The usual delusional propaganda. USA is not letting it "play out". USA is actively arming and funding genocide and terrorism in several countries.

In the long run we the USA are going to be fucked by this.
Maybe. Or maybe getting involved is how we get fucked by this. It's why Osama did 9/11, after all.
Do you think we aren't involved in this? Do you think the people whose parents whose children whose brothers whose sisters whose family are being killed by American bombs are going to think that?
Did you misread my comment or something?

Aaron David Miller, a former U.S. Middle East negotiator, said Washington had little hope of restraining Israel and saw potential benefits in the operation.
Washington has little desire to restrain Israel, or else it would have stopped sending weapons a year ago. This can be ended with a phone call; we know because it’s been done before: NYT, 1982: Reagan Demands End to Attacks in A Blunt Telephone Call to Begin

- 2017: Episode 13: The Always Stumbling US Empire: "Stumbling", "sliding", "drawn into" war––the media frequently assumes the US is bumbling its way around the world. The idea that the United States operates in “good faith” is taken for granted for most of the American press while war is always portrayed as something that happens to the US, not something it seeks out.
- 2021: News Brief - Colin Powell: Stumbling Empire Personified: In this News Brief, we recap the recap of Powell's life, from the handwringing over his Iraq War UN speech to the erasure of his role in covering up My Lai massacre to training rightwing death squads in Central America and the central importance of "Good Intentions" when venerating our beloved, bipartisan war-makers.
