Besides the humanitarian catastrophy - an engagement of the USA in Israel will accelerate their debt spiral like the proxy war in Ukraine is already doing. What an opportunity for Lagarde's camarilla to distract from the structural debt and liquidity crisis of the Eurozone. Preventing capital flight is all they are focused on.

The US still has some cards to play. I wouldn't be surprised to see renewed talk about requiring pension funds and other retirement portfolios to hold a certain amount of treasuries.

I don't think anyone coordinated this on purpose.
It sure is a convenient moment in time/ in the economy for the two wars to break out.
But these two wars have been brewing for a while now and got ignited because of these economic factors and not coordinated to distract from them.
coinciding != correlating != causation
