Israel. What do you think the Epstein situation was all about? Gathering kompromat on politicians, in order to ensure they serve the interests of Israel.
I've been saying this all along
At least in theory, Trump
could have pushed back against Zionism, The Lobby and so on but it would have taken gigantic balls. There was likely no desire to do so in the first place. I don't know how ordinary Americans feel about this state of affairs, how many question that Israel own congress completely.
Effectively, Netanyahu is the President of the US and Trump is maybe the VP, if even that.
This is part of why I don't think the US needs to worry about an Iranian nuke. If Iran gets a nuke, it is a much bigger problem for Saudi Arabia, Israel, and Europe. If they're so crazy and going to nuke everyone it forces other people to watch over the Iranian nuclear program. It doesn't have to be our problem. It should be their problem long before it becomes our problem.
It's everyone's problem. If I'm allowed to be an alarmist again, what this bombing did is that the International Non-Proliferation Treaty is now likely toast. Iran is now likely out, the program is now underground so to speak. Medvedev and the Russians now warn that Iran has also been offered ready made nuclear warheads. The Russians have always said Iran should never get the bomb. I didn't find the post right now, but I hear Trump said something like, "Did I hear the former President of Russia say the n-word?! That they will give Iran nukes!" Either he is monumentally stupid or he is playing stupid games again. Obviously that's not what Medvedev said, he sounded alarms about the new situation. Both China and Russia are completely against Iran ever acquiring nuclear warheads, obviously. Because if they do, then Saudi and Turkey will also acquire them. That is a nightmarish situation. I will say that it's unlikely Iran would ever use one if they had it because it's obviously mutually assured destruction, well Iran's complete destruction Iran at least, but other actors could get involved which could lead to
MAD. Trump says if they had one they would
immediately use it! Sigh. I think there's a bigger chance Israel uses one, say if they know Iran now for certain just acquired one. Someone asked if they could deliver one and if the Iron Dome could shoot it down like all the other missiles they've shot down. MIT Prof Ted Postol explained that ballistic missile nukes can have like 20 decoy warheads each. They are disguised in inflatable balloons. So when you have an incoming nuke you have to guess which one is the real warhead, a one in twenty chance.
What this PR bombing stunt did was make the world security situation a thousand times worse. I just checked and Trump is spouting his total obliteration and "nuclear program set back 20 years crap"; it was really stupid to celebrate a WIN immediately. Only a total dumbass would do that. And he's posting these Nobel Peace Prize nominations. An utter embarrassment, the laughingstock of the whole world. Fucking wait a few hours to see how the situation develops FFS! Is the US and Israel now sitting complacent knowing Iran's nuclear material is God know where, and knowing someone else might give Iran a warhead? Of course not. Trump is desperate to not be dragged into a bigger ME war, to his credit, but he is neck deep in shit. Netanyahu played him and he just had to do something for the Jews to please his donors and get these praises on Fox News...
he's on TV!!!!!! Which to him is the measure of success. But he's a boomer and doesn't understand that most people don't watch TV anymore, they get their new from social media, podcast, alternative sources.
I can't help writing this long winded crap, sorry.
