Johnson’s answer appeared to be at odds with Trump? Appearance can be deceiving. I am sure that Trump told Johnson that very same thing. So, the author’s speculation is just useless BS, as usual. Everyone agrees, especially Trump, that we need to wrap this thing up.
FACTS ON THE GROUND: Historical evidence suggests Israeli P/M Netanyahu’s plan for relentless bombing of Iran was grossly deceptive....backing Trump into a corner he cannot get out of without losing his international creds......and midterms.
Trump has predictably dismissed the idea that Netanyahu “tricked him,” asserting
that he, himself, ordered strikes “to prevent” Iran from acquiring a nuclear weapon.
Yet, the fact is for many years, Netanyahu unsuccessfully lobbied
multiple US administrations to act wrt Iran’s nuclear ambitions.
Analysts note that while Netanyahu played a significant role in shaping the US perception of the Iranian threat, “Israel’s biggest hurdle” was to “make sure” Trump acquiesced. Trump’s actions had to align with Israel’s own closely-held, decades-long sub rosa policy objectives.
Trump fell for it——hook, line and sinker. Shockingly Trump ignored the
US’ $17 bilion intel apparat......in favor of the self-serving Mossad’s intel.
Exactly. I’m sure Trump would agree we’ve got to wrap it up.
