2 friends of mine, both Iraqis (born and raised), told me they see Iraq merely as an extension of Iran. No patriotism, no definite Iraqi identity, Sunnis forced to the sidelines by Shiite extremism - as they were before Daish's rise (and which led to Daish's rise).

I think #Hezbullah will wait to see the early stages of the ground invasion into Gaza and calculate accordingly whether to intervene or not. But they have 2 fronts they can open v #Israel and that would be very difficult for Isr to defend against.

By which I mean, if they see there's more opportunity to inflict damage on Israel they - Hezbullah - would be willing to intervene. If the war in Gaza goes against Hamas, it would potentially sway Hezbullah to not intervene as there is no prime opportunity..
