Iran’s ballistic missile program could be destroyed in a few weeks. The regime would be so weakened that it could not choke off the Strait of Hormuz, and the likelihood that Iran would land blows against U.S. interests in neighboring countries was assessed as minimal.

they aren't wrong, the play worked for israeli interests - there is now a shooting war between Iran and the US that the US can't/won't extricate itself from. this has been the likud dream for decades.

this is like project Ukraine for the US - it doesn't matter if Ukraine wins or loses, it matters if they fight. similarly, it doesn't matter to Israeli psychos if the US wins or loses, it matters that they fight Iran.

The difference is that Ukraine used to be a neutral country, and needed a lot of external intervention building its Nazi army and putting warmonger compradors in charge; whereas the US comes fully pre-Nazified, has been frothing to invade Iran for 50 years in its own right, and also controls the zionist entity's purse strings.

If we know one thing it is that Trump can hold a grudge. I really hope he fucks with Israel for the rest of his term, for making him look weak.

If this were a game of Stellaris or whatever this is the part where I'd load an old save and NOT attack the enemy that completely kicks my ass

Golly, Trump must be really really angry at ol' Bibi for misleading him so badly!

Imagining having to sit through holden bloodfeast's powerpoint slide deck gave me psychic damage.
