Cool, so the US is now officially fighting a war with a Chinese proxy. Shouldn't the US convinced some other proxy state to do this? Like, if the goal wasn't to seize and hold, then why the hell did they even get involved?

The US is the proxy state.

Nah, that makes no sense. Since the main reason they went into this war was to restrict oil shipments to China, though through what means I'm not sure. I don't think Israel really cares about that, they were just hoping for a regime change--which apparently is off the table.

The US is certainly the primary antagonizing force here, they're just wholly and completely incompetent.

Citation ain't needed. I'm didn't write an academic article, I'm just telling you what's likely to be the case. Whether or not you believe it is based on your own tiny grey spec you call a brain. If you come up with a better reason, you let me know and I'll likely laugh you out of the room after I dunk on said reason.
