NY Times-—Israeli officials had their own plans to attack Iranian nuclear sites, back in May.
They were all prepared to carry them out, and were sure the United States would sign off.

Israeli plans would have required US help not just to defend Israel from Iranian retaliation, but also ......to finance, and ensure that an Israeli attack was successful....... making the United States a central part of the attack itself.

Fetterman visited Israel to show his support.

Memo to Fetterman: Netanyahu was not in DC asking Trump’s
permission to bomb Iran. He was asking Trump to do it for them.

Israel gonna attack Iran?

Mmmmmm, yummy..... an-oth-er extremely astute, well-thought out, political strategy:
<><>US taxpayers supply all of Israel’s economic financing and acres of armaments;
<><>lucky us, we get to be involved in all their wars
<><>in return we get all their enemies and assorted problems,
<><>future American generations get to inherit Israel’s enemies and their debts as well,
<><>while Israel gets to be a world leader.....unencumbered.

So brilliant.....could even catch on worldwide.



The Mideast guys haven’t been especially kind to the US or its presidents. The Washington foreign policy establishment has an ingrained belief in its own brilliance and a willingness to succumb to hubris about the extent of its power and influence. The Middle East has a tried and true formula to get foreign aid tax dollars.....uttering the word “peace” at regular intervals.

“Peace” in the Middle East has been a pipe dream for about a thousand years........there’s a
huge price tag on “peace,” with the US taxpayer gamely trying to meet the latest “peace price.”

Netanyahu to Trump: “Can you top this?”
<><>Biden blanketed Israel w/ $17.9 billion peace-keeping tax dollars in the 2024 election year alone, bragging, “Nobody has done more for Israeli peace than I have.”
<><>Rubio just gave Israel $4 billion tax dollars, over and above Israel’s annual US billions.

Besides peace-making weaponry, Israel also receives peace-keeping economic and humanitarian US tax dollars in USAID, which supports broad peaceful economic development and socio-political stability and can include peaceable non-military US support related to the country’s pressing peace needs.

Nice.
