On Monday, Secretary of State Marco Rubio threw the issue of American sovereignty into grave doubt, when he admitted that the United States lacked the power to restrain Israel, stating that Israel was determined to strike Iran regardless of U.S. objections.
He argued that such an Israeli attack would inevitably provoke Iranian retaliation against American forces, leaving the U.S. no choice but to join the operation preemptively in order to minimize casualties from that anticipated response.
“We knew that there was going to be an Israeli action; we knew that that would precipitate an attack against American forces,” said Rubio. “And we knew that if we didn’t preemptively go after them before they launched those attacks, we would suffer higher casualties, and perhaps even higher those killed, and then we’d all be here answering questions about why we knew that and didn’t act.”

By getting in his excuses this early, it’s also a potential indicator the war is not going as planned.
