No doubt played by Netanyahu

I saw someone on X or Bluesky say that Netanyahu has waited 30 years to find a US President he can manipulate perfectly, and found one in Trump.   Very true, I think.

There are many, many worrying aspects to this - in particular, Trumps cringe "we love you God", Hegseth's similar statement of confidence that God's on their side, and General Cain enthusiasm to endorse the attack as if it's the greatest military triumph in history.   

What is also certain is, if there is a terrorist attack on the US mainland (which, short of a lot of military in the Middle East being taken out in some missile attacks, I suspect will be the most dramatic cost to the US), MAGA will seek to blame Democrats for letting in "sleeper cells" or some such guff.   They will not take responsibility for the whole problem - which started with their bad faith attack on Obama's diplomatic approach to effectively defusing Iran's bomb making ability.  

More later.

I cannot get over this existential threat to Israel of Iran having a nuclear bomb. Where is the evidence of this?
If Iran launched a nuclear missile on Israel then Israel has over 200 to launch on them let alone the USA. Iranians have no desire to commit suicide.
A nuclear bomb is always a defensive weapon not an offensive weapon.
