Everyone’s lives are being made worse by a bunch of old *narcissistic* wannabe dictators who want to stay in power and out of prison.
All because you could not vote for the black woman.
You don’t go to war because your friend asked you to.
Going to war is no-one’s fault but Trump’s.
They actually admitted this?
Weak President. Weak Administration. Lives Lost, Nothing Gained.
Trump is Netanyahu’s puppet! Everyone in the world understands that, except MAGA Cultists!
The pedo took the bait like a fish, and now he’s paying the price along with the Americans who voted for him
It took over 30 years for the Israeli government/Netanyahu to find an American President dumb enough to do their bidding.
Congress, if you’re listening…
Israel AND the American oil industry pushed Trump/GOP to attack Iran. They both benefited.
Sounds like elder abuse.
I highly doubt it.
This was a terrible time for Israel to be involved in a conflict. I certainly think they’re *now* not wanting us to leave them stranded in the middle of it, but there was a lot more pressure from Saudi Arabia and other local nations, not to mention Trump making a big stink for weeks and sending an aircraft carrier.
Frankly, I don’t trust many parts of this administration to actually know what’s going on or have the wherewithal to even figure it out.
So now we’re believing the administration?
Somebody at the State Department is about to be fired, methinks.
Netanyahu wants us to give the IDF money too. Meanwhile our vets are homeless and sick
Friendly reminder. **Israel does not = All Jews.** Democrats are trying to waterdown this label but don’t let the actual anti-semites hijack this distinction. I’m tired of all Jewish people being forced to carry the sins of this crazy ass Jewish supremacy, apartheid ethno state being propped up by America. If it wasn’t for the iron dome shielding them from the horrors of war, Israel would have been forced to make a peace deal a long time ago.
So that makes two countries that pull the strings. Man whatever is in the files must be insane
Thanks to some amazing reporting from New York Times journalists Maggie Haberman and Jonathan Swan several weeks ago, we know what happened in the situation room leading up to Trump’s decision to launch the US into another needless and unjustified war in the middle east.
First, it’s been reported that Trump was the most hawkish and eager to start a war.
Trump also decided to go to war on a “gut feeling” even though US intelligence and his own aides cautioned against it.
There was no sensible rationale to go to war with Iran, so Trump and his cabinet concocted a false pretext.
All the way back in February of last year, Netanyahu met with Trump to pitch the idea of a joint US-Israel military intervention.
Trump agreed without hesitation.
Bibi himself has stated that he’s been waiting for this opportunity for decades. He just needed the perfect American pawn to help him carry out his long awaited war against Iran.
After Trump agreed to Bibi’s plan, US intelligence went to work quickly to decide if the strategy would be practical.
But the head of the CIA himself called it “farcical.”
Over the next few weeks, no consensus could be reached among Trump’s staff.
Marco Rubio was skeptical about going to war, and JD Vance actively opposed the idea, but still supported Trump’s “gut feelings.”
In other words, it was doomed from the start.
Trump foolishly dismissed concerns early on about Strait of Hormuz closures even though he was explicitly warned that Iran would resort to these countermeasures in the Persian gulf.
Due to Trump’s poor planning, arrogance and incompetence, Iran now has more bargaining power and leverage over matters of their sovereignty, their control over the Strait of Hormuz, and even the future of their nuclear weapons program.
With a nudge from Netanyahu, Trump launched us into an illegal foreign war in the middle east under false pretenses.
A war that ignores lessons from history about what happens when the US tries regime change in countries like Iran.
A war Trump started without consulting with our allies or Congress.
A war with little to no support from the American people.
A war based on “feelings.”
And a war that has always been one of choice, not of necessity.
When you have videos of Tronald Dump having sexual intercourse with minors, you can get away with a lot.
I can’t it for the life of me figure out why we want to let the Gulf princes off the hook. Saudis gave Kushner $2 billion dollars. The Qatari gave Trump a plane. What do we think that money was for?
Israel couldn’t have hoped for a more gullible administration.
Its obvious to people who don’t blindly worship him at least.
Y’know, weird stuff happens when Americans get fed up with having another country pulling the strings. Just ask Britain.
It was the Saudis, many articles about it.
And trump agreed to it.
Don’t get this wrong, Israel tried to do this 4 other times. Trump might have been pushed, but he still chose to do it. This is still on him, and he needs to learn that not all messes can be swept up like the 10 year old he tries to be
Just Israel? What about Saudi Arabia?
