Best thing 5he Democrats can do to lose the election is get dragged into a war with Iran which it fights on Israels behalf.
Best thing Netanyahu can do is start this war now, so he can make sure either suceeding US administration is already sucked in and send American kids to die for him.
I am not sure if Russia has the capacity to make any military threats right now. They seem to be mostly busy throwing everything into their self made meat grinder in Ukraine.
They should have prevented Israel from bombing Syria if they wanted to contain Israels spread in the region. But Israel offered to not support the West on Ukraine in return for free reign in Syria, which Russia accepted.
