        I don’t see how Israel can lose this war, they are miles ahead in terms of military technology thanks to the US and parts of Europe and if anything goes seriously wrong they will be bailed out by a US invasion force.

          All of these assumptions are not assured.

          The IDF has a very advanced military in terms of hardware, but the only doctrine they appear to practice is genocide against an enclosed much weaker enemy, which among other attrocities is a an awful, counter-productive way to keep a military trained enough to function.

          Israel has more of a hyper militarized police force than a military at this point, and the consequences will be severe if Israel is successful in trying to start a regional war… as police are in my estimation are by far the most enthusiastically wrong demographic of people who think they are good at war without having ever actually experienced it (rather they have experienced the mental rush of having lethal power over others… which is not the experience of war at least beyond the first 5 minutes)…

          The us isn’t invincible and Iran has shown that the iron dome can be cheaply over powered. Ukraine showed military technology isn’t that important on modern battle fields, and I doubt Israel is really prepared for a 10+ front war. The us isnt.
