    According to one U.S. official, Netanyahu’s “hair was on fire” after the call with Trump—for good reason. The Iran war may end up as the single most devastating blow to Israel’s security in its brief history

    Hahahaha.

    The article also speculates that Trump’s surrender in Iran could be very bad for Israel, thanks to Iran’s control of the Straight of Hormuz:

    In a phone call with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu yesterday, Trump reportedly explained that the United States was negotiating a “letter of intent” with Iran that would “formally end the war and launch a 30-day period of negotiations” on Iran’s nuclear program and the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz. The purpose and effect of such an agreement should be clear: The United States is walking away from the crisis.

    According to one U.S. official, Netanyahu’s “hair was on fire” after the call with Trump—for good reason. The Iran war may end up as the single most devastating blow to Israel’s security in its brief history. On the present trajectory, Iran will emerge from the conflict many times stronger and more influential than it was before the war. It will exercise leverage with dozens of the richest nations in the world, all of which will have an acute interest in keeping Iran happy. They will be unlikely to take Israel’s side in any conflict that it has with Tehran or with its proxies in Lebanon and Gaza, because Iran will have the means to punish them if they do. Israel will emerge more isolated than it has been at any time in its history—and not least from its only reliable protector, the United States. When Trump turns his back on Israel, as he must do to implement this policy, MAGA will gladly follow. The bipartisan anti-Israel consensus in the United States will grow and harden.

    Trump’s Endgame is always a test of just how stupid America can be … and that is the key to his success - the near bottomless pit of American idiocy

    Americans need to murder Trump. That’s right, I said it. He deserves to fucking die, and then wipe out the rest of his rancid bloodline.

    Americans are getting fucked over by a rapist. America; fucking stand up already.

      Even in my country (Canada), the news media keeps reporting on Trump as though he were a normal leader. He is not. He is a career criminal - a scammer who is robbing the US blind. Even worse: he doesn’t need to scam any more. At his disposal is the world’s largest military and nuclear arsenal. He is now attacking and robbing other countries. Next up: Cuba. He will keep on robbing and killing until somebody stops him because his greed is bigger than the Earth. Killing Trump would be a moral act.

    Common estimates are that he’s made $4B off the presidency, he got the Supreme Court to decide that any “official” act by him is legal, and sued his own justice department for $10B to orchestrate a “settlement” with a legally binding agreement to never charge him with anything.

    He’s ready to retire now

    Edit: oh, we’re only talking Iran? At some point Iran will propose everything they want and hype it online as trumps plan so he can say “winning!”

    He has no endgame. He’s planning to remain in power until he nom-noms his last Big Mac, whether that’s tomorrow or 10 years from now. Unless he goes very soon, he’s also going to set things up for Junior to assume power. All it will take is a very loose interpretation of the Insurrection Act.

    He will have to removed by force to get him out of the White House in 28.

    Why he wants that "ballroom " so bad.

      Assuming the ballroom gets completed before inauguration '29, I’m fine with Trump staying in it for the rest of his life, as long as all entrances and exits are sealed, and no food or water enters.

      The ballroom is a data center. It’s a cash grab. He wants it because Larry Ellison and Elon Musk want it and promised him a cut.

      There’s already a bunker for personnel under the whitehouse. Trump is NOT building a Fuer bunker. That already exists and has for a long time.

      Bunkers only protect against foreign bombs. Local residents have construction equipment and concrete saws.

    Even if America surrenders and walks away from the Iran conflict with its tail between its legs, Donny and his cult will still claim total victory, and there is a possibility that his approval may actually get a bump from this. Just in time to steal/cancel the midterms and start anew war with Cuba, oh and don’t think he’s forgotten about Greenland…

      I’m betting they want to spin this out until midterms then if the dems get congress and senate, Trump will walk away from Iran and blame it all on the Democrats not letting them “do what needed to be done”.

    Fine! Good! Why are we criticizing this, this is the right move. This article has “hitler did terrible things; he made tactical errors” energy.
