    Meanwhile, Trump has suddenly been playing that good guy cop role very hard over the last few days and acting like he was actually urging Netenyahu to stop the war in Gaza.

    He agreed to back away from the Russia Ukraine conflict and allow Putin to retaliate against Ukraine with as much force as they want in exchange for Russia allegedly keeping Iran in check.

    And in Israel, Netenyahu failed to pass a law that would keep his most conservative base from being drafted and subject to the same laws as the rest of Israel. This risked his position of power and led to a vote on Wednesday that would have dissolved his government. It didn’t pass, but the vote proved he has lost support due to the way he’s leading his country. 24 hours later and once he was reassured his power was safe, he does this and makes comments that he had Trump’s full support before Trump actually commented on anything.

    Also sounds like Netenyahu is very much planning to invade Iran, and parroting similar talking points made by Trump earlier this week.

      Yeah, the Iranian government is tyranny for sure, but calling an Israeli invasion “a liberation from tyranny” requires someone asking the Palestinians how their liberation is going…

      Trump and Elon don’t need to be smart enough for fucking “5D chess” when this basic ass distraction tactic works so damn well.
