and don't use their money

It would fit the Q narrative of trapping Israel ("We'll save Israel for last.") by stumbling into this war without a clear plan while still pledging allegiance to to Israel to keep plausible deniability. Would give them some options to cause significant chaos within Israel to distract them long enough to prevent them from pulling off the Samson option. Maybe the military budget has just been siphoned off by the plutocracy and the US has been larping their military dominance for at least a decade. Or it's just part of a larger psyop to cause market crashes and energy crises to buy some infrastructure for pennies on the dollar at some point. Too many options to choose from. Times are so weird that you can't even rule the more nutty ones out anymore. I mean, they claim to have weapons to manipulate time and space and have had undisclosed fringe black budget military projects for almost 80 years that should be possible to get them out of such a quagmire. It's all weird.
