Houthis Join War; Strike Israel; Medvedev Warns Big Nuclear Risks; Massive Russian Donbass Buildup (Alexander Mercouris)

The war is pushing both Iran, the Gulf State countries, and Turkey to arm themselves with nuclear weapons that can come from Pakistan and/or North Korea. US security guarantees have failed. By attacking Iran the regional situation has become worse. What will the Israelis do if other countries in the region declare they have nuclear weapons - and what will the US do to help them?

The underlying situation in Israel, and the Arab countries, is that many/most of the inhabitants would prefer if the other side was wiped out. Two possible endgames to this situation are that one side does indeed wipe out the other, OR a hard political option is agreed upon where everyone stays within their own borders, that will be redrawn, and that no further attacks of any sort are made, and that a move towards a more secular society, for all people, is taken. The key thing is to have people living in their own viable areas. In this case both the Israelis and Islamists need to make a lot of concessions territorially, and ideologically. Both their religions instruct their followers to treat outsiders as less than equal. Without massive ideological reform, and political-territorial changes, the final outcome will be more genocide.
