It's not even just the fact that there will likely be a regional war, the effect on the global economy will be absolutely massive, so countries that don't want to get involved will be dragged in across the globe. Honestly, i think it's inevitable or as close to inevitable as it could possibly be

Just to add, when America were attacked on home soil, they didn't hesitate to exact revenge, so Biden saying don't retaliate is laughable

Yep.

I'd expect it from my govt. I imagine the Israel people are much the same. Nobody wants war at the end of the day, but when is the line drawn? They are being attacked by both terrorists and now Iran, an actual country. Israel has a right to self-defense and they would be in the wrong to do nothing for their people.
