Regional War?

Yes it will. The Islamic Republic of Iran is the state sponsor of Hamas’s sophisticated air/land/sea pogrom - the barbaric slaughter of 1,400 mostly Jewish civilians. Iran is the state sponsor of the other terrorist groups that attack Israel and have recently attacked US forces in Syria, Iraq, and the Red Sea - unfathomably funded with money the Obama & Biden administrations returned to Iran - a known state sponsor of terrorism. Why doesn’t the UN & Arab countries condemn Hamas? Hamas is using its civilian population as human shields by building its military installations below and around civilian infrastructure. Hamas does not allow the civilian population to evacuate. Why don’t Arab countries take in Gaza refugees? And…what happens if Iranian proxies shoot a salvo of rockets at one of the offshore US carrier battle groups? It’s going to be bad. Well, the Biden administration may appease Iran and separate the actions of Iran’s proxies from Iran - kicking the can down the road, which a future US administration will have to handle the next big Iranian sponsored terrorist attack. We have to believe Iran & its proxies when they say their goal is to wipe Israel off the map and they chant, “death to America.“ Iran doesn’t treat the UK much better.

Dry.. super dry.. like burnt toast dry.

The dude who hosts this sounds like he’s a fossil who’s woken up after a 50 million year sleep. There isn’t any liveliness, humor or joviality here. Come and listen to this is you want to fall asleep - for 50 million years.
