Really?
Well the destruction of Israel would be a net positive, and forcing the world to have less oil is also good for humanity. Is this the optimal outcome for humanity as a whole? No. But assuming the Mad King executes his plan to attack Iran, if the outcome described by the article comes true it's a net-good. Also consider that Trump will not do anything that is good intentionally, so we just have to look at the silver-lining, and if the destruction of Israel is part of that silver-lining then it's the best case scenario and unintentionally the best thing Trump has ever done.
I think the Xtian nationalists in Trump's circle want this destruction since they see it as a precursor to the rapture.
I've heard this postulated since Bush Jr. but no. Christian fundamentalist are a useful voting bloc, they have influence on cultural issues that don't matter if you are trying to make money. (LBGT/Abortion etc) but war in Central America, Africa, South East Asia, all happen without them.
Not sure what you mean to say here.
