Also: Isreali's are gearing up bomb shelters. Willing to bet that the IDF actually fires the first shot.

Step 1: War in the ME. Like, actual organized armies invading sovereign territory with artillery and CAS.
Step 2: Jerusalem gets sacked or wiped off the map by the dirty arabs armies of the Antichrist.
Step 3: Jesus comes back to fight the Antichrist in Armageddon.
Step 4: All true Christians ascend to heaven, while all non-Christians (and Nicholas Cage) are LEFT BEHIND.
Step 5: World ends.

They don't necessarily get left behind for ever, and a lot of "good" people aren't included in the 144x10^3. There's war, lots of war after the J man gets back, and he needs soldiers. Once you get beyond the hideously restrictive Rapture phase, you end up in an off-brand warhammer story.
Instead of hilarious British cultural references, you get preachy Bob from accounting.

It should be utterly unsurprising that the world as a whole is going to try to get its own poo poo done now that the US has proven that it won't play the game anymore. The Korean and Iranian deals might work out pretty well for the parties involved but they absolutely won't give a poo poo about US interests.

Agreed. Something is going to give. And fast. And since our ability to negotiate in good faith is dead and well on its way to being buried, someone else is going to fill that role and fast.

Remember this rear end in a top hat from Charlottesville? The one that fired at the Flamethrower Hero?

https://twitter.com/JoeHeim/status/993949044174131203?s=19

Apparently he was planning to go to a full trial and argue self-defense, then gave up and pled no-contest. The government then presented the case, judge found him guilty of firing a weapon within 1,000 feet of a school property. Max is 10 years.

Was it aimed at the dude and missed or did he aim away? 10 years seems reasonable at least?

It really looks like he aims at the guy, possibly tries to fire then realizes he has to rack the slide, and in that instant thinks better of shooting a guy, but doesn't think better of shooting into the ground near him.

So the guy's a piece of poo poo and might be lucky he wasn't carrying chambered if he really was going for the shot the first time.

He aimed at the guy and the gun jammed or misfired. He then racked the slide and fired into the ground, presumably after thinking twice.

The Iranians aren't going to do a thing to Israel over this in the short-term because that would utterly squander the opportunity of appearing the reasonable party when America is acting like a batshit toddler. They're going to turn to the world and proclaim themselves the offended party—rightly, in this case—and take the opportunity to continue expanding trade and diplomatic relations around the world.

Unless Khamenei is a complete idiot and hands power back to the hardliners over this, of course.

You're overestimating the amount of control the Iranian president has over the IRGC.

Pssh, serious people declared the GWB administration + the invasion of Iraq the death of American world standing and soft power as well. We'll elect a slightly charismatic non-lunatic and everyone will love us again, except for the ones that elected their own reactionary lunatics in the meantime.
