You make a valid point, yet consider...
Bibi was super quick to congratulate FJB. That must have hurt Trump (and us). Look where we are now.
I say it’s a boy’s fight. They’re even now. Now they can focus on the job.
War has no room for emotions in order to get the job done.
I know that President Trump stands with Israel and will help any way he can.
I’ll blame this on my sipping a homemade magarita. You have explicated a critical point. I was a company-grade officer - tactics vis strategy. But what you said rings true. Bibi - for all of his faults - as I, as an outsider see them, probably didn’t want to piss off Biden. They knew what Biden was.
Bibi needed to at least keep US support as an option. Were I someone who could direct policy, I’d swear allegiance to the first Martian Caliphate just to bide time.
But my inclinations to never underestimate the enemy were reinforced in the 70s. Good people die. Trump was correct.
