Trump’s War Alliance With Israel Is Reshaping the Middle East. But It Carries Risks.
President Trump is the first American leader to embrace fighting a full-fledged, joint war with Israel. Washington has tried to avoid that level of coordination in the past.

In 1991, American officials flew to Israel to keep the country from retaliating against Scud missile attacks and joining the Gulf War.

In 2002, Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld warned it would be “in Israel’s overwhelming best interests not to get involved” in the looming invasion of Iraq.

In 2026, the United States went to war alongside Israel.

“It’s the first time,” said Amos Yadlin, a former head of Israeli military intelligence, “that Israel is going to war together with a superpower.”

The United States has been the Jewish state’s most important backer for decades, providing it with weaponry and working closely with the Israeli military. But successive U.S. administrations avoided fighting with Israel as a wartime ally. They were worried about losing U.S. support in the Arab world and have seen Israeli interests in the Middle East as divergent from American ones.

The ayatollahs are assholes who should be dead, but Iran has never attacked the United States.

1. "Trump's War Alliance With NETANYAHU" .... this is a bromance between two dictator wannabes, not an alliance

between two nations. The Tin Soldier Twins are just dragging their countries into the quagmire with them, against widespread opposition and disapproval

2. NYT agenda matches Epstein's

The rich get richer a la PNAC.

3. What could possibly go wrong using Trump?

So, after the lessons of WWII Israeli powers that be felt constrained to use ANY tactic for survival ultimately focusing on the demise of their enemies before the oil game disappeared and their Euro and American allies vanished. They played into the Game and got two oil guy presidents(fairly recently) to take out some. The Arab spring got around the edges and peacemakers got Gaza isolated then abandoned. The only thorn(Saudi Arabia is clutching its global financial pearls) is the big radicalized but stressed out Iran. At a somewhat strategic moment, probably enhanced or created by CIA and Mossad we have the only loon in American history to launch an insane attack. A loon set up by Russian Israeli agents and fleeing his "secret" honey trap/collusion" in the apocalypse of Krasnov.

Had to believe Putin would secretly aid him in Iran, Israel would be there for him 100%, that giving Putin oil would be part of the "deal". Real panic however at Ukraine offering him valuable help. THAT definitely screws the long and short deal with Putin. Lives will be lost for rejecting that useful offer. But now that the game's afoot, no screaming, demanding, rationalizing can win a war or guarantee help from allies of any sort, or the simple surrender of a large nation punched by a bully with loudly insulting, mad prejudice.

Meanwhile we seem to have no one near DC- or elsewhere- to defend the Constitution from a traitor, useful idiot, falsely elected, criminal and imminent danger to all mankind occupier of an overly powerful executive seat at war with all mankind to save all things personal to him alone... One reason is long decades, maybe longer than you think, panicky moves by rich elites to leave us with nothing except compromised human beings at ALL points of power. And loving a useful madman at the helm.
