I read your sentence about Biden not needing a war in an election year. Historically though haven't wartime presidents done quite well in an election year?
I really wouldn't put it past him and his handlers to start one just to get him over the finish line and keep Trump out of the WH.
Good Sir, your Optimism is very treasonous to my most humble DOOM-wares! 😉
Something to consider:
The 'Israelis' have been brought up to believe themselves to be 'Supermen'... those for whom the standard rules of law, normativity & ethics, writ large, do not apply. So they are always able (in their mind) to inflict the untermensh Arab & Persian savages with 'whatever it is they wish.'
Bombing an embassy? YES WE CAN!
So this Strike by the Iranians into Military bases in the Negev & the Golan... is Soul-Crushing for such alleged 'Supermen'... & they will demand Blood & Gore from Netanyahu & cronies. Enter the 'over-escalation' move & WW III as a result of said Apartheid, supremacist Madness.
In general, Logic is trumped by Values at the end of the Day.
Very well reasoned. It's my understanding from a leading source in Lebanon that the larger strategy of the Axis of Resistance is to continue to pressure Israel to the point where its own population acknowledges defeat of the apartheid state and either departs the region, as many are now doing, and/or allows a democratic process to create a new Palestine. We shall see. They are very patient and the Israeli state is collapsing both demographically and economically. The fanatical ultra-Orthodox Jews cannot sustain a bond fide modern nation-state.
None of the real big dogs are itching for this fight . The ostensible 'leader of the pack' (Dementia Joe) and the War Toadies are barking and snarling , but the dogs that will be doing the fighting are not up for it . Our last desert adventurehas soured the Scots-Irish and Midwestern farmboys on Our Greatest Ally and its evil intentions . Little Benji N can nip and yap , but the war battered dogs are staying in the yard for this one .

A reassuring realist assessment. Thank you, Frank Wright.
Doomsayers have correctly predicted 10 of the last World War Threes.

I agree with you.
And here I was getting a bit excited about nukes falling on DC.
